Will anything be added to the F14 hud?

[budguy68]

Unlike other aircraft the F14 doesn't show you speed altitude waypoint etc etc etc. And it doesn't put a diamond/circle when a air target is locked.

 

Granted I've only flown it like 10 mins.

 

But I wanted to know is this how the HUD will look like from now on...? Or will they add more things to the hud?

 

 

I also wish they would put a non worn out version of the cockpit. I know this aircraft are older then most of us but it be nice to have a non weathered cockpit.

 

EDIT

I just noticed in other videos there is a lot of more info displayed on the HUB.

But I still wanted to ask if the HUB is already finished or will they add more stuff?

Pretty sure that HUD is as functional as in real Tomcat, I would not expect any extra information on it.

When Jester locks the target you will see diamond around it.

As far as cockpit textures - I assume our talented community will make clean re texture as soon as template is available.

It's an accurate simulation of an F-14B Tomcat's HUD from the era they're simulating, there's nothing else to add.

Do you know that you can switch HUD Modes on the right front Panel?

Looking forward to a brand new cockpit or something not as old as currently is.

While a appreciate the texture artist and technology used to capture 3D of the museum aircraft cockpit,I too like to take a new aircraft to spin here and there, instead decades old one.

 

While here and there the F-5E even looks too new, it still gets its era fulfilled.

 

IMHO every module should come with the three cockpit liveries.

1) brand new factory unit

2) couple years old weathered with little wearing

3) full weathered, decades old even to today.

 

Something fancy? Make it automatic based mission editor date. And possible override or select like any other livery.

+1 agreed this would be a nice feature. Especially the automatic selection by mission date.

The HUD is as intended from the real F14B. it's something between the F5 and the F18 I guess... the F14Ds I think had an upgraded HUD, but not this one...

 

 

lower right panel there are mult modes you can change the HUD (T/O, Cruise, A/A, LAND, A/G or somethign like that). with A/A, you'll have the diamond if jester can keep a lock more than 18 seconds.

You do know about the ACM modes, right? They work fine.

Tomcat's hud reminds me a lot of the Viggen's hud

 

I love it

I asked Heatblur about this because their model did not have the Sparrow Hawk HUD that the latest versions of the F-14B (and D) does. They said:

 

 

Hi the sparrowhawk upgrade that some tomcats received didn’t come until quite late, the B we model had the same hud as the A

 

 

That being said, if we ever do a D model we would include the sparrow hawk hud there!

 

 

 

 

 

I asked them if they would do a late F-14B add-on/update and they said:

 

 

Wouldn’t say never but probably not, might as well do the D in that case. The models and their upgrades were very mixed up, Not at all as clear cut as most people expect

 

 

I hope they do, I got spoiled using the Sparrow Hawk HUD in the FSX Aerosoft F-14B.
