Notification popped up. "Heatb..." Clicked on it. Ain't no time for delays.

[@RelaxSimmer]

Did you write this comment while the intro was rolling out and then missed out first 15 seconds and then rewinded back 10 seconds just in case and thus losing time just like i'm doing now?

@Tom Tremayne I think it's probably going to be more than beta, in the traditional sense anyway.

[@Pondimus_Maximus]

The wear and tear of the textures is absolutely amazing! 😀

[@missingcat9293]

Yes, it also reminds me of a "Star Wars universe" worn and battle-scarred aesthetic. If DCS made an X-Wing, this is the way to do it ;)

[@Void304]

I get tingly when I look at this module. DCS has always been pretty, but this...you can almost reach out and touch it. Very much looking forward to seeing it through the eyes of virtual reality.

[@attilafarkas2830]

I hope there will be less weared cockpit textures. Most of it looks fine but some panel looks a bit too "used" . Its like an instrument of a plane I expect to see in a museum.

[@MongooseTacticool]

Possible, skin makers will make newer ones. The plane in the video was made in 1975! So it's a bit worn. www.anft.net/f-14/f14-serial-04.htm#80 159437 F-14A VF-142 VF-32 AE203 AC202 07/1975 04 Jan 1989: this a/c downed a Libyan MiG-23

@@pilotguy1141 - This was for the A-10C ADD-On which really was the reason for me to get DCS years ago. But, the original video is on Matt Wagner's page and eventually became a formal employee for DcS if I am not mistaken. His station has an updated version, but seeing this video after last remembering only Xplane & MSFS and then this literally made me cry. It was like a dream for simulation beat my childhood expectations (now with Oculus Rift, I could never have imagined.) ttps://kzbin.info/www/bejne/eaCbfX6AnZuLmZI

Mmmmm, them crispy transitions

[@bensmith7536]

I have not anticipated with so much excitement, anything in the flight sim genre as I have this release..... I even bought the Mirage before i realised it wasnt Heatblur..... never mind, minor setback, Viggen will be next purchase, my favourite 80s aircraft when i was a kid, I even traced outlines onto cereal box carboard to make a chuck glider such was my addiction. And I used to play the Dynamix Aces Pacific / Europe series back in the day, so Ive waited a while for these gifts from the God of Simulations.... Cannot wait..... :D EDIT: I have a new mboard, ram and cpu waiting to plug in when its ready.... damn the expense, I will have what i need !!!

[@Fox-86]

Loving the soundtrack... I'd listen to it... Anytime Baby😉

[@KuvDabGib]

If it is gonna take another 2 years, no ty

[@redtailpilot]

Incredible! Really looking forward to it. The soundtrack is awesome! You guys definitely picked the right person to provide the music. Meteor is amazing. I listen to his music daily.

Don't forget to watch The Final Countdown afterwards.

[@unsaved013]

i just watched Top Gun again a couple weeks ago, all it did was make me want the F14 even more. well that and laugh at the "Mig 28s"

[@GER-Thorgs]

I cant say it often enough. I love your Sound design :)

[@hvymtal8566]

Coming from the A-4, it's very surprising to me just how much the cockpit layout and controls are, despite the over 10 year gap between them!

[@YaoSen]

From where I live, winter has already ended.

[@shd4618]

Why the frick would someone downvote this. Keep up the good work HB and Jabbers.

[@KuvDabGib]

I down voted it for start, i never gave money to heatblur so i can watch YT videos instead playing my own module after their promised deadline. Couldnt care less for YT, release something , then we can talk is it trash or not. And until then BOOOOOO heatblur for lying to your own customers.

[@FlyersAviation]

Great Video Heatblur Simulations! Liked

[@JorgeHFJ]

Wow... Incredibly detailed! =o

[@ronaldwatson1951]

[@razorseal]

release it alreadyyyyyy aaaarrrrrggghhhhh. too good!!!!

[@0Ignition0]

120 days since the pre purchase and no RIO cockpit apart from some recent screenshots.

[@karlskidmarx9316]

@heatblur I've spent the last ~2+ years in mourning because the F14B is so wretched STR/ITR/TWR/lift-wise in BFM. Also the fragile flap damage model neutered it below 300kts. When you guys frailized/fragilized the F14B flaps and it went from being so awesome at BFM to being so wretched at BFM, part of me died.

[@Razgriz0111]

Ahhhhhh I remember flying this for the first time. Controls were not set, couldn't ever look around with the mouse, so I ended up just randomly clicking trying to get the camera to turn. I said screw it and went to hit what I thought was the throttle and take her up to max altitude. Well throttle I did not and so I quickly started to lose speed. Also I was pitching to the right a bit, thinking that wind was a factor, I pressed on. I thought out loud at one point, " what would happen if I flat spinned this thing?" Soon enough, I was spinning right and dropping like a rock. Thanks to replay, I seen what I had dont. I had hit the RIGHT SIDE FUEL CONTROL SWITCH. I was doomed from the start...

[@jonnie2bad]

The heads up display, the information shown while in flight, is that something a pilot really sees in real life, or is that just for the simulator and the player?

Fantastic, loved that it's short and straightforward. Question, Are we gonna get the new carrier? Remember some wip pics you shared in Facebook.

[@basicallyoperate]

Lucky for the Navy that you guys didn't make a family model super hornet module or they won't be getting as much pilot applications as they do now lol. Jokes aside, great work. Not a fan of the tomcat at all but ordered it just because all the details and the Jester AI.

[@ImmortalityYT]

Very nice.

[@craigh1790]

I know its not, but the wait just seems punitive at this point. Based on the state of the module compared to other early access releases, there is absolutely no reason to further delay other than because they can.

[@AvengerBB1]

Yeah.... The longer they take, the less interested I become. It really feels like they're either dragging it out on purpose, or they weren't truthful with how far along they really were.

[@HeatblurSimulations]

We're so close now! Hang in there!

[@NyteStalker89]

So, you would rather them not iron out issues that may have popped up, that would possibly ruin your experience with the jet? What if its an implimentation or optomization issue? Would you rather have those than as a bug free as possible product? What if they are finalizing things in the back so you can have a friend ride along? Point is, there is alot of unkown things on our side of this beast of a module. Be patient.. Or you know, we could have another Hornet style release where you can kinda fly it with dumb bombs and aim 9's for a few months.. Which is what would happen if they would "just release it already" like a lot of people have been saying for damn near a year now. I'll take a fully formed module over the mess that was/is the Hornet and will be the soon to not be release "Viper" :)
