Great review as always. This bird now sets the bar for military jets in this sim and I hope we see all their planes ported over. The low price is just ridiculous as well especially with the Heatblur discount if you own the DCS version. Throwing in the carriers just makes it a no brainer and I hope they sell a ton of these.
Thanks for a great video. I just purchased this and have a lot of real world experience with the Tomcat. I haven't had time to really ring this addon out, but the limited time I've spent with it has been fun. Do you follow Ward Carroll's channel? Retired Tomcat RIO and Naval Academy grad. He has a DCS rig and had a former Tomcat pilot and Top Gun instructor fly the DCS Tomcat. That was a great video. Again, great video and thanks for the best Tomcat "first Look" video I've seen yet. Finally, the fact you chose the Saratoga was awesome. I was stationed on her in the mid 80's, with her deck full of Tomcat's, A7's, A3's, S3's and the like. Great times.
Amazing video for an amazing piece of development. Wow! It's stunning. My only gripe and it's small is the mirrors. I hope they get re worked later in future updates. Great video Mr B
Can I ask one more question, since you are familiar quite well with DCS- I have DCS 2.9 single player and in the options menu, I DO NOT have i.e. the F-16-C-SIM, I only have the F-16C without "SIM"- why is that? Thanks for your time!
I got a feeling DC Designs is going to come up with a massive update for their f14. I just can't justify paying for another f14 when I have 3 already. They have done a great job, shame it wasn't for a plane that we didn't have 4 of already. (3 DC's and the Super Tomcat)
Yeah I got their Tomcat too. Very nice models... But not detail as the Heatblue one. I really hope they are going to update it bc I don't wan't to play a other one either.
It will never be like this one. They admit on their Discord they cater to the casual crowd. This plane has been in development for years in DCS and was ported over. That’s the problem with devs rushing to be first to market with sexy teen birds and they saturate the market. It hurts the sim overall. You can’t compare this to a version pumped out over a handful of months. The other one doesn’t even look real inside. They cater to the Xbox crowd for high volume sales and make no bones about it. You aren’t even allowed to mention this F14 on their Discord..lol.
Man, such a gorgeous bird. I'm not quite as over the Top Gun stuff, but I've always liked injecting just a bit of fantasy into stuff that was meant to be realistic.
1. how did you get all the weaponds. 2. me carriers are broken... when i spawn on it my flaps are going crazy and the airbreake/spoiler are extended and i cant disable it... sorry if i had bad spelling...
from my experience with HB's F-14 in DCS, shaking is a sign that something is really wrong, or you're pushing the airframe to it's limits (user feedback for "push it further and you'll rip your wings off" sort of thing). Can't speak for MSFS though.
what is even the point of putting combat aircraft in MSFS, there's no combat. The entire reason I play DCS is BECAUSE we get to use the weapon systems.... flying A to B in straight lines for hours on end just doesn't do it for me boys, sorry.
Landed about 180kts airspeed and stopped in about 500ft. That's realistic???? This is an arcade game rendition of the REAL F14 for DCS simulation, also by Heatblur. Kinda bummed HB decided to release this crap as a cashgrab from the Microsoft gaming crowd.
this is becoming one of my usual channels. no fluff no hype no nonsense no script. just facts real time

How do u get the Discount if u own the F-14 in DCS already?
@@ranmakb I think instructions on Heatblurs website but there was talk of an email to owners.
That glitch that you had @30:25 is an issue with the Lakenheath scenery. Mine does it too. Thanks for the video Boresight!

Mirrors are correct size.
Isnt there a landing mode for the hud? i think the selector is near right knee.
Hello, thanks for the video! Where are you taking off from "RF-Lake"- does Airport come with the F-14? Thanks!
That is a separate payware RAF Lakenheath, 100% recommend, it is fantastic. Not related to the F-14 package. Thanks for watching and the kind words.
Thanks for the quick reply and I will have a look at RAF Lakenheath- fly safe and have a good day!

@@efrenreyes-c3y Do you mean in the control setup menu? I don't have an F-16-C-SIM, only an F-16C
Yes correct, in the controls menu- I saw it in other tutorials, that they use the "F-16C Sim". Thank you!

@@johnwicks4936 cool. I'll check discord. But that statement is shitty. Where do I find the discord info
Dc f14 is shit😂 this is the best tomcat in msfs
@@jordanstrahan4307 really. Have you done a better one? Tool

But... Does this aircraft utilize Jester's most important feature:
His tendency to eject when things look even REMOTELY scary?
He absolutely will do that. Especially when I invert over mountains. He just freaks out and ejects.

Hello is there a way to have the pilot model show? Or is it just the rio? Thanks!
Does Market place have carriers...guessing no weapons. Where is best to get it. I like Market place as all in one place.
Great review by the way
Thanks a lot, great review 👍Funny wise the F-14 does not show up in my MSFS Aircraft pulldown menu I bought it on SimMarket don't get it.😟
1. how did you get all the weaponds. 2. me carriers are broken... when i spawn on it my flaps are going crazy and the airbreake/spoiler are extended and i cant disable it...
sorry if i had bad spelling...
This pack gives you a aircraft carrier ??
You should test the A out too with the compressor stall
how did you get jesters voice Louder can barely hear him on my sim ? is it a setting ?
Hello, where do you set the "nose wheel control". This is a good Video.
Like in the f18 a red button on the stick.
@rheopr Thanks for the Info.😊👍
Fyi. play at 1.25. Trust me.
I felt the urge to grab a rag to clean the screens. Were those planes really that filthy?
Is there any way to fix the shaking of the aircraft?
from my experience with HB's F-14 in DCS, shaking is a sign that something is really wrong, or you're pushing the airframe to it's limits (user feedback for "push it further and you'll rip your wings off" sort of thing). Can't speak for MSFS though.
Obviously it's awesome... BUT I will never fly it, purchase it or look at it... I have DCS for these types of machines... MSFS is for something else.
not strickly multi crew multi crew by jester yes bit not human
what is even the point of putting combat aircraft in MSFS, there's no combat. The entire reason I play DCS is BECAUSE we get to use the weapon systems.... flying A to B in straight lines for hours on end just doesn't do it for me boys, sorry.
everywhere there is stutter, even MSFS
