Unbelievable! Thanks for sharing man.
The reason the F-14A+ was renamed F-14B was because the database used for supply and maintenance couldn’t handle the “+” to differentiate F-14A and F-14A+. Funny thing is, 10 years later, F/A-18As were upgraded to C equivalency as the F/A-18A+ and later the F/A-18A++(has APG-73 radar). Incredibly silly, lesson was never learned.

I hereby explicitly state that I do not wish to distribute any of the models in question (pit or external) and I do not represent Nizmo or EBS in any sort or affiliation.
Raise your right hand and said “I swear”.

After all the shit that went down here you seriously expect me to do a 180 and suddenly post material here that almost lead to the deletion of thousands of valuable posts regarding F-14 development/information?!
I know you have to adhere to your despotic moderating style but there is no need to ride a dead horse over and over again. Before I even begin to talk about a pit or model related to the F-14 rest assured I’ll triple check my move with you before I make it.

despotic moderating
Guilty. And I take the responsability of this, no problem … (it could be worse you know.)
We are giving the conditions for posting here (what is made outside of og this forum is not our concerne ;)) … then we are just trying to stay straight in our shoes. Just don’t do the same mistakes than Nizmo or Cemil, this is the only thing we are asking.
For the rest, I have the faith in you as you never disapointed anyone here, as long as you stay honest (which is the most important IMO, ATM, I have not reasons at all to think otherwise) we will support you to the end.Take care and good luck in your project.
Many ppl here loves the F-14.

Fortunately … because BMS can die anytime. Who really knows.

Your comment is appreciated! Thanks.

Yeah right! I forgot about this one actualy. (… in the moderation team I assume the role of the bad guy, you know, like in movies, there is always the good cop and the bad cop (Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett, Riggs and Roger, Tom & Jerry … etc … )
Whatever …

WAT’A’F!!! SHHHHHHHHT! DO NOT SAY THIS!!! :shock:

Stingray, good information about the glove vane. Is it possible for the F-14 team to create/verify operational glove vanes in the BMS F-14A model? I am going to assume the amount of modelling effort needed to creating such feature from scratch would be great and given the list of do items for teh F-14 team, most likely it would be low priority. The reason I ask for glove vane animation is that seeing such features would be a very realistic feature on Iranian Air Force F-14s in a future Iran/Iran theatre such as Malc’s upcoming 64 seg Middle East Theatre. Imagine that, a theatre where F-14 vs F-14 combat could occour. Of course I would help with creating such campaigns, only after I clear my considerably full plate of projects.:D

Scary observation skill: That picture shows F-14D BuNo 164603 ‘AJ-101’ VF-31 Tomcatters also called ‘The pencil’ around 2005/2006 and no I haven’t read the URL.
:eek:
What a beauty!

I’ll check tonight but I’m pretty sure they’re already there.

Do you swear that you’ll check…? Can you give your word in blood and sacrifice your first-born upon the altar of an obsolete piece of software…?
Well - DO YOU…?! CAN YOU…???
Or not.

I was playing with the idea of incorporating the glove vanes into an FM, but i’m not exactly sure how to go about it. It seams to me like they would actually work better as some sort of trim adjustment then a change in the aero-properties of the AC.

I have no idea whatever about FMs but I’m thinking that as the glovebox itself is a ‘liftbody’ don’t the vanes manipulate the airflow and subsequent lift of the glovebox?
If so I think it would be extremely difficult to get the effect right? Alternatively just tell the FM to move the center of gravity back when they are deployed :D.

Quick FYI, F-14Bs didn’t ever have glove vanes IIRC. They were removed from the conversions and never installed on the new builds.
