@TheAviator77 made a beautiful Tomcat and I decided to modify it to my liking, so with permission, here it is.

Craft Instructions are present in game but are as follows;

Activation Groups
1. Jettison Weapons
2. Jettison Tanks
3.
4. Formation Lights
5. Airbrake
6.
7. Arresting Hook
8. (Inverted*) Wing Sweep for when Static

*AG 8 is inverted, meaning when on (by default) the wings are swept forward with flaps and slats deployed for takeoff. DO NOT DEACTIVATE AG 8 WHILE IN FLIGHT or you will probably crash and burn.

I approximated fly-by-wire for a more realistic flight envelope although it's not representative of the real F-14. Custom Missiles.

Flaps, Slats and wing sweep are all automatic based off of TAS

Thanks to TheAviator77 for this beautiful build and permission to re-work.
