No, your eyes do not deceive you. This is an F-14 in the Aerospace Defense Command of the United States Air Force, and it almost came into being.
As you can see I have included a amusing aspect.
Another cool screenshot:
All right, time for credits:
HUGE credit to Monarchii for the screenshots
0ut16w for the airframe
NEOCORP for the AIM-7s
Ebf123 for the AIM-54s
ALTMTR for the Andrew face
Boeing727200F for the Rick face
I modified the AIM-54s to replicate the "A" model which was the only one at the time. I used actual stats
HAVE A GOOD TIME AND FOR PETE'S SAKE, DON'T PUT THIS ON AN AIRCRAFT CARRIER!

@LoneSpaceGaming I will take your thoughts into consideration.
I'm gonna have to nitpick back:
This is not the same model as the production F-14B. This aircraft, which was actually a mockup, was based off of Grumman designs that were designated F-14B. The "B" designation was later used for the actual F-14B.
Soooo...
Sorry, but I have to nitpick this. It's what I always do to Tomcats on this website.
First:
The wings; what everyone gets wrong with the Tomcat (that or calling the RIO a WSO, luckily, that wasn't an issue). The wings should sweep at a higher speed, and not in a three position way. The wings gradually sweep depending on speed, altitude, and G. I also noticed some glitches with connections where the inboard portion of the slats on the port wing was connected to the spoilers. The spoilers also moved together when rolling one way (my guess is something happened while mirroring the aircraft). The slats are manually deployed with the flaps and tilt down, not just slide forward. The HUD is from a D, not a B I think. You can't really see the HUD in the A and B.
Second:
More on the spoilers and airbrakes. The top portion of the airbrake/speedbrake is absent. The spoilers do not deploy with the airbrakes, they are separate.
Other than that great build!
I'm glad you made the wings automatic, that's a huge thing people often miss.
And for Pete's sake... Pete is Mavericks first name hehe
Sorry for the long comment
You will probably want to add wings for trim
@TheAviator77 watch jundroo s blog, there you can find video sp 2, then you go to youtube description and you can find your jet. Well done
@DCSplanepro12 What?
@TheAviator77 I M SHOKED. THE DEVELOPER JUST USED YOUR JET. YOU WERE IN 2 VIDEOS. MAN YOU ARE FAMOUS
@TheAviator77 Thanks! here it is.

@RCS10 Sure
@TheAviator77 I figured it all out. Also re-liveried it. Would you mind if I post it with credit to you?
@RCS10 I don't know.
This is the best looking F-14 that I can actually download and I love it! I couldn't help but fix the slats (or stabs? idk). The left side was connected to the airbrake, probably from mirroring as you had mentioned. The big problem I'm having seems to be asymmetric lift. I've checked all the hidden wings (slats, mid aircraft, stabilators and nose) and all seem to be symmetric. Any Ideas? Besides that, 10/10.
I see the rick
@DCSplanepro12 No aircraft carriers only airbases
ok, just a beutiful F-14. How should i film it?
@Robomo119E
Sure!
@LoneSpaceGaming so do you want me to tag you in them?
@Robomo119E
I could give some insight toward the one you're developing. I fly in DCS, which I take as pretty much the real thing. It's as close as 90% of the world can get to a real F-14, so might as well use it that way.
@LoneSpaceGaming yes I would love you too, ik my current f-14s are kinda bad, but the ones I have in development are much better
@Robomo119E
You sure? I'm a pretty harsh judge when it comes to Tomcats.
Good!
@LoneSpaceGaming wanna do my Tomcats?
@Drekitty 🤫🤫
WOOO THANKS ANDREW!!!
@StrikerUreka22 I don't know
Why when I push the Activate1 botton the airplane turn left?
