DEANO1973: Thanks for the info.
O = Velocity Vector. Got it. “you can plant it on the white lines at the start of the runway and land right there” I will definitely give that a try. I tend to come in almost short of the runway every time.
Lets talk Ball. As I approach it’s green, then it goes red and it looks like the red is to the right. Is it the same as a runway? Red = Dead to low. If I come in too high, will it show white?
Thanks again. 
Green and centred means you’re bang on the approach. Red to either side means you’re drifting left or right, red ball means you’re too low, white might be too high but haven’t seen it yet myself.
“If its GREEN your landings clean”
If its red your pilots dead 
What I noticed on my morning flight from FL - JFK. OMG!!! checkout that smoke trail. Again! Sorry for the poor photo, It was taken on my living room wall @ 150+ inches. I may go VR. 
This is why I will not hesitate to buy from DC Designs. Attention to details, AWESOME!! support, updates and an overall feeling that it’s not just about the money. When I was having problems they could have said “Go check the manual” but they took the time to help. 
Green = Clean. I like that. lol
Red = Dead. I don’t like that. lol
Note: Bought the hotas warthog throttle yesterday. Getting ready for the A-10 release.
great! so the F14 works with the arresting hook and catapult launch of the free carrier?
Yes, update being sent out this week with many other improvements also.
right, somehow justflight don’t have the update yet
LOL! It’s not there yet - as I said, being sent out this week.
Dean,
Will there be an easier way to switch to the RIO view (to be able to interact with the FMC) rather than having to go to the Camera window from the drop-down menu and then selecting Copilot while in that menu? Anything that can be bound?
I saw that the custom camera view can be set if you take out the pilot and copilot models, but is there another way possible as well?
Thank you.
Oh yes please!
I’m not sure actually, you’d have to look through the control binding options but I think it’s probably that there is a “cycle view” button available which might make it quicker and easier.
It seems to have been broken for a long time now. The Toggle Copilot View binding used to work many updates ago, but has been broken for more than a year. I found a thread about it.
DC Designs F-14 Tomcats v1.0.4 sent to Just Flight and Marketplace.
Changelog
Wing-sweep animation further improved for visibility in multiplayer
Crew visbility also improved in multiplayer ( Pedestal Light Switch )
Nose Wheel Steering switch added ( control column )
Tail hook animation and functionality fixed for full moving-carrier operations
Velocity vector in HUD accuracy improved for carrier landings
“Bomb mode” added to both F-14A and F-14B as per real life
F-14B VF-101 “Grim Reapers” livery added
Gear contact points further improved for accuracy
AFCS system improved for improved safety in low speed flight
Navigation panel added to RIO seat controls for improved in-flight options
DLC switch now engaged automatically on gear-down selection
Sorry, haven’t been following the full thread, but by “Tail hook animation and functionality fixed for full moving-carrier operations” are you saying that the F-14 now works with the default carrier with the Jayshrike mod?
Looking forward to this update hitting Xbox marketplace in about 10 days time 
Now the tail hook us back in action i can get back to carrier landings on the USS G.W Bush
Cheers Dean you the man o7
that’s what he’s saying exactly - the Tomcat works with the moving carrier mod
Thanks @FusionHorse151
Just Flight just emailed that the Tomcat v1.04 is ready - I have installed it but not flown it yet
I just installed it and am having great difficulties with it. It seems like many of the key bindings that had previously worked, no longer work. The binding to set to GPS navigation instead of NAV mode is no longer toggling back and forth. You have to click on the in-cockpit button. Same for Altitude Hold - can’t toggle outside of the cockpit buttons (neither the toggle setting nor the on/off settings). Same for the LNAV activation. It looks like it tries to toggle for half a second and then turns back off.
Once you select GPS mode on the nav mode selector and activate LNAV mode as well as altitude hold through the panel buttons, the altitude indicator goes to 00000 and there’s no way to increase it, either through hardware buttons nor through the spinning dial in the cockpit.
I think a lot of this might be caused by the new FMC function? It looks nice to be able to see the waypoint information a la an FMC, but you can’t input new waypoints or alter the flight plan, that I could figure out.
Previously, this was a rock solid aircraft for IFR flight under autopilot. Hopefully it can be again!
Thank you.
Sorry it’s not working out as you’d hoped. Many of the NAV functions originally present in the Tomcats were not in the real airplane, so we are in the process of removing them. AP is rarely used in fighters and the F-14 had only a fairly basic AP and the ACFS system. Mostly the AP is being optimised for night carrier landings rather than general use, but @CodenameJack447 might be able to say more about this as he codes and prepares the Tomcat’s systems now.
