I’ll check tonight.
Do you swear that you’ll check…? Can you give your word in blood and sacrifice your first-born upon the altar of an obsolete piece of software…?
Well - DO YOU…?! CAN YOU…???
Or not.

I was playing with the idea of incorporating the glove vanes into an FM, but i’m not exactly sure how to go about it. It seams to me like they would actually work better as some sort of trim adjustment then a change in the aero-properties of the AC.

I have no idea whatever about FMs but I’m thinking that as the glovebox itself is a ‘liftbody’ don’t the vanes manipulate the airflow and subsequent lift of the glovebox?
If so I think it would be extremely difficult to get the effect right? Alternatively just tell the FM to move the center of gravity back when they are deployed :D.

Quick FYI, F-14Bs didn’t ever have glove vanes IIRC. They were removed from the conversions and never installed on the new builds.

Yepp, I got it and it´s by far the best F-14 sim out there (yet). If it just wasn´t for FSX… some of you may also consider to take a glimps at Stright Fighters2 (there´s an excellent Tomcat mod)

Yea MS ruins it. Its like a racing simulator in which youre not allowed to rev above 5000rpm. SF2NA by Third Wire has a nice Tomcat Model and a lot of beautiful skin work but to stick to the racing analogy it’s like Forza, trying ng hard but not quite getting it right. Still too much arcadeish gameplay. I’m afraid we’ll have to do it in Falcon. Best carrier ops SIM to date is still Jane’s F/A-18…
But yea that Airsoft thing has beautiful sounds and high immersion

By ‘new builts’ you’re referring to B and D models built after Grumman received the upgrade contract in '87 right?

So rFactor2 == Falcon BMS for you, too?

Yes the from the factory F-14A+s had no glove vanes and rebuilds had them removed. The F-14As had them locked in for maintenance reasons for a time as I recall. I think you told me the exact time period.

Is there a F-14 pit for download?

Yes, but I cant post the link here because the Author got banned by posting one ilegal M1A1 mod.

There’s an F-14D pit being worked on that’s all original.

So, then… a further upcoming decline in the Mod Forum is pending…?
The F-14 has caused more casualties on these boards than it has in actual SERVICE.
Hee hee…
