Now me and the madlads in the Mig-21 can get a little closer before we get Phoenix'd back to the viking era!
 
It's a lot of fun! The new sound files are really great. The only thing I took note of was that the engines seem to be not as sensitive to RPM/Air Pressure changes that lead to compressor stalls and flame outs as much as we saw on the Aerosoft F-14A. Not sure if the coding is set in for that yet but it seems that it isn't. I did everything I could to get the engines to stall but they didn't. It does clearly fly like it has far less thrust than the B model which is correct. it flies very well, actually very predictable but still unforgiving to ham-handed flying. Can't wait to see some vintage A model skins for it.
 
Awesome shots Rick! Storm,I'm not noticing much of a change between The A and B model.Of Course this is only doing a handful of traps on The Lincoln....most of my time yesterday was remapping my HOTAS Controls that got totally wiped out by the update.:banghead:
 
You don't need to remap the HOTAS. Just go into your saved games folder and find the CONFIG folder. go to the "F-14B" and rename it "F-14". Done. Old Controls back in business.
 
Man SOH really needs to setup a Discord. I had actually setup a complete Discord for them hoping that they would want use it. Things like this can be easily solved real time.

I was going to try that but my control config got overwritten as well. In game, there is a single F-14 control page, not one for each type. Had I known it was going to be set up like that, I would have backed up my original file.
 
Also looking forward to adding the early A paints in. I think we will see some changes to the engine numbers based on the DCS forums, but if one is comfortable in the B and pays attention it's a non-event. First flight was fine with AAR, formation and some boat action, no issues but then again I had prepared by giving myself engine failures in the B. I felt the Aerosoft engine was slightly on the extreme side of modeled failures, but I got good at air-starts! In a way, the FSX/P3D F-14 is the simulator for "real" jet in DCS.
 
Must say the A model feels a much nicer ride, I found the B to have too much power.

The stock liveries look great always loved the Sundowners livery, this module really is a thing of beauty.

Trouble is takes me away from modelling for P3D again :ernaehrung004:
