I see no reason why anybody should need to post that on this thread. We don’t use Echo 19, the other aircraft belongs to another developer, and the postee has repeat posted his video on other threads also. They had done so already on Facebook the day prior, and got roasted for it there by other users who preferred the Sim Acoustics sounds. They took their post down shortly afterwards. You’d think they had an agenda or something… :laughing:

Seems we have a few new liveries and have you been tweaking the cockpit again Deano?

I am really thankful you don’t use Echo19. The audio on your addons are fantastic.

Echo19 absolutely destroyed multiplayer for me during the last month of MSFS 2020. Their F-18 soundpack is almost a certainty why the MSFS 2024 F-18E has no audio at all for me. Although, I can’t confirm that since 2024 temporarily loads all my 2020 addons from the marketplace and I can’t disable it.

Side note: Personally, I wish the distinctive “Dustbuster” A-10 external sound was a little bit louder. :slightly_smiling_face: Maybe one day you could re use your audio for an S-3 Viking too. :smiley:

I’m sorry. How did we destroy your MP experience? All of our feedback has been nothing but positive in the community at large.

Also: our F-18 sound pack is not compatible with FS24 yet, even loading it in its current form won’t do anything.

No need to bash. If you have genuine and sincere feedback, we always listen to our community members.

This is a bit off topic. I won’t let this thread be taken up by comments of our own work, regardless of whether or not DC wants to use us for audio. They have loyalty with Sim Acoustics and I absolutely honor and respect that.

If you have questions or feedback, please reach out to me directly.

I repurchased this addon as well as all of your other addons from the marketplace.

  • All of your addons have given me the most entertainment in MSFS over the last 4 years.
  • Although I prefer to fly the Heatblur F-14, I still fly this addon too - due to the fictional “moderniized” avionics. I only wish that the “modernized” avionics package included a helmet mounted display :slightly_smiling_face:
  • I am all in with the as needed streaming of addons in MSFS 2024. I am willing to accept the update delay process of the Asobo Marketplace.

Happy Holidays

Tomcats being updated with visible static weapons for the Marketplace, improved undercarriage modeling and increased LOD01 cockpit detailing. Should be available within a week or so.

Thank you DEAN01973 for doing this, the F-14 is by far my favorite aircraft in MSFS. They look absolutely fantastic, especially the Wolfpack paint scheme. I am looking forward to seeing them in the sim. I was wondering, will all three versions of the F-14, the A, B and D be available in the new MSFS 2024 sim? I can’t wait to fly them when they come out.

All will be officially converted eventually, but at this time MSFS2024 is a bit of a mess so I’m waiting for it to settle down. Current MSFS2020 versions work well in MSFS2024 if placed in the Community Folder, but Marketplace customers are dependent on Asobo converting them for us, as we developers have no access to the MSFS2024 Marketplace at this time, so couldn’t convert the aircraft even if we wanted to.

I’m really hoping “DEAN” the developer for this product will improve the external special effects along with cockpit details and external modelling - but what pleases me a lot about his Tomcat is the sound and flight dynamics. I absolutely love those and quite addicted to this bird.

Also, weapons have been added so I’m really going to be glued to FS20 now. Do you think we will be able to engage/fire the weapons at some point?

Doesn’t say anything about external special effects. By the way, the heat haze or signature from both engines start to emit on a cold start even though the aircraft starts one engine at a time. Have you noticed that?

@Batterby76

As you were previously and repeatedly told in the discord, they are standard and stock effects, same as most devs use, smoke is being updated and added to multiplayer visibility but your questions were already answered as many times as you asked them in the discord.

Not sure what you are referring to. I recently picked up your Tomcat and using other fighter jets in the game too such as the Felon and Asobo Hornet - the engine heat haze starts to come out one engine at a time upon cold start.
