DC Designs (F-14, F-15, F-16 etc)

@tommy Hi, refunds require an actual reason for that refund, as in something that is inherently wrong with the airplane or similar. As the F-14 has been one of the most popular DC Designs aircraft ever released, I don't think it's likely that the airplane is at fault here. What is it exactly that you're not enjoying?

@chunk It was an error in the emissive code in the F-14B which has now been fixed. F-14A was fine, as are all F-15s.

I have also had reports that user's bloom settings were too high ( caused by SU7 re-setting everything ) and that turning them down fixed the issue.

@brettt777 DC Designs makes products for a certain type of customer.....you need to know what to expect. I also dislike the Tomcat (and all their releases) for the reasons you mentioned.
For example, DC Designs have showcased a Concorde for MSFS, it has an FMS which looks like it was taken out of an Airbus. It's not for simmers with an interest in experiencing anything like a real concorde.
On the other hand, the Just Flight Hawk, I LOVE (I suggest you get that, it's really really good).
For a good Tomcat, go to DCS.

@dc1973 ok, thank you!

@currator

Not the PC version, no. You can only get an XBox build via Microsoft.

@dc1973 It 's allright, keep up the good work, I will hear when the manual is updated. I think it is pity for your coder (CodenameJack477 I presume?) if no one takes advantage of all his work, that's all (and of course I am willing the learn the details).

@dc1973 Got it.. will keep an eye out for it.

@dc1973 Got it.. I'll try later for the Avatar and also look for the changelogs.. Thanks again!

@timothyj6767 Stencils and panel lines are modeled into the aircraft on the F-14 so you can't go over them

@mardis I found it in %appdata%..\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages\Official\OneStore\justflight-aircraft-f15\Documents\DCD-F15E

@dc1973 Thank you for the quick reply. So then waiting for the update now...
Just wann say thank you for this great bird... It's a lot of fun so far! Keep up the good work!

@magnus-da-smasher Hi, I use the Tomcats with the HDS carrier all the time so it does work okay. Make sure you have the latest update for the carrier mod though as I know they made some recent changes that included bug fixes.

Beyond that I can't help as the carrier module creates launches and traps, the Tomcat doesn't actually do anything in that regard.

@dc1973 Thanks for the info! Also found the thread on the MS FS forum, alas I cannot respond there, never succeeded in login in there. Will follow the thread there and on Avsim. Looking forward to the updates in the manual :-)

@vograx This is awesome, thanks for the information. My HTML guy is on it and the update has already been installed, it should cover everything but I will check further with him.

@dc1973 Oh no probs at all, glad to be able to share with the community and thanks for picking up on my post, much appreciated ;-)

thanks mate

@tonybero As long as the wings are swept fully forward and the wing sweep cover is down, the flaps should operate normally on the ground. Once airborne, they operate as manoeuvre flaps for air combat, and at higher speeds auto-retract once the wings sweep back.

If this is not happening, then I suspect there is something sim-based that is blocking them, which is currently a thing with MSFS - different people experiencing different bugs. My spoilers would not work on any aircraft for ages for instance, and then suddenly started working again.

I checked the flap movements here and they're operating normally. Drop me another line if nothing works ( try an aircraft re-install too, sometimes that clears up these things ).

@dc1973 Thanks Dean, although my 1st carrier landing attempt wasn't so beautiful xD I botched that one, but got away with it for a successful go around and a safe conclusion with a good trap.
Appreciate your hard work.

@dc1973 Understand, I was a little aggravated at first but I think we can all work together to get it like it needs to be. The biggest thing we noticed was acceleration issues. Have you flown the Eurofighter model yet? Also if you want to do a T38 N version we both have time in that aircraft. Please dont take my comments personal above we are all good, will be really neat for us to be a part of a potential update to the model

Thanks
