I had this one in the making for a long time...

This is a modification of EngineerOtaku's Grumman F-14D Tomcat. By far the definitive variant of F-14 Tomcat.

Features Includes:
1. New cockpit design with instrument panels for both pilot and RIO.
2. Accurate air-to-air loadout for interception missions.
3. A hydraulic piston for raising the main cockpit view when the gears are down.
4. Added US Navy roundels and markings on the fuselage and wings.
5. Added a catapult launch bar on the nose gear.

Main Controls and Activation Groups:
A & D = Ailerons
W & S = Elevators
Q & E = Rudder
G = Landing Gear (also Activates the Guns)
AG1 = Arrestor Hook
AG2 = Wings Swing Back For Storage
AG3 = Flaps Down
AG4 = Air Brakes
AG5 = Jettison Fuselage Fuel Tanks
AG7 = Catapult Launch Bar Down
