Here are two screenshots of the F-14D remake I am working on. There is a lot of work to do... but it looks very promising IMHO.
The project scope is a full remake of my existing Tomcat, much like I did last year for the Goshawk.
If I have time I will also build a RIO cockpit.

All I can say Dino is wow! The F-14 at least lives on virtually.

Great work so far Dino, long time user of both FS9 and now FSX models. This one looks "on", as there is something with the length with the current version I can't place my finger on, but continue to fly her around the boat. Long live the Turkey!

Thanks for the appreciation! But don't hold your breath... it will take months to get to the Beta stage...

Months here seem to go by like hours these days It would be interesting having a RIO , CORE BLIMEY ! could you imagine a shared aircraft/cockpit coming on aboard a carrier .

I meant to ask Dino .... will existing repaints work with the new mesh?

@Matt -> No. The 3D model is almost completely new, and so are the textures and their layout - I know backward compatibility would have been great...but this was decided to have an overall better quality, and I believe the current results is already superior to the previous release.

will there be a back seat View?

 

[MDIvey]

Quite understandable Dino... dont worry

will there be a back seat View?

That's what he was talking about when he said RIO pit.

Above are some work in progress screens of the new external model - I still need to add some detail/texture to the tailhook and weapons pylons area, and possibly add some "open-able" maintenance doors....

Thanks Dino, I just reinstalled the last version into FSX after a lost HD. One of my favorite aircraft for sure. Looking forward to the new F-14D. Great work.

Looking forward to this one, the older one gave some great flights!
