A completed manual that actually matches the aircraft model in the module and that provides full descriptions of equipment and procedures. The TARPS reconnaissance pod for photography enthusiasts. While the F-14 module certainly feels very complete, it is still marked “Early Access” in the DCS store for the simple reason that it is still missing a couple of things: Both the classic A variant, for those who really want to rough it out with weaker engines, and the updated and more manageable (but still highly temperamental) F-14B. All kinds of temperamental radars and datalinks and optical scopes and other fiddly bits for the RIO to be endlessly frustrated by. A kneeboard score sheet where the LSO tells you exactly how horrible your landing was. A landing auto throttle to run in conjunction with the autopilot. DLC - not the type you buy but rather a set of spoilers that let you shift your flight path up and down without altering your AoA. A curious collection of tools to make carrier landings really easy:. The ADM-141 TALD decoy missile to trick air defences into shooting at something else. A decent selection of air-to-ground weapons, including LGBs and the LANTIRN pod needed to guide them. Updated missile physics that make the above work almost as expected. A small but highly functional complement of air-to-air weapons, including the mythical AIM-54 Phoenix. The JESTER and ICEMAN AI virtual RIO and pilot, for when your friends have no taste and have not bought the Tomcat. True, fully functional, fully synced multicrew where a pilot and a RIO player can (and indeed must) coordinate their actions to make the aircraft do anything. The very heart of the F-14 is that it is a two-man aircraft, and this complication alone is shown in the two top features of the module (although the rest is nothing to sneeze at either): Heatblur's recreation is well on its way to become a legend of its own based on what it has achieved. The kit enables you to rebuild the "Cockpit" of the famous "Falcon" which incorporated innovative design features at the time of its introduction to the US and NATO fighter squadrons.The DCS prop plane modules are all marked “fly a legend!” but if there was ever a candidate for that label among jet aircraft, it is the F-14 Tomcat.
The F-16 adopted innovative solutions such as the side-mounted control stick, the "fly-by-wire" control system and modern avionics to enhance flight and combat performances.
However the project has progressively evolved and created an all-weather multirole aircraft able to have an extraordinary operational flexibility The F-16 is characterized by an original design easily recognizable by the frameless bubble canopy, which guarantees great visibility to the pilot. It was originally developed, according the United States Air Force need, to provide a modern and effective single-seat air superiority day fighter. The F-16 Fighting Falcon, produced by the American company General Dynamics since the late '70s, is a real icon of the military aviation history. 115 parts - Fully detailed real F-16 cockpit controls - Fully detailed MD ACES II ejection seat - Complete cockpit dials decals - Adhesive acetate silk seat belts - Pilot’s visor, gunsight and radar scope clear parts - Pilot’s helmet and oxygen mask
