The Flying Tennis Court V3.0 (Teaser)

85.2k ReinMcDeer  2.4 years ago

Now that finals are over, I decide to remake my favorite fighter jet, the F-15C Eagle.

It's in a relatively early state and right now, I'm focusing on the flight model. (But, it is past the stage of funky coloration.)

This will also be the first aircraft to have NATO missiles rebalanced to be on par with the current standard set by the Su-30, so this should be a good matchup for fighting it.


From this point on, I'm making the afterburning engines more realistic by using Blasto BFE300's for thrust without afterburner and Blasto BFE150's for afterburner. Right now, the current throttle setup is 0-85% normal, 85%-90% max power without afterburner, and >90% afterburner.

And unlike my previous F-15C (V2.0), the inlets work correctly, adjusting for angle of attack rather than G-force.


Right now the part count is 188 with 1040 performance cost. Given that in its current state, it is missing a majority of weapons, landing gear doors, the camouflage, and various other small details, I estimate that the final build will be around 300-350 parts, hopefully below.

Oh, and don't mind the inlets and fuel tank block, they're placeholders.

    @UmbrellaCorporation Building wise I can't really help since I have little experience with that and it is a case-by-case issue, but I imagine it would involve a lot fuselage cutting and hollow fuselages.
    For the FT though, I would try using the TargetSelected and SelectedWeapons on a hinge.
    TargetSelected | SelectedWeapon="name of weapon in bay" ? 1 : 0 is pretty basic, but it should be a good starting point.
