Dino to release Tomcat

Welcome to Monday.....the most dreaded day of the week. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and spent it with the ones you love. I know I did for sure.

Good news today! Dino Cattaneo says that he is ready to release his F-14D to the public. He states on his blog that "I've just finished compiling a build that I consider "good for release". I think the visual model is Ok, the flight model does its job and the cockpit is working. I am not completely satisfied with the cockpit quality level as it is full of bugs: some buttons are still inoperative, or mapped incorrectly and some gauges do not work as they should. BUT, as it is unlikely I will have enough time to fix those bugs in the next couple of weeks I have decided to release it as is."

I believe Dino will probably release a series of service packs just like he has done with his T-45C Goshawk. Good things take time to make. Take your time with it Dino, Im sure it will be just as great as your Goshawk. I cant wait to take the Tomcat up tomorrow. I think I may take her to my old stomping ground, NAS Oceana and head to Fentress for some FCLPs before considering taking it out to the carrier. I will post a download link once it is availible to the public.

I just found out today that IRIS Simulations is in going to be adding a new addition to their Pro Series. They are adding the F-16D Fighting Falcon. I havent got word on a release date yet but I did find a YouTube video which you can watch HERE. IRIS is also adding a new division to their company called IRIS AudioworX. You can check it out on the link provided above.
