OK good guys, here is what I did and FS9 did not do.
1. Uninstalled FS9 totally - got rid of everything - clean
2. Reinstalled FS9
3. Installed the FS9.1 update.
4. Ensured that the system would work (ran a simulation) - OK
5. Downloaded fs14fs9a.zip from this site.
6 Opened the zip and put the F14BTomcat folder into the aircraft folder of FS9
7. F14B folder contained model, sound, panel, and some other files.
8. The gauge files have two sub folders in them. I put the sub folders in the root gauges folder. They were tomcat, tomcatvc and rcb-gauges folders
9. I put the seven fx_F14.. effect files in the effects folder.
10. That should do it according to the write ups that I have seen so far. So I fired up FS9 and guess what
NO F14 TO BE FOUND....
11. My assumption is that the aircraft should show up in the aircraft selection when creating a flight.
Come on guys, I am computer and aircraft litterate, What's the secret hand shake?? Everybody seems to think it's easy. But to date nothing has worked. (bummed out) 😞
