Antares81 Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 Just a question ? some up-date or improvments are almost ready for Tomcat pack ? I hope so ..... my best regards Quote
Sheriff Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 We produced that series of videos at Northrop Grumman in 2011-2012 time frame. The old video segments describing ACEVAL/AIMVAL are available in a disc from Amazon that also includes ACM and Tomcat videos. Interesting footnote: During F-14D development cycle, Dave Kratz and Jim Baskerville who appear in this series were the test program air crew (Navy Flight Test Manager /Pilot and Grumman Flight Test Conductor) . Those were the days!! 1 Quote
+Stratos Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 The visual ID systems on the Tomcats are the things I miss the most on NA. Hope to see it on DCS Tomcat. Quote
+MigBuster Posted October 22, 2015 Author Posted October 22, 2015 TW gave us some earlier versions without TCS & IRST (Iranian F-14 has none of that either) but you we still got a Data Link and IFF so pretty good overall. Quote
Antares81 Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Don't care guys , DCS Tomcat add-on will be complete of all avionics system ;) The BETA will be ready for december, so remain few time for it. Quote
Caesar Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 I hope so! Cautiously optimistic that the DCS bird will be ready some time within the next few months. Quote

Hello Antares81, I hope so, but why are you so sure ? Because I also was expecting that Aerosoft F-14X was complete of all avionics, and it didn't. For exmple: relating AIM-9 target acquisition modes, it only featured "Boresight" mode, and it's known that the Tomcat also has SEAM mode. Edited October 23, 2015 by Boresight Quote
Antares81 Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 well, you must buy the TACPACK by VRS , so that you can have all avioni complete and use A-A missiles. I hope that for new up-date Tomcat pack will have the L&R consoles in the cockpit, please. Quote

I hope that for new up-date Tomcat pack will have the L&R consoles in the cockpit, please. Yes, and so I did and already used in it's full extent. What I'm saying is, because either: - the AIM-9 L version doesn't have "SEAM" acquisition mode (IIRC is AIM-9 L the one represented in game actually); - the Aerosoft F-14, or the VRS TacPack don't feature the "SEAM" capability either. Anyway, the light is there at the ACM Panel; Nr. 15 " Mode STP (Missile mode selected) ", and the SEAM mode would be a realistic feature to have... bet DCS Leatherneck's F-14 will miss that too. EDIT: The "BRST" light is there but never turn's on, it's always on "NORM" in the Aerosoft F-14X for FSX. On the other hand, on SF2 TMF Tomcats, the BRST light do work.
