F-14E Super Tomcat 21 - LANTIRN system built into front Phoenix Pallets. - APG-71 radar enhanced with air to ground functions from F-15E APG-70. Double the power output and a 20% increase in detection and tracking range. - F110-GE-429 engines. - Compatibility with all USN carrier aviation air-to-ground ordnance as well as AIM-120. - Modified flaps and slats with a 25% increase in lift which, along with the new engines, means a 15% lower landing speed and an extra 7000lb of weapon bring back capability. - Glass cockpit and single piece canopy. - 2000lb more internal fuel in modified solid wing gloves that had a similar profile to the F-14A extending wing gloves and provided the same aerodynamic enhancements. - Existing F-14D would be rebuilt into the F-14E along with some new builds. 1/22 the cost to develop as the new build Super Hornets - The USN went with the Super Hornet instead. http://www.anft.net/f-14/f14-history-f14x.htm https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/29653/this-is-what-grummans-proposed-f-14-super-tomcat-21-would-have-actually-looked-like

Is anyone interested in trying out multiplayer with SFP1/WoX? The last time I did this, a lot of people had just switched to Windows 10 and the SFP1/WoX series ran horrible on it. To top things off, the old Microsoft DirectPlay multiplayer interface used by SFP1/WoX did not work well if at all on Windows 10. Now, many years later, I can get Wings Over Vietnam with the final 2008b patch to run on Windows 10 at Vsync speeds (60 Hz in my case) with maxed out graphics quality on my nVidia control panel and in-game settings. I can also host multiplayer locally. The enb series makes the graphics a lot more stable, but I still have problems with the game frequently crashing to desktop when I end a flight. Though it sometimes lets me get to the menu several times in a row before it starts crashing again. If anyone wants to try this we need two things: 1. An identical stock install of a game patched to the 2008b level or in the case of Wings Over Israel, optionally patched even later by the expansion pack. I personally prefer starting with WoV. It always drew the most players. If everyone involved has WoV and WoE, it is even better to use a merged WoV/WoE install for the expanded stock plane set. But if anyone wants to try this out, I am willing to host whatever install it takes to get people flying. Once you have it working with a stock install, you can experiment with adding mods. But you have to be very careful. The anti-cheat file checker is very temperamental. It has been known to reject totally stock installs for no particular reason and can have an even harder time matching up modded installs. The key is everyone having exactly the same install to avoid file checker problems. 2. A free VPN service to trick the game into seeing a LAN that it can easily handle versus trying to set port forwarding, firewalls, and anti-virus to allow internet communication. Hamachi used to be the go-to tool, but last time around, I discovered Evolve was a much better replacement. Evolve provides a VPN and effectively replaces Hyperlobby as a way of meeting up to start games. Optionally, we could open a Discord channel for meeting or even use Hyperlobby, but you still need a VPN package like Evolve to get reliable connections. Hyperlobby is the optional third thing. Hyperlobby natively supports SFP1 and WoV. The problem is that it is hard to get servers set up to work correctly and for clients to join on Hyperlobby. Internet service providers, routers, firewalls, antivirus, etc. all conspire to block the very basic interface provided by DirectPlay. But traditionally, I start my server on Hyperlobby to attract players then tell them how to connect using a VPN host like Hamachi or Evolve. I think Hyperlobby is largely obsolete. This forum is clearly the place to meet players and once you meet here, you can agree on whatever platform is most acceptable for general communication/starting game sessions.

You should put some girls back there, lol

I recently updated my ACT ToolKit Help Document, with re writes and additional text. It is much easier to read and I've improved the understanding better for Windows 8.1/10 use. After that I did some tests with it to see if performance can be increased in Windows 10 in D3D mode for EAW. (natively, straight with no wrapper program). I have found some Fixes that work to increase speed, but just a bit. ;) This Help Document explains the Microsoft ACT Toolkit and some usage instructions plus my on going testing results. If you like working with the Registry or want to work with Compatibility Toolkit program by testing different settings , This doc is for you! :) Here' s the page from my web site: https://eaw.neocities.org/windows-act-toolkit.html It can get complicated, but if you have questions, please ask them here, and I'll try to answer them. Thanks!

And another one (day of riveting)...

We all need all or some of these enhancements, but no dice. With regards to covid this may delay some but we all have been using distant comuncation and I don't think it's an obstacle. It would have been good for business if he released during lockdown as all people are staying home and would love to have anything to enjoy during the covid crisis.

https://www.lockonfiles.com/forums/topic/39450-madcatzthunderhawkkinneys-combat-pilot-is-dead/ Dear Combat Pilots, It is with heavy hearts that we announce the closure of ThunderHawk Studios and the shutdown of Combat Pilots online servers at the end of November, 2013. Despite our best efforts to create the ultimate multiplayer combat flying experience for the flight sim community, there were simply not enough monthly subscribers to keep the servers open. Effective immediately, all monthly subscribers have free server access for the month of November. The good news is that after November you will still be able to play Combat Pilot as an offline, DRM-free version. Your career information will be stored locally and you can continue to train in flight operations and combat operations. Current members will receive an email with a special code to obtain this offline version of Combat Pilot for free. Expect this email at the end of this month. If you experience any support-related issues, have any billing concerns, or do not receive the aforementioned email, please contact the support team at http://support.combatpilotseries.com/. Please note that if you recently purchased Combat Pilot and still have a free month or two of online access owed to you, we will reimburse this at a rate of $11.99 per month. We will keep the support team active for 60 days in order to assist all pilots. Support will cease operations on January 31, 2014. We want to extend our thanks to our partners at A2A, Razbam, IRIS, Just Flight, Aerosoft, and numerous others, for their support in creating Combat Pilot. We especially would like to thank the faithful Combat Pilot community who joined this sortie with us. We hope to see you in the skies again someday! Sincerely, The ThunderHawk Team
