F-14A nose antenna?

[+strahi 1,066]

Does anyone know the node name of the F-14A nose antenna?

I would recommend getting Mue's Tool Box which includes the LODViewer.

These are the nodes in question via the LODViewer.

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.

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.

Hello folks ... thanks for information I've add the TCS camera on TW F-14A(77) .. there are news about update of TMF F-14 ?

I added the TCS camera to my TW F-14A(77) as well. Do your edits look something like the ones below?

Yes, my data are quite similar

The TCS data section.... its using the weapondata format.

 

Correct format for aircraft data and avionics ini (yep..) is this :
