Can you fix speed and fuel on the TMF Tomcat?

[JamesWilson 13]

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.

You realise you can use the stock cockpit in the TMF Aircraft, and vis-versa

But what i'd like to do is to use the TMF cockpit with correct Speed and Fuel indicators, since the TMF looks more realistic and immersive to me.

Well  I cant help you there, unless there is another Kitty Kat 'pit in the downloads section, it is either the TMF OR the stock one. Personally if there is not another available, I would just  "live" with the TMF one, I know, the OCD will play merry hell with your brain, but we sometimes have little to no choice, Cockpits are not something that are commonly modded unfortunately, so we have to use stand ins or totally, in some cases  inapprpriate ones. I wish I myself had the skills to do 'pit modelling, as I do understand and emphasise with your issue.

Thanks a lot for understanding my issue. It's not just an aestethic thing but also a functional, since i can't properly play with the HUD turned off if i don't know my speed, i constantly have to peek it on the HUD. The fuel thing is more about realism rather than a real big issue, which the speed is.

I feel your pain my friend, unfortunately this is not just a matter of moving the dials around, the Lod itself would have to be remade, and not too many people have the knowledge, and or the time to do so, that is assuming the LOD is actually accessible to replace/rework. I imagine Cockpits are a very invovled subject, as everything has to work in conjunction with each other, its all JUJU and BLAK MAJIKS

its not legos or motors, you cant just swap parts out

you either need a new model (time to learn), a friend who can make one (learn patience). third option is to choose the pit you can tolerate best (lesser of two evils, like an election)

there are some small things that can be done with texture and ini fixes, but it sounds like this isnt one of them.

You're absolutely right.

Looks like i'll stick with the one we got

I'll fly the TMF with TMF cockpit.

It's the better out of the two IMHO, even if it has this issue.
