+strahi 1,058 Posted January 15, 2016 Does anyone know the node name of the F-14A nose antenna? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KJakker 884 Posted January 15, 2016 I would recommend getting Mue's Tool Box which includes the LODViewer. http://combatace.com/files/file/15942-mues-toolbox/ These are the nodes in question via the LODViewer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Caesar 305 Posted January 15, 2016 As the LOD viewer shows, it is the ALQ-100 radar warning receiver fairing. Similar fairing is used under the TCS and TCS/IRST pods to house ALQ-126 and ALQ-165 receivers in later model F-14s. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+strahi 1,058 Posted January 15, 2016 Thank you for your help and the rapid response, Mue's Tool Box? I did not know that I can see parts without LOD files (it's TW F-14A_77) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KJakker 884 Posted January 16, 2016 Thank you for your help and the rapid response, Mue's Tool Box? I did not know that I can see parts without LOD files (it's TW F-14A_77) You just have to set it up in setting to see the CAT files. Then just view the stock aircraft or object by opening its main INI file with the LOD viewer. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
