I do enjoy yhe mod that replaces the 29’s hud repeater with a map though
It unfortunately is only about the same capability as the 27’s map, but without datalink

Doesnt the 29 alresdy have a really good nav system for its era tho?

Lol. Honestly the biggest thing missing from the 56 is a throttle detent. I think you can fake it in the software but meh… I just use a switch for the Apache for startup and shutdown. One slider for the throttle and the other for collective. Same is MSFS2024. Been pretty solid.

More details for ye
The TV does not wrok at this time,
It uses rhe Su-27’s fm, but made heavier, it feels sufficient enough and is believable
The wing sweep is cosmetic only
It has like legit 32 polish skins (the author is polish) and at least one skin for every operator of it
The ELINT pod works and is sick
It has multiple ARMs
Multiple guided missiles
260 something countermeasures (woe!)
The cockpit is very high quality and feels official, everything that needs to be clickable is, and parts rattle and shake under high stress like the phantom and its so fucking sick
The weapons usage is simple as youd expect from an aircraft of this era
It shares lots of parts directly from the frogfoot A
Spo-15 plus the Elint bump makes for an actually decent rwr setup
The drop tanks dont actually add fuel themselves, but you can add the equivalent fuel amount in the fuel slider
This is V1.0 exactly of this mod made by a few guys who are pretty new to this, its a really good first outing and i hope i can soon see it as standard on servers like the loach and skyhawk

love that CICU...gonna be interesting to see how this changes things in the backseat
from HB-
Development pace on the F-14B(U) continues strong as we are progressing well on putting in place all of the key avionics upgrades that modernized the Tomcat for the 2000s. Many of these systems are already in a usable state, and limited internal testing has been ongoing for the past few months.
A completely new HUD has been implemented, providing significantly improved situational awareness compared to the legacy system with functionalities such as integrated RWR, multiple target designators, detailed target and navigational data, and higher refresh rates.
For the RIO, the PTID greatly expands operational capabilities, and can now also be repeated on the ECMD when required, improving flexibility and crew coordination, allowing video feeds to be viewed at the same time as the radar display.
On the navigation side, the aircraft is now built around a modernized navigation architecture, including the CDNU for input output, and the EGI (Embedded GPS and INS). Together, these systems provide a far more capable and robust navigation solution than previously available and will significantly change the way you fly and fight in your Tomcat.
More updates will follow, where individual systems will be presented in greater detail. These future updates will also cover additional capabilities currently in development, including new weapons and systems such as JDAMs and DFCS; key parts that move the B(U) from quality of life upgrade to a truly new experience!
At the same time as we build the F-14B(U) aircraft itself, we’re beginning to bring across some of the most requested functionality that we developed for the F-4E Phantom. Features such as the in-game browser, interactive kneeboards, interactive manual (with explain-me-switch feature), and more will be coming to both DCS F-14A/B and the B(U). We will of course be teaching JESTER to use the new systems as well, and after the release of the B(U), we plan on making QoL improvements to JESTER in both Tomcats, though this may largely depend on feasibility. Working on an upgrade product in this way affords us a unique opportunity to spend more time than otherwise possible on bringing across new features and making sure the entire eventual F-14 product family remains one of your favourite flight simulation experiences.

This was just posted on the Tempest DCS Server about VAICOM being hacked.
As of yesterday, PeneCruz, the guy who took over the VAICOM development has lost his account to hackers.
They have also taken over his Discord server. They booted me and other admins. I am not sure if they have access to Github - but nobody can for 100% sure say rn if that is the case.
As VAICOM has an **autoupdate** feature, I would highly recommend to TURN THAT OFF.
I also want to encourage you guys to spread that as far as it goes. This can really end up in a mess.
Sorry for the ping. Trying to spread the warning. Stay safe from hackers and DMs```<@&1095016968643428422>

The lack of a chucks for the ameracchi and a2a missiles have made me decidely a no on that
And its rather light a2g
Like literally weight ligiht
And i dont really want another red aircraft in the L-39
Also the sea eagles on the 101 are funny
whole cove
The main issue with the light fighter/trainer/attackers is their lack of PGMs and dogged performance. I'd say go for the C-101 over the L39, and if you want to fly with another friend who owns either one, the L-39 is slightly more fun for that
forest flint
Mk82’s whether from an F-5 or C-101 are equally about as accurate 
whole cove
Yeah, although the F-5 is a bit higher performance, lack of any computers hurts it a bit.
If only we had like an F-5 FCU or Tigris, or F-20 or something
forest flint
Performance certainly isnt in the f-5 description once a2g is attached either 
But it makes it pretty fun
The C101 also has a very nice cockpit visually and after glancing its guide it seems like its weapons operation is basically identical to the F-5
whole cove
Pretty much, I haven't flown the C much, but it's pretty nice. And it gets 9Ms, which the F-5 should have but doesn't.

Great news they fixed the thermonuclear 250lb bombs and neutron fusion 1000lb
Bad news they also made bombs 1000lbs or greater 5 out of 6 times just..despawn when they hit, especially buildings
Dumped an entire A-4 of Mk84’s on a building and they all just despawned 😭
Then my friend dropped 4 from a-10c and they also did the same thi g
I tried dropping somehwre else and its fine 💀
I did nail an infantryman i the head with another test bomb that despawned tho
sinful fiber
Mainly because DCS spans multiple eras, and the only other soviet piston fighter...
Don’t talk shit bout my Donkey like that

is that the "mig" from original top gun?

Absolutely

with the RIO dingus as a stick
is that a wire guidance joystick in front?
kinda looks like the sb 105

I thought it was the backseat of the Tomcat with a few greeblies under the fishbowl and some red starts to make it look "bad"
the RIO's Fire button is just to the left of his thumb in the pic
summer depot
The left side panel looks almost identical
But in front of the dingus the panel is too angled

and the annunciator lights on the left of the pic are odd as well
Kinda looks like lighting from the frogfoot
stone plover
they might but some randomness in the RIO station to further "disguise" it

Yeah and the clips where they only had 1 f14 so his wingman becomes a mig
Not exactly realistic but a great movie
stone plover
oh, 100% made in the editing based on their footage
it's objectively a mess with them showing footage that doesn't line up with the narrative

A320 panel?
stone plover
I guess...I don't know my civ cockpit panels very well
but holy shit that's a lot of panel
winwing dropped a lot of product annoucements over the past few days at flight sim expo
a lot seem to be revisions or upgrades
but also they're doing the FFB thing too

"The storm continues to build!
The Eurofighter grows closer as we work hard on this flagship title. While we're getting ever closer to the release of projects such as the F-14BU, much of our efforts are concentrated on bringing the Eurofighter into Early access release. With it we are leveraging systems both new and old to put you in the eye of the storm.
The flight model is approaching completion, radar and weapons systems are coming alive, and plumbing of fundamental core systems is connected with displays and user interfaces. While the Eurofighter will likely buck the trend of completion level for Heatblur modules, offering a step-wise approach to air to air first and air to ground later, our goal is to ensure that you are left with a visceral, immersive, authentic high fidelity modern canard experience on day one, complete within the focus of each step; laying the backbone and foundation for a long term roadmap exploring this mainstay of various air forces.
We can't wait for you to fly our Eurofighter. Stay tuned over the coming months for more info and deep dives as we complete more systems and the DCS Eurofighter begins taking a complete shape.
Your Heatblur Team
