WIP: F-14 B/D
-
Bonjour Dee-jay! Not at all… Nothing will make me happier than seeing my work been enjoyed by many. Originally I passed all the raw files, with research, cad, textures etc to WaveyDave. I can try to find everything again if necessary. What I wanted is to avoid to share it with everyone and have hundreds or remodded versions and instead try to centralize all the integration efforts. Let me know if you have the files still but from my part you have all permissions.
We hav the 3ds source file + the textures files. If you have the .Lod just send it to me (via pm) please
Thanks in advance

Indeed, BB and I don’t know how (and can’t) convert it into LOD and WaveyDave is busy on other things, … If you or Molni can bring a package, that would make our lives MUCH easier! (VERY buys also on many other stuff).

The best I can do export LODs from the DB of 4.32 of my MOD. But I did is so long such things I barely remember how can be done. I found one big LOD of the cockpit but I’m not sure is that all or are more LOD. I found the values in other file.
// the LOD models to use.
// F14 simple model CT# 2745 (Parent 1553) not correct use 3757!

This is almost 7 years ago, I can’t belive this pit hasn’t been released yet:

… we have highter priorities then the F-14 … If nobody provide a “good clear” package including LODs , textures and 3dckpt.dat files, BB and I won’t be abler to do it.

With all due respect - what for? BMS cannot simulate dual seater (at least as for now) - no matter if we are talking about AI or human pilot/RIO.
-
This is absolutely true! BMS is always focused on F-16 and this is why it is superb to all other simulators (for F-16) due to the realism it offers.
The F-14 can’t be simulated 100% (as in DCS) but on the other hand it still remains an interesting alternative, especially if a pit is escorted with a good external model of the aircraft in BMS environment!
Why not have it available for all tomcat fans out there in BMS community? After all carrier ops are getting better in every BMS update package! It would be a waste not to have a decent pit of F-14 in our disposal…

Can’t deny, i high-key wanted to have fun with it for the past few years, even if it doesn’t have the proper avionics.

no buttons, not functionalities , nada
do you want to make it ?

As I can remember MFD buttons worked and also the basic instruments but nothing else.

In the past we had Qawa who were used to work o that kid of stuff, but he is no more active since several years.

Hello DJ and Mav-JP,
the intent of my post was not to blame anyone, but a pity that such good asset work have gone down in oblivion.
Anyway it’s good that you are open to the comunity with that problem and I hope somebody with proper knowledge can pick it up and finish it.
Cheers
-
Are Qawa old cockpits useable with 4.34? Would be great to have them in stock one more time
-
Is this F-14 project dead now?
-
Sadly it looks like it is dead
Started in Dec 2015 and now we have Feb 2020. I had so much hope to see a F-14D in BMS or even a useable (not perfect) cockpit for the F-14’s at least.
-
Only Stingray can answer to that….

Stingray will get to it, he’s a long time Falcon person. Some people, including myself have other priorities in our life’s and it takes time.
With all things, especially Falcon, be patient, he’ll be back, no doubt!!

Great news
I know how life sometimes could be.
I’m starting now for the fifth or sixth time to built my homepit. Hope this time my dreams from the past over twenty years come true.
The first time I started with it, was 1998. Now we have 2020 and I never was able to fly one single mission in my pit
Every time I reached a state close to finish, things changed and I had no more time for it. Then, after a few years of intermission I had to start from scratch again.
What makes me skeptical about this project was, that you didn’t hear anything about it for such a long time now and also the change from 4.33 to 4.34 which, maybe, made work already done incompatible now. I have no clue about this, cause I’m no coder, but I had the fear he gave up with it cause to much had to be done from scratch again. As said this was only an assumption.
I’m looking forward to it and hope we could fly one of the best fighters, ever seen the light of day, in BMS also somewhere in the future

I hope so C9,
He did a wonderful job till now and its a shame if this go all to trash… I know how RL can be a obstacle to all of our hobbies,things we want to do etc. Beiing un employed right now it helps me finish a lot of projects i had (and have) for BMS and also enjoy as much as i can my free time doing things i always wanted but i couldnt cause of work mainly…
Lets hope he will give us a glipse of hope for this one!Cheers

I understand completely. I was unemployed for a while in the past, and I worked on theaters every day and it didn’t take too long to put them out, but now I’m back to work and I don’t have as much time to work on theaters.
People come into my threads asking when things are going to be converted to the current version of BMS, that’s okay, but they just need to be patient.
Most people here can recall how long BMS was out of the public eye, some are new and don’t know that was for quite a few years. But they eventually surfaced and the rest is history!
Thank for your work Manos……it is never ending for those of us who do it!
Cheers,
C9
