#F14 COCKPIT HOW TO#
The other book I bought was "F-14A Model: How to build Tamiya's F-14A Tomcat Model" by Glenn Hoover.
It's filled with the planes history, reference pictures in detail, descriptions of available kits in different scales (unfortunately the Tamiya kit in 1/48 hadn't been introduces when the book was printed), paint schemes and other useful information for a model builder. Their Modellers Datafile series is great. The first is "Grumman F-14 Tomcat: A Comprehensive Guide" by Andy Evans from SAM Publications. One is excellent as expected the other one came as a bit of a let down. I've acquired a couple of reference books to help me out. Cockpit indication lights and textures.Finally I've got moving on my project. I will likely return for a 2nd pass to have a look at dials and gauges after completing the RIO pit.

#F14 COCKPIT MOD#
OVGME/JSGME ready - Just pop it into your chosen manager and give it a whirl.Īt the moment this mod is an instant IC FAIL, but as soon as HB implement custom cockpits I'll look at getting it into the relevant file structure format. It's early days so please feel free to offer any thoughts, advice or constructive criticism on the project.Hopefully I'll be able to make a better mod with feedback.
#F14 COCKPIT FULL#
This is my 1st proper go at doing a full cockpit texture mod. And I'll be doing my upmost to sel ect the best mipmap filtering/scaling filters to avoid blurriness and aliasing at distance. I'll do the best I can to preserve the work of HB and keep the mod quality level as high as my skills allow, I won't be down-scaling or resizing entire texture files.Īll alpha channels, normal and roughmet files will be worked on where applicable to preserve lighting and such. Of course, this will make it no longer an 'authentic' cockpit for the purists, but it should make a marked QOL improvement for us VR users.
I'll be updating this mod during the foreseeable future as I work through both of the pits/texture files for the F-14. This mod will be regularly updated as I progress through both the pilot and RIO cockpits. Indication and warning light textures reworked.Īll primary instrument readouts and gauges reworked.īE (Black Edition) - Cockpit interior trim in 'Gunmetal Grey' High contrast/increased cockpit panel font. DCS: F-14 - Brickdust's "Drunken Sailor" VR Friendly Cockpit - Complete cockpit overhaul to increase use and legibility when using a VR HMD
