Dino's Cat is out!!

I had the good fortune of getting one backseat ride in a Tomcat at Pax River in the early 70s. It was a ride to remember, to say the least. Unbelievable power.

I am uploading version 0.94 right now... As I said I will not be able to work on the Tomcat for a little while.

Proof I did my homework...

Apart from the tails, I made the fins look sharper (they are not correct yet - but this is kind of a quick-fix) and reduced the roll rate (and slightly also the elevator effectiveness for the sake of having "balanced" controls).

...and this is the 4th update in less than 48 hours.... what is the world record? Should not be far from this! One or two major mistakes in the 0.94 and I will give a call to Guinness guys.
 
wow nice this is goto be fun my first real flightsim was the topgun game for dos so i am goto having some fun with this plane! yahoo! :ernae:
 
It a pleasure to have such a capable and confident developer amongs us, one who is able to take advantage of many resources. Because it doesn't have to be perfect out of the chute, freeware is a much nicer environment to work in.

Thanks to Dino for the great plane and all the other that are continuing to contribute resources.

Cheers: T.
 
My humble cat launch from the Nimitz. Thanks Dino for the great addition. What a pair, the F-14 and the U.S.S. Nimitz.

Hi

Just a small thing. I normally look over my shoulder (Track4Pro) while flying and now the afterburner is showing though the "skin" of the plane. Also saw this from the outside view from certain angles. Build 0.94

Thanks

Ben
 
can we just download the latest update without missing anything that has been corrected in earlier updates or do I need them all?
 
I thought about monkeying around with it, Bjoern, but I figured I'd better just wait and install Acceleration.. BTW: Beautiful paint, Bob!:medals:
 
In the latest build .94 the formation lights at the tip of both vertical stablizers and tip of tail red and green lights stand away from the aircraft. This is the only thing noticed that is a problem. Great work again Dino.
 
Beautiful Bob!!! Thanks very much!!!:medals:
Great trap Diego!!!
Ditto!
And many thanks to Dino for his hard work! :medals:
For the A2A lights users:
light.3 = 5, -14.9, -0.2, -1.6, fx_shockwave_landing_light_narrow_no_flare

And i think i corrected the smoke, but i'm not really sure about the first 2 smoke entries (fx_F14_ControlledHeat). It seems to work always and i can't change the position, but i'm not really sure.

[SMOKESYSTEM]
smoke.0=-55.1, -4.2, -0.7, fx_F14_ControlledHeat , // Eng2 heat, when throttle > 10%
smoke.1=-55.1, 5.1, -0.7, fx_F14_ControlledHeat , // Eng1 heat, when throttle > 10%
smoke.2=-55.1, -4.2, -0.7, fx_smoke_f6
smoke.3=-55.1, 5.1, -0.7 , fx_smoke_f6
