Also, just in case it's not clear to you (it wasn't to me), the preorder is at store.heatblur.com

Cost is on sale $70.

It can be kind of hard to find with all of the damn t-shirt boxes to sort through. Lame on that. ::)

Was there a release date mentioned? I don't believe I saw that.

All they have said is, "winter". Hopefully that means before the end of March.

Ah, ok.

You know, I think I'm going to wait then. For $10 savings, I'd prefer to just let this release and let the reviews come in before I commit. I mean, I know I'm going to commit at some point, but I'm skeptical regarding anything DCS-related that is early release.

It looks absolutely stunning, for sure.

I'm downloaded 2.5 this afternoon. If I can get it all set up and working, perhaps I'll treat myself to the F-5 or something to tide me over.

i saw some people speculate since Tomcat's original first flight date was 12/21/70.....maybe it comes this year on that date?

Hornet is a very versatile platform.

Soz. I haven't been too prolific on here of late. I saw it and got excited and thought the love should be shared post haste :)

Ummmm. Why is it carrying bombs?

Edit: Ok so it looks like it did during at the later stage of it's like to make it relevant.

The F-14B is also known as the "Bombcat". The F-14A is the "Top Gun" star.
