F-14 A/B Tomcat (MSFS)

Fly the Iconic F-14 Tomcat!

This DC Designs F-14 Tomcat package for MSFS brings you highly detailed and VR-ready A and B models in a total of seven paint schemes, with front and rear cockpit positions, authentic cockpit night lighting, custom sound sets for both variants and custom-coded manoeuvring flaps, slats and intake ramps.

Among the other features are F-14 Tomcat systems which include Direct Lift Control, CADC and basic ACLS, Head-Up Display, reflective glass, icing and rain effects, numerous accurate animations and user-controlled ordnance via the Payload Manager.

DC Designs are proud to announce the F-14 A/B Tomcat package for Microsoft Flight Simulator, bringing you two highly detailed MSFS models.

Fully Native MSFS Aircraft

• All models have been coded with Microsoft Flight Simulator native 'Model Behaviors' animations and built to MSFS operational specifications to prevent issues with future simulator upgrades.
• All custom cockpit instruments and screens are coded in HTML for native, high-performance display in MSFS
• The Tomcats make use of the new simulator's features such as effects and sounds, fully reflective glass, native aerodynamic sound structures, the new 'Modern' aerodynamics system with the ability to provoke 'departure spins', and customised visibility controls for wheel chocks, covers, tie-down chains and GPU
• The Tomcats also contain custom-built and animated effects such as afterburners
• Full compressor-stall engine modelling and coding for the F-14A TF-30 engines
• Other features include authentic cockpit night lighting with brightness controls, which includes user-operated 'slime lights' for combat operations, and custom-coded manoeuvring flaps, slats and intake ramps, all based on aircraft airspeed and angle of attack
• Numerous external animations including canopy, crew ladders, tail hook and control surfaces
• The F-14 Tomcats are fully compliant with Virtual Reality headsets
• Full custom sound sets for both the TF-30-powered F-14A Tomcat and the GE-F110-powered F-14B Tomcat

Cockpit

• Truly 3D virtual cockpits featuring accurately modelled ejector seats, controls and detailed texturing
• All analogue instruments constructed in 3D with smooth animations
• Reflective rear-view mirrors
• 'Scratched canopy' glass effects, reflective glass, icing and rain effects
• Crew figures in the virtual cockpit are coded to disappear when you occupy their seats
• Front and rear cockpit positions included in both variants
• Fully customisable crew helmets, names, flight suit patches and even faces

Aircraft Systems

• 3D modelled dials, ADI, 'whiskey' compass and other high-detail instruments designed to emulate the appearance of the real F-14 Tomcat
• Display screens with visual layouts based on the real aircraft's systems (within the confines of MSFS' current capability)
• Head-Up Display with authentic layout based on the real F-14A
• Custom-coded, user-controlled ordnance via the simulator Payload Manager, allowing for live mounting of weapons on hardpoints with active weight increase
• F-14 Tomcat systems include Direct Lift Control, CADC and basic ACLS
• The aircraft are compatible with the Hard Deck Simulations Aircraft Carrier Module

Manual

A full operations manual is included in the software and you can also download it here.

DC Designs' F-14 Tomcat is designed to provide a top-quality aircraft that is extremely detailed, yet less demanding to fly than today’s most complex procedural simulators. Equipped with all required avionics, and with custom-coded animations and systems, the DC Designs F-14 Tomcat is designed to be accessible to all users without the need for intense study.

Requirements

Note: Ensure you set the Flight Model option to 'MODERN' in the MSFS Options (OPTIONS > GENERAL > FLIGHT MODEL).
