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.

SF2NA TMF F-14A_82 VF-41-84 '86 Cruise Skins
Tested in SF2NA, Full-5 Merged and based on Blackburn32 and 1977Frenchie ODS 30th Anniversary great skins.
During the past Winter-Spring lockdown I've tried to create some skins for the The Mirage Factory Tomcats in order to match the correct markings for the Squadrons included in my modded installation of SF2NA ( Exp Pack, Med Crisis and North Cape) finishing to realize "new" skins for other planes, in one case for the whole Air Wing!
These mini Pack comprised the correct markings for the VF-41 and VF-84 1986 cruise aboard USS Nimitz to be used with the The Mirage Factory F-14A_82,to be used in the SF2NA expansion
Almost all the decals was done by me, with very few modified ones from the starting skins.
==========
To Install:
As always ,all in the relative folders in your game(s)
-----------------------------
Credits:
TMF, Blackburn32 and 1977Frenchie for the F-14A and skins
Me for the decals and the small improvements
If I've forgot someone, let me know please!
------------
Know issue:
I tried to be the more historically precise as possible, but I miss some squadron Bu.Nos/modexes and prefered to not add any fictious solutions.
The VF-84 skipper jet was a Hi-viz bird for which I realized a separate skin that can be selected in the Briefing screen dropdown menù, Anyway,I've included also the Lo-Viz markings for this plane ( as other line bird) 'cause my research showed the same Bu.No. with both markings, probably a pre- and during Cruise livery, I left at the single player the choice!
