Name: SU-24 Fencer IRIAF 72 Squadron
Type: Repica with detailed paintjob
Attempt #: 1
Falkenwut Generation Build: 6
My first SU-24 in Islamic Replublic of Iran Air Force colors of the 72 Squadron - Shiraz Air Base
The Swing wing works in seperate stages as per the real SU-24 counterpart. It stages between 16, 34, 45 and 69 degrees at different levels of the Upper VTOL Control.
This has been a challenging build, plenty of room to improve. I have since improved in building technique.
The plane has been since fixed - here
Special thanks to @Dimkal for the KH-29 Missiles.

@Falkenwut Okay,
@Macrophage - that particular model was incorrectly uploaded, please follow this instead...
So if you wanted to use a blasto J 90 for the engines on this plane.
The engines thrust in SimplePlanes is 20233lbf
The engine thrust of a su-24s engine is 24700lbf
So the power multiplier would be 1.22
The equation I use is M=RT/SPT
M being the multiplier, RT being real thrust of the airplanes engine, and SPT being SimplePlanes engine thrust
Those numbers were just examples
Yes so when you go into the part selector you have all of the engines. Click on the engine you want to use and you find it’s thrust force. Real life thrust is the actual engines thrust in real life. The power multiplier can be used to manipulate the engines thrust to match one from real life.@Falkenwut
@ChrisPy Could you specify what you mean by:
SP thrust 4000
RL thrust 3000
Because I'm not sure what you mean here...
I’m not very patient so that’s why I take forever to do projects so I completely understand. But those 2 things should probably only take you an hour at most. I can show you the way to do it if you want me to @Falkenwut
@ChrisPy you'd be surprised... My guess is that upvotes more come from the popularity of the plane and certain level of perfection.. Something i'm not patience enough to do...
I really like your improvement though. BTW more detailed projects like this end up getting more upvotes although they do take longer.
Good shape and good job on the custom wings. It looks really good. There are a few things though that would make it better.
Engines: The end of the engines should look like this
Also, this accelerates way too fast make sure your power multiplier multiplies sp power by the multiplier to equal the real life engine power.
Ex:
SP thrust 4000
RL thrust 3000
then your power multiplier should be .75
then you adjust drag points to get your top speed at 30-35k ft.
Our poor bombers, lol
