Kludo

Greetings I am looking for some help because DCS black screens and never loads. If anyone has any work arounds or input Id appreciate it.

Thank you for your understanding in what I have said and stated. I appreciate it. You seem very down to earth. Can you friend me on here?

F-14 B or D, FA18C, FA18E/F, AH1W or AH1Z, S-3B Viking, H-60F or H-60R, H-60H or H-60S. Would pay top dollar for good modules released within a respectable period. Additionally, It would probably help things if the DCS crew started advertising in Aviation magazines and at Air Shows.

All Hail the Booty Hunters!

VF-31, VF-32, and VF-111. Although I was in VF-32 it never was a show and tell paint scheme but I still have a place for it in my heart.

Darkbrother, you could guide the winder to a target using the TCS in SEAM. Obviously this only slaved the seeker to the TCS, you couldn't make in flight adjustments. Kludo

B and D had tarps pods Okie, I wouldn't waste time modeling it, and the pod needed for targeting for the B and the D is already used in the game. As for anyone who disagrees or doesn't like how I put forth my thoughts, Id ask that you focus on the message not how it was delivered, Shakespeare I am not. I hope you all have a wonderful day :)

Dark you are correct my bad, Youd think with as many hours Ive spent around the bird Id of caught that. The F14B UPGRADE did not have the B+! Nice eye!

How hard is it to make a B+ or D model. Very very few differences. Ultimately DCS and the few product managers kind of fail at getting these products to the cash paying folks. At some point more life blood as in money comes in or this stuff dies. Bottom line. Better start marketing.

Punk, Im sorry the NATOPS didn't have the dimensions you needed. If you can find one of the maintenance manuals called an Illustrated parts break down, it should help out. The only other thing I guess you could do is do a search of your area for museums with cockpits or simulators. I know the one at my base has a roll around Tomcat pit that you can climb into. Maybe you could visit one of the museums and ask if you can take measurements? The last three museums I remember having Tomcat pits are at NAS Patuxent River Naval Aviation Museum, Norfolk Aviation Museum, NAS Pensacola Naval Aviation Museum, and whatever the name of the Aviation museum in DC is called. I know lots of museums have them those are just the ones Ive been to that I remember seeing them.

It looks like the poly set for a runway with a break in it.. showing its not modeled properly.

Any other active or active reserve folks around? US Navy active here. Any country chime in.

Most Tomcat instruments are fairly common with other Grumman products. Edit Guy above me already answered.

You could try looking through the NATOPS. Some of them will give you a description with measurements for some things. If that doesn't tell you, you could try doing a parts search for a tomcat illustrated parts break down or IPB. Heres a link I found for a NATOPS https://publicintelligence.net/u-s-navy-natops-f-14-tomcat-flight-manuals/

The doors open on the first indent of the gun trigger which also turns on the hud camera. Second indent fires the gun.
