F-14A
The main purpose of this build is the flight model. I spent a long time fine tuning the handling, energy/maneuvering characteristics, acceleration, top speeds, drag coefficients, and inner workings of the F-14- and I am glad to say that the flight model is actually done unlike last time. At this point, I will not add anything more to this as it is. I am okay with letting go of everything I didn't finish, I think it was unrealistic to expect myself to be persistent enough to put in the work for every single thing. Maybe once SP2 is out I may try again, hopefully with easier parts to work with, but for now I am retiring from working on this thing. I hope you enjoy flying it, it took me a very long time to get it to where it is.
The control setup is a little strange for sp, but is playable once you understand it
Control Setup Tutorial <- very important watch
Flying Characteristics <- works well enough
Ag1 - fun mode
Ag2 - nose strut kneel, was gonna be master arm
Ag3 - hook
Ag4 - ground armed spoilers
Ag5 - speedbrake
Ag6 - canopy
Ag7 - nose wheel steering
Ag8 - (genuinely not sure)

Tribute from a DCS pilot who ride on Tomcat. WELL DONE!!
@ccc12345 AG 1 STANDS FOR FUN MODE
THE FUN MODE DEFINITELY URGES ME TO HIJACK THIS F-14 AND TURN IT INTO A TRANSFORMER. THE BODY WORK OF THIS THING IS NEAR PERFECT AND THE TRANSFORMERS FIND IT WORTHY.
danger zone
Extraordinary work
@BaconEggs I see, I understand why given the control scheme though, it’s absolutely spectacular
F-14B ?, no, more like: F-14 BANGER!! 🔥🔥
dangerzone
@BaconEggs this dude probably plays on sum low physics smh
@ccc12345 never in the previous 2 years of making this did I have any issue with the connections so it must be a thing with your game/device
@BaconEggs I hope you don't take my words the wrong way. The design you made is beautiful, but the connections weren't made properly.
@ccc12345 me too. the f14 makes me weak every time I see one
Very weak 🤢
@F8boa nope
Does it have a gun?
damn
@BaconEggs dam.... honestly respect for working that long. And this looks beautiful so obviously you weren't just hanging on to it lol
CHAT AM I DREAMING
@NotRob119 i started it 3 years ago and after about 6 months my attention was won over by pretty much everything else i was working on lol
the project as a whole started 4 years ago with the cardboard f14... this is the 3rd build out of all of them and it ended up being my most finished one
Didn't this take you a year to build?
@SpearSystems only guesses... (within a week or two) in true me fashion i started doing the engine swap at the very last second right after i had already announced when id release this lol
@BaconEggs is there an estimated release date for the A-model? (I can’t stop flying this masterpiece btw)
@phrongus :piss_jeart:
@SomeSPGuyWhoLikesLore could be because i have a mod that turns down the editor lighting
