• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

You want a download, you GET a download. :wiggle:
Note that these are Scott's textures, converted from DXT5(FSX) to DXT3(FS9) using FSRepaint, so no color shifts or "mashed potato" blurred effects.
I used my own "custom" alpha channels so the bare-metal parts (gun port and wing leading edges) are a little more shiny.
I also included a green-tinted center windscreen and "toned down" anti-collision lights at night.
There's also a better VICTORY call sign. Just import it using EditVoicePack, make sure you DELETE your old VICTORY call sign first.

Pay attention to the README file, these textures replace the 13th aircraft in the IRIS F-14A aircraft.cfg file. I changed the model from a slick nose to one that has the TV camera. You could also change the "model=" line to 3H, VF-84 provided TARPS missions during the Gulf War.

BTW, a while ago someone said the IRIS Tomcat is payware.
It was actually changed back to freeware years ago.

The big difference between the Horten and the Northrop design was that the Horten flying wings has been autostable, and the Northrop deseign needed constant control. At first by the pilot, later electronics contolled the 3 axis.. In a german book Reimar Horten explains very well the aerodynamis of their wings and why they have been autostable.
It must be a wonderfull feeling to soar with a flying wing and to be integrated completly in the wing.
