Mike Wazowsky Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 (edited) F-14 VR ULTIMATE EXPERIENCE Heatblur's Tomcat is a work of art... but sometimes as impractical as art can be! If you wish to improve cockpit readability, both day and night, this is for you!!! Also, uses lighter textures with virtually no quality drop and comes with a beautiful dynamic carrier scene in the menu...

Mike Wazowsky Posted January 12, 2021 Author Share Posted January 12, 2021 She actually hides in the pilot side of the cockpit... it's one of the canopy files...

Lt_Jaeger Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 I'm torn. Installed your pack twice and uninstalled it the same amount. Most probably will result in an on / off I really love the clarity in VR and think the original Cockpit is a little overdone with tear and wear, but your version looks a little to dominant / generic to me. I believe a little less and I would be sold. Anyhow....thank you for the great work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zildac Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 @Mike WazowskyReally enjoy this mod and been using it for a while. With the small tweaks to the F14 label wise since 2.7 (radar cooling switch for example in RIO seat) is there a plan to update the mod to include these changes too? 1 12900KF | Maximus Hero Z690 | ASUS 4090 TUF OC | 64GB DDR5 5200 | DCS on 2TB NVMe | WarBRD+Warthog Stick | CM3 | TM TPR's | Varjo Aero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, you deserve a better explanation... Assuming you are using a mod manager (highly recommended JSGME for simplicity) TO MODIFY: - look inside the F-14 VUX mod folder for files called HB_F14_CPT_CANOPY_R_L.dds and HB_F14_CPT_FRONT_05.dds and modify. - To have an option for the original look, I will have to work on a new version...

Mike Wazowsky Posted May 2, 2021 Author Share Posted May 2, 2021 (edited) @zildacThanks for pointing that out, I frankly missed it. I will update, let me figure out what has changed (or maybe help me in the process ) Edited May 2, 2021 by Mike Wazowsky F-14 VUX - VR Ultimate eXperience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zildac Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 @Mike Wazowsky No worries. I must admit I hadn't realised they had added the label until I came across this post: And that only mentions the liquid cooling switch, I couldn't find a more exhaustive list, and there's nothing specific I could find in the changelog either 1 12900KF | Maximus Hero Z690 | ASUS 4090 TUF OC | 64GB DDR5 5200 | DCS on 2TB NVMe | WarBRD+Warthog Stick | CM3 | TM TPR's | Varjo Aero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad rabbit Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Love this mod but I'm encountering a really unique problem with it. I regularly fly online in the Viggen, another HeatBlur module. However when I'm running this v2.2. of this mod and then get into a Viggen on a MP server, I get ejected due to an integrity control (IC) failure for a Viggen texture?! I run about 20+ mods, including Devrim's English translation for the Viggen, which seemed like the initial obvious reason. However after isolating each mod individually through OVGME, I eventually discovered its v2.2. of this F14 mod causing the Viggen IC failure. Even when I do a full DCS repair and then only run this mod and nothing else, the IC fail occurs. Notably, the IC fail only occurs when I run this mod and then also switch role to a Viggen on a MP server. I can run this mod and play all other modules on a MP with no issues. The only thing I can think of is that because they are both Heatblur modules, then there must be some shared textures. However this doesn't make sense, as why would one modules textures be dependent upon owning anothers? Why am I simply not getting the IC fail for the Waze v2.2 F14 textures?! Does anybody else own the Viggen and run this mod? Have you encountered this IC issue? Sadly this is the only mod I have had to disable due to IC failure. despite being very weird and specific in origin. 2021-09-09 02:33:45.822 WARNING SECURITYCONTROL: IC fail: textures/hb_vig_mirrors_fake @ mods/aircraft/ajs37/textures 2021-09-09 02:33:45.822 WARNING SECURITYCONTROL: IC fail: textures/hb_vig_mirrors_fake_roughmet @ mods/aircraft/ajs37/textures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Wazowsky Posted October 15, 2021 Author Share Posted October 15, 2021 Interesting... I do not own the Viggen (unfortunately). The VUX mod has mirror textures, but nothing with hb_vig... in it. I am sorry but it is beyond me. Let me ask a friend who has Viggen... @giaco1? F-14 VUX - VR Ultimate eXperience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
