yes! http://en.shop.aerosoft.com/eshop.php?action=article_detail&s_supplier_aid=12805&s_design=DEFAULT&shopfilter_category=Flight%20Simulation&s_language=english

 

Product description:

The Grumman F-14 Tomcat is a supersonic, twin-engine, two-seat, variable-sweep wing fighter aircraft build for the US Navy as a high-endurance interceptor to protect the carriers.

 

It’s a large aircraft characteristic looks (best known for the variable geometric wings) and the twin tail fins. It saw combat in every conflict the US was involved with between 1972 and 2006 and proved to be successful in nearly every engagement.
This FSX/P3D version is created by a group of enthusiasts who spend over two year programming the systems in this complex aircraft. The resulting aircraft is one for the advanced flight simulator enthusiast who enjoys managing systems and equipment in a high speed aircraft. Not for the faint hearted!

Features:

  • A and B models included with many liveries
  • High fidelity Visual Systems like collimated HUD, VDI, HIS and Data Display
  • High fidelity Flight Systems like Wing Sweep Controller, Glove Vanes and Auto Throttle
  • High fidelity Auto Flight Systems like Stability Augmentation System, Auto Pilot and Auto Land (on carrier!)
  • Very accurate flight models, thoroughly tested by retried Fleet Tomcat pilots
  • Semi-automated checklist to assist the novice pilot
  • Fully functioning radar and targeting system
  • Payloads can be loaded and jettisoned dynamically in simulator
  • Includes highly detailed USS Kitty Hawk CV-63
  • Dual cockpit (front and back seat) compatible
  • Compressor Stalls: Poor management of the aircraft will result in random compressor stalls which can induce a dreaded flat spin. Stall algorithm is random; stalls will onset, clearing, and engine restarts based on a continuous supply of random numbers, while aircraft state (Altitude, Mach, Angle of Attack, and Sideslip) as well as aircraft configuration increase or decrease the chances of pitfalls and recoveries. Watch those inlet ramps!
  • Three channel passive Stability Augmentation System. Pilot inputs and control surface deflection rates are reduced, which allow a more precise and controlled flight. Not to be used during combat manoeuvres.
  • Thoroughly tested by retried Fleet Tomcat pilots and a software engineer involved with a professional Tomcat simulation. Performance data plus control response & stability data were sourced and matched as closely as possible to NATOPS and NASA technical archives.
  • Upon the official release of the SDK for TacPack by Vertical Reality Simulations, users, owning TacPack, will be able to launch payloads including the Tomcat`s potent beyond visual range capabilities.

Ojito al nuevo CV que trae, por lo visto es canela

Queridos Reyes Magos;

 

Este año he sido mu bueno y por ello os pido que me traigais el F-14 Tomcat de Aerosoft, que junto a mi Tack-Pack y al Super Hornet, haran verdaderas virguerías en combate aereo.

 

Aunque como decían antaño los pilotos de Tomcat, Si no pilotas un Tomcat, no eres un autentico piloto naval. :icon_mrgreen::icon_mrgreen::icon_mrgreen:

 

Tambien estoy deseando hacer pasaditas a toda velocidad sobre la hija del Almirante Benjamin, y junto a la torre de control de Miramar, ¿Se podran hacer esto? como trae ya el repintado de Top-Gun.... :game:

Copio la lista preliminar de características para los que les interese este gato.

 

Feature List
· Three generations of the A model F-14 as well as the more refined B model
· Drive up front or scan the skies from the RIO seat
· Payload Manager with Checklists
o Payloads can be loaded and jettisoned dynamically in the simulator, changing visual models, weight, and fuel
· Automated Checklists for Pre-Start, Start, Post-Start, Taxi, Run-up, Take-off, Approach, and Post-Landing
· Approach Rating system which evaluates how well pilots set their aircraft up for a visual approach
· Sim Start Options which allow users to set and remember the F-14's loading state.
· Visual Systems
o HUD - A models: vintage type that is projected on the windscreen
o HUD - B model: Sparrow Hawk model with integrated combiner
o HUD - Both Models: All Flight and Steering modes have been created, including A/A and A/G with CCIP, shows Carrier TACAN and ILS symbology
o VDI (Vertical Display Indicator) - in-the-cockpit aircraft attitude instrument with ground and sky textures
o HSD (Horizontal Situation Display) - compass rose and steering symbols (TACAN, CRS, ADF)
o DDD (Detailed Data Display) - shows raw radar data in azimuth and range-rate
o TID (Tactical Information Display) - presents radar targets in a computer-generated, synthetic, clutter-free format
o RWR (Radar Warning Receiver) - shows ground and sea based radar emitters
AWG-9 radar - 8 modes of operation (including STT, RWS, TWS, PLM), adjustable azimuth scan and elevation bar patterns, ranges from 5 to 200nm
All displays have the authentic F-14A type symbology and functionality is programmed according to the NATOPS Manual
· Engine Management (TF-30)
o Compressor stalls (aero): Poor management of the aircraft will result in random compressor stalls which can induce a dreaded flat spin. Stall algorithm is random; stalls will onset, clear, and engine restarts based on a continuous supply of random numbers, while aircraft state (Altitude, Mach, Angle of Attack, and Sideslip) as well as aircraft configuration increase or decrease the chances of pitfalls and recoveries
o Compressor Stalls (throttle): Rapid throttle movements in the IDLE region can saturate the combustion chamber and stall a compressor
o Mach Lever: During Air Combat Maneuvering; Engine IDLE RPM is automatically increased at high AoA to increase stall resistance (both types)
o Engine Fires: Hot starts and compressor stalls dump fuel into the combustion chamber even though no thrust is being generated. Exceeding a transient temperature limit for critical time or heating beyond an absolute limit will cause the blades to melt and the engine will be lost
o Sump Tanks: Turbines are directly supplied by gravity fed sump tanks which only hold a combined 600lbs of fuel. Negative G maneuvers and high thrust settings can starve the engines in a hurry
· Flight Systems
o Complete wing sweep implementation with all four modes of operation: Auto, Bomb, Manual, and Emergency (with Oversweep). Auto Mode uses two sweep channels with dependencies on Mach and Altitude to determine optimum wing sweep angle
o Maneuver Flaps: Both automatic and pilot controlled (separate system from main flaps)
o Glove Vanes: Extend with Maneuver Flaps at sweep angles greater than 25° and also at very high Mach
o Approach Auto Throttle: The F-14 is a notoriously difficult plane to land, Approach AutoThrottle maintains the aircraft at optimum AoA.
o Direct Lift Control: Pilots can toggle a partial extension of the inboard spoilers to adjust AoA during approach
o Ground Roll AeroBrake: When armed, Inboard and Outboard spoilers fully extend with weight on wheel and throttles at Idle
o Speed Brake: Blows shut at speeds greater than 400KIAS or auto-retracts at MIL thrust
o MiniHUD: Optional 2D gauge gives access to information which would be readily available in a pilot's peripheral vision
· Auto Flight Control System (AFCS)
o Three channel passive Stability Augmentation System (SAS). Pilot inputs and control surface deflection rates are reduced, which allow better control in the normal flight regime
o Aileron-Rudder Interconnect designed directly from NASA source documentation
o Built from scratch Autopilot with Control Stick Steering in Pitch and Bank Hold Modes
o Vector mode follows a loaded flight Plan
o Auto Carrier Landing System combines with Auto Throttle for a hands free carrier landing. 2D Alignment gauge for AFCS can be used give precise feedback on ACLS lineup
· Flight Mechanics
o Thoroughly tested by retried Fleet F-14 pilots and a software engineer involved with a professional F-14 simulation. Performance and control response & stability data were sourced and matched as closely as possible to NATOPS and NASA technical archives
o The F-14's notorious flat spin has been recreated along with the 'Hoser' method of spin recovery
o Simconnect enabled Axis Manager (AM) precisely sets the aircraft's lift based on the configuration of six lift devices; Wing Sweep, Primary (outboard) flaps, Auxiliary (inboard) flaps, Slats, Spoilers, and Glove Vanes
o (AM) Separate control output for Stabilator and spoilerons; wings swept aft will produce less lift, less roll, and notably increased adverse yaw
o (AM) Authentic catapult launch speeds on any carrier as well as a custom trap physics on recovery
· AI Scenarios
o In-sim menu allows users to spawn randomly generated scenarios anywhere near a carrier TACAN signal
o Includes radar Intercept, escort, wandering (civilian) pilot, Random, and a Tanker for when the tanks run empty
o Included aircraft that have been generously donated by our collaborators:
§ KA-6D: Razbam Simulations (http://www.razbamsims.com)
§ Su-27 : ALS-Sim (http://www.als-sim.com)
§ Tu-95 : Samdim Designs (http://samdimdesign.free.fr/)
· USS Kitty Hawk CV-63
o Built from scratch Fresnel Lens Optical Landing System (FLOLS) which can be applied to any naval aircraft using the Kitty Hawk
o 11 moving carrier tracks from around the world centered around on historically significant locations. Each track has a corresponding saved flight which allows users to load the simulation directly on a moving carrier.
· Moving tracks includes a carrier task force
o USS Jarrett and USS Vandegrift by Alberto Garcia
o USNS Patuxent by Javier Fernandez
o Owners of the Deltasim DDG (http://deltasimstudio.com/ddg.htm) will have the option to substitute the destroyer into the Carrier Task Force
· TacPack by Vertical Reality Simulations
o Users who own TacPack will be able launch payloads including the F-14's potent beyond visual range capabilities
o TV Camera set (TCS) will focus on any radar locked target and enable visual target identification at a range of 10nm

No si esta bien, hay que poner la fuente, lo que me ha mosqueado es que en los foros de DCS el tipo tampoco ponia la fuente...Ya sabes que estos guiris estan un poco locos :icon_mrgreen:

 

Wow que peacho manuales! joder yo quiero ser jubilado para tener tiempo para darle a todo.....Y aun asi faltaria tiempo :baboso:

Gentlemen (ladies),

we're putting this release on hold for 20 hours. A very unexpected issue popped up that is now fixed but it does need some more testing. As this is a real show stopper of an issue we feel uncomfortable releasing with it and patching later on. That would not do this superb product justice.

And yes, it's not good that an issue like this found just before we release. But that's why we have a quality control department that tests the Release Candidate. Those last tests are done on special test machines that mimic our customers machines as well as possible. As testers tend to be experienced users their machines and installations often are different it is just possible the last test show a new issue. As was the case this morning.

Sorry.
