Thirdwire has been making nice cockpit for all its planes but this is one of the worst they have ever made, I am kinda surprised since its the f14 and an important release for them.

I am sure there will be mods out to fix it though.

I think it's ok. Not the best, but not the worst. The F-100 pit looks worse, IMO. But I think you are right about the mods. They'll be here soon enough.

Yet I fly the F-100 more than any other, it seems . . .

Why not import the user made F-14 pit and amend the inis to use TKs features?

What's a more likely scenario is that someone is furiously fiddling away at their keyboard right now, adapting the ThirdWire F14avionics.dll file to the TMF Tomcat.

I think you can use RazBam's pit in his A-6E for SF1. I've heard you can use it in the SF2 games. Razbam's Intruder costs $16. I've thought about getting it.

Been considering that purchase as well, though I don't think it's a TRAM variant, could be wrong.

It just looks bad because the textures are all washed out with no contrast. Same with the ships. If you open up the textures in an image viewer you can see there are actually lots of details but the contrast is so low they're invisible.

Hmm... It comes with an A-6A and an A-6E pit, correct? Might be worth $16. I've heard you can add a CCIP in lieu of working DIANE system.

Anyone think it's worth it? I know the planes themselves are not SF2 compatible.
