Would it be possible to have this for Dino's F14? When I was a kid (well I'm still a kid I spose ahaha) I made a model airplane, 1:48 scale of this exact paint, I did a pretty good job (now I spose I need a pic to post) and I would love to fly it in FSX :wiggle:

That's a pretty one, I'll vote for it, too.

I'll make that my next repaint

It is nice to see that there are more repaints incoming :-) !

Still, just for the sake of being picky on historical accuracy, I am pretty sure the F-14D never had that color scheme...

By the way "historical accuracy" is the reason why there is not a Jolly Rogers paint for F-14D... The only skull & crossbones F-14D I know of is a Oceana gate guardian who has been given (temporarily) VFA-103 (yes VFA) colors:

In fact, F-14d recycled as gate guardians have received some flashy schemes they never used to have when they were flying...

Dino I just sent you some lighter engine textures if you would like to use them

Well, darn it, if the Navy can get away with it on their gate guardians, then I'm all for it here in fantasy land.

I wish I had the time to make an F-14B...it would not be a huge job (20-30 hours or so)...

Your time would be better served doing something else, er, like making a different beautifull model. hehe.

How hard would it be to incorporate a sonic boom to this F-14?
I sent the author (dino) email but no response....yet.....:gameon:

@tipton

sorry for having not replied to your email. I receive several emails a day for the Tomcat and I try to reply at each one...but sometimes I do not score 100/100... Sonic boom is certainly doable, as it is possible to attach a visual effect. Both can be achieved by an XML gauge in the panel .cfg (which I tned to avoid - but that is more a "philosophical attitude")...
But honestly, it is not an high priority for me.

....and, well, no Jaguars on my horizon. :-)
