F-14 Cockpit Bugs

[airplaneman321]

Hello,

I have recently noticed a number of small cockpit bugs around both the RIO and pilot pit.

 

1. At night, on the WPN TYPE selector on the ARMAMENT panel, the instrument backlighting disagrees with the actual setting:

 

 

2. The first digit selector of the Mode 3/A code on the IFF panel does not rotate properly:

 

 

3. The pilot standby attitude gyro cannot be re-caged; left clicking the knob has no effect as it does in the RIO seat. 

 

3b.The RIO gyro cages and uncages just fine, however, I believe that if it is caged and uncaged it should not return to the true attitude, but instead be centered where it was caged to.

 

 

4. The RIO airspeed indicator bugs cannot be set like the pilot's can:

 

 

5. (Multiplayer only, works in Single Player) During a Case III ACLS approach, the RIO Digital Data Indicator (DDI) panel does not show any datalink lights (LANDING CHK, ACL READY, etc.) while the pilot's DDI repeater to the left of the VDI works just fine.

 

 

I hope these reports are helpful.

I would like to add 3c: If you uncage the Pilot ADI inflight it also shows your true attitude regardless of your current bank and pitch angle, which is IMHO not correct behavior.

There's also several more texture and gauge bugs. In my opinion the Tomcat needs a big "cleanup" update before they focus on any new variants and features.
