DCS F-14 Tomcat by Heatblur Simulations
- NEW: Hook Physics
- Added physics based hook model.
- Hook will skip now if landing too fast.
- Hook will shear off when arresting with excess kinetic energy.
- Hook no longer clips through ground. (Spectators and RIO may notice some clipping due to network lag.)
- Added collision shell to hook.
- Hook can now be damaged by gunfire or explosions and detach from the aircraft.
- Added spark effects and hook break sounds.
- NEW: Iceman Features
- Iceman can now orbit a steerpoint or map marker.
- You can select between a variety of speeds and diameters
- You can ask Iceman to fly a left or right handed orbit
- You can smoothly transition between orbit diameters and speeds at any time
- Iceman can now fly to a steerpoint or map marker.
- NEW: Carrier Burble Aerodynamics
- Carriers will now create a burble behind the stern.
- Burble intensity differs with carrier and wind speeds and needs to be taken into account when landing on the carrier.
- When in close, the burble will first generate positive vertical velocity, immediately followed by negative vertical velocity.
- NEW: At night, the catapult launch is triggered by turning the exterior lights on (in accordance with manual procedures). Added a new special option which flashes the lights automatically together with the pilot salute.
- NEW: Added MAK-79 bomb clamp models and revised loadout code. Bombs will now no longer float around the aircraft pylons.
- JESTER reporting improvements: JESTER is now more selective in reporting incoming missiles, and he will ignore the missiles that don’t look like potential threats.
- Completely rebuilt turn and slip ball indicator physics.
- Overhauled several aspects of Autopilot behaviour:
- ALT Hold will now null the rate instead of returning to a set altitude.
- ALT Hold will now engage only if within +/- 200FPM vertical speed.
- ALT Hold will not disengage anymore with lateral stick input, but with approx. 10lbs longitudinal pressure (or its equivalent in vertical velocity).
- HDG Hold will not disengage anymore with lateral stick input. Lateral stick input can now be used for steering in HDG Hold and will set the new heading upon release and leveling.
- With HDG Hold engaged and if lateral stick input is released within 5° bank angle the AP will level the aircraft now.
- Fixed ATT and ALT Hold not engaging properly at higher altitudes.
- The aircraft will roll smoother now if lateral stick input is used during ATT, ALT and HDG Hold.
- If the aircraft is overbanked or overpitched during ALT and/or ATT Hold, ATT Hold should now return the aircraft to 30° pitch and 60° bank.
- Taught JESTER the importance of breathing: he will turn on his oxygen on startup now.
- Asking JESTER to input waypoints will no longer break the INS alignment procedure. The option to input the waypoints is disabled during times when it could impact the alignment.
- Fixed Wing Sweep multi-crew initialization issue. This should solve F-14’s causing collision damage on carriers if spawned in the wrong order due to unswept wings.
- Fixed slip-ball negative G-load erratic behavior.
- Fixed radio catapult salute. It now triggers launch.
- RIO can now use radio catapult salute to trigger a launch, too.
- Fixed guard receiver in both radios. Guard frequency is now audible and automatically sets guard frequency according to your last selected frequency in the AN/ARC-182: 40.5 FM for 30 - 88 FM, 121.5 AM for 108 - 156 AM, 156.8 FM for 156 - 174 FM and 243 for ranges set between 225 and 400 AM/FM (and will always be 243 AM for the AN/ARC-159).
- Possible fix for the BDHI TACAN needle bug where it could get stuck pointing down.

- Fixed multi-crew synchronisation of the Yaw String.
- Fixed multi-crew synchronisation of the Wing Sweep indicator.

- Increased AIM-54 and AIM-7 RCS as per request from Eagle Dynamics.
- Added BDU-45 and BDU-45B practice bombs to loadouts.
- Fix for CATM being launchable (previously DCS used to ignore launch API on these).
- Adjusted BDU-33 and SUU-25 attach position on BRU-42 forwards slightly to match lug holes.
- Added bindings for VR reset base, spyglass zoom and zoom.
- Fixed Campaign OP Reforger Mission 5.
