Small heads up here chaps........The long awaited DCS F-14 A & B Tomcat is being released next Wednesday 13th March,this is groundbreaking in terms of Flight Sim tech and comes complete with all the bells and whistles as you'd expect.

I just want to temper expectations and correct the statement above that only the "B" Variant will be available on March 13th. The "A" model will release later, but the "B" is major feature complete with minor exceptions.

As a RIO player, the exceptions are indeed minor and I'm already swamped with crap to learn. Look forward to seeing fellow Cats in the air!

EXCITEMENT!

@ Miek.......Well that told me...I have now been corrected everyone :D

However my opening thread header states ' Early Access ' this means to many,that the purchaser will have an early access to the said aircraft and it's models,I didn't think I needed to be more specific.......anyway Happy days.

Just relaying info, sorry if it offended mate.

Either way, I haven't been more excited for a DCS module ... ever!

.......Not offended at all mate,more amused more than anything :D

The module is looking very promising,I've got to say,however the systems on this Tomcat are endless!!.......the manual for this is,is going to be BIG,the PDF is still being worked on,but hopefully this will be completed by release day,this is good,as I'm pretty sure I'm gonna need it :?

I've been reading *just* the RIO parts so far via the online version and it's super dense. You're going to have a lot of reading material for sure! It's sooooo goood.

Myself and |450| Devil have teamed up as a Pilot/RIO pair with this module and it's been really good so far. We're still working up on the training and coming to grips with it, but so far the quality of the module does show. There are some bugs and quirks that need to be sorted still, but really enjoying the Tomcat.

If anyone is around during North American evenings and wants to fly or be RIO for someone, you'd be welcome to join us.

Sounds good. My pilot and I are also American (east coast) and tend to fly Wednesday evenings. I have a boat load of footage we've taken I need to edit down. But being a Pilot/RIO combo is fantastic. I love it!
