Heatblur F-14 and Forrestal Update

If it were me calling the shots at razbam, I’d put at least 2 months between my release and the tomcat… it’s looking to be a very tough act to follow

After flying the f15c for a few missions I will definitely buy the dark grey on its release. In fact between my a10c the tomcat and the strike eagle I think my lineup would be complete for a while… Unless a kc10 or b1b dropped unexpectedly lol

Is there a dcs wishlist thread on here anywhere? I couldn’t locate on but I may start one if not

Pretty sure the F-15E is nowhere near ready to drop, despite what Razbam has claimed. They still haven’t got a fully textured Farmer yet.

Don’t think so, but it’d be fun to have one!

OK leave it to me… I’ll set some parameters so it might stay interesting

I just bought the F-14.

Not sure if this has been answered already in some capacity, but it’s regarding ejection in the F-14. Is there a ISS selector mode (CMD FWD, SOLO, DUAL) or something similar to control which seats go when the handles are pulled? Just curious… and a little concerned.

Hey that one has the tail for VF-114! Somebody shoulda told them that VF-114 was disestablished in '93. :laughing:

Yes. Command eject is both Pilot and RIO. Don’t recall what the, “You are on your own. I’m out of here.” individual ejection is called.

In Command eject, the order of things is: Canopy, RIO, Pilot.

F-14 and eject always reminds me of the “my RIO just ejected” story. :smiley:

Anyone found any youtuber content on the tomcat? I think Cobra said they were releasing it to those select few this week. @near_blind Did you make the cut?

There’s gonna be a learning curve to flying single that has nothing to do with the systems on their own. Jester is a complex and amazing system.

Your guess is as good as any, but winter 2019 is the window. So basically sometime between now and end of March.

Am I only one most excited about Jester only because he can help with my ridiculously bad spottting skills after the merge?

Spotting is poor all over DCS. They removed the enhanced pixels years ago (“with a replacement coming soon”) but we’re still waiting.

I’m excited for Jester not only for the spotting, but I’ll finally have someone that can actually run the radar properly instead of me fumbling around with it all the way to the merge without locking anything. :rofl:
