Hi All,

I have just bought IRIS F-14A Tomcat v 1.5 and have a few questions related to it. Please, answer the following:

-      Is IRIS Tomcat v 1.5 ready for carrier operations? If yes, than which carrier add-on (freeware or pay ware) is most suitable (both working AND looking good)?
-      Has anyone else found the rudder very hard to operate? Is there a way to alter it’s sensivity other than just sensivity and noll-zones? BTW, I use rudder pedals and still it makes me go mad trying to keep the plane on the strip during take offs… :/
-      On this picture http://www.flightsim.com/review/iristom/autosweep.jpg I can see the MFD in a mode I can’t switch to in game. The upper MFD simply becomes the lower one and vice versa. How can I do it?
-      Is there any kind of radar in IRIS F-14A/FS in general? Can I search and track other AI controlled aircraft in the game? How?
-      Is there a way to assign my Saitek X52 rotaries to operate wing sweep mechanism, flaps, spoilers and wheel brakes in the IRIS F-14A? Assigning them in the game settings didn’t bring any results.
-      Is there a way to allow mouse look in the virtual cockpit, at least till I get my TrackIR…?
-      Is there a program available for FS that “creates” an AI controlled aircraft of the same type, following me as my wingman?

-      Is there a way to tweak the visual aspect of the FS9? Add better textures and e.g. allow both “water quality” and “land & water” options to be on full at the same time? (right now I can’t set them both on max, one of them must be on medium… :/)

I hope You’ll help with the above mentioned problems.
Regards –

1. Yes it is ready for carrier ops, and i suggest flight deck 4 or 3 by abacus.
( www.abacuspub.com
2. No. I have not found it hard to operate. You could get Air-Ed (Freeware) (on Simv!!!) and edit the sensitivity.
3. I have no clue what the, oh wait, mfd multi function display, ok i dont know cause i dont mess wit it.
4. Nope, no radar, there is a way to see ai and multiplayer on fs(2004 only that i know of) and its a program called ATCRadar screen v5.0.
5. i dont have the x52 joy, but didnt it come with a profiler? you could assign a(n) keystroke/axis for either then use profiler.
6. for '04, not that i know of, but for x there is if you right click in game and press mouse view or i thin if you hold spacebar then move mouse.
7. no but i hear there is a typhoon that does that in the model.
8. I dont know about editing fs, as i am not that geekish.

(please excuse my poor grammar.)
