Nice work Sting-Ray, all four of us Tomcat Fans love your work. They would go really well in one of the theatre expansions in work. Cough, cough, Libya, cough, cough.

Cool, Iām all excited to fly an F-14 (Decorated in one of those detailed skins) against a flight of Sukois in the Gulf of Sidra.

Thanks for all the warm words guys! Iāll sure keep you updated on the progressā¦
as far as I can see this is a package for ThirdWireās Strike Fighters 2. Itās funny you posted this as Iāve stumbled across this sim only a couple of days ago not surprisingly because theyāre apparently working on a F-14 sim in the form of a North Atlantic extension of their series which is pretty much the drop dead dream scenario for me personally. They also have some pretty impressive screens out (with a beautiful E-2 and Russian Bear aside the Tomcat) but thereās nothing specific nor a release date yet. Either way that F-14 model is a beauty!!!

Pulled the pre 1996 skins into the PSDs today, almost finished with that. Also put the final touches on a skin I never really finished - a retro design the Tomcatters had on the 101 bird during their last cruise reminiscing the original flying pencilā¦
Felix Rules!

Iām surprised you havenāt heard of them before. They have a very large community of players and a very large data base of mods to the various SF series of simulations over at http://combatace.com
They are very playable and offer something for just about everyone. Certainly not as complex as FF or F4 BMS but a good sim and the user mods are sound. -
āAnytime Baby!ā Damn, sure was a sexy beast.
Too bad the 'cat never had the combat record the Eagle did. Anyone ever hear of Dale āSnortā Snodgrass? Heās the guy they took the now famous picture of doing an insanely close portside knife-edge flyby past a carrier (forget which one). He was a ledgend in the Tomcat community, he used to do flybys alongside the carrier, lower his hook and drag it in the water past the boat!Those were the days fellas.

In the end, the D-model was probably what the āCatā should have always been. New engines, glass cockpit, Link-16, new radar and targeting pod+JDAM. It just cost too much to keep the girl flying.
-
BAH, our Govāt wastes so much money on crap, like $16 muffins, they should have just left them in service because theyāre SEXY.:D

So was the F-106

Ah, our cat was designed for the war that never came (fortunately), they donāt make them like that anymore

thatās it, iām starting to hate the 'cat loversā¦ jeeezz!

The F/A-18 guys are much worse. Then there are the F-111 dudes. I work with one and he swears the old bird can fly circles around the F-15E. I guess it comes down to the fact that all of us are really passionate about our aircraft. You donāt just pilot or maintain it then go home, the plane just becomes part of your life. When itās put out to pasture, you miss it like youāve lost an old friend. Heck, after eleven years of being married to me my wife still canāt understand why I have such a massive CF-18 picture/video collection in the home computer.

i know this has been asked before somewhre but i have a member in the 27th that is friggin tomcat NUTS, is there any way to put the standard viper pit in the cat model to make his silly arse happy?
I would think that if you select a Tom Kitty in the sim it should default to a stock F-16 cockpit.
However, if youāre interested in changing the cockpit, navigate to your art/ckptart folder. Create a folder called āF-14Aā or whatever model F-14 you want. Select whatever jetās cockpit you want and copy the 3dcockpit and 3dbuttons files (or whatever theyāre called) and paste them into your newly created F-14 folder.
If your sim crashes for some reason, delete the F-14 folder.
I did this successfully last night, putting the F-15 cockpit into an F-5N-AGRS folder.
p.s. hot looking skins, man!
