The Grumman F-14 Tomcat is an American carrier-capable supersonic, twin-engine, two-seat, twin-tail, all-weather-capable variable-sweep wing fighter aircraft. The Tomcat was developed for the United States Navy’s Naval Fighter Experimental (VFX) program after the collapse of the General Dynamics-Grumman F-111B project. A large and well-equipped fighter, the F-14 was the first of the American Teen Series fighters, which were designed incorporating air combat experience against MiG fighters during the Vietnam War.
The F-14 first flew on 21 December 1970 and made its first deployment in 1974 with the U.S. Navy aboard USS Enterprise (CVN-65), replacing the McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II. The F-14 served as the U.S. Navy’s primary maritime air superiority fighter, fleet defense interceptor, and tactical aerial reconnaissance platform into the 2000s. The Low Altitude Navigation and Targeting Infrared for Night (LANTIRN) pod system was added in the 1990s and the Tomcat began performing precision ground-attack missions.
The Tomcat was retired by U.S. Navy on 22 September 2006, supplanted by the Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet. Several retired F-14s have been put on display across the US.

This product is the culmination of over 5 years of intense development by Heatblur, drawing from an additional 4 years of community feedback from DCS, combined with the excellent knowledge of the MSFS platform from IndiaFoxtEcho, and aims to be the most intense Tomcat experience possible.

F-14 by Heatblur and IndiaFoxtEcho includes and models both the F-14A and F-14B Tomcat, equipped with the Pratt & Whitney TF-30 and General Electric F110 engines respectively. Deeply researched flight models and systems accurately recreate the performance and feeling of flying this powerful navy fighter.

Features:

• Extremely detailed 3D models
• F-14A and -B variants included, with a total of 37 accurate liveries
• Realistic flight model and avionics
• “Jester” module to emulate presence of a RIO in the backseat
• Detailed models of Forrestal-class carriers (static sceneries) included (see Documentation)
