Uxi Posted October 11, 2020 Posted October 11, 2020 Beautiful pics. F-14B(U) should be much easier than full F-14D since radar, and everything else is the same. No DFCS OR Pilot MFD. Both pilot stick and RIO HCU are different. NACES ejection seats, etc would HB reinvent the wheel or could they use ED Hornet assets for the seats, arming handle, etc? Mod seems easiest for the Upgrade. Specs & Wishlist: Core i9 9900k 5.0Ghz, Asus ROG Maximus XI Hero, 64GB G.Skill Trident 3600, Asus RoG Strix 3090 OC, 2TB x Samsung Evo 970 M.2 boot.

BreaKKer Posted October 11, 2020 Author Posted October 11, 2020 I would literally kill for the SparrowHawk and PTID F-14B/U...but then again they're one of the biggest hurdles from what I know stopping them from making an F-14D as well (APG-70 and 71 share a lot in common and RB is able to get 71 data for the F-15E so) So if they did get the documents...probs just go the full nine yards and make an F-14D at that point. The information about pilot and RIO displays in the F-14B Upgrade with the PTID and sparrowhawk, is that it is classified and sitting in the -1A of the F-14B NATOPs and F-14D -1A NATOPS.

BreaKKer Posted October 11, 2020 Author Posted October 11, 2020 Hopefully one day, HB will get the documentation on the PTID to be able to create an F-14A/B (U). The -1A for the F-14B has all the info HB needs. It contains PTID info, sparrowhawk info, EGI and CDU things, etc. BreaKKer CAG and Commanding Officer of: Carrier Air Wing Five // VF-154 Black Knights
BreaKKer Posted October 11, 2020 Author Posted October 11, 2020 But...It's possible to mod it in DCS? Yes, it is very much possible to mod. But, I do not plan on making a mod, because what HB has created with the F-14B, to me, shouldn't be tampered with like that.

Uxi Posted October 12, 2020 Posted October 12, 2020 F-14B Upgrade had DFCS. F-14B Upgrade didn't get the new ejection seats that are present in the D. Right. I was saying why B Upgrade would be easier than D, then speculating if D could just reuse existing assets for the ejection seat, etc. Specs & Wishlist: Core i9 9900k 5.0Ghz, Asus ROG Maximus XI Hero, 64GB G.Skill Trident 3600, Asus RoG Strix 3090 OC, 2TB x Samsung Evo 970 M.2 boot.

LanceCriminal86 Posted November 16, 2020 Posted November 16, 2020 The best we can hope for is that maybe, just maybe, HB at least sneaks the -D TCS/IRST housing in as a model argument. At least then you can have an AI -D model or just pretend it's a D. Heatblur Rivet Counting Squad™ VF-11 and VF-31 1988 [WIP] VF-201 & VF-202 [WIP]
