AH_Solid_Snake Posted May 3, 2021 Posted May 3, 2021 Im not sure if the public roadmap is necessarily all-inclusive but is OBC considered part of feature completing the F-14? 2
sLYFa Posted May 3, 2021 Posted May 3, 2021 IIRC HB stated that they will "eventually" add OBC somewhere down the road but that was a long time ago. I would personally love to see at least OBC class IIA/B and III (thats what is performed during startup). They don't really have to actually "do" anything (i.e. nothing ever fails except you did not turn on the respective system) except for showing the acronyms on the TID and move the ramps. IMO that would be the icing on top of a very complete systems modelling but I can understand how HB may want to spent resources somewhere more important. 1 i5-8600k @4.9Ghz, 2080ti , 32GB@2666Mhz, 512GB SSD
AvroLanc Posted May 4, 2021 Posted May 4, 2021 +1 I'd like to see some of the other missing Master Test switch functionality too: Emergency Gen test Mach Lever Test (F-14A) FLT GP tests Wing sweep Test etc These in the main should just produce a green 'GO' light. Simple and would be nice to have. 2

Overall, are ther still many features missing on the Tomcat or is it mostly complete? I would be interested if I could follow the NATOPS manual procedures and not have to skip stuff or compromise.
TLTeo Posted April 26, 2022 Posted April 26, 2022 I don't know the systems in depth enough to know how they compare with the NATOPS, but the big one that stands out to me there is that not all BITs are done yet. The other missing/WIP features I can think of is that the FM, AIM-54 guidance, and AWG-9 need some tweaks. The TARPS pod is also still missing. 1
sLYFa Posted April 26, 2022 Posted April 26, 2022 You can do the whole RW normal startup and checks except for OBC and emergency generator. You can make pretend an OBC by putting the master test switch in OBC for 1,5min. The pilot doesnt notice much of it anyway except for the ramp lights coming on and going out again. 1 i5-8600k @4.9Ghz, 2080ti , 32GB@2666Mhz, 512GB SSD
AH_Solid_Snake Posted April 26, 2022 Author Posted April 26, 2022 The startup sequence with Jester could use an update for the A though. Im not aware of the TF30 having a secondary mode.

Jamming effects both recieving and emitting probably also need work?

WinOrLose Posted April 27, 2022 Posted April 27, 2022 A lot of them are modelled and if you follow what is modelled the start up will take a good 20 minutes.
