IRIAF F-14 in Blue Camo

Note: I edited this skin to better match the quality of the other skins, since I got a little better at working with things as I went along. This update gives the Blue Camo version the reflective leading edges on the tail components that I just didn't really get on the first try, and then the markings have been updated to look better, and less overly bright and vibrant. It also has some of the stencil markings fixed as well. Feel free to re-download if interested and then simply drop the zip file into your F-14 liveries folder like the old one. A quick picture of the updated skin is available in the last picture here.

This is a fill in for the Iranian Air Force F-14 while we eagerly await the proper Heatblur version. There are likely some imperfections and issues, since finding high resolution reference materials is a bit tough. I tried to accurately recreate the warning stencils and markings per what I could find online. If you've got any corrections, feel free to reach out on the forums and let me know. From the digging I've found on the internet, the IIAF received a variety of bombs/missiles/drop tanks with their F-14 orders, and they appeared to be left white. As painful as it is for me to look at, it appears the Phoenix rails are also left white, at least on the photos I was able to track down of the IRIAF operating them.

The pilots and helmets have been customized based on some references I could find to help them look a little unique. They likely don't apply to the current pilots, as they appear to be on pilots from the Iran Iraq War, but it felt like those old pilots had helmets too cool to not borrow some elements from.

UPDATE: 07/29/2024 - I've corrected a small issue with the description file. Previously it would show up as "Unzipped Blue Camo" which was annoying to me, so I corrected it and re-uploaded it. If you want to correct it yourself, you can simply unzip the file and change the name, or if you want the Easy Button, just re-download here.

UPDATE: 10/30/2024 - The previous correction had one of the layers move slightly, causing a weird line down the nose. If you notice that, you can re-download this version.  Also removed the metallic leading edges to match the real ones. Thanks to ZmBr123 for catching that. Sorry everyone's having to re-download it a million times, but this should be final!
