Heatblur F-14 and Forrestal Update

Aha! That was you thanks for that! It took me less than ten minutes to get it working thanks to to that guide! Brilliant. It was driving me crazy because I distinctly remembered the voices! Anyway I’ll grab the quick reference page as well. Nice one!

Oh boy I loved F14FF!
Sadly it was… A gift :wink: so it came without a manual.
Loved it nevertheless. :smiley:
IIRC you can manoeuvre to the point the GIB (Guy In the Back) vomits!
Or was that U.S. Navy Fighters?

That was indeed the feature of the Fighters series. In FD when you looked back over the shoulder you could see your RIO having his head on a swivel while you manouvered the jet.

I loved the hidden gems in FD like the WWII plane, the UFO, and the dragon.

I also remember the frustration of trying to take down the bombers before they launched on the carrier, but half of them would always manage to launch and then having to shoot down their cruise missiles!

I’ve had this in my Steam wishlist for over a year now… if I don’t have to do the DOSbox dance, that’s one more reason to pick it up…

Dangit. More shoes.

Flying saucer

Flight 19

Sorry for the crappy quality - it was captured through DOSBox video capture feature which sucks for those old VGA low resolution games.

Wow I do remember the UFO now after seeing that. The dragon and flight 19 are a mystery though. Thanks for finding those. Awesome. I’m sure the resolution on those vids is better than my in game res :joy:

The models for Flight 19 are directly pulled from another Microprose title… 1942 Pacific Air War.

Called it.

Envy. Covetousness. Annoyance. Anticipation. Relief

I’m feeling all of those things. Sadness is probably the one emotion not in the rotation.

So, pre-order next week? :wink:

So the good news is that content creators already seem to have access. We might see a lot of Tomcat videos until Christmas :wink:

That will make @near_blind happy LoL

Could anyone enlighten me as to the news (which I am assuming is not good…) please

Watch Ralfi’s video closely and pay attention to the last plane landing…

And by “happy,” you mean “full of jealous rage and envy”?
