1. go to F-14s "Liverie" Folder
2. open "description.lua" (notepad ok)
3. add lines custom_args = { [1616] = 1.0 }
4. in game
5. call ground crew - rearms, refuel
6. select edited Liverie ( not from mission editor )

 

Thx guys.

The door coming off was only a concern with the Iron Maiden in first place. That's the boom to drogue adapter that, unlike a regular cloth basket, is metal, and affixed to a rigid boom and not a flexible hose. We currently don't have any tanker equipped with that piece of kit. That thing can be nasty, and it was quite easy to rip the probe clean off when trying to top off from it. With cloth baskets, it was possible to take the basket off, but damage to the probe was more rare (though still possible, if the hose whipped around).

Originally the only cats that didn´t have the door were the Iranians because their probe was different from the navy (for use the iron maiden), so this mod is more applicable to the Persian cats than to the rest.

It was common during the Gulf War, Southern Watch, Northern Watch, possibly was done during Allied Force, and during OIF/OEF, whether we have the 135's Iron Maiden currently or not. So it very much applies to "the rest".

I don’t think the Iranian F-14’s had a different fuel probe at all, especially since it’s all standardized. Fuel probe door being removed was always an option.

What's your source for this? iirc the cats that were sent to Iran were supported en-route by the 135 so requirements would dictate that they must be the same, also at the time Iran wanted lots of western equipment so again it makes sense that it would be standard fit. 

if they changed it as part of their modernisation/maintenance process (S), I doubt we'll ever have access to that information.

be good to see if you have gen the community doesn't though :)
