H-116 Swift Remaster (WIP)

29.2k VenusLancer  5 months ago

This remaster of this Low Budget F-16 replica has various changes

Proportions changes

this version have a longer fuselage, a little shorter wings, and bigger rudder, to make it more similar to a F-16

Control and stability remade

the old H-116 uses a center of mass in front of the center of lift, causing that the elevator constantly has to rotate and make a load in the tail for turning, loosing a important part of the lift, this one, has aerodynamical unstability, that causes to rotate the elevators only a fraction of seconds to change the angle of attack, and a little of counter-pitch to regulate the inertia (in less words is much more manuevable, and fly better at lower speeds)

Camouflage temporally removed

the resize of the plane and obsolete methods to reduce the lag in the camo blocks forced me to eliminate it, but im planning to remake it (maybe with labels instead of blocks)

Thrust-weight and speed

I increased the Thrust-weight balance in the plane, but also i changed the drag points of the fuselage, making it better in acceleration, but has a lower top speed (Mach 1.8 instead of the 2.0 that had before)

Predicted Problems

Now this fighter uses a digital assistance, that is vulnerable to control loses if you have lower Fps than 30, or that short-freezes that are caused for vehicle spawning, i reduced a little that problem increasing the drag in the elevators, that make you recover from a stall even being a unstable model

    i was testing the aircraft, and i noticed that is a excelent AI Fighter, being capable to fly and dogfight even without wings...
