So the TARPS was available for me early in the morning (around 7-8:00 central time), but a few hours later it would not let me equip my tomcat with the TARPS pod.

What weapon station are you trying to equip at?

I don't have T.A.R.P.S in the list either

Please make sure you guys are on latest open beta (2.9.2.49940) and that you don't have any mods affecting the F-14 installed. If that doesn't work try deleting the F-14 and its folders and reinstall/redownload it.

Thank you for your response but I do not have a mod relating to the F14...

The mod doesn't have to be related to the module to mess things up.

That version i verified to have the TARPS. Either something is corrupt in your F-14 folders or there's another mod that interfere with the TARPS. Due to how DCS handles munition there could be a mod that's seemingly unrelated that overrides stuff in F-14 luas.

I'm enjoying the TARPS pod so far - looks good, the photo Tomcat is a nice asset we can build escort missions for.

The ladder would be really nice though, I hope it makes it into the next update. One thing I noticed: There was a time when static / AI Tomcats had wheel chocks when placed on a carrier deck. Now they only have the intake covers. Will the wheel chocks be fixed?

Looks like it's just the animation argument not being correctly set for uncontrolled/static units - the ladder (and the wheel chocks for that matter) are present in the modelviewer.

The ladder is argument 91, the wheels are 0 (nose), 3 (right main), 5 (left main) and the chocks are 23.

Really the boarding ladder should only be down if the crew is boarding, or the ground crew are working on the jet or prepping it. Typical static jet on the deck or tarmac I wouldn't expect to see the ladder deployed. If you're setting a static jet however to have the canopy up then ladder down makes sense.

Logically (and may be done eventually) the boarding ladder should be handled under the ground crew comms with the chocks, air supply, and ground power. During startup the ladder should be stowed going off a number of clips such as this from VF-211 at Oceana:
