LuckyZero Posted October 19, 2024 Share Posted October 19, 2024 Hello! I'm planning to make a vf-143 f-14b for 2002. I'm asking because I'm so confused while looking for the data. What is the small display of the F-14B RIO cockpit for? I don't know if the picture I found is f-14b, but this picture doesn't have a small display. However, the 3D cockpit decal has a small display. Does the f-14b in 2002 have to have a display? Or should there not be any? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ijozic Posted October 19, 2024 Share Posted October 19, 2024 That should be the CDNU unit, apparently installed as part of the OFP320 upgrade starting in 1999. https://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/document?repid=rep1&type=pdf&doi=489894d0f53809356019da11adb25d91c30bd431 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whiskey Posted October 19, 2024 Share Posted October 19, 2024 I was gonna say, I thought it had to do with the JDAM delivery system in the B’s and D’s but couldn’t remember off the top of my head. Too bad Quinta got its placement wrong on their decal however. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The original pic above is probably from a jet that hasn't been modified yet. Steve "TOMCATS FOREVER, BABY...!" Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, the linked document mentions the OFP317 upgrade (1997) as containing the PTID unit, etc. as seen on the photo, but before the CDNU was installed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
