This freeware package contains the NBAI Grumman F-14 Tomcat Naval, created by Nick Black and converted for P3D by the team of Mason Curling. The converted models should give you better frame rates in P3D and ensures that the NBAI Grumman F-14 Tomcat Naval displays correctly in P3Dv2-6.

Together with the converted models, this package also contains converted textures for all related paints that MAIW ever released. We have converted the textures to DDS format with DXT5 compression and mipmaps for the best possible performance. Read the included readme for more information and installation instructions.
