Donut Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Screw it, I'd pay for a -D anytime! Better radar, JDAM, DFCS and better resolution for that LANTIRN!

ohyeah2389 Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 I mean, I agree. The -D model is quite different and requires A LOT of work so I would never expect it for free. Surely not for full price like the A/B (if you own those) but maybe as an expansion pack and/or standalone. I think 99% of people would happily pay whatever price for a properly made -D model. I think it would work if you could buy the A/B or D model for 80$ each, but once you owned one, you could get the other one for 50$ or 60$.

Donut Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 55 D's were built of over 700 F14's. There is very little data available. If you want the D, go find the data. Makes sense...and if there was widely available data, it would still be a couple more years before we would see it in DCS. An F-14B with Sparrowhawk HUD upgrade and other associated upgrades makes much more sense but for some reason as Cobra has stated, this is unlikely. i5 7600K @4.8GHz | 1080 Ti | 32GB 3200MHz | SSD | DCS SETTINGS | "COCKPIT" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dudikoff Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 An F-14B with Sparrowhawk HUD upgrade and other associated upgrades makes much more sense but for some reason as Cobra has stated, this is unlikely. I guess there's already a B in game and if they implement a HUD and a PTID, why not go a bit further and make a D to complete the variant trilogy. But even if they wanted, they can't make the B you're asking for because they don't have a weapons part of the NATOPS which describes all the PTID menu functions. 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.

With that being said F14D's were actually made without PTID's. IRRC they only got them after F14B's started being scrapped which would been in the last few years in the F14D's service life Edited April 7, 2019 by Kev2go Build: Windows 10 64 bit Pro Case/Tower: Corsair Graphite 760tm ,Asus Strix Z790 Motherboard, Intel Core i7 12700k ,Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 64gb ram (3600 mhz) , (Asus strix oc edition) Nvidia RTX 3080 12gb , Evga g2 850 watt psu, Hardrives ; Samsung 970 EVo, , Samsung evo 860 pro 1 TB SSD, Samsung evo 850 pro 1TB SSD, WD 1TB HDD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

csdigitaldesign Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Razbam just posted a video a couple of days ago stating their intentions.... https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3866759&postcount=1 As for the Cat D. Why would HB spend another year rebuilding the module that's not even finished yet, instead of moving on to the next plane. I just don't see it. Heatblur made the F-14. NOT Razbam. Sooo why is this in this thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csdigitaldesign Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Really? Any real evidence? They once remarked about making a lot of things... Also, Razbam has already so many things on their desk. I highly doubt any of them can reach the state of release any soon... Actually there is a LOT of evidence. :P https://razbamsimulations.com/index.php/dcs/f-15e-project https://i.imgur.com/MKuaOng.jpg https://uploads.mudspike.com/original/3X/2/0/2025b9227e4a695ec15fb590d4509b7afdb24675.jpeg https://uploads.mudspike.com/original/3X/1/c/1cee025434c3cbb5f830d64f327dbb53bd7a5e45.jpeg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csdigitaldesign Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Since no one is making a F-15E... F-14D can be the closest thing you will get to F-15E. And oh yeah, it is far more advanced than F14A/B. Oh? I thought the closest thing to a F-15E would be the the F-15E Razbam is currently ALREADY making. https://razbamsimulations.com/index.php/dcs/f-15e-project Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top Jockey Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Hello everyone, I just came here to say: Yeah the D would be great also... but modern looking HUDs already exist in F-15, F-16, F/A-18, and so on.

Hummingbird Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 IIRC there's a lack of information on the F-14D's systems for them to make it at this point. Hopefully they will be able to dig it up in the future as an F-14D would be a dream come true for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brigg Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Agreed having a F14D is part of my wet dreams as well :lol: but at the moment I would prefer them to concentrate on the A/B and making them as realistic as humanly possible.

Heatblur have expressed intrest to, in their words, "continue the tomcat journey", and that might mean they will be making a late model B with new HUD and displays etc, or maybe a D. However nothing is certain or promised, they have only expressed interest in doing so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However nothing is certain or promised, they have only expressed interest in doing so. I believe it was said somewhere that they wouldn't do a late B model because they might as well just go do a D model at the point. The upgraded B's saw a lot of action in a very short amount of time, but for scenario wise it makes much more sense to come out with the D. Also be better for sales.

TacoGrease Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 It’s the F-14 Tomcat, one of the most iconic aircraft ever made. It’s not something relatively obscure like [insert a significant percentage of currently available DCS aircraft]. I think the sales would still be pretty dang high. I would gladly pay more money for Heatblur to continue to develop later versions of the F-14. Would love to see the sales figures of the F-14 vs. the Viggen...
