Hopefully soon. I'm working on designing my tandem pit to replace my hornet pit (if anyone reading this is interested in a Hornet pit, let me know, lol)... I really only need the LED info as most of my switches will work within DCS.

A-10C - FC3 - CA - L-39 - UH1 - P-51 - Hawk - BS2 - F-86 - Gazelle - F-5E - AV8B - F/A-18C

Working on keys for my streamdeck - does anyone happen to know what the font used inside the F-14 is, or its closest equivalent in Windows? I am getting reasonably close with Arial and Sans Serif, but they are obviously not the exact one used. Many thanks.

I'm not positive, but I know a lot of modern aircraft use Futura Medium and Futura Medium Condensed. And Gothic Condensed has popped up on some stuff I read a long while ago.

 

Font Style Design Requirements (from Man-System Integration Standards)

Requirements for the selection of font style are provided below.

 

a. Dark-Color Characters - Futura font shall be preferred. Commercial font styles for dark-color opaque alphanumerics on light-color opaque or transilluminated backgrounds and for hardware labels are indicated below in descending order of preference.

 

1. Fonts for engraved lettering:

 

a) Futura Demibold.

 

b) Gorton Normal.

 

c) Gorton Condensed.

 

2. Fonts for engraved numerals:

 

a) Futura Demibold.

 

b) Gorton Modern.

 

c) Gorton Normal.

 

3. Fonts for printed lettering and numerals:

 

a) Futura Demibold.

 

b) Futura Medium.

 

c) Alternate Gothic No. 3.

 

b. Light-Color Characters - Futura Medium type shall be used for transilluminated or light-color opaque markings on dark opaque backgrounds.

 

c. Fit Problems - The use of condensed type (Future Condensed) or abbreviations shall be the preferred method for solving line length fit problems rather than a reduction in type size.

 

d. Stenciled Characters - Stencil-type characters shall not be used on display/control panels or other equipment.

Also try MilSpec33558, http://www.fontsaddict.com/font/MilSpec33558.html Its usually on older stuff but who knows with Grumman.
