F-14 Tomcat - Afterburner (PinEvent V2, FizX 3.3)
Version: 2.0 (Aug 2026)
====================================================================
This table began as F14 Tomcat by SLAMT1LT and Chaos. I proceeded to do a complete table overhaul / update / mod with many new additions and features which became F14 Tomcat - AFTERBURNER. This table now has new art, new RGB lighting, new RayBaked lighting and shadows, new models, new Afterburner music, new sounds, new PUP DMD styles, new VR / MR / Minimal room options, and much more!
It has been completely updated to use the newest modern BAM features to create an amazing real-time visual treat. It’s also been overhauled to use the latest FizX physics which completely transforms a Future Pinball table to have excellent modern physics for the entire table! I updated it to my PinEvent V2 standard, to allow for optional DOF, SSF, PUPDMD and other features that take this to another level. (now also updated to use PUP 2.0’s latest features!)

IMPORTANT! - UPDATE REQUIRED!
This table REQUIRES a newer version of BAM (1.5-409 or higher)
This is included with the FP and BAM Essentials AIO package version 3.7 or higher!
EVERYONE needs this new update to run this table! Simply install the latest FP and BAM Essentials AIO, and you are good to go!
====================================================================
What options can you try if your GPU has less VRAM (less than 6 GB)?
- you can enable Texture Compression (in FP video settings) which greatly reduces how much vram is used
- if you use a "Start FP" bat file, then you will also need to enable Texture Compression in that file!
- enabling Texture Compression may take a little longer to load, but not much
