SWINOUJSCIE, POLAND - March 3rd 2015 - F-14A/B (A+) Tomcat coming to DCS World

Leatherneck Simulations, in association with The Fighter Collection and Eagle Dynamics are immensely proud to announce the development of the F-14 Tomcat for DCS World!

The F-14 Tomcat is a fourth-generation, twin tail, supersonic naval interceptor aircraft, developed for the United States' Navy VFX programme. After it's debut flight in 1970, and subsequent fleet introduction in 1974, the F-14 became the primary fleet defense and air superiority fighter for the U.S. Navy. The legend of the F-14 only grew after the hollywood smash-hit "Top Gun" - in which it was heavily featured.

Key Features of DCS: F-14A & B include:
Highly Accurate 6-DOF (Degrees of Freedom) Cockpit
Highly Accurate avionics and weapons system modelling - including the vaunted AWG-9 Radar system and AIM-54 Phoenix missiles.
AIM-54 Phoenix Simulation with a CFD based AFM
'JESTER AI' - A Proprietary AI System for fully voiced, dependable and smart RIO/WSO
Highly Accurate Flight Model - Based on Real Performance Data
Both -A and -B Model F-14's
Animated Crew Members - Closely Integrated with JESTER AI
Highly Detailed External Model, Animations and Textures
Highly Accurate Aircraft System and Subsystem Modelling
One Free Theatre bundled with the Aircraft
...and much, much more!
At Leatherneck Simulations we strongly believe in raising the bar. We have never been comfortable with adhering to the status quo.

For the Development Team, the F-14 will represent the culmination of years of experience and dedication. Our passion is only rivaled by our ambition, and we are pushing ourselves to be better than ever before. So strap in and enjoy the ride, and get ready to experience definitive F-14 experience.

Sincerely,
Leatherneck Simulations

Je ne connais pas bien cet avion, donc je ne sais pas trop à quoi on peut s'attendre, mais vu le boulot qui a été fait sur le Mig-21Bis ça ne peut que être bon !
Par contre c'est subjectif, mais je ne suis pas fan des avions bi places. Ça sous entends qu'il faut être deux pour un usage optimale de l'avion et du coup ça sous entend la présence d'une IA (pour l'instant).
Après, je ne connais pas l'avion, donc peut être qu'un pilote est largement suffisant pour toutes les opérations ! Perso j'aime bien me dire que c'est moi qui contrôle tout à partir de mon cockpit.

Par contre je trouve dommage qu'il n'y ai pas eu d'annonce pour un concurrent du Mig-21Bis.
Malgré ses qualités, ce dernier se retrouve un peu hors contexte par rapport à tous les autres modules.

-Multiplayer Multicrew capability. Fly together as RIO and Pilot !

MiG-21bis (1972; Izdeliye 75; NATO "Fishbed-L/N"
The ultimate development of the MiG-21, fitted with the Tumanskiy R25-300 turbojet engine and a great number of other advances over previous types. Those MiG-21bis for the Soviet PVO (Air Defence Force) were equipped with the Lazur GCI system (NATO: "Fishbed-L"), while those for the Soviet Air Force were fitted with the Polyot ILS system (NATO: "Fishbed-N").
