FZG_Immel Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 In sure I missed the info, but is any version of the F-14D with the modern HUD and mfd planned sometimes down the road ?

Dudikoff Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 They said they'd rather make the F-14D before the F-14B w Sparrowhawk HUD, but they don't have the weapon system manuals needed, so I guess that's probably a no. i386DX40@42 MHz w/i387 CP, 4 MB RAM (8*512 kB), Trident 8900C 1 MB w/16-bit RAMDAC ISA, Quantum 340 MB UDMA33, SB 16, DOS 6.22 w/QEMM + Win3.11CE, Quickshot 1btn 2axis, Numpad as hat. 2 FPH on a good day, 1 FPH avg.

QuiGon Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Heatblur said in the past, that doing the D might be a possibility in the future, but nothing has been decided on that yet. Currently only the A and the B with the old HUD are planned and in development. Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!

shagrat Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 (edited) What is a sparrow hawk?Google "F-14 Sparrow Hawk" gives excellent results, including pictures and videos. (...)"The SparrowHawk HUD provides pilots a 25-degree total field of view with a 5-inch (12.7-cm) aperture in a unit lighter than the previous system. Features include a built-in-test capability for simplified maintenance and internal data logging and continuous testing to track system conditions during flight. The HUD symbology is presented in a clear, sharp display with high brightness and clarity that allow pilots to increase their aiming envelope and benefit from greater overall accuracy and an enhanced combat safety margin."(...)

Manuel_108 Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Regarding a roadmap, i think now would be a great time for it, given that the release candidate is already in EDs hands and all. I hope we get one next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strikeeagle345 Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 googled it... just got a bunch of game screenshots... this is what it looks like, game or not... IT works just like the hornet hut in terms of being able to use it as a primary flight instrument. It shows the horizon and pitch ladder correctly in relation to flight patch and so on. Air speed is shown, altitude, nav points, the E bracket is slaved to the VV like in the hornet.

RaceFuel85 Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Keep in mind the Sparrowhawk HUD came with the F-14B Upgrade, which brought a number of other systems, but namely the HUD and PTID in back. Information on that is very scarce due to being classified still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dudikoff Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 (edited) its the same, this FSX model doesn't have the correct hud glass installed so its wrong. but the symbology is what it looks like. Definitely not the same. SparrowHawk HUD was a commercial HUD product chosen because it was supposed to be a cheap and fast upgrade, IIRC. But, the program started in 1998 (?) while the HUD finally entered operational service in 2001, IIRC (it was developed before, but I think there were some reliability issues with it). Keep in mind the Sparrowhawk HUD came with the F-14B Upgrade, which brought a number of other systems, but namely the HUD and PTID in back. Information on that is very scarce due to being classified still. They came in different stages as the HUD was finally ready in 2001 IIRC while the PTID was available from 1996 or 1997 I guess. In any case, the HUD itself would not be classified and would be described in a non-classified flight manual.

Eaglewings Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Kinda sounds like cheating.Not cheating to me. The F-14 sparrow hawk version has the HUD as primary flight instruments. In any case, I can cope with flying the F-14B in its authentic fashion. Just have to do quite a frequent scanning of the gauges and the HUD.
