While Microsoft Flight Simulator isn’t specifically built for fighter jets, third-party developers are still working hard to provide for those who crave the military flying experience.
First of all, we get an update about the F-14 Tomcat from DC Designs. Development on this is well underway and the package will focus on the A and B models of the classic Navy fighter.
We also hear more about what we can expect.
“I’m planning some novel details such as customizable crew helmets, flight-suit patches and names ( upon the sides of the canopy frame ), fully operational variable-geometry with manual, auto, and over-sweep modes, compressor-stalls in the “A” model for those who don’t fly it well, and of course realistic engine configurations for each version to make them distinct aircraft in their own right. A full, custom WWise sound pack for both engine types will accompany the launch this time around, rather than following on afterward. As with all my products, the Tomcats will come with a detailed manual and paint kit so all of those countless color schemes can be recreated across both aircraft types.”
