Dino Cattaneo's F-14D beta released

I have Kapersky, and it tells me if it's blocking something, and in this case it's not blocking anything. Thanks for trying to help :)

pilot MFD's light up and have some functionality here - RIO scope is also lighting up and has the range selector functioning


I would like to be able to work the speed brake incrementally however - like the T-45
The Tomcat is either full open or full closed


GREAT LOOKING MODEL - and the FDE seems pretty good - only a short test so far...

Dino - your virtual cockpits all have a certain extreme high quality - more real than virtual than most payware brands...you should be getting paid for this kind of talent and time -
but I really appreciate that you provide these works of art for the community gratis

If this plane is a beta and will only get better over time, then we who love the Tomcat are extremely lucky for sure

heywooood is on the money.....very nice to have a new kitty onboard! Thanks much Dino!

Yes, this is exactly what I've been getting every time I try, and everytime I click "download anyway"... it won't DL for me.
 
I did notice that the ladnding weight fuel and payload I used (49.7) gave a GG of 0.44% MAC (right at the front of the MAC). For this general type of wing section a useable CG range might run something like 18-35%.

Cheers: T

Still an issue... and I am using Chrome.
 
Cat launch from Enterprise works very well, but visual on launch bar has the bar a bit short?

Yep I clicked on it... just flashes back to the same page. Thus the colored link in the pic.... maybe just too busy... will wait awhile


Shrewd releasing it during Super Bowl.... tons of traffic anyways. :icon_lol:
 
The link works fine on my end. Download troubles are between the chair and the router.

Thanks Dino!

Seemed to stop rather quickly, but maybe that was because of the pitching deck...
 
Thanks Dino, I know its in beta stage, but love it already:jump:

I have a shadow issue on the wings, but I have shadow issues with the VRS Superbug and some Carenado as well, so maybe that is on my end?

Not having the NATOPS for this so don't know if it is slow or not but only getting M 1.82 at FL300. Am able to overspeed at Sl. Tactical acft usually, but not always thrust limited at low alt. I know FS throws a few wrenches at very high speed aircraft!

Engine Inlet Temp as read on the cockpit gauge is currently SAT, or Static Air Temperature, which is what you would measure at a weather station at the site. Since you are moving rapidly, frictional and compressional heating restults in a warmer value which in the cruise I am in at the moment at 27,000 ft at M 0.78 is -10C. This value is referenced as TAT or Total Air Temperature. The SAT is currently -39C! The inlet temperature should reference the TAT value of -10C.

A lot of high performance aircraft aren't thrust limited at low altitude, their q limited. Of course, that partly depends on loadout. But in a clean relatively clean/a2a configuration, they're definitely q limited.
