How to activate the third and fourth screens on the jet? Do you know something about that?
Regards MetalheadI do not understand the question. For data cartridge you can set four MFD pages currently, the code and rest of stuff know what were created long time ago. Only problem that I cannot find the “no HUD view” where in corners of the screen were displayed MFDs als long as not “BLANK” page was set. This is disabled of missing somehow but as I see the code still recognize and accept 4 MFD handling.

Great work Nizmo, the pit is shaping up very well. It looks so good, it reminds me of the pit I saw in in a real F-14 in the early 1990s.

Are you doing the Bombcat? The bombing capable version of the B?
-
Every F-14 built was bomb capable. The “bombcat” was a nickname given to the B upgrade which gave a sparrowhawk HUD and upgraded the B to allow for JDAM carriage ( Mil-1760 databus) This is the only reason the F-14A never carried JDAM but carriedthe full range of dumb bombs, Gator series CBUs, and LGBs from GBU-12 to GBU-24.

Thanks for the info!! Looking forward to fly it on BMS!!

Hello,
Just my little 100 yens…
I never saw a F-14A/B with a twin glasses reflector for the HUD…
I believed, only F-14D had…
Any document about it?
I would really appreciate it.
Cheers,

Yes, there is plenty of documentation about the improved hud glass for the F14B. It is also a combining glass like you see. There are many pictures regarding the F14B cockpit.
Some F14A’s had a single glass hud, but many A models had no traditional hud, but displayed on the window canopy.
In my model, it has the newer combining glass, which is still different from the F14D’s HUD. So it would be a late model F14B-model.

Well, not quite https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?17143-F-14B-Model-Pit&p=247875&viewfull=1#post247875
A late F14B with the new HUD would require some more work on the front panels

Excellent work here Nizmo.
same boat man, It was on hold short for about 5 min waiting for the rain to clear at Hanscom before the shutdown. Rain never let up, taxi’d right past us.
Maybe it’ll be like how the P-51’s fly with the raptor and other a/c, then I think I may see the 14 fly….
I got to see a fair few of them when working with a couple of US carriers prior to going into the Middle East. Even got to sit 500 yards off the port side for a couple of days just watching take-offs and landings. Had a couple come flying at us from astern and then go vertical when level with us. Just disappeared from view. Awesome. Got up close on one of the flight decks so they are just as impressive up close.
Nothing and I mean nothing is more beautiful than an F-14 in flight. This is guaranteed to raise objections / comments and this is entirely my opinion and I’m entitled to have one….:D

This is what we all have, we all have “our” aircrafts!
I love Rafale and Mitsubishi F-2 much more than everything else, and I really don’t like F-14… Others hate the Rafale and the F-2…
You see, what is important there is to have something we have passion for!
As long as people have passion for something, they do their best, so, I am happy with it!

[sorry for the duplicate, didn’t see the replies up there…]
The so-called combiner glass has always been the same, the reason you don’t recall seeing it on early versions is that the early ones had the AN/AVG-12 HUD use the inside of the windscreen as the projection surface and therefore didn’t have a mechanically separate “HUD” at all.
