Cobra847 Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 Hi Everyone! As our engineering team heads back from the U.S. (and their live F-14 pilot demo and feedback session) - the art team is busy as ever behind the scenes. Every single placeholder model and texture is being replaced by production level artwork. Here's a sneak peek at the pilots' stick. We can't wait to fully unveil your new office! :) We've been pretty lackluster with the meatier, detailed text based updates as of late; instead focusing on smaller Facebook tidbits. We'll try to do a bigger, more detailed update soon to give you all a detailed rundown on where the F-14 project stands and our current release projections. Thanks for all of your support!

TomCatMucDe Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 Looking more real than real. I have an annoying question, is Q4 early access still on the table or we can expect a delay? Top job Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
NeilWillis Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 They look amazingly good. I have high hopes for the rest of the module - it looks like we'll be in for a huge treat!

VIKBELL Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 (edited) What does the rotary switch control? It looks very good.. Edited October 3, 2017 by VIKBELL forgot something.

RaceFuel85 Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 What does the rotary switch control? It looks very good.. Direct Lift Control, I believe. It was spring loaded with a resting position of retracted.

Panzerfan Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 Absolutley beautiful, I love the samll details like the worn sticker and the finger print on the bottom around the NWS button, I mean you're likeley never going to see that finger print but Heatblur put it in anyway! This module will be a day one purchase for me!
joey45 Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 Looking awesome. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

scaflight Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 From the flight manual: Am I reading that right, that it should be impossible to launch flares with flaps lowered?

Dudikoff Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 Am I reading that right, that it should be impossible to launch flares with flaps lowered? Well, not with this button if flares are lowered and the throttle is at less than Mil position, which is presumably something you'd do at landing. i386DX40@42 MHz w/i387 CP, 4 MB RAM (8*512 kB), Trident 8900C 1 MB w/16-bit RAMDAC ISA, Quantum 340 MB UDMA33, SB 16, DOS 6.22 w/QEMM + Win3.11CE, Quickshot 1btn 2axis, Numpad as hat. 2 FPH on a good day, 1 FPH avg.
