TMF F-14 radar...sort of

---

Update - sorry, forgot to mention you also have to go into the Cockpit INI and change the [RadarScope] NodeName from =radar_screen to =vdi; see pic.

Third Wire's F-14 was nice but didn't have a dedicated RWR display.    The Mirage Factory's F-14 was fantastic, but the radar doesn't work anymore.  Both are needed, and a fleet defender that's sans-radar is pretty useless.  

I edited the INI for TMF's F-14 (see first pic) and spliced in the avionics from TW's F-14_82.  So now TMF's awesome cockpit has a working radar, sort of....

Problem:  TW's radar image is too large for TMF's radar display screen, so the edges are cut off.  I'm guessing you can only see about half to two-thirds of the radar image.  See pics for comparison.  Besides not seeing the full radar display, important target data along the edges are cut off also.

Does anyone know how to scale down the TW radar image to get it to properly fit in the TMF cockpit display?  I haven't had any luck

Thanks

Sorry, I can't help with your specific question about scaling the radar image.  But I've been spending a bit of time trying to get better at flying TMF F-14's and I'm curious about comment about the radar not working anymore.  I haven't experienced any problems getting radar to work.  But in your screen caps of the cockpit view, you're getting the radar TID repeat to appear in the Vertical Display Indicator (VDI).  In the TW and TMF F-14's that I've played with, the radar is always in the lower Horizontal Situation Display (HSD) screen.  Could that be part of the problem you're having?
