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

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.

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 :

 

Example from a F-4E TISEO with Dual FOV, with smaller FOV for long distance; 10km+

 

[TISEO]
SystemType=EO_CAMERA
ModelNodeName=TV
CameraFOV=5.000000
DualFOV=TRUE
SearchFOV=2.500000
CameraPosition=-2.052,3.488,-0.687
CameraAngles=0.0,-2.0,0.0
MaxSeekerRange=30.000000
SeekerGimbleLimit=30.000000
SeekerTrackRate=20.0
SightTexture=f-4_tiseo2.tga
SearchTexture=f-4_tiseo.tga
BypassFilter=FALSE
IRImage=FALSE
TrackingGateType=0
GimbleAngleDisplayType=1
ShowTargetID=TRUE

 

// Tracking Gate options
// 0 None
// 1 Crosshair
// 2 Four Corners
// 3 Double Lines
// Gimble Angle Display options
// 0 None
// 1 Pointing Cross
// 2 Nose Index Marker
