Loverly. Absolutely, positively, over the top, superb, and worth every second of waiting. And yet...
Okay, I've a question.
Yay for our proprietary flight modeling system, which allows us to:
"The F-14 will built upon our proprietary component based flight modeling system...This will allow us to simulate the forces acting upon the aircraft at any given flight regime or aircraft configuration... we can easily introduce advanced features such as variable geometry wings or glove vanes and have them yield realistic results."
But...
"Both -A and -B model Tomcats will be included in the DCS: F-14. We are aiming for a mid 80’s model -A Tomcat, and mid-90s’ -B. This, for example, means that the Glove Vanes will be disabled on both models, while other improvements (Engine, Control Systems & More) will differ."
Wait, what? Why even develop them (the glove vanes) if they aren't going to be used, and in fact purposely disabled, on either (both) model(s)? Perhaps for a later "upgrade/update" to the ultimate F-14D? And what's with the "It is possible that we will expand the available ordinance or equipment after release to encompass more of the F-14’s later capability."?
Maybe I'm just picking nits, as I'd take an 80's A model any day, but some of this reads kinda funny. If it's an 80's A, or a mid 90's B, and they didn't have glove vanes, then they didn't have them, not "they've been disabled". Meh. Pick, pick, wonder, wonder. D model?
It'll be interesting to find out what terminal wing rock is all about.
Either way, definitely worth the wait.
