![]() The images that exist of cockpits when the plane was in service are not necessarily representative. It’s also hard to answer: The SMEs and developers only got access to museum pieces (often the most worn planes, and in all cases handled by workmen to make sure there isn’t any useful parts for Iran) and the airmen and maintainers memory will be clouded by time. Get the impression that people have strong opinions about this, and I don’t see any use in discussing it further. This has also been verified by basically all of our SMEs. The current cockpit is intended to be representative of how the actual cockpits of the represented aircraft looked. I hope Heatblur won't make the F4 look like another wreck. Now it's almost worth the bucks, thanks you DSPlayer for making it seem much more realistic, you have saved it. Where the hell did they get the impression that it was cool to go far beyond the used, and slightly abused look, to a far-fetched trash can look? Did they take photos at the Arizona Graveyard and imagined that actual F14s in service would sometimes look like a public toilet at an Arizona truck stop? Don't get me wrong, I didn't want it to look unrealistically new and I had seen reviews for it before I bought it, so I was a little prepared for it, but after I paid the moula for the F14, I was really disappointed with the result. Their f14 cockpit looks unrealistic and more like an arcade game. None of them had cockpits in as bad condition as the Heatblur F14 cockpit. I've been in several unrestored cockpits, to name a few - Fairey Firefly, F86 Sabre, F-111, Mirage, Canberra, F4 Phantom, and none of them had had their cockpits restored since they were flying, some of these nearly 60-70 years ago. I often visit the National Aviation Museum at Moorabbin, Victoria, and the RAAF Museum in Point Cook, also here in Victoria. Have a dedicated F-14A & B version included that has different labeling (ex: Nozzle Percentages, Airstart/Backup Ignition) Clean up some of the in-cockpit lights (Fire lights, etc.) Finish the lighting for the CAP panel buttons Things To Do/Things I Need To Refine since I hate their current appearance: V0.0.2 - L FIRE and R FIRE lights + Master Caution light fix from Magic Zach. Drag and drop the "Liveries" folder into your DCS Saved Games folder (make sure you do not have any other F-14 cockpit mod installed). If you want to have this clean cockpit mod both for the F-14A and F-14B, be sure to make a copy of the "F14B_cockpit" folder included in the 7zip file and Feel free to ask questions in the comments, on the forum post, or pinging me on the Heatblur Discord (my discord username is and I'll try to answer them as quickly as possible.Ġ. ![]() This cockpit mod is still currently a WIP but I've decided to release it early as it is mostly complete but I won't have much time available in the coming months after working on this on-and-off for nearly a year. For those who desire a factory-like clean cockpit for the F-14.
