Free F-14 Tomcat mission, New carrier skin, Campaign updates

[@indianajon7980]

That's so awesome thanks Greg! Your carrier colours definitely look better to my eye.

[@ReflectedSimulations]

Thanks, glad you like them!

[@lukasikmarcin]

I do to the same with Ctrl+F2 on a carrier and Ctrl+F11 on the ground. With the latter, you can also use Left Alt+K to lock the camera on the eye level. Great campaigns. I have all of the post WW2 ones. I live WW2 either but DCS lacks AI units to make it fully immersive.

[@ReflectedSimulations]

@@lukasikmarcin left alt K, I didn’t know that, thanks!

[@joespeed1952]

THIS! is why you're the best mission and campaign creator for DCS. Period. The attention to detail, the time period correct aircraft liveries, the carrier skin, the music, the voiceovers, everything. I just wish your campaigns were on sale here this week...

[@ReflectedSimulations]

Thanks for the support! :) On campaign sales you can save 2-3 bucks, it's more for big modules where you can save a lot more. E.g. the NTTR map, for which I have something new coming ;)

[@Boots3862]

OMG, now I am going to have to start pulling out the NATOPS for the walk-around. Very, VERY cool find Reflected. The skins (esp the boat) are beautiful! As always, thanks for all of the work--what you do is immensely hard, but you always make it look great and effortless.

[@micahl73]

I recently finished my second playthrough of Fear the Bones (what a fun campaign!) and am now getting my butt kicked in the difficult but immensely rewarding Speed and Angels. As far as immersion, authenticity, and fun-factor, I couldn't ask for more. Same goes for Wolfpack and BNBOB (I own Debden Eagles but haven't played it yet, though I'm sure it's stellar as well). Thanks, Reflected, for giving the Tomcat, Supercarrier, and DCS in general so much love and attention. As a single-player oriented virtual pilot, your work has significantly enhanced my appreciation of DCS and has kept me playing far longer than I otherwise would have.

[@ReflectedSimulations]

Thanks for the kind words and the support

[@ronwood873]

Awesome detail as always! Nice work on the carrier skin color. I was in San Diego this weekend and noticed the carriers now have a much darker gray on the sides than in previous years with "haze gray."

[@ReflectedSimulations]

Interesting!

[@EnigmaticPenguin]

Awesome, I've been looking forward to replaying your Tomcat campaigns and this will push me over the edge! Poor F-14 feels forgotten about these days. I'm still holding out hope for a F-14D at some point to get her on par with the rest of the 4th gens.

[@TheKurgen]

F14D, now that’s a module we need, I would be all in on that.

[@GTRWelsh]

B(U) is possible HB say, D is not gonna happen

[@ReflectedSimulations]

Unfortunately the D used technology that's still classified. But I'm much morel looking forward to the early A model :)

[@sedlo]

That carrier skin looks so good!

[@DanBlake3rd]

Nice work Reflected. Loving the new Supercarrier skin and thanks for the free camera tutorial.

[@brunofagulha]

I use the Object Free Camera in VR and it´s awesome. I can go to the ramp by bus, or any other vehicle, as example, then i do my walkaround before i jump to the cockpit. Our mind is the limit. Thank you for your work to the DCS community. Best regards from Portugal.

[@ReflectedSimulations]

Good idea!

[@McFreddie22]

Awesome. Just bought the tomcat yesterday together with the speed and angels campaign. Can’t wait to learn more about the tomcat

[@ReflectedSimulations]

@@McFreddie22 good luck and enjoy!

[@FJFuentesCO]

You are going to enjoy it! After playing through the campaign I purchased the Documentary "Speed and Angels" on Prime. (Total Aside here:) To be absolutely honest, that documentary is way better than the recent Blue Angels Documentary that is on Prime that had the big name producers behind it.

[@McFreddie22]

@@ReflectedSimulations Thanks so much man. Keep up the great work. Without you, DCS wouldn’t be as good as it is.

[@McFreddie22]

@@FJFuentesCO Oh wow, can’t wait. Speed and Angels is such a great documentary/movie. Haven’t seen the new Blue Angels yet. That’s definitely something I’m gonna have to watch in the coming days. Thanks.

[@manuelgreil4306]

Incredible! Thank you so much for always adding new stuff and goodies to your campaigns, and DCS. 🤙

[@hectiky]

The ctrl+f2 thing confused me until I realized you were referring to *right* ctrl (which I've never tried) instead of left. Thanks for making me aware of this view. I need to experiment with the camera more.

[@ReflectedSimulations]

Yes, it only works with RCtrl

[@pyr0duck676]

Yes!!! I've never heard of the Ctrl + F2 before, but I will definitely start doing that!

[@deividdi5779]

Thanks for keeping the tomcat alive! Any weather, anytime baby!

[@Pricklyhedgehog72]

Awesome stuff! Gonna have to try the camera stuff in VR

[@thelupo9481]

I just finished Fear the bones campaign 😭. Now I have to fly it again with the new carrier skin 😅. Great work, thank you!!!

[@gradycdenton]

I got the Speed and Angels campaign right when it released about a year ago. I'm only 1/2 way through the campaign and struggling lol. One day I'll be able to play through the campaign and get a passing score. It will probably take me another 2 years at this rate. The point is the campaign is so good that it makes me want to put in this much effort.

[@ReflectedSimulations]

Keep it up, you’ll get there

[@dcsdummypilot]

great work, man! Thanks for the tips about the camera!

[@APenRopeApina]

Did you just climb into the phantom and kick Robin Olds out of the cockpit? Man, you must have b*lls of steel! :)

[@ReflectedSimulations]

I grabbed him by the stache haha :D

[@Phvpark]

I just wish you made a rotatory wing training campaign for the Kiowa or the Apache, unfortunately we are not blessed by good creators like yourself

[@ReflectedSimulations]

Thanks, but I know very little about those, I never really fly them.

[@AdmiralQuality]

Those SH-60 models are a blight on every realistic carrier mission in this sim. How have they not updated that yet?

[@ReflectedSimulations]

Yeah those are really overdue for an update

[@AdmiralQuality]

@@ReflectedSimulations Well at least we have high quality B-52 and B-1 models that we're not allowed to use. Nick Grey is an idiot.

[@williamagster8532]

Are these updates already out for the new carrier skin, is this downloaded from user files or will it be included in next DCS World update?

[@hoss3433]

Love the Robin Olds likeness in the F4. Beyond that the Tomvat is my favorite jet in dcs. I'm learning how to fly and play the other ones but the Tomcat A&B both are still my favorite. Hopefully one day we will see the F14D. But thank you for your work and dedication. Keep it up
