Dear all,

We are proud to announce that DCS: F-14B(U) will be released on July 22nd, 2026!

For those of you who fly on Steam, we are also happy to announce that the Steam pre-order is now live.

The DCS

F-14B Upgrade is Heatblur’s return to the Tomcat in one of its most capable, most exciting, and most evolved forms.

Built as an expansion for existing DCS

F-14A/B Tomcat owners, it takes the aircraft you already know - big, loud, physical, charismatic and unforgiving - and carries it into the last phase of its operational evolution.

This is the Tomcat after decades of adaptation: still a fleet defender, still an air-superiority fighter, still unmistakably raw and alive in your hands, but now modernized for the era of precision strike and modern warfare.

With the VDIG-R and modernized HUD, PTID, JDAM and GBU-31 integration, EGI navigation, DFCS, ALE-47 countermeasures, FTI, updated cockpit and exterior art, new mission-planning tools, extensive JESTER improvements, new in-game browser features, instant action missions and campaign content, the F-14B Upgrade is not a replacement for the Tomcat you love.

It is the next chapter - sharper, smarter and more capable. Still dangerous, ever demanding. Forever Tomcat.

We are incredibly excited to finally place the F-14B(U) into your hands. Returning to the Tomcat has been both a privilege and a labour of love for our entire team, and we have poured everything we have learned over the past years into making this expansion worthy of the aircraft and of the community that has supported it for so long.

To all of you who have flown, supported, challenged and inspired us throughout the life of the DCS: F-14 - thank you. The Tomcat has always been more than just another aircraft to us, and your passion has ensured that it has continued to grow far beyond what we originally imagined.

Pre-order now on Steam, the DCS E-shop or the Heatblur Store and join us on July 22nd as the Tomcat enters a new era.
