KL0083 Posted August 21, 2018 Posted August 21, 2018 Super Tomcat 21 or Bust. Also the Triple AM!!! :beer::beer::beer:
Banzaiib Posted August 22, 2018 Posted August 22, 2018 Some systems on the D model are still classified so the chances are low that we will get one, that being said i think the bombcat will be very nice Many systems on the F-18C and F-15C are classified, but we sill have the variants in game. I think the decision about doing or not doing the F-14 D variant is more about ROI and development time than whether a system is classified.

As of F-16CJ/CM which featured BMS 4.33!!! :thumbup:
RaceFuel85 Posted August 22, 2018 Posted August 22, 2018 True,agree! As of F-16CJ/CM which featured BMS 4.33!!! :thumbup: It's the question of what level of fidelity an individual developer is willing to accept. There are classified systems left out of BMS but they figure they can get close enough for the civilian market.
Banzaiib Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 (edited) True,agree! As of F-16CJ/CM which featured BMS 4.33!!! :thumbup: Also, I will gladly pay for the A&B variants, and if they decided to do the D (heh heh... "the D"), I'd pay for an upgrade later, if it meant they could justify the investment cost... similar to how they did the GPS addon thing... not that I bought that, but i'd much rather pay an extra $15 or $20 for "the D" than a gps module addon.

Donut Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 The F-14D and all of it's advancements and glass cockpit would be incredible but if it's not feasible, I think a great addition would be an F-14B that has the upgraded SparrowHawk HUD. i5 7600K @4.8GHz | 1080 Ti | 32GB 3200MHz | SSD | DCS SETTINGS | "COCKPIT"
Xenovia Posted September 3, 2018 Posted September 3, 2018 Did the F-14D have Fly-By-Wire? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
BlackLion213 Posted September 3, 2018 Posted September 3, 2018 Did the F-14D have Fly-By-Wire? No, but it received the same DFCS upgrade as the rest of the F-14 fleet. DFCS makes quite a big difference in handling: more consistent roll rate, elimination of dutch roll in landing configuration, ARI that eliminates roll reversal and allows pilots to use lateral stick across all AOA and conditions. So it bridges the gap pretty well between FBW and analog flight controls. But all F-14s used the same control system irrespective of model. The only big change was the addition of DFCS which was implemented fleet wide (actually started with the F-14A since if offered bigger safety benefits vs F110 Tomcats). -Nick

Would be cool if Heatblur made the F-14D after the initial F-14A/B :D:D:D [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
sawacs Posted September 3, 2018 Posted September 3, 2018 All kinds of guys wanting the D in here... I spits my coffee all over my monitor...:lol: "When they passed out brains you thought they said trains and you missed both!"
MikeHunt Posted October 11, 2018 Posted October 11, 2018 One thing I don't get with 3rd party developers is they tend to do one variant of a plane and then move on to another plane rather than use existing project to make more variants, I'd happily pay for a Viggen (JA-37), MiG-21-2000 or F-14D etc.
Harley Davidson Posted October 11, 2018 Posted October 11, 2018 What are the chances of Heatblur releasing an F-14D module down the road? Nothing could beat flying the turkey around with a glass cockpit! Are the 31st looking for any more players? Always been a fan of the 31st.
amalahama Posted October 11, 2018 Posted October 11, 2018 I remember Cobra saying that it might happen... I think it makes lot of sense, the D is different enough as to charge as a new module, whilst lot of the art and system modelling would remains virtually identical. It's all down to whether enough info can be collected about the D (which seems quite a challenge)
CarbonFox Posted October 11, 2018 Posted October 11, 2018 The Super Tomcat would be kind of the cherry on top for additional developments. Not sure how much info is out there on the APG-71 or IRST that the D model Cat sported. Another few added benefits would be the JDAM and LINK-16 compatibility. F/A-18C; A-10C; F-14B; Mirage 2000C; A-4E; F-16C; Flaming Cliffs 3

FZG_Immel Posted November 6, 2018 Posted November 6, 2018 We're focused on getting the A & B perfect first; but there's no lack of willpower to continue our Tomcat journey if the product is received well! :) I'd pay another additiional 100€ for a D [sIGPIC]https://forums.eagle.ru/signaturepics/sigpic70550_3.gif[/sIGPIC] Asus Z390-H - SSD M.2 EVO 970 - Intel I9 @5.0ghz - 32gb DDR4 4000 - EVGA 3090 - Cougar FSSB + Virpil WRBRD + Hornet Stick - Thrustmaster TPR Pedal + WinWing MIP + Orion + TO and CO pannels - Track IR5
Pasquale1986 Posted November 6, 2018 Posted November 6, 2018 I'd pay another additiional 100€ for a D +100 (€) Main Module: AH-64D Personal Wishlist: HH-60G, F-117A, B-52H
Gunslinger22 Posted November 6, 2018 Posted November 6, 2018 -1 for the D. "I'm just a dude, playing a dude, disguised as another dude."
Pasquale1986 Posted November 6, 2018 Posted November 6, 2018 -1 for the D. Booooh Main Module: AH-64D Personal Wishlist: HH-60G, F-117A, B-52H
JagHond Posted November 9, 2018 Posted November 9, 2018 +1 here too for the -D version... but about paying an additional fee for it, we're a little strict actually, I'm afraid :lol: With best regards.
okieordie78 Posted November 9, 2018 Posted November 9, 2018 Why the fascination of the F14D? Other than TARPS, what else could it do? I always thought it could carry the AMRAAM, but I was never sure. What difference did it make between the F14B+ and the D? I'm not sure there's that much difference.
domhaus Posted November 9, 2018 Posted November 9, 2018 The F-14D has too much difference from version "B". Essentially a new plane. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
