no. I fly RIO all the time. you rotate the data wheel and hit 2 buttons and get an ILS

these were released F14A screens and there was a large attitude indicator ball a bit above where the pilot TID repeater is

Yeah, that cockpit is from the NASA flight test aircraft and is pretty much a one-off. Production F-14s, even the original -70GRs delivered to VF-1 in 1973, had the familiar screen arrangement.

just want to say i love the f14 cockpit wear and tear. 

 

it feels like a real aircraft that has seen service. not like an approximation.  i feel it’s easily the best cockpit in dcs.

Chiming in to say that I absolutely love the new forge elements. Really looking forward to how this can be expanded on! 

Personally, I hope you don't make it a toggleable option... 

It won't be a toggleable option as much as being able to put together your favorite elements, tie them to a livery, and then have that combo for said livery, and you can have as many combos for as many liveries you like. 🙂 At least this is somewhat as we plan it atm, so it may change a bit still, until then take it with a grain of salt please.

Great, that'd also fix the pit randomness problem in the campaigns, where you keep flying the same jet.

Would it be technically and economically (cost-benefit ratio) possible to not only tie a combo to a livery, but also have that livery change/degrade over time? So for example, for a couple of  missions the ACM panel is clean, then next mission you get the tape, then for the next 3 an enterprising maintainer does the wire job, and lastly the plate? Until the "cruise" is over and back at the shore a new ACM panel gets installed.

I'm looking forward to the ability to control the elements of the "Forge". As someone who also creates videos, including shots in cockpit view, it's important for me to have that control. Also if I create missions set in the earlier tomcat days (since we dont have the early A variant yet), it is a bit of an immersion breaker if the jet looks like it has reached the end of its lifespan. I get that some / maybe even many Tomcats might have looked like that after some time, still I'd like to be able to have control over elements like that. I also hope that you find ways to implement it into the mission editor - not via writing arguments into LUA files.

Modules: F-14A/B | M-2000C | AJS-37 | Mi-24P F/A-18C | A-10C II | F-16C | UH-1H | F-5E | Mi-8 | FC 3 | AV-8B | A-4E | Gazelle | Ka-50 | Yak-52 | CE2

That would basically equal almost like leaving it on random, else I dont think this will be quite possible. Downside of random will be with in mission spawn sets though.

As I understand it, it'd be under control of campaign creator. He'd have to make different combos for a livery and change it for subsequent missions.

I hope there will at least be an option for none. Otherwise have to hope some great modder will come up with something to remove them.

Well not a great modder, but one reasonably passable at least did 😉
