This is stunning! I have an older brother who doesn't play pinball anymore but this used to be his favorite table. Can't wait to show it to him. Great job again VPW. Plays fantastic too!!!

10 STARS! Many of you know what a YUGE fan I am of F-14 Tomcat. I absolutely adore this game and owned one for many years. I wish I'd never sold it but no one else would play it and F-14 is *best* when played with someone else. I actually beat Steve Ritchie on one hot sweaty game in Hollister and will never forget that. When @wrd1972 released his version years ago it was the best version I'd ever seen or played and dreamed of the day @VPinWorkshop would take it on and polish it up.  They did not disappoint! I feared they may take out some of the cool mods, like the models, but they did not so a YUGE thanks for that, guys! And all of this without VLM!!! There's still life in good ol' VP yet :) 

Fantastic work, gentlemen. Thanks for sharing your talents with us all yet again

This is an absolute beauty of a table. It plays looks and sounds like perfection. The next best thing to the real cab! Well done guys!

Looks and Plays Amazing! Thank You All Very Much!!

Glad this baby got an update as I always liked the VR Room, and what an update, the table looks and plays great. Thanks

Peace,

 

A thing has power when it moves you to do something you had given up on.  I was never good at this table and had given up trying to get better......  To the point that I never finished my pup pack for this table.  VPW changed all that with this mod.  When I first saw the release my jaw dropped.  It looked so real.  The sight of it got the juices flowing.  Wonderful job VPW.  I looks great, plays great.  An absolute stunner.  I appreciate you.  Below is the power of your project.

Another beautiful release from VPW. I never saw this game in real-life, but what a rush to play. This is a very fast paced game with a brutal kickback and center targets that will keep you twitching to keep the ball in play. It is incredibly fun, and stunning to look at with some great animations and lighting effects on the playfield toys. Thanks to all involved in making this beauty!

Very enjoyable.

i usually dislike "passive toys" in pinball but the planes are great, well animated (especially the afterburner effect) and add to the theme  (implementation seems so "natural" that i  can't imagine the table without now).

Higher sidewalls /sideblades when removing rails in the option (convenient for cabinet IMO) would be my only change of this excellent vpx conversion an beyond !

 

Thank VPinWorkshop 👌

This one is to d-d-d-d-die for. Looks and plays beautifully. Never played this machine in real life but now I want to.

Awesome, thanks a lot for this great update 👍.

What can be said...Another gem, but this one, for me, is kinda special.

Top Gun, my all time favorite movie, in a pincab.

Just paradise.

Thank you soooo much.

About the table itself, the physic is perfect and the art is gorgeous.

Thank you !

Wow! absolutely stellar work.  VPW are legends. Between this new table and Hauntfreaks amazing b2s, this is one of the best overall virtual pinball experiences out there in my opinion. Thanks again.

Oh boy, this table needed a VPW treatment so badly. And I'm so happy we got it. It's fast, it's furious, it's frustrating, but most of all it's great fun. And now its looks and feels great too. Thanks for another job well done.

wrd1972's table was always a winner, with this 10.8 tune-up it has gone to the next level. I particularly like the ✈️  in the shooter lane ( I wasn't expecting it to launch, lol)  also the plastic's on or off via menu are also a nice touch. Great job VPW! 💯

Nice work 👍

Plays even on the iPad using VPX-Standalone.

Slowly but surely making all of the physical greats virtual greats, that is what you guys do so well! Thanks for this, it is appreciated more than you know. CHEERS! 🍻

Nice table!
It's a great pleasure to play it.
Thanks to the team !

Great take on a classic table, as always from VPW! Thank you for the awesome continued work. I love these tables that have an adversarial approach into them, but this is probably my favorite experience (with Black Knight 2K next). The feeling of your pinball aerial duel with the Russian pilot is just great and absolutely feels like everything 1987. It's fast and fun.

YOU CAN'T WIN!
