** DCS: F-14 Development Update - September!! **

[pimp]

Only a year late.

 

Yeah, but you got to love Cobra's Elon Musk aggressiveness.:) I think he and ED realized how big of a module this will be and came up with a better release plan for it. Which gave HB more time to add more details. I can't see any module being bigger than this one.

 

EDIT: Except for the F-16 :)

Love both of these birds.

 

 

Will be grabbing them both especially if there's multi crew option.

 

 

A-6 is one of my favorite planes

[Scrape]

I'm confident that everyone will be satisfied with the result and agree it was worth the wait. Relax and enjoy the ride fellas.

Then maybe you have also missed this trailer, because it shows the date at the end:

I don't know about you guys but Im looking forward to the Meteor soundtrack almost as much as Im looking forward to the F14. That guy has some serious musical chops. :)

Nah

 

Just some great stuff to put onto our virtual tapes for the Viggen

 

And always remember...

 

 

I too don't wanna wait until Winter Wrap Up though, but when they say that winter is in the claws of the cat, I assume that we'll have her by the time winter will have come and not when it's over

Waiting is always tough, but good developers know, "A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad."

When will the Brony spam stop?

[Banzaiib]

When will the Brony spam stop?

 

Awwww relax... he's not really spammin' it.

 

I 100% don't get the brony thing. I kind of think it's a bit weird, but he's not spamming it... just lovin those ponies... out loud, and proud!

 

You do you, Eldur!

 

3 more days guys! :joystick:

I know...had enough of that garbage on WoT!

[Reflected]

DAAAMN! I couldn't believe my eyes! Hornets, Hornets, Ho...wait....thant's a freakin' Tomcat!! :O

 

Interesting how much more wobbly the F-14 is, most of us will sweat a lot to bring her down on the ship.

There is a good reason the unofficial nickname for the Tomcat was the turkey...

 

If you've ever seen a turkey fly..and then compare it to the Tomcat behind the boat..it'll make sense

[waow]

[Home Fries]

The Tomcat has a pronounced Dutch roll. Combine that with the huge moment arm created by the wings swept forward, and you have your wobble. I wasn't a Tomcat guy, but have plenty of friends who are and could talk all day about the challenge of recovering the Tomcat on the boat. They would openly mock the "easy" time the Hornet drivers had doing Case I recoveries.

 

BTW, the A-6 has the same airfoil as the F-14, and is also a renowned challenge to recover. Like a Tomcat, but with older turbojet engines and no HUD.

While the countdown page is still up, have to admit I'm kind of confused by their slogan there - "Welcome back, baby". I get that it refers to "Anytime, baby" slogan, but Tomcat was not the "baby" there (IIRC, it was a response to a challenge to duel with the USAF F-15's).

 

So, shouldn't it be in the form of "I'm back, baby" or "Guess who's back, baby" or "Guess who's coming to dinner, baby"?

Isn't that the plane talking? So it's not the plane being welcomed back, it's welcoming us back to it and we're the 'baby'... oh God, now I'm having flashbacks to my ex's bachelor of arts lectures...

I guess it's the F-14 community talking (as - hate to break it to you like this - planes don't actually talk ;) ), but I see your point.

 

Still rubs me the wrong way if it is indeed so. They could have come up with something better, IMHO, given how much effort they put in these sideshows.

Pfft, you sound like my therapist :P

 

Seriously though, I do see your point - fingers crossed that's the worst thing about this module, yeah?
