All - If you purchased in Market Place, I do not know what you have to do to remove and reinstall it. I do not purchase anything in the MP. Xbox users may only have that option. I’m on pc.
IF not MP, then you downloaded a file, go to Control Panel, add remove programs and remove the plane from the list of programs. Restart PC. Then reinstall the latest version, easy peasy.
Today, I flew this plane, I’m getting better and better at landing it, the new rudder pedals are still causing me some learning issues, but getting better. This is a great plane.

Just gotta say, I still love this plane and it gets probibly between 25-40% of my flight time in it. Just gotta say Thanks Dean for this amazing piece of art. 
Unfortunately it is sad that the F14 was expired before its time, it could have been fully upgraded like other aircraft of the same era (F15, F16, F18), but alas global politics (US-Iran relations) was but another contributing factor in its demise. 
However, it’s amazing that we can keep it alive in this amazing sim we all love (most of the time 
)
And now some pics….
PS: I fly using a Yoke (honeycomb) not a stick…. Blasphemy!!!

All - I use JS, but have been using one for decades and too old to change. Most MIL planes now use JS, instead of Yoke, not all but many of them. Airbus uses one as well, but don’t fly those. I gave consideration to Yoke, but after using the Honeycomb Throttle, decided against that, too big and bulky and do I gain more precision, I did not think I would, in fact, I think I lose it. So I upgraded to the Virpil VFX JS which is exact replica of the A-B model one, some changes in the D model, but not enough to worry about. I do not have all the buttons/switches on it modeled exactly like the one in RL, as not sure if MSFS would allow those customizations anyway. Just have some of them modeled, and not the way the RL plane is anyway.
Verified?
It’s a bug, that’s all.
Ease off buddy.
Don’t report it or ask for support. You will likely get told off with a rude response.
The sounds were done before it was possible to add that, other DC jets since have it. Will most likely be updated this year when the F-14D is added to the package.

Good to hear. What does the D variant improve upon?
The D varient was a more modernised version of the 14. More MFDs than dial, multirole capabilities rather than A2A focused, it didnt have such a long career as the A/B varients.

I just came back to the DC Design F-14 B Tomcat.
I noticed, that they changed some things like the AFCS knobs.
Stab, Aug and Yaw Damper knobs cannot be moved. I think the switches worked some time ago.
Are there patchnotes, where I can see what changes were done?
Sorry, but somehow the F-14 now feels like the MS F/A 18. Only displayed without been simulated properly.
Or am I wrong and those switches were never simulated?
Replied via Discord. F-14 handling is far more realistic without FBW than with it ( which was used to simulate the AFCS system ). It’s nothing like the MS F-18E, totally different handling and aerodynamics.

Back to TACAN topic. I remember using Tacan in Aerosofts F-14x. One could set Tacan Frequencies via a dial in the left Pilot Console. In realtiy one never set any tacan frequency but a common Nav/ILS frequency. The addon translated the TACAN into the Fligh Sim Frequency. One only had to look up the right setting in a charts delivered with tha manual.
I do not know about coding but perhaps this would be possible for the DC Designs F-14 as well. I can give you any information about those frequencies if you like. I only would like to have the NAV Radio disappear in the cockpit and go back to the simulated TACAN radio.

Tacan channels can be entered via the FMC in the RIO position. If we lost the Nav freq input we wouldn’t be able to plot VOR route to anywhere apart from working Tacan stations and not all in sim tacan are actually working. Personally i like the NAV radio in the pilot position as i can navigate the entire globe without having to wake up my RIO
