F-14 Tomcat

Hello, Aerosoft F-14X menu is not working. If I access the menu and click any item, nothing happens. I tried to uninstall F-14x, delete existing folders and then I reinstalled, but nothing changed. Can you help me? thanks

Hi, first of all I would like to say that I really like the F14 and with the new update it got even better. Thanks for all the work to create and update this great aircraft. Today I started operating the F14 at night and loaded the corresponding night operations flight. However I have two issues: The checked items in the checklist are very hard to identify, as the check mark is colored nearly the same as the background. The font for the text is very good visible. At daylight the check marks have the same color as the text. The carrier is very dark. FLOLS works but no other lights are turned on. Especially the runway is completely dark. …

Hi folks, I am hoping to find out as much info on the AC dimensions for the crew compartments and instrument panels and individual panels etc. to build a home Sim Pit to a realistic degree. If anyone has access to any of this info or are able to point me to appropriate manuals/documents or personal experience or access to an aircraft to take measurements I would really enjoy talking to you. It might be possible to help make some meager reimbursement to you for your time since I am on a fixed budget. Also, anyone who knows where it might be possible to learn how to develop cad drawings and possibly using a smaller milling machine and or 3D printer would be informative…

Is there any plan to add low altitude warning (audible/visual) in conjunction with the rad alt bug setting.

Hi, I don't know whether this is too much work, but I was wondering whether the control to change the NAV/TID/ECM switch can be in a toggle format? Instead of three separate controls, just have a button that can cycle through the display options. Anyway, the F-14X Extended is pretty superb, I just find that I have to refer to those displays quite often. Thanks, Peter

Since the F-14 is a combat aircraft, it seemed like an appropriate thread was needed to showcase sierra hotel stick-work. Those that have TacPack will automatically generate ACMI files for TacView (free here) for a live playback that are stored in 'Modules/VRS_TacPack/TacView'. The recent release of the Carrier and Convoy planner (free here) means there is plenty of room for freedom in scenario design. Example shown below came out during testing of the current auto-countermeasures deployed from the RIO seat. TacView - F-14 01.zip

Hello, F-14B and F-14A block 110 models are too sensitive in lateral control. It is very hard to make precise corrections during carrier landing. Even small joystick right/left deflection cause fast roll reaction. Is it behavior of real plane? I didn't have this problem in previous version of F-14x. Is possible to reduce lateral control sensitivity of these models?

i tried to turn on the tacpack nvg at night using the vrs misc pulldown menu but it just flashes on/off. don't have/use the registered version of fsuipc lua script. how can i get this tacpack function working again?

I was looking at real world F-14A cockpits, and I noticed that the standby artificial horizon had the ability to be caged. Looking at the aerosoft f-14 it doesn't seem to have this ability. I was wondering if this was true, and if it is true could the development team possibly work a cage option into any future updates, it would be nice to have that capability.

Hi, During C/D start up, anytime the checklist wants to do AB/Throttle checks it sends the jet off across the tarmac and neither having the parking brake set nor my standing on the brakes can keep it from moving or stop it until the engines wind down. Is this how it is supposed to work? If so, how do I get around it because I end up in the weeds each time. It happens whether I adjust throttles manually or just check the box and let the system do it. Thanks. Hobo I am using FSX Gold/Acceleration on win7 with paid version of FSUIPC

I just recently (yesterday night) downloaded P3Dv3. I have been reading some of the comments in here and I was just wondering I have the F-14X which I purchased 11/2/2015, is this version not compatible with P3Dv3 or do I need to get F14 Extended version now for it to be compatible with P3Dv3. I have noticed that I am unable to get an external view of the aircraft using the F14X version that I had in FSX. The aircraft flies well but I am guessing that is the one compatibility issue. I was reading about qualification for free upgrades to the Extended version. Does this meet that criteria. I did purchase this aircraft from the Aerosoft Download shop on 11/2/2015. was just l…

is it possible to tone down or eliminate the smoke generated when touching down on the carrier? the smoke effect is quite taxing on the gfx and just doesn't look good. a puff of smoke is ok but it's just too much like a cloud that envelopes the plane...

1986, El Dorado Canyon operation: Following a terrorist attack in west Germany, tensions between Libya and USA reaches a level never seen before. The region is on the brink of war: US carrier and vessels have been deployed in the Gulf of Sirte while Libya is threatening to attack any boats in this gulf. The war is not yet officially declared but Libyan aircrafts already threaten US vessels and a few Libyan aircrafts have already been intercepted or destroyed. Your goal will be to fly scramble mission in order to protect the carrier and additional value assets. Threats are important therefore, engagements may occur anytime and anywhere. You probably already un…

Hello everyone, Like the title says, will it be possible to have those features, and / or Radar slaved mode, somewhere in the future ? Those would be great, to add more to the immersion factor.

Hello, It is impossible to see ball from 0.7Nm in P3D V3.2 on Kittyhawk. It appears in 0.4Nm. However default acceleration carrier meatball is visible from 1.1Nm. Is possible to make Kittyhawk meatball visible same as default acceleration carrier meatball?

Hello everyone, My problem is that I can not hold the catapult. I follow the instructions in the manual but the points three "shift W" is not working. "Shift W" must be configured in the options? If so which function in FSX? We must be in a specific location on the catapult? The switch for the launch bar in the pit is used for anything?

Hi, Really starting to figure out how the lantirn works and I really enjoy it. The only thing that confuses me a little is that it seems that the lantirn is zoomed in quite a lot, is there a zoom function? Also, I was a little confused about which key is the recentre for the lantirn? The landing light home switch doesn't seem to do it for me. Amazing update! Thanks, Peter

FYI - I just added a new repaint to the downloads section. This is an F-14B VF-103 Sluggers ac 206 from 1994. This is my first repaint, but I have spent a TON of time getting everything to match my reference photos - and it is real close. Hope y'all enjoy. Fly NAVY Dave

maybe difficult to see on the screen shots below but it looks better. v2.1 1) Red gauge lights accented with point source lighting 2) some more light reflection effect off video screens for more depth http://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/files/file/3834-aerosoft_f14_vcnightlight_v21zip/

Version 2.01 was uploaded this morning as a complete new installer in the Aerosoft Shop. Please delete all previous versions of the F-14 before installing. This patch is being pushed to resolve a throttle management bug that was present for a some users. Notes The Aircraft.cfg's have not changed since the release of the base F-14 Extended (v2.00), so modifications made for 3rd party liveries or removing active mirrors (P3D only) can be retained. Change Log + Fix issue that caused the throttle to lock for some users + Fixed E-Gen lua command + Fixed AP DISC Paddle + Fixed condition where aircraft would lose ground power aft…

I need some help. I have installed the F-14 Extended into FSX Steam. Not only does the carrier not show up (and I have tried all the fixes previously posted) but the view is locked to Pilot View 00. Any attempt to change views results in the sim quickly coming back to View 00. I cannot get the set-up menu to show for the same reason. It did work at one point after I first installed it, but since it has exhibited only this behavior. I have done full uninstalls, rebooted, made sure my anti-virus was off, and reinstalled with no luck. Just as a point of comparison, my copy of the VRS F-18 is working properly in all modes. I could re…

Hello guys, I have problem with aerosoft F-14. When i try to move flaps does not move. also when try to move it via handle i hear voice from the handle but also no any change. any suggest? Regards,

Where's the rest of the clutter on the Kitty hawk? FSX:SE

Maybe I missed something... But saw on the features list that Ground Power was now select-able... Was wondering where the switch of that was...? Searched the manuals but couldn't seem to locate it...

How about people post here site/s where one can add additional squadron liveries? Or how about a sticky?
