Grumman F-14D Tomcat for FSX(A) v2.0 released

[dougal]

I should have downloaded it when first seeing Dino's post. Too many folks downloading from Google, I can't get it!!

NC

You're not alone. I've been trying since release and still cant get it:-(

Many thanks Dino, a true labour of love, and a pleasure to fly.

I am uploading at avism and flightsim as I write - sorry for the bandwidth restrictions but I wanted to make sure it worked before sharing it with a wider audience!

If you would like a mirror until the file hits the main forums, I can upload to my site and give a link for a day or two.

Kind of my way of say, Thanks! :salute:

[Dino Cattaneo]

Thanks, but the file will be soon up at avsim (they are quite quick to put it online - usually takes less than 24 hours)... by the way, FTP to flightsim failed...I am having several issues uploading at flightsim lately, so for the moment the file will be only available at avsim.

[Montie]

Thanks Dino, I got a day off tomorrow and guess what I will be doing:salute:

It is now ready at Avsim: http://library.avsim.net/search.php?...root&Go=Search

Thanks for another great release!

Got it!!! Got the JSF too. Thank you, Dino, for this wonderful wonderful day. My desktop has trouble downloading from your site via Google, but my laptop has no problem. Strange.

This baby brought me out of the woodwork!

Love it Dino (and all those who were involved)! You did this beautiful aircraft justice, as usual. AMAZING! :salute: I can smell the jet exaust once again. A little bit of photoshop enhancement here and there:

Of course, this Tomcat is my favorite. One thing, I like AutoSweep for the wings. I have clicked the switch on the throttle and cannot get autosweep to work. Manual is fine.

If you like AutoSweep, do NOT click the switch on the throttle.
After loading the aircraft, Autosweep is ON by default. Clicking the switch on the throttle sets it to Manual, v.v.

Note: if Autosweep doesn't seem to work, and you haven't clicked the VC Throttle switch after loading, make sure you have raised the Flaps (Default: F5). When flaps are not fully up, Autosweep doesn't work.
See README in the package.

Great repaints of your, sir. Thanks you very much if you're going to have any more repaints in the future, would you paint these for us all, sir?...

VF-103 never had D models...so a repaint would be a WHAT IF type.

[cortomalteseit]

Grazie mille, Dino!
It's a fantastic aircraft, you've made another unbeliavable job!
Ciao!

P.s.: @piperarcherpilot, I'm breathless, great shots!

:salute:

[Dimus]

We flew this baby in multiplayer last evening with 4 friends and it performed flawlessly. The radar also worked and we could detect each other. Excellent work Dino! A very generous offer of an obvious labour of love.

[DaveQ]

This is a great piece of freeware; many many thanks Dino! I'm relatively new to your F-14's; I take it there are no weapons load-outs, is that correct? And is there a layered paint kit that can be had anywhere?

Thanks once again, really enjoying flying the Tomcat!!

A very nice addon! Great modelling, great paints and great programming. I enjoy it a lot ;-)

I second the request for a VF-11 last cruise Red Ripper. High vis and line would be great!

I was operating IAW the manual, no go. So I reloaded the plane and now works fine. Thanks for advice.

[Dino Cattaneo]

On behalf of Jiri Soukup (who did the VF-2 and VF-31 repaints) - and the rest of the team - I would like to thank you all for your appreciation.

Jiri, who can not register at SOH at the moment, would like to thank you for your appreciation and especially piperarchepilot for the great screenshots (a personal note - F-14B and D do not use afterburners on take off and cat launches)... by the way he will be doing a Jolly Rogers repaint (fictional - although I suggested to paint 1064604 which was painted in VF-103 colors after its retirement...

[airattackimages]

Yes thank you to all who painted, these textures are awesome. I especially love Gunfighter 160. Speaking of which, a second VF-101 ship would be great... How about 163 or 164?



Add that to my request for a late VF-11 Red Rippers paint. CAG and line would be nice

[Navy Chief]

although I suggested to paint 1064604 which was painted in VF-103 colors after its retirement...

Out of pure curiousity, is that BUNO 1064604 correct? I tried to find references to it, but could not find. Thanks! NC

[Dino Cattaneo]

Typo, sorry... there is a 0 in excess: 164604

http://www.airliners.net/photo/USA--...5f585facac9775

Of course it was painted in this livery only after the retirement, and seems that this specific bird has been repainted in several other liveries (Puking Dogs, Fighting Checkmates and Tomcatters)...

[Victory103]

Spent most of it's time prior to pulling gate guard as Vandy 1, the VX-9 all black jet, next to VF-84/103, one of the coolest schemes for any Tomcat!
