F-14 Ultimate VR Xperience (F14VUX) v2.6
by Mike "Waze" Wazowsky
22 MAY 2023
This mod is meant to help Tomcat crews using VR to:
1. make the cockpit as readable as possible, day and night.
2. Improve performance by reducing texture size.
**********************************************************
UPDATES
**********************************************************
V2.6
- Reduced cockpit and instrument lights intensity (alpha level reduced on cockpit textures).
- Added grease-penciled radar azimuth reference marks around TID.
- Improved radio digital display readability (many thanks to Vuldur).
****************************
DESCRIPTION
****************************
Main features:
- lightweight cockpit textures, virtually no loss of quality in VR.
- tweaked most lights and panel writings for improved visibility.
- added lit position indicators for rotary knobs.
- still has a worn out feeling to it.
- Customized UI and menu.
- JSGME friendly.
**********************************************************
INSTALLATION
**********************************************************
Method 1 (Recommended): just use JSGME or OVGME...
Method 2 (NOT Recommended): backup your original files then overwrite corresponding folders.
**********************************************************
ISSUES
**********************************************************
- Probably not IC friendly...
- Flap/wheels/airbrakes indicator backlighting is weak. Same problem is in the original cockpit.
- No AN/ALE-39 backlighting, same as original cockpit (any clue why?)
- Pilot's ASYM LIMITER/ENG MODE panel with no backlight, same as original cockpit.
