Great job MD44, my niece is learning the F14 module right now and has found your guide invaluable, I find it very useful as well, well done.

Nice guide!

 

Some feedback

Page 40 - the graphic showing 40* is incorrect, the +-20 degree scan is left right, not up down. Elevation Bars indicate height, Azimuth Degrees indicate width of the cone.

Simply super.

 

Thanks so much for this.

 

As someone struggling to get to grips with the Tomcat, and not the time I would like to sit down and digest the full manual from Heat blur then this has been a god send to get me into a position that I can actually start flying with half an idea of what I'm doing.

 

Really great work.

This is one of the most in depth guides Ive seen for the Cat yet.

 

 

It would be nice if the pages could be broken out of the document though. I'd like to put a few of them in my kneeboard. ;)

There are some inaccuracies... (apologies I'm anal) ;) Nice job overall though :) The most glaring one is that you say 90% for takeoff, the takeoff should be performed at MIL power...:

The Takeoff:

 

4. Increase thrust to 90% to begin roll - Correct but then increase to MIL power

6. Pull back on stick 25° until liftoff – don't exceed 10° pitch - not sure where the 25 degrees comes from... NATOPS says "Maintain the control stick at the

trimmed condition during the prerotation ground roll phase

to minimize aircraft drag. After the pre-computed rotation

speed (refer to NAVAIR 01-F14AAP-1.1), smoothly pull the

control stick aft to position the HUD waterline at a 7_ to 10_

pitch attitude until safely airborne"

Guide was added to the DCS Tutorial Collection.

 

Thanks, this is a very well done Guide, that´s why I´ve placed it on that position where I usually place Chuck´s guides on other Modules.

Great work!I have some questions about the chapter on aerial refueling,Data shows that wingsweep does not require a 55 degree setting.

12. Set Wing Sweep Thumb Switch – DOWN (BOMB). A constant
wing sweep of 55 deg will help stabilize the flight of the aircraft.
 
The original text is as follows
6. Wing−sweep switch ---- MAN/wing−sweep angle As Desired.
 
Refueling altitudes and airspeeds are dictated by
receiver and/or tanker characteristics and operational needs,
consistent with the tanker’s performance and refueling capa
bilities. This covers a practical spectrum from the deck to
35,000 feet, 170 to 300 knots, and wing−sweep angles of
20° to 68°. Optimum airspeed and wing−sweep position is
240 knots and approximately 40° wing−sweep. This configu
ration increases aircraft angle of attack enough to lower the
receiver’s vertical tails below the tanker’s jetwash and
decreases bow wave effect. SAS−off tanking can most easily
be performed at 200 KCAS with 40° of wing−sweep.
