Well, she definitely purrs.
Went through the complete startup before taking her up from Miramar for a first checkout. I am deeply impressed so far. The visuals are next level, Jester implementation looks like a very appropriate replacement of an EFB and the systems feel great. Had a minor hiccup in the last 10% of the voice assisted preflight checklist, don't know if that was just me, though.
Now, off to the sea trials.

Finally, an F-14 this sim deserves. Great job IFE and HEATBLUR.

If you have it in DCS, you can get a $10 discount if you buy it from Heatblur's store.
(But since I have it in DCS, and I have Dean's F-14A/B/D, I'll likely pass unless y'all rave so much I can't hold back.)
Thanks for the heads-up. I just emailed their support with copy of my receipt for their DCS version. Looking forward to flying this in MSFS! NC
Bought it, but all downloads failed, and now can't download anymore, grrrr
Ticket sent...

As DennyA mentioned, you can get a $10 discount if you purchased the DCS version. I applied for the discount and received it almost instantly. The download is 4GB and that went flawlessly. Ready to fly. The DCS version is so good, I have to fly it in MSFS. I also have Dean's version and it is also very nice. The price is so good, I couldn't turn it down. One can't have to many CATS.

I'll get my copy through Orbx. I like to keep my installs simple.
Bought it of course, who could've even dreamed it would come to this state of the art eventually, but now i'm very much looking forward to GAS to release their Stearman.....
(ok, i've got Dean's Stearman as well, got Dean's Tomcat too so gotta go with the flow you know )
Check this out and particularly the openings scene (ITB NEVER said WOW!! in the title of his review. There's always a first time...) https://youtu.be/wCzfr1OcNTg?si=-mR-PuiJXDO0gPu5
For the time being i can't get the ground power et all to materialize (via Jester), just the wheelchocks and that's only for starters (pun intended). Not sure about the awful racket in the cockpit, almost can't hear a word Jester is saying. Lots of so called tutorial videos but can't make heads nore tails out of any of 'em, not even ITB's (but he's the most helpful). I hope a good simple written tutorial will appear eventually. (if you know about such a written tut (not re the DCS version) i'd be very interested and thankfull!)
LOVING IT NONTHELESS NO DOUBT YOU BET !!!!!!
@ Seahawk : dunno if it's the Ranger but a carrier does come with the IFT/HB Tomcat package. Haven't seen it myself yet, that'll probabely take a while, but check out the video above, at the end of it he will do a successful trap on the carrier that's included in the package. Looks as detailed as your screenie above but i guess it's not the Ranger (i believe 59 is the number on the island ? )

ITB says in his introduction the he will recover on the USS Forrestal.
I purchased my copy from SimMarket. Fast download and installation via their installer. Have not checked it out, yet. Looking forward to it.

Dangit. You guys are going to talk me into it.
Probably preorder the DCS F-4 while I'm at it. Only $5 more to get an awesome Phantom t-shirt.
would there be a paintkit available, does anyone know?

That's right, Don, thanks. Too much too interesting info to remember. ;-) The complete carrier including list : CV-59 USS Forrestal, CV-60 USS Saratoga, CV-61 USS Ranger, CV-62 USS Independence.
There's no carrier crew interaction but i seem to remember having seen that in another carrier add-on. Possibly payware. Does anybody know about that ? ( could be mistaking with DCS, some time ago, can't remember exactly..)
Didn't know about SimMarket offering it already. Would've prefered that to buy from. Now i have another one of those Download/Installer proggy's on my desktop. (Contrail) GrrrrrrrrI purchased my copy from SimMarket. Fast download and installation via their installer.
A start up walk thru, followed by a take off and finishing with a carrier landing.
