Grumman F-14 TomCat

177k QuiteInactiveWhiteBread  5.2 years ago

This is another F-14, second attempt, VTOL up is sweep, VTOL down is flaps, AG1 missile jets, AG2 arrest hook, Also custom missiles! 100% throttle for afterburner(Note! when wings sweep on ground it tends to make the jet twist due to some glitch I dont know about... This replica flies really nicely, also is very fast(with afterburner)

Tell me what you think

    Lol idk what happened with the twist after you used the catapult! I mean when you go sweep mode on ground, the plane kinda rotates, not when you take off lol maybe you broke somthing while landing or damaged 😆 @R4P17

    @Shadowed it was the Tornado, Tomcat, and Aardvark. Except it was never widely used on the Tomcat due to how much drag they caused when the wings swept back

    @Inuyasha8215 it did, but they were on racks like the F/A-18 and would rotate to neutralize the wing angle

    @Diloph this is some constructive criticism but there are no weapon hard points on the swing-wing that’s on the f 111 not the f 14 and also the hard points are on the wing glove.

    @Diloph thats okay, I understand it your build but if you want to get a feel for the real plane realistic handling is key

    5.2 years ago
  • Profile image

    @ChisP thanks for this info man, I appreciate it, but, I dont need to if I dont want to, like its my build, my style, my flying characteristics, if you dont like it too much, idc but I do try to make it somewhat real acceleration, but I dont know how to make it go slow, and gradually gain speed, I make mine like just go and takes off real quick and idk how to fix that. but I call it a replica

    Overall it looks really good and is well built but the problem I have is that if its supposed to be a replica make it realistic

    @Diloph I've tried to tell this community that realistic handling and acceleration is important to have a REPLICA if you have crazy specs then It is not a replica. Acceleration in SP depends on lbs of thrust and drag points. I like to make sure my plane has the correct lbs of thrust and then I move on to fine tuning the drag points to achieve realistic max speed and acceleration.
