Lots of obvious and unavoidable references to a certain movie in the release thread.

I have P3D version. Fleet Defender by Microprose was one of the first flight simulations I have ever 'played', so this addon brings lots of good memories.

 

What I like

- Very detailed exterior and interior model.

- Very nice flight model - it spins, stalls, swings during slow flight, you can flare it before touchdown.

- Updated Kitty Hawk with reworked FLOPS lightning. You can install this as a gauge to work with any of your airplanes.

- Found new 'bush flying' meaning - forget about boring landings in the middle of jungle, land A2A C182 on Kitty Hawk!

- Landing on carrier is very difficult, but once you start practicing, you see you're getting better and better.

- Great manual with real Tomcat drivers stories and flying tips included.

- It seems to be very FPS friendly.

 

What I don't like

- Sometimes P3D crashes (but this doesn't have to be fault of f14X).

- HUD 'sun effect' is too strong and looks artificial. You can't see anything through it.

- No animated Goose in the RIO seat :unsure: .
