Caesar Posted July 1, 2010 Posted July 1, 2010 A little question? What does the VDI do? Whats it for? To add on to what USAFMTL's explanation (ILS/TCS); Another function of the VDI is that it displays targeting data to the pilot when the RIO has a target locked up in Single Target Track mode, displaying the radar range selected, weapon selected, the target's orientation vertically to the F-14, an ASE circle, and the target's range on a solid scale as well as a Break-X when the target falls inside minimum range of the selected weapon; but if you're that close, you'd best not be looking down at the VDI for target info!. Pics/functionality is found in the 01-F14AAA-1 (F-14A) or AAP-1 (F-14B) manual. In the new release, all 3 of these modes are at least partially modeled (TCS, as has been stated, is a forward camera, but both ILS and most of the targeting nomenclature is there). I friggin' love this mod. Quote
SkyStrike Posted July 15, 2010 Posted July 15, 2010 Thanks for these Great aircraft.. Two questions though... Is there going to be a new F-14D or do we have to settle with Ravenclaw007's mod on this one? I couldn't find these on the column5 site... Quote
+Dave Posted July 15, 2010 Posted July 15, 2010 We have an F-14D but no pit for it as of yet. Might be awhile. Quote
Guest cyberspy Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 Looks as good as a centerfold. Flies like a dream. Fights like a demon. Great airplane! Outstanding work. Quote
Shin_kazama Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 Everytime i fly the Cat off anywhere, i ended up with a MiG-(or Sukhoi) free airspace. guess when i take off in one, somehow the Sovs ground any air activity joke hehehe. carrier traps in WOV? a dream A2A kills? boring, some Soviets dont even want to be in a 20 mile radius of a tomcat. sad, the real thing's retired.
