Screenshots

I can't wait to get my hands on that GAS Stearman! It's looking great in all of your shots, Priller.

Here are a few shots taking one of the F-14's granddads around Duxford/Cambridgeshire.

Love those Big Zoom shots, for some reason it makes it seem more close and personal!
Absolute poster quality Cats, well done.
 
The new F-14 really is an astonishing piece of work. The detail of the dents and undulations on the aircraft skin is totally amazing.

I looked at the PMDG DC-6 in the sim last night and when compared to the Tomcat the textures and modelling look really dated.

Now the pressure is on ASOBO and MS to bring the rest of the Sim up to the same level of detail !!

Who would have thought we'd be in this position a few years ago when we were fiddling around with FSX and P3D!!
 
Looking at the shots of the F-14, it appears to be a bit lumpy and dented around the forward fuselage and nose cone.

Firstly, i think you are certainly to be congratulated with being the first on our virtual planet who dares to speak more or less in sort of a negative or atleast sceptical sense about the IFE/Heatblur Super MasterPiece that is their native MSFS Grumman F-14A/B Tomcat model. More accolades to you. Sir ! :)

Secondly, it is possibly without a shadow of doubt that if you happen to stand next to the real F-14A Tomcat VF-111 Sundowners NL200/161621/1989 "Miss Molly", you will notice exactly the same lumpy and dented appearance of the forward fuselage and nose cone. So when it comes to the F-14 model at hand that's just accurate photorealism at work. And not only that, it is THE VERY BEST photoreal aircraft texturing we can feast our eyes on sofar in MSFS.

Strap yourself in, Paul, and you'll have to admit this gotta be absolutely the next best thing to the real cockpit. I just read somewhere about a flightsimmer who stepped into the VC of the PMDG DC-6 after a flight with the Tomcat and couldn't believe how 'dated' it looked... That says something, doesn't it. :)

Edit: @ collensr: sorry, i didn't realize it was you who thought that about the PMDG DC-6.... ;-)
