you know, i was going to download this beautiful aircraft, but those damn skull and crossbones looks darn silly! i wish they make a version without all that crap on it. the craft looks awesome, but that design needs to go, make it the same color as the rest of the aircraft.

I love the skull and crossbones!!! they are there because an accual squadron uses them in the navy, the jolly rogers. I would like them to make it a little more like the jolly rogers' tail design and other marking but this thing is great!

i just tested it, it must be an early early beta. wheels are in the wrong place, odd tubes stuck to side of the engines, and when the flaps are fully extended and you put the gear up, POOF, you get an invisible plane. wonder woman jet has some competetion now. hey, who are those people squating at 10,000 feet?
as far as the tail, i think its from a "jolly Roger" sqdrn.

yeah, i know it's from the "jolly roger" sqd., but for the game it looks stupid (IMO). i think it takes away from the aircraft itself. i say create it without those markings and let the person who downloads it decide what he wants on it, that's all i'm saying. it still is great work, but i hope they come out with a different version also.

Hi
I get the same problem but only when I prolly reach the end of the map that the plane(s) get invisible. I thought it was one of the addons I used or the F14 but all my planes dissapear reaching the end of the map I think it`s a 1.85 BUG thats why I did`t say something about it :-\
I hope it was the F14 else I need to get rid of the 1.85 or wait for the next 1.85 patch

Hi
I flew around to west ,east north and south with a Tornado Only towards the south the plane stays endlessly visible. So it must be the 1.85 patch, because I took the F14 out of the addons folder

Hey love that plane, It owns in air to air. In opflash and RL. Anyways, one thing you REALLY should change is the fact that it can't brake for shit when its on the ground, it really takes a long, long time to get that thing stopped. Otherwise that plane is great, my new favorite.
Now all someone needs to make is Tom Cruise. And some nice Russian planes to shoot down. 8)

:D somethings missing like a seat for radar man in the back, the f-14 tomcat is a double seatet plane. But it looks real good

i love the airplane. and i made my own textures for it cause yours were like white for somereason with my geforce 4. but its a good job, only things you really need to do is make the wings come out a lil more. and you need for the cockpit a working virtical display mount like on the tornado,and it needs a lil cockpit work on it. but its a drool mod.

F/A-18D Superhornet...thats what you'd really want.
Another question for the author of the F14, is it a A, B, C or D variation?

hey who is making the hornet, i would like to know. I like the F-14 besides to things the engines are supposed to be black, the scull should be a ghost, they are the elite F-14 tomcat fighter pilots, and were is the light under the nose.

its not a light its a 100x camera so they can indentify targets beyond visual range its specificly designed to allow them to engage targets with phoenix missles (max range 100 useful rage more like 50-60)..as for the tail i also agree its lame..also tho its labelde f14a so thats the varient but its total loadout is 6 sidewinders which is moronicly unrealisitic cuz the f14 sucks a nut in a dogfight. its made to be a interceptor like the mig 31. None of the standard loadouts i know of are all sidewinders tho I'm sure you COULD do it you'd just be dead :p Also the cannon is a 20mm vulcin not a 30mm aden that it has in this version. I bet the real release or next beta will clear all this up tho for a beta its nice. I also noticed its a wee bit slow too. F14s are fast (whole interceptor thing..) now they just need to finish the carrier addon and throw some of these babies up on em. I'd also like to see a RIO position and allow him to pan the camera like a turret to target the missles beyond visual range and off the center axis like in real life.
