ADF-11F Raven [Ace Combat Challange]

5,954 Maximum777  4.0 years ago

This is my ADF-11F Raven, I built it to be functional, It does just about everything the one in Ace Combat can do that SP will allow, here are its key features and functions. 1: in Ace Combat, it has this central fin on its belly that folds out when the wheels are retracted, this is used for roll control, I replicated it as best I could, it ended up working well. 2: A big plot point about this plane in the games is that It can "Leave its wings behind" when damaged and keep flying as just the ADF-11, and I made that work as well, press AG5 when flying to detach the raven from the ADF-11, you can even unfold the ADF-11's wings via putting the VTOL Slider all the way UP once disconnected from the raven. One caution with this feature however is to do this at slow speeds, under 200mph is safest, otherwise the disconnected raven may explode and will destroy the ADF-11 before it escapes, flying full throttle and pressing AG5 is not recommended. 3: thrust vectoring is used in Ace combat so I used it here, the exhaust from the engines is shown in the 3rd picture I included, one is pointing up and one is pointing down helping the plane roll, this also comes into play with pitch, this is another functionality that ended up working well. 4: the cockpit, although in Ace Combat you can see through the plane via its camera array this is impossible in SP so I did what I could, you can see through most of the nose but that is it. Finally just to mention some details, its made to look as realistic as possible while still being functional so there's some areas that are not 1 to 1 with the one in ace combat, not much I could do there, but the biggest issue is the weapons, it has lasers, there are no lasers, so I just used guns, and it has these missile bays in its wings, I could not replicate these. Final controls to mention, AG4 is the emergency missile release, it drops all the missiles just in case say ones been hit and is on fire, this makes the missiles also function like an ungui

    THIS IS THE CUT OFF PART OF THE DESCRIPTION: like an unguided bomb, you can drop your missiles onto something if you try. AG1 is the carrier arresting hook, and AG3 is a parachute for landing the ADDF-11 after you've left your wings behind, that's it, enjoy!
