What is that article? Photoshop plus advertising pictures? Is that what is called journalism today?

Even if they were just drawings, or paintings, I'd still find it interesting, and are can be blocked or ignored

You're right, that is interesting. Thank you.

the pictures were done by someone with a tamiya model kit, but the verbiage in the story gives an interesting glimpse into f14 history

I enjoy testing the F16 and F18 and will get the modules soon, but I wondered why they were lacking in the long distance weapons segment after the F14 and the Phoenix.

 

I read this

and read a little bit in the relevant DCS forums.

 

And jumped right into my newly aquired DCS F14. My third attempt at a case 1 recovery ended on the deck ;-). First carrier landing in a sim since 20 years, and first in VR.

 

I am thankfull for this great bird and the opportunity to experience it in VR :-)
