The third Little Control Guy report is all Oversweep: Khasab is becoming a place rather than a runway, with vegetation, buildings, roads, a better ocean, and a carrier that finally leaves a wake.
There are takeoff and carrier-landing tutorials, a strict Landing Signal Officer (LSO), and a substantially improved interface. We also take a short detour into the F-14 Tomcat’s Central Air Data Computer—the secret MP944 microprocessor system completed before Intel’s 4004—and why that sort of depth is what makes a simulator interesting.
