TMF F-14 Tomcat Superpack


The Mirage Factory F-14 Tomcat Super Pack V1.21 AUG. 25, 2013

 

What it is:

This is the F-14 Tomcat Super Pack v1.21 Full. It includes tweaks to the engines, avionics, weight, effects and the Phoenix missile.

 

=================

 

Installation:

 

=====CAUTION=====

1. This was tested at July 2013 patch level, on an "All 5 Merged" install, and because it uses AvionicsF14A.dll, will require SF2NA (or a TW F-14) to work! It will not work on Gen 1 sims, nor will it work correctly on pre-April 2012 installs! (Caveat: Avionics70.dll F-14D should work on pre-April patch levels).

 

2. It is HIGHLY recommended you back up your current F-14's .ini files and cockpit folders. If you have custom skins installed, be sure to back up your F-14(A/A+/B/D).ini to preserve the texture set data.

=================

 

 

1. Unzip the contents of the F-14SP_V121.7z file into a folder.

 

1a. If you have installed the Avionics70 F-14D, ensure you back up the .ini files if you haven't renamed the bird, since this install will overwrite F-14D_92, 96 and 06!

 

2. Open your Strike Fighters 2 mod folder (e.g. C:\User\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 Europe\...)

 

3. Copy the contents of the unzipped Objects folder into your SF2 mod Objects folder, allowing all files to overwrite (Objects\Aircraft and Objects\Weapons).

 

3a. (RECOMMENDED) Review the Cockpit and Avionics, and F-14 SP Update word documents for information on updates.

 

4. Go fly!

 

=================

 

 

1. Unzip the contents of the F-14SP_V121.7z file into a folder.

1a. You may choose to use the Avionics70.dll F-14D for SAR mode on strike missions. If you wish to do so, see Section 6 of the F-14 SP Update V120 word document (Para 6.1-6.3) for install procedures and recommendations.

2. Open your Strike Fighters 2 mod folder (e.g. C:\User\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 Europe\...)

3. Copy the contents of the unzipped Objects folder into your SF2 mod Objects folder, allowing all files to overwrite (Objects\Aircraft, Objects\Weapons, and Objects\Decals will be affected).

3a. (RECOMMENDED) Review the Cockpit and Avionics, and Update word documents for information on updates.

4. Go fly!

 

=================

I noticed the ALQ-167 is'nt covering 1980, i'll fix it. just back date the POD for now. and remember Strike Missions aren't covered

before 1992 so the ground weapons wont show if you pick strike before that date. also i need to add Bunyap to the Readme

for weapons credits.

 

anything else show up let me know for a update patch.

Nice work however your missing the LAU-138 BOL countermeasure Sidewinder rails fitted to the F-14 fleet in the early 90's. I did this a little while ago which added them onto the previous MF F-14 for SF2. Basically all you need to do as add two 160 shot chaff dispensers that fire out the back of the Sidewinder missile rails and make it so they don’t disappear when no weapon is loaded. Having the BOL chaff launchers fitted meant all the pyrotechnic countermeasure launchers were freed up for flares.

Dear Spectre8570,

 

 

Before anything let me first thank you and show my appreciation on this awesome mod for the F-14... really enjoy it... but a humble suggestion if you don't mind: the F-14D Super tomcat featured in this pack has only a single undernose pod, whereas in reality isn't it supposed to have a twin nosepodlike in the pic below? if it's not too much to ask, is it possible to have this fixed sometime in the future? Once again please don't get me wrong: this ISN'T a complaint. just a humble suggestion. Thanks..

Hi Tomcat_ace

 

Thanks.

 

Yes i'm aware of the TCS pod for the D model. They are working on a F-14D that is correct and will be releasing it.

They are trying to get a Pit for it before they do that. So hang in there.

That is what is really holding the project up to. Need a pit and we dont know when that will ever happen.

Can a stand-in pit be used based on the existing ones? I tried using ravenclaw 007's mod for the F-14A/B&D but it didn't work although i followed the instructions and put the .lod's in the aircraft folder rather than the F-14 folder.... Has anyone else had better results with these alternatives? (just a suggestion so please don't get me wrong)

That mod is for the old F-14's and will not work on the news without some work. No TMF is not going to release that D until we get a pit.

That's OK... I understand & respect the fact that the Mirage Factory will not release an incompletely/inaccurately detailed aircraft (both on the exterior & interior)

If it's not too much to ask,could someone help to make Ravenclaw007's undernose sensor mod work for the SF2 Tomcat till TMF formally releases the 'D' version? just a request so don't get me wrong.. thanks

Tomcat_ace,

 

I think someone already tried it and was unhappy with the results because the data.ini edits are there. The two pods are not large enough to cover the one. I think MF would have to remove the single pod from the model and then it would work, but I don't how quick or easy that job would be. . . good luck; and modifying the original MF F-14A will leave you with the correct nose pod but the wrong engine nozzles. I don't think there's any way to hide it with data.ini edits in the exterior view, has to be done in max.

Has anyone slotted this into any of the campaigns?

 

Can any history buffs recommend which campaign and unit would it be most historically accurate to replace in existing campaigns?

 

I have a NATO Fighters install, and also a Mod folder setup for SF2/Israel/Exp1 I could use.

I would re-download this as the team went crazy and did a total variant breakdown. Also there is an actual F-14D in there with stand in pit until we can the one built.

      Hi everyone,
      I'm trying to recreate the 1st Gulf of Sidra Incident with my F-14A Tomcats and my Su-22M3 Fitters, doing it extremely historically accurate, paying attention to every little detail.
      So far i've done everything, and it's almost identical to the real one, but there's ONE issue i can't figure out, let me explain:
      During the morning of the 19th of August 1981 two F-14A Tomcats intercepted two Libyan Su-22M3 Fitters in the Gulf of Sidra.
      The Fitters were equipped with two AA-2 "Atoll".
      Just before the merge, while nose-to-nose, one of the two Fitters fired a missile to one of the two Tomcats, but being the missile a very old and primitive heatseeker, it started tracked and going for the Tomcat, but as soon as the F-14 made a slight break, the Atoll lost its track.
      The PROBLEM IS:
      There's no way i can make the Fitters shoot the missiles before merging, if only the AA-2, or any other equippable missile was all-aspect or radar guided just like the R-23, i think it would work.
      I tried having a head-on merge with two Mig-23 Floggers equipped with radar guided R-23s and they shot at me before merging.
      I tried all other available missiles and nothing changed, some didn't show either.
      I tried copying and pasting the Data file from the Aim-7 to the R-60 Data file, and nothing changed.
      I tried changing the loadout file to R-23, but the Fitters show up without any weapon since there's no R-23 option in loadout for Su-23M3s, so i think it's not possible to have them (and would be historically inaccurate too).
      I tried changing enemy difficulty from Normal to Hard, but nothing changes still.
      The only thing the Fitters do is shooting their guns just before the merge, but no missiles are fired when nose-to-nose.
      Is there a way to fix this? A way i can make my Fitters fire at least one of their missiles when we're nose-to-nose, just like when i got nose-to-nose against Floggers equipped with R-23s?
      Is it a problem with the enemy AI? Or with the missiles? Or maybe even with the Su-22M3 Fitter i'm using?
      Thank you very much for helping me

      Hi,
      after seeing the TMF F-14 has wrong and inaccurate speed and fuel indicators, i found out the default Third Wire F-14 has working and accurate ones, but i dont wanna use it cause the TMF Tomcat is better and the cockpit too more realistic too, so can you switch the speed and fuel indicators on the TMF F-14 with the default Third Wire F-14? And for fuel too? Do you need to 3D model and/or do something else other than edit some text files?
       And is it or it's not possible to do?
      Down here are 2 pictures from the correct cockpit in the default Third Wire F-14:


      And 2 from the TMF F-14 (the inaccurate one):


       
      Thanks for helping.

      Hi everyone,
      I just noticed that the speed indicator in the F-14 Tomcat by TMF (TheMirageFactory) only shows up to 800 kts, and the Mach indicator does not move, not letting you know the speed of the aircraft if you have your HUD turned off.
      As you can see down here, i'm at Mach 2.23, but the indicator only shows 800 kts and doesn't go above. Obviously it adapts to my altitude, so if i'm higher, then the IAS is lower, but still should move, making it impossible flying at high speed without HUD turned on as i have it down here:

      Another issue, maybe even worse than the previous one, is that the fuel indicator shows wrong numbers, or as i may think, it shows "a number less". For example: if i have 20000 pounds of fuel left, it should show 20000, but it shows 02000. This is a theory on how it works, not confirmed, and i'm gonna explain you why i think it is like that:
      I hardly think i truly have 2000 pounds of fuel left, cause i choose Fuel 100% and tried climbing and flying for a long time with full afterburner, and the numbers slowly started going down, even reached the point of burning the engine at Mach 2.30and the fuel wasn't gone yet, it showed i had like 00700 left, so i presume it's 20000 in reality, otherwise i would have been out of fuel in no time, since it's a quantity even under the bingo quantity, but i flew for minutes and minutes in full afterburner, and at 8x speed, so. Speaking of Bingo, there's no bingo indicator.
      Here's a picture of the fuel indicator:

      I tried the default F-14 cockpit, and even if that one shows correctly both speed and fuel indicators and even if it's a great cockpit, i personally like more and find more realistic and immersive the TMF one.
      In the end, since these two indicators are crucial, especially for flying without HUD, and the fuel indicator especially, since there's no way to know how much fuel you have left even with HUD turned on other than the cockpit indicator.
      So, what i'm asking is:
      Is there a way to fix these? A mod that remakes the indicators? Or another cockpit that is not the default one that i can use to swap this one?
      Thanks in advance for helping me.
