This is an easy fun mission (great for F-14 beginners, and also very suitable for VR) where you can simply enjoy general flying of the F-14 in an immersive story based environment, all while building a range of F-14 specific skills including the following elements:
•    Carrier take-off and landing
•    Easy navigation using the pre-planned waypoints (optional use of TACAN)
•    Airfield take-off and landing (with associated ground handling)
•    Formation flying (escort)
•    Spatial awareness
•    Aerial intercept and small dogfight (where you have a distinct advantage)
•    Aerial refueling (optional)
The mission typically takes about an hour to fully complete.  It has custom voice overs (just TTS at this stage) that provide easy to follow instructions and add to immersion.

REQUIREMENTS:
•    Module: F-14 Tomcat
•    Map: Persian Gulf
•    Mods: None

Since the F15E was announced for DCS, I was looking forward to flying challenging low-level missions at night in poor weather conditions.

I couldn’t find any readily available missions, so I made my own, which evolved over a few weeks to this current version.

I acknowledge that such a mission is improbable in real life, especially with so many short legs used for WP navigation through the valleys. But I found it to be a nice balance between challenging and fun, so hope you will too.

I added voice overs that called out the turns (and provided other tidbits) which helped ease the navigation workload.  But because my voice might not be to everyone’s taste (NZ accent and all), I have added a F10 menu option so you can turn it off (except for a few mission-critical callouts).
