Ah, see, this is my problem right here.
When I load in the F-14 the camera defaults to somewhere off the map, F1 stops working and F2 sets me back to the 3rd person view of the plane that won't respond to my controls. The sound of the engine works though, I'll try the F16 beta v5 to see if that's the right one.
I had a lot of problems with that before moving to BAT. It's almost always a cockpit problem.
Although I never had problems with the f14, if I did with the f16 and f18, the Jet Cockpit Common Materials (see 06 / Feb / 2019) solved this for me.
Maybe installing it will solve that problem, since the f14 appears in a part
"Jet Cockpit Common Materials" is needed only for special made Jets using this pack contents in their cockpits.

When you have not installed the Jet(s) need it ..... you don't need to install this pack.
