Made me triple check what I thought too haha, this might be the most anticipated module yet!
Yet? Try EVER. :mixed-smiley-010::pop4:. Although I suspect the Viper will be more anticipated. Might be the most anticipated ever...lol
I long for an F-111 module....
But it seems the consensus is that the F-16 is popular - trouble is, its been done before! One of the reasons I love the Viggen over the Hornet is because it's a great aircraft and not run of the mill.
Tomcat will be good, but there needs to be a decent high fidelity 'red' aircraft to counter it....
And now, ze book of Tomcat!

Manual release, online only, live document, still WIP etc. etc. MUST READ NOW!
I never put my hardcopy NATOPS away while flying the FSX/P3D Aerosoft Cat, much like the VRS did for the Hornet, at least the cockpit looks familiar although the radar fine turning will be left to Jester or some crazy bastard online in MP.

***F-14 STATUS UPDATE***
"Hi Everyone,
End of winter is rapidly approaching - and we’re proud to say that we’re now feature complete and in RC-type build status. What that means is that we’ve completed implementation of everything that we consider necessary for early access release, and are now focused on ironing out any remaining major or game breaking issues. We’ve launched the manual to great feedback (thanks to everyone who helped out and who has reported issues since!) and the only remaining step for us now is to get the aircraft in your hands.
Over the past two weekends, we’ve ran two large stress tests with 30+ Tomcats on a single server. These have allowed us to debug various issues across a more dense multiplayer environment. The expansion of the testing team to include many more people has also been very helpful in establishing what needs revision and work.
We’re eager to share with you the launch day of the F-14, pending ED’s final approval. We hope this will happen within the next few days.
Also in the coming days, we’ll be going through what to expect from the F-14 Early Access, what our roadmap is for it’s final release (-A, Campaigns, other missing features, etc.) and projected timescales. Hopefully these will give you a good idea of what you’ll be flying on day one, as well as what the future holds for our F-14 project. The F-14 won’t be perfect when we launch, but we intend to show you just how committed we are to quality and our product in the days following release. Expect to be impressed.
More than anything, thank you for your support. It’s what keeps us going on long, dark, coffee-fueled nights. We’re looking forward to breathing a little post launch and as we settle into our Tomcat journey together.
Sincerely,
Team Heatblur
