Product Description

In September 2006, we provided the simulation community with an aircraft which was arguably one of the best commercial F-14 Tomcat packages to date. It received rave reviews from many and has become a stable airframe for countless Tomcat fans worldwide.

Now, two years later, we have taken on board the many comments they received from our customers and have put together a Tomcat package quite unlike any other.

This new product is now fully FSX Native and designed with FSX in mind! In addition many of the 2D gauges have been removed and replaced with fully 3D gauges in the cockpit allowing for both a boost in frame rates and a far crisper, smoother in cockpit experience.

The sounds have been enhanced from their original package with some new sound samples and recordings for a far more improved audio experience.

The updated animations both inside and out, and the inclusion of the F-14B aircraft are the two most requested additions to this package and author of the IRIS Pro Series F-16D Viper, Michael Haegle has provided a SUPERB F-14B HUD straight from the US Navy NATOPS Manual that is so good, we have included it in both variants!

All this hard work and dedication by the IRIS Team has resulted in what is one of the best F-14 Tomcat products available for Microsoft Flight Simulator.
