Nice work Sundevil!
Looking forward to see how it fits with the rest of the cockpit.
Time for some motivational material

Totally cool pictures there Airbuster! Thanks.

The fact that there isn’t a dedicated f-14 sim really pisses me off…

Why, there is, or at least used to be:

Thanks for pics mate! Looking awesome…

aye, pity it can’t be ran on the current machines……well, a dosbox maybe, but still, i wonder if it is playable in such a low resolution…

Hey Guys! Long time no see!
Not much going on that can be shown, although I´ve been working a lot on the systems and switches. Especially trying to make the TACAN panel and radio working (using Backup option on the F-16 to use analog frequencies instead of the ones on the DED), problem is that the Bearing/Distance indicator on the F-14 has no NAV/TACAN selection so I still dont know how to “cheat” it nicely, but it is working…:D
Also managed to contact Sundevil for his amazing stick, and started the model of the stick assembly (still WIP)…and textured the two stickers on the grip. Didn’t manage to find out who was the manufacturer of the F-14D grip so I used an Essex Industries sticker (manufacturer of F-18, F-15, A-10…).
I know is wrong for me to say … but is looking F%cking Beautiful …Sundevils grip is like the cherry on the cake me happy.

simply no words to describe your work! It’s terrific, incredible, amazing, astonishing! I am seriously in love with your pit! I am really eager to fly in it!
-
Oooooohhh, awesome!
I better not die of a heart attack and never get a chance to fly it……LoL
Start up check list please?
Thank You!
Cheers,

Is it wrong for me to start welling up?
Thats - in game cockpit right? not just a pretty picture… i mean - that will actually be in the Sim?
nah!!!
Nice try!!
(really?)

Congrats on walking again m8. take care.
-
Thanks!!
Quite happy too! Sorry for the low res of the video though!
The new HUD assembly looks awesome, I’m loving the dynamic shadows and bloom effect too… getting there…
Next, I still need to map the canopy jettison handle, hook handle and model the gear handle.
I’ve tried a couple of times to do the joystick grip but I’m not good enough, maybe someone good at modelling could give me a hand? If you feel you could model it PM me and I can send pics and diagrams.Although I’m feeling people are loosing a bit the interest in the pit…maybe its because its taking long…who knows!
Next vid carrier ops!

Pepe,
It does not matter how long it takes. The Tomcat Pit looks awesome. Looking forward to flying her!
Your work is much appreciated!

There are some vids of it in game already. I have to agree with you that it doesn’t look as good once inside the game but the moving instruments, rudder pedals, stick, throttle make up for it…
I also forgot to thank Dino Cattaneo, a FSX developer also working on a F-14D cockpit http://indiafoxtecho.blogspot.co.uk he has provided me with some cool reference pictures.
Thanks guys!

Hi MyKinge,
Mate all that you do for F4 sim is a bonus and we all would agree in that BMS F4 needs a cockpit pack installer for all jets.
So your contribution is much appreciated if anything we need you to ….
…… LoLWell imho I see this as an awesome pit …
Also fantastic news on picture referencing because I know Dino Cattaneo has kool add-ons for FSX.
So your cockpit would still be better than the current non functional one we must thank you for this no matter what, it will be a pleasure to fly it!
Enjoy making it!
THANK YOU!
Cheers,

HELP!
I´ve been trying to implement a UHF manual working radio on the F-14D pit.
Same as the TACAN panel, my plan was to use the Backup option on the AUX COMM panel to be able to introduce manually the TACAN and UHF radio frequencies without the use of the DED or ICP. With the TACAN it works great and it is working but in the radio I cant get it to work. My question is, is it in anyway possible to introduce manual frequencies on the UHF panel and have them appear on the UHF screen? I´ve done a couple of quick tests and my UHF screen always shows 000000 (although I know all the digits are implemented). Anybody could give me an insight of how this panel works? What are the key bindings associated to this panel and how could I use them on the F-14?
Below my RADIO panel with some heavy PITA work for the numbers (to apply all the F4Switches was hell :D).
I hope its clear what I try to achieve. Let me know if it isnt!

IF it is the backup uhf radio, then there is no manual tuning it in falcon.

LOL thats a lot of wasted hours then!
Thanks Moort…
