Thanks! Yes, the IP TO TGT changed location, the manual will be updated to reflect this. The liquid oxygen gauge isn't in yet, it will be added during EA.

The scale markings on the DDD changed as the DDD gained the functionality to change the rate scale used. The Vc switch sets the scale used and the RIO has no indication on the DDD of which is selected so the scale markings should be disregarded. The closure rate mark on the PD search image is an error in the manual. It's only displayed in an STT mode.

The oxygen meter isn't in yet, it will be added during EA.

Are you getting the ACL Ready light? The Voice light basically means that there's something missing for ACLS. The window for hooking up is quite narrow though, especially if in close. I'd suggest hooking up quite far out with the needles more or less already correct.

The sequence should be 1, 8, 4, 5, 3, 6, not sure why it isn't currently, it's noted and I'll make sure our weapons guy have a look at it.

The Double-D scan is removed completely, while a really cool function visually as far as we know it wasn't present in the modelled F-14. Some of our documentation is quite old, detailing functionality that was later removed. The remaining function of the BRSIT mode is the ability to force the AIM-9 to ADL even with a target.

Are you guys getting the ACL Ready light? If not please make sure that the http://www.heatblur.se/F-14Manual/cockpit.html#radar-beacon-control-panel is on in the back seat. I'm guessing there might be a bug with Jester if it's not on if you're flying single.

Have you set the HUD and/or VDI AWL to ACL? Otherwise you could be looking at the ILS needles instead of the ACL.

Ok, was misinformed as I've been away for a while. The change is that when slaved to a STT or TCS track it will now be directly slaved to that line of sight, no scanning. Sry for that.

The seeker being able to be uncaged from boresight is fixed, if not in now it will be next patch.

IRL the force needed to pull those G's on the stick would be quite large and the pilot would also feel the G's ofc. You really need to check the AoA and the other instruments in the F-14 unlike in a newer aircraft were the computers stops the pilot from overloading the aircraft.

The change was due to new information. The seeker itself is still doing the same thing, it's just the HUD visuals that changed.

The GBU-24 loadout is actually correct according to the real documentation. I agree that it should likely be possible to use them diagonally on stations 4 and 6 as well but the loadout list doesn't list it. And I guess it doesn't really matter anyway if it's 3 and 5 or 4 and 6.

The TER/MER and AIM-9 jettison functionality was disabled quite early in the service life of the F-14. Not sure why but all documentation I have agree on it.

The real DLC wheel is springloaded to center afaik, so as soon as you release it the DLC would reset to the neutral position. That's why we don't have a keybind to leave it in another position.

If you cold-start or rearm the pilot has to set the counter manually.

Currently not really implemented but expect CW to have less range when we implement it fully. The PD guidance was developed to allow for greater range.

If you're in P STT and set it to SP PD it will still use CW as it's not a PD mode. If you're in PD STT and set NORM it will use CW.

By setting the switch to PH ACT you command the WCS to immediately send the active command, the missile will then lock onto the first target it sees. IRL if it didn't find a target it would still listen to commands if you're in a PD mode. That's not currently modelled though as we have limited control over the seekerhead in DCS.

Our current implementation does not allow uncaging in boresight mode, our documentation describes it as a pure emergency mode if the CAGE/SEAM fails. I do agree with your evaluation though and it might have changed, we'll take a look at it, no timeline though.

Hardware limitation, the HUD can only show one diamond symbol and in this case it's used for the gun solution.

That said they never really used any setting other than fully up or down operationally. For anything else you have the maneuverflaps that you set using the DLC wheel.

The real aircraft only had up and down and nothing inbetween. The lever in the cockpit will be fixed so there will be no position inbetween. Edit: After talking to one of our SME's it does indeed sound like they should have a full range of motion as set by the lever. I'll talk to the other guys and see if we can add some more binds for it.

Like you guys have found the modes work but you get no indication as those symbols are used for the gun when you have it selected. Not a bug.
