@@jemakrol not entirely. The F-14 was a fleet defender, it was meant to get super high, and get super fast. The TF-30's of the 14A actually allowed much better top speed and acceleration at high alt and speed. It was actually the better platform for launching AIM-54's due to the speed and altitude advantage, until the 14D which has the same engines as the B, but a much better radar, increasing the performance of the 54 more dramatically than what the platform of the A offered over the D. The new engines gave it much better overall performance but in terms of its originally intended role, the TF-30's were actually better.
Hey trev something neat about MSFS is that you can look up the filming locations and then go fly there so you can actually do the canyon run or visit the airport where the dark star took off
14:38 this is due to the fact that turning too aggressively can and will break the wings of the Tomcat if handled improperly, sending you tumbling. This is best shown in the Flight Sim/Dogfighting Sim DCS World
Little tip. The little round thing with 3 prongs sticking out left, right and middle up, on your HUD, is where you will touch down when landing, so just aim it where you want to land.
Yeah but the F/A-18 SH have their G limiter off now even F-15s and F-16s. The pilot is the limiting factor now not structural failure or fatigue. So a pilot can only handle 9-9.5 sustained Gs. Any new frame like the 15's EX Eagle II and the 16's Block 70s can take more than the pilot that is also not including the 5th Gens. Fun Fact: The F14-A was underpowered causing the flameout seen in TopGun and what killed Goose. By the time they moved onto the GE F-110 engines with the F-14A+(A variants that got the B upgrades) and then the F-14B and F-14D Super Tomcats (that the F-15K+'s and the F-16 Block 30+ also shared I'm pretty sure and suited very well). With the 14A I think MTW was .55, but with the 14D achieved something like .75 MTW (These are all just rough numbers from memory so I may be off a bit but should be pretty close).
Yes. The A model Tomcat’s TF-30 engines were notorious for compressor stalls, so that’s why you lost an engine. The wings swept back at a certain airspeed, but the pilot had a manual override.
@@Moneylovingman Sure it may not be 1:1 but DCS and Eagle dynamics themselves call it high fidelity and it feels like the real thing. Especially compared to MSFS.
the way you talk about fighter jets makes me think you would like DCS a lot xD its a lot more complicated and way less arcade (no proper 3rd person view and stuff) but the details of the planes and their physics are just amazing! takes a lot of time learning a plane there.. like properly learning how to turn it on and how to use navigation and weapons oc.
Fun fact: the last F-14 ever flown is on Long Island being moved from were it was founded in Grumman to the Cradle of Aviation Museum in Mitchell Field
Yes the F-14 tomcat’s wings automatically retract when they hit certain knots my mom was a jet engine mechanic in the airforce even tho the F-14 tomcat is navy but the tomcat and the F-15 eagle is the same
Tomcats were designed to be interceptors, hence their incredible speed necessitating swept back wings. To dogfight, they would slow down and the wings extend giving them much better maneuverability. Not the most agile to be sure, but still very capable and hands down the sexiest jet ever built.
Wing sweep also enabled a unique feature, it had enough lift with wings unswept to linger in the air around the carrier group with good fuel efficiency, ready to strike incoming air threats without having to get launched from the deck. I don't recall hearing this was a feature that ACTUALLY was used a whole lot, but it was in the requirements form.
Hi Trev if you enjoy flying these jets in MSFS you should try DCS (Digital Combat Simulator). The A-10 is used by some actual A-10 pilots to train, that is how realistic DCS is. You probably won’t get in the air your first takeoff attempt.
@@iaexo yeah. i am currently learning the hornet and after almost 50 hours of flight time I am still learning. Unless he did a start in the air, it would be a whole damn series, not a single episode.
i have the F-15 and F-16 and the turning is pretty good. they did a good job making the F-16 unstable just like real life so it is pretty maneuverable. F-15 is sturdy amd responsive
the f14 wasnt designed for dogfighting like the f18 it was designed fro intercepting bombers at high speed but later they figured out that it could also dogfight to defend itsself
I think the F15C has the edge as the most beautiful fighter. Extremely sleek looking. It was the fastest of them all also, at least up until the F-22 came out, so was my favourite as a kid. With F14 second.
I beg to differ. The F-15 can't hit that magical conventional to a true delta wing configuration like the 14. Nor is it as streamlined design wise. Something about those intake ramps on the 15 that look so ....dated; especially when closed.
@@roblockhart6104 If you look at both of them from the side the F15C is more streamlined than the F14. Looks very sleek. One thing I especially like about it.

I lived in Manhattan during 9/11. The day after the attacks, Air Force fighter jets would regularly fly very low over Manhattan multiple times a day. They were loud and scary, but made me feel safer. YT recommendation engine is messing with me.
The F-14 is one of my all time favorite planes along with the F-22 Raptor. I would say that the F-22 is much better looking than the F-35. My opinion though.
Compressor stall the early Tomcats we’re notorious for that. Killed a few pilots that way. The first navy female fighter pilot Kara Hultgreen died because Her Tomcat had a compressor stall when she over corrected a carrier approach by using to much left rudder.
False. It wasn't her rudder correction. She didn't follow the newly released guidelines on compressor stall which stated to gain proper AOA and NOT use full throttle until that was under control....she used full throttle which essentially locked her AOA making it impossible for correction
@@rcl99tlr65 Just a little further context. When she used too much rudder while trying to correct her approach, she cause a compressor stall. Having an engine stall in an F-14 causes asymmetric thrust which can exceed yaw authority. Exacerbating this condition, she put the single operating engine into afterburner which further overrode the aircraft's yaw authority and the aircraft began to stall as the yaw conditions and slower speed began to roll the aircraft outside of it's flight envelope. Of interest, the aircraft lost (BuNo 160390, call sign "Fast Eagle 102") was one of the two F-14s involved in the 1981 Gulf of Sidra incident in which two F-14s were fired upon by two Libyan Su-22s, which in turn were shot down by the F-14s. RIP Lt "She-Hulk" Hultgreen
@@Danlovestrivium the rudder situation came on due to heavy side winds during carrier approach, so when the engine stalled the proper thing to due was go full AB else you'd hit the boat's rear. The cross bleed valve was sooted up and did not open to re-init the stalled engine and the additional yaw drove the jet over, then when ejecting it was at such an angle that she hit the water surface while the RIO skidded over, being ejecting at a different angle, by design so pilot and RIO did not collide mid-air after ejection. There's much half-knowledge floating about the interwebs on that incident.
The wings that adjust is called your wing sweep if you want to make tight turns pull the wings all the way out, but if you want to go super fast hit the burner and pull them in for less air resistance
Hey trev. I have a series idea that I think you would really love. The premise is people leave airport id’s (or names), and you take off from there and go fly around the area. There are some really exotic places out there with great scenery and lots of unique airports, so I think it would be really cool. (P.s ima leave my airport I’d here and see if you do it lol; PANC)
There is the mach counter at 4:26 which says M1.068 meaning you are going Mach 1.068. It's usually below the speed counter (currently going 702 knots) and the amount of G's you are pulling is under the Mach, and then I don't know about the last part which starts with A-0.4. Hopefully that helps!
The nice thing about Ace Combat 7 is that I get to use all these nice fighter jets and shoot missiles, bullets, and other weapons and watch your targets get destroyed and obliterated. There’s Top Gun Maverick DLC for AC7. It’s freakin awesome!!
Being from NYC and being familiar with the area I am completely mind blown 🤯the graphics and accuracy is beautiful.do you know how there able to recreate the city like that cause the accuracy and architecture of the multi million dollar buildings to the projects are so on point
You’re absolutely right the F-14 Tomcat is the most beautiful looking plane of all time! And it’s incredibly fast for its massive size! Big, badass, and sexy!
Not to pinch Pennies here but as an Air Force aviator, the F-22 is hands down the best fighter in the world, the F-35 is the disposable little brother. F-22 is absolutely on another level than any other aircraft. The more you know🤷🏻♂️
The f-22 is the most deadly aircraft, at $180 million per unit cost america only bought 200 because of the price but also because they said we do not need a craft this deadily any time soon. The f-14 tomcat is by far my favorite plane though when you're going mach 2 with your hair on fire! (F-14 go burrrrrrr) You should loiok into dcs it is a much more advanced version of this flight sim, but this is a good beginer sim.
No, the wings of the tomcat were not automated IRP as far as I understand it. Pilots had full control via a lever. You see Maverick using this lever in Top Gun: Maverick.
The F14-A was notorious for compressor stalls. Excessive throttle movements or extreme maneuvers would cause a disruption of airflow to the engine and would cause that engine to flame out. If the modeling was extremely accurate, it would cause one or both of those engines to fail.
@TmarTn2 The F-14 Tomcat is what Lt Pete "MAVERICK" Mitchell shot down 3 enemy planes with and as a highly decorative Captain, shot down [five] enemy planes, "Makes him an Ace." - as described by Lt. Natasha "PHOENIX" Trace

I think you can manouver better when you fold out the wings. To the left in the cockpit there is a lever (kinda) that is yellow and black. Press it and pull the lever to fold out the wings 👍🏻
If you like fighter jets doing flybys you can go to Pensacola Florida during the Blue Angels offseason they practice twice a week usually in the morning between 8:00 and 10:00
Fun fact: the f 14 had two main variations the first (f 14a) needed full afterburner for carrier launch and was prone to stalls, the 2nd variation (f 14b) had better engines that fixed these problems
Going mach 2 in full afterburner and saying "she dosent like to turn" made me chuckle
Then saying "I think she needs some more speed she isn't wanting to turn" lmao bruh

If you like fighter jets doing flybys you can go to Pensacola Florida during the Blue Angels offseason they practice twice a week usually in the morning between 8:00 and
10:00
As someone who saw top gun maverick before the original I had no idea how cool the f 14 was 😂
Early versions of the Tomcat were prone to compressor stalls, mostly due to too frequently and quick changes to throttle input.
Fun fact: the f 14 had two main variations the first (f 14a) needed full afterburner for carrier launch and was prone to stalls, the 2nd variation (f 14b) had better engines that fixed these problems
Theres 3, theres the d variant
I didn’t count the “super tomcat” or whatever it was called
