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.

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.

DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!

Damn I hope it changes down the road. The D or B+ would be a beast

 

I would purchase it again

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."(...)

Would it be possible to do a mod that will extract HUD data like speed and altitude on the HUD or somewhere close?

I have been spoiled by the A-10C, FA-18C and F-16.

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.

Wait, so if that's the Sparrow Hawk HUD, then what's the F-14D's HUD?

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.

 

I think, could be wrong on that.

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.

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.
