Predator-78 Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 I agree, now with the release of the F-4 there could be some long awaited improvements to the TomCat. Finally, maybe also adjust the texture of the pilot.

scommander2 Posted May 29 Author Share Posted May 29 Hi @IronMike, 1. first of all, congrats the F-4E success delivery. I have played it and I like the lots of new designs that HB has implemented. 2. I believe that F-14AB is the golden masterpiece in one of the HB products and I think that many users would like to see it shines as F-4E. Is it possible kindly to review our list (above) and let us know that HB has any planning to make us surprises in the future ED releases? Thanks a lots!! 1 Dell XPS 9730, i9-13900H, DDR5 64GB, Discrete GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080, 1+2TB M.2 SSD | TM HOTAS Warthog/TPR | TKIR5/TrackClipPro | Total Controls Multi-Function Button Box | Win 11 Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomHans Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 F-14B/U with sparrowhawk HUD? Even if released as a paid module 'add on'? Have you tried paying Razbam? It's starting to look like NOT paying Razbam isn't working too good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scommander2 Posted June 3 Author Share Posted June 3 (edited) Per @PhantomHans comment, I am still thinking our list may be going to be an "add-on" upgrade since HB developers need the funding to work on them because nothing is free.

I guess I'm willing to pay if they're willing to do the work. I'm not willing to pay $69.99 for a copy of the existing B with a new HUD but if they're willing to do the work I could see $10.99 or something. 2 Have you tried paying Razbam?

Cab Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 47 minutes ago, draconus said: Why do you think non-existent switch is important as command? Which flaps btw? I'll go out on a limb and assume he's asking for a single 2-way switch binding in addition to the current individual up and down bindings for the landing flaps. Doesn't seem that unreasonable, if that's the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
