📋 About This Mod
For players, this mod does nothing on its own. Your F/D-14 will still be an F/D-14.
For modders, this mod features a re-unwrapped UV map for the F/D-14. Previously mirrored and stacked parts of the aircraft now have unique places, stretching has been reduced where possible, and inconsistencies with the aircraft's ORM have been resolved.
Accordingly, this will (hopefully) serve as a useful resource for skin makers, offering some new options and rendering the skin-making process for this aircraft simpler than it was before. The usual disclaimers should apply: Sector D2's development/support of Project Wingman has yet to end, so this mod could be rendered obsolete in the future if they decide to improve the F/D-14's UV maps themselves. Be aware if you opt to make any skins with this mod.
Contact Lavernius Regalis#9919 on the Project Wingman Discord server with any questions or requests. I also have an XCF template which is higher-detail albeit less-organized than the one here on Nexus available for skin-makers - just ask and I can send it to you directly.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- 530 endorsements — this UV map is trusted by the skinning community.
- 13,010 downloads shows it's widely used for F-14 livery work.
- Clean, focused mod: one purpose, no bloat.
⚠️ Cons
- Only useful for F-14 skin creators, not general players.
- Description doesn't name the specific game, so you'll need to figure out where it goes.
For F-14 skin makers who hit walls with the default UV layout. If you're painting custom liveries for the Tomcat, this gives you more room to work. Skip if you just want to fly with downloaded skins — this won't change anything visually on its own.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use the new UV layout in a 3D painting app like Blender or Substance Painter to see exact mapping.
- Keep the stock UV map handy as a fallback if your existing skins don't align.
- When exporting your repainted textures, use DDS format with mipmaps for best performance in flight sims.
