U.S. Navy photo · Public domain · US Navy F-14D TomcatThe Tomcat was developed for the US Navy after the F-111B programme ended. Twin engines, widely spaced tails and variable-sweep wings supported fleet defence and, later, strike missions.
Pilot and radar-intercept officer divided the work between two cockpits. Engines, avionics and other systems changed between F-14 versions; the X-Plane documentation describes the model included in that simulation.

The National Naval Aviation Museum identifies its displayed F-14D with a combat sortie from USS Theodore Roosevelt on 8 February 2006, its 224th. The museum’s airframe history gives the preserved aircraft a connection to the final period of U.S. Navy Tomcat operations.
First flight: 21 December 1970 ( 1970-12-21 )
Erie remembered the Tomcat as an aircraft that demanded attention to the stick and throttles, particularly during landing. Flying it also meant working closely with the radar intercept officer behind him. His affection for the aircraft included respect for the effort required from both seats, rather than treating the pilot as the whole crew.
One of his favourite maintenance memories concerned a young sailor who had just arrived after a long journey. A persistent fault had resisted previous attempts to fix it, but the newcomer offered to investigate and found a hidden connector problem. Erie’s recollection gives that practical success as much personality as the flying.
Roustaie first encountered the Tomcat during his training years in the United States. A chance to look inside its cockpit left a strong impression: it seemed roomy and inviting, and he hoped he would eventually fly it. Returning to Iran and flying the F-4E did not displace that ambition.
When he finally reached the F-14’s front seat, the view became one of its strongest attractions. He compared it with the more restrictive feeling he remembered in the Phantom, where looking around could mean moving his helmet against the canopy. He also liked the arrangement of the controls and the cockpit environment.
Mazandarani appreciated the Tomcat’s accessible controls and outward view, comparing the cockpit favourably with the F-5 he had flown earlier. Yet his interview also describes a moment when a familiar aircraft and airfield did not prevent a dangerous loss of awareness. The contrast is part of his own recollection of long operational nights.
Returning to Isfahan in the early morning, he saw another Tomcat in an inverted attitude near the airfield. A calm radio call prompted the other pilot to level the aircraft. Mazandarani connected the episode with fatigue and the need to keep watching what was happening around the crew. The story conveys his concern for a colleague without treating his later explanation as an independently established accident finding.
The Tomcat was developed for the US Navy after the F-111B programme ended. Twin engines, widely spaced tails and variable-sweep wings supported fleet defence and, later, strike missions.
This profile selects DC Designs F-14A Tomcat for MSFS 2020, MSFS 2024.
Artificial feel supplies centering around powered primary controls. The spring stays independent of airspeed. A separate aerodynamic term adds speed-dependent control load.
Documented pitch/lateral trim shifts stick neutral; the profile’s powered-trim option represents that mechanism. Valid trim provides the configured pressure relief. Autopilot following is off.
The F-14 uses powered stabilators and spoilers with artificial feel. Heatblur’s A/B reference describes pitch and lateral trim shifting stick neutral. DLC, wing sweep and automatic slats/flaps are separate functions; MSFS documentation also identifies systems omitted from that rendition.
DC Designs separates TF30-powered A from F110-powered B, with automatic slat/flap and DLC functions documented in its rendition.
The gains are normalized profile settings. They describe the chosen effect balance; hand force depends on the device and its output limits. IAS references are tuning values rather than operating limits. Physical acceptance of this revision remains pending.
施加於模型產出的一切、在裝置上限之前的最終整體輸出縮放。
調高: 一切(彈簧、載荷、效果)一同增強。
調低: 一切一同變柔。
設定理由: Scales overall profile strength while preserving effect balance, subject to device and output limits.
把搖桿拉回中央的基礎回中力。其他所有力都疊加在它之上。太低,正常飛行中搖桿會發軟;太高,它會與你的手較勁,並掩蓋疊加其上的細微提示。
調高: 更硬的回中,更抗手。
調低: 更軟的桿,只靠氣動載荷。
設定理由: Artificial feel supplies centering around powered primary controls. The baseline spring is 0.74. Low-speed spring blending is off.

調高: 更安靜但更松的中央,曠量更大。
調低: 更緊的中央,靜止時可能抖動。
設定理由: Sets travel around the centre before the baseline spring resists. Smaller values engage it sooner.
作用於兩條持續軸載荷的主縮放,在它們各自的獨立平衡之前施加。設定檔通常不動它,而是調校兩條軸載荷。
調高: 兩軸載荷一同加重。
調低: 兩軸一同減輕。
設定理由: The aerodynamic-load gain is 0.25 with an indicated-speed reference of 250 KIAS. The hydraulic-load factor of 0.35 scales that modeled term; it is a selected artificial-feel approximation.
啟用低速彈簧介入視窗(上面的起始/全強度節數)。關閉時彈簧在所有速度下恆定。
設定理由: Allows baseline spring strength to rise with indicated airspeed where the control law permits it.
在靜止、空速尚未產生氣動力之前,彈簧還剩多少。下限高,停機時搖桿結實;下限低,則是停放輕型飛機那種鋼索鬆弛的感覺。
調高: 停機和滑行時桿更結實。
調低: 停機時桿發軟,只隨速度甦醒。
設定理由: Sets low-speed spring strength as a fraction of baseline when blending is enabled. One keeps full strength.
彈簧從低速下限開始向全強度攀升的空速:起飛滑跑中操縱面"甦醒"的那一刻。
設定理由: Sets the IAS where the low-speed spring blend starts rising. This is a feel threshold, not a flight limit.
彈簧達到全強度的空速。從起點到這裡,隨著氣流在操縱面上增強,回中逐漸變硬。
設定理由: Sets the IAS where the low-speed blend reaches baseline strength; high-speed stiffening also uses it.
氣動載荷達到設計滿值的指示空速。它把整條載荷曲線錨定在飛機真實的速度範圍:172在110節就載滿,噴氣機要晚得多。
調高: 載荷來得更晚;桿輕到更高速度。
調低: 載荷來得更早,巡航更沉。
設定理由: Sets the IAS reference for aerodynamic loading. It is an estimate, not published cruise TAS or a flight limit.
在偏轉載荷之外,回中本身隨速度變硬的程度。零則中央手感恆定;越大,巡航時回中越硬,起落航線上越松。
調高: 中央隨速度明顯變硬。
調低: 任何速度下中央手感恆定。
設定理由: The high-speed spring-stiffening gain is 0. No additional speed-driven stiffening is added; this does not disable independent aerodynamic loading.
速度驅動的中央變硬上限,防止高速飛行把彈簧無限上緊。
調高: 高速允許更多總硬化。
調低: 硬化更早封頂。
設定理由: Limits the squared airspeed ratio used for high-speed spring stiffening; it is not a device-force cap.

設定理由: Roll and pitch aerodynamic scales are 0.72 and 1, respectively. They set the aerodynamic axis balance. No custom spring-travel curve is enabled.
由升降舵偏轉和空速產生的持續俯仰載荷,獨立於橫滾調校。這是決定機型俯仰重量的主槓桿。它不影響副翼、彈簧、配平或抖振力。
調高: 速度下持續俯仰力更重。
調低: 升降舵更輕,握持更省力。
設定理由: Scales pitch aerodynamic loading; pitch spring travel and trim responses are separate settings.
每個穩態俯仰或橫滾力到達裝置前的上限,防止猛烈機動中砸擊或飽和硬體。
調高: 削波前更高的穩態力峰值。
調低: 更柔的上限;猛烈機動更早被抹平。
設定理由: Caps directed-force output. Native spring effects and device limits remain separate.
升降舵配平緩解持續俯仰力、移動桿的安定位置的強度。在100 %時,配平得當的飛機不需要保持壓力——正是真實飛行中"用配平消掉載荷"的流程。
調高: 配平消掉更多持續力;100 %時滿配平可完全抵消。
調低: 即使配平也仍要持續用力。
設定理由: Documented pitch/lateral trim shifts stick neutral; the profile’s powered-trim option represents that mechanism. Pitch authority 0.3 provides load relief and permitted centre movement; roll authority is 0.1.

調高: 橫滾配平消掉更多持續力。
調低: 橫滾配平作用更小。
設定理由: Scales supported roll-trim relief and permitted centre movement. Zero removes roll response.
由輪速和地面型別(鋪裝、草地、礫石)產生的滾動振動。
調高: 桿上更強的地面質感。
調低: 更平滑的滑行。
設定理由: Sets rolling texture strength, modified by speed, surface and undercarriage configuration.

調高: 接縫與車轍的衝擊更清晰。
調低: 更柔的地面細節。
設定理由: Sets gear-bump texture during ground motion, separate from touchdown impact.
接近失速及失速警告響起時的機體抖動:這副機翼宣告不滿的音量。斷失乾脆的機型抖振收斂,讓喇叭承擔警告。
調高: 更強的失速前顫抖。
調低: 更含蓄的機翼;警告交給喇叭。
設定理由: Sets stall-buffet strength. Zero removes the cue without changing simulator stalls or warnings.
接近馬赫極限的跨音速抖振。對接近MMO的噴氣機有意義,對到不了那裡的活塞機和渦槳機為零。
調高: 接近馬赫極限時更強的跨音速抖振。
調低: 高馬赫下更平滑的飛行。
設定理由: Sets high-Mach buffet strength; onset and full-strength thresholds are separate.

調低: 更含蓄的抖桿器。
設定理由: Sets triggered shaker strength; inactive while the shaker feature is disabled.
機輪觸及跑道那一下的單次衝擊,按下沉率縮放:輕柔著陸是耳語,結實到達是一記悶響。
調高: 觸地時更硬的一擊。
調低: 更柔的到達。
設定理由: Sets landing-impact strength; landing telemetry and response shape determine the pulse.
反推或槳葉beta區工作時的滑跑振動。無反推機型為零。
調高: 反推下更粗糙的滑跑。
調低: 更含蓄的反推。
設定理由: Sets reverse-thrust vibration with valid reverser and engine conditions. Zero removes the cue.
從慢車到全功率跟隨轉速的持續動力裝置振動——前方有東西在燒油的永恆提醒。
調高: 桿裡更多引擎。
調低: 更含蓄的引擎。
設定理由: Sets estimated engine vibration using configured telemetry and response, not measured cockpit vibration.
僅在模擬器報告襟翼舵面確實移動時的持續振動。它跟隨真實作動器的運動和故障,而非估算的計時器。
調高: 襟翼移動中更多振動。
調低: 更含蓄的襟翼行程。
設定理由: Sets texture from observed flap movement; a command without movement does not establish the cue.
自動駕駛指令可以讓桿實際移動多遠。在MSFS中保持極小,因為移動的軸可能被讀回為飛行員輸入;零則完全停用跟隨。
調高: 自動駕駛讓你的桿移動得明顯更多。
調低: 幾乎察覺不到的跟隨。
設定理由: Sets admitted AP-follow gain, not a percentage of travel. Runtime ownership and input limits still apply.
