BlackLion213 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 (edited) We won't be limiting ourselves in terms of liveries based on the released block era, even if that particular livery would not have been used on a later -A. That sounds great, the Tomcat wore a lot of interesting schemes. That said, I hope that you include one or two "regular" TPS schemes from the mid-late 1980s (no shark mouths or sashes) - the kind of grey Tomcat that we probably would have found ourselves flying if given the opportunity back then. Maybe one of the squadrons that directly assisted with the filming of Top Gun (for the anniversary :)) - VF-114, VF-213, VF-51, and VF-111 (no shark mouths at the time). All part of the suspension of disbelief...:D -Nick Edited May 7, 2015 by BlackLion213 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grim_Smiles Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Nice update Cobra, really looking forward to this bird. And I second the idea of 3D printing that pilot figure to sell. They've been annoyingly coy about that actually, though at least we now know it's less that they're just trolling us and more because they haven't finished deciding. I don't think they are trying to be coy about it or troll us (well okay it is Cobra, maybe a little trolling us). If Cobra says a certain system will be on the F-14 too early and that ends up changing later on due to a lack of data, there are people here who are going to bash Cobra and LN non-stop for it. I'm sure LN wants to be absolutely sure what they will be modeling before they confirm anything on the forum, you only have to see how some people react to a late update to understand why: "Hurled headlong flaming from the ethereal sky; With hideous ruin and combustion down; To bottomless perdition, there to dwell; In adamantine chains and penal fire" (RIG info is outdated, will update at some point) i5 @3.7GHz (OC to 4.1), 16GB DDR3, Nvidia GTX 970 4GB, TrackIR 5 & TrackClip Pro, TM Warthog HOTAS, VKB T-Rudder Mk.IV, Razer Blackshark Headset, Obutto Ozone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaelu Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Prediction: this is going to be amazing! As for the campaign location, sounds like north Atlantic. GIUK-gap possibly? Maybe North Pacific? Lots of islands not much cities to model, Russia on one side US Alaska on the other... We have plans for these models beyond the standard in-cockpit / external pilots you are currently used to; features that will hopefully significantly improve immersion. You should expect this particular model to look practically identical in-game, as most of the detail will be baked down into normal and diffuse maps. We might walk to a bar with those models?

Fun for a while, but then it starts getting teeth grindingly annoying when it's a month and a half after the expected announcement of what all the cryptic responses were for and you still don't get any information. I'll cut slack on the timing because of all the stuff that's come LNs way this past few weeks, but if there hadn't been detailed information and no post saying they hadn't decided specifically what would have been modeled, then you wouldn't be able to tell people not to be miffed about it.

I doubt that the statement meant the system is shared with both aircraft. My understanding is that, having already worked on a similar system for annother aircraft will allow them to use the experience and possibly bits of code for the F-14 INS (because, an INS is still an INS, even though there are différences between models). You must note that the MiG-21bis does not have any system like that, so it's new for them. Same goes for the HUD.

Slipp Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Did mid 90's B have LGB's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vampyre Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Did mid 90's B have LGB's? Depends on the year. LANTIRN was first integrated (in testing) in 1995. The fleet got the pods in 1996. Of course the fleet Tomcats could carry LGB's but could not self designate them before 1996 due to not having LANTIRN. They used buddy lasing from other platforms before LANTIRN integration. Truly superior pilots are those that use their superior judgment to avoid those situations where they might have to use their superior skills.

Kroll Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 yeah, glove vanes needed, a must have ! ! ! at least as a visual option http://www.airliners.net/photo/USA---Navy/Grumman-F-14A-Tomcat/2600398/L/&sid=e5c67b2e4f277f8d834399be3680d13c I love this scheme! It is one of the harder schemes for me to find. I have all four views of this bird thanks to Frank Mirande . This is one of a few schemes made by C. J. Heatly. The bottom and top paint job is a mirror of each other. I have all the details of this one and one of his other schemes too. Hopefully, we can get them both made b4 release. Some of the cooler Tomcat schemes out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frisco1522 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 When damaged is there a possibility that, due to a hydraulic failure for example, the wings could become fixed mid flight or end up being asymmetrical? This would be a cool feature to have to deal with in-game.
