schurem Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 seems unlikely, last i read of this thing, there was a whole heap of stuff left to be coded. besides they wont want to coincide their release with the hornet release.

Agree that there is still plenty to be coded and a workload for long months. And yes they don’t want it to coincide with the Hornet launch, but that either won’t be done before long months. Which one will come first will remain a mystery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donut Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 What I want to know is what cataclysmic event occurred and/or which team member suffered serious bodily harm/illness to prevent this from being released this year... 2017. No exceptions. Unless some cataclysmic event occurs, or serious bodily harm/illness to integral F-14 team members. i5 7600K @4.8GHz | 1080 Ti | 32GB 3200MHz | SSD | DCS SETTINGS | "COCKPIT" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess he was too excited about the release that day that he couldn’t control himself and write that. I don’t think anything happened to any in the team but fact is we won’t get it in 2017. We will surely get a great quality module. The missed deadline will be forgiven. At least for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, not a heap of coding left to do. Things are pretty mature and very functional. Fine-tuning and bug squashing remains, but major systems are in place. The F-14 won't be a module released with basic systems. :thumbup: -Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The F-14 won't be a module released with basic systems. :thumbup: -Nick Yeah some guys here didn't read the updates :lol: The main reason for not releasing the F14 in 2017 is the fact that the harrier had to come before and had some delay. I was very confident about the Q4 pre-access. When you see that the harrier's radios don't work and that the F-14 has an AI which bases are coded and with already a lot of functionalities working I wonder why they released the harrier first. I'm not gonna make any assumption now but I'm sure they don't want to release 2 modules with a 2 months interval so a end of Q1 2018 pre access would be a pretty good estimate. Cobra said that they should know more after the release of the harrier so the next dev update has to be a road to release ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kayos Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Hopefully we get an update from Cobra soon then. Disappointed that we won't get the F-14 before the end of the year but I guess we will have to wait : ( If the F-14 had more systems done it should have launched before the Harrier you would have thought.

TomCatMucDe Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 I'd say the closest we're getting is late fall, Q3 or Q4 this year but once again we cannot assume because it may just play out like 2017, which I well hope does not happen. You mean like 2015, 2016 and 2017? Every year was announced to be the release year Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomCatMucDe Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Not by Heatblur, only 2017 and that was because everything was subject to change. Please show me when they announced it for 2015 and 2016. :D opps quoted their post hoping for a 2015 completion. Dig deeper and you will find the 2016. this is not to blame HB, but just to say that any date should not be taken very seriously. Even a 2018 release.

ghostdog688 Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 question: the hornet will eventually get Link 16 DL. now i know the F14A+/B didnt get that (they had Link 4 IIRC). anyone know if Link 16 was backwards compatible? would be cool to see the tomcats passing data to hornets and working together.
