This looks amazing, the one thing that would make it better would be turning on smooth front and back on the fuselage pieces.
My Gripes:
You wouldn’t be able to fit a gun in the place it is on this, and the gasses from firing it would go straight into the air intake. The cockpit is too short (you can barely see over it), but that’s it! Other than that this is awesome, this should be front page!
@ToeTips
I’m making some modifications to this, don’t know if I’m gonna upload it, but I’m having issues. It’s been working well enough, but now all of the sudden it will continuously roll (typically left, but it can roll right too) without any input.
@Stephen22
I can’t tell if you’re joking. If you’re talking about the glove vanes, I know about those. These canards from the teaser don’t exist on any Tomcat and in my opinion don’t quite fit in with the rest of the build.
@ToeTips
I think it’s great, it’s supposed to be like the Tomcat after all. I know you aren’t trying to make a 1:1 Tomcat replica, so I’ll try to filter out my notes on the inaccuracies of the Tomcat.
1: Wing Sweep
The wing sweep is automatic (but has a manual and emergency [hydraulic] mode) and especially for a 5th Gen aircraft, I think the wing sweep would be automatic.
2: Wing Shape
Over all, it’s looks pretty good. I would have extended the trailing edge of the wing root, as it makes the aircraft look more realistic and less weak, and it would fill in most of the gap between the ruddervators. Just a personal preference, but something I think I should say.
3: Heads Up Display.
The HUD would I believe stay stationary above the glare shield, even if it’s displayed from the HMD. The Velocity Vector and Pitch Ladder are not accurate anywhere but pointing in the same direction as the nose.
Notes: The FBW and thrust vectoring is a little weird at times, but they’re far from easy to make a tune. Trust me. I’ve tried. (Semi-successfully)
I like the touch of automatic flaps, I think you would find those on most, if not all, 5th Gen aircraft.
Thanks for another great build, man!
(So sorry for another long comment!)
The cockpit looks great too!
One note though, the Vulcan Cam and the Rear Cam cameras are visible you can add hidePart under CameraVantage and set it to true. Then they will be invisible in-game.
Also why does someone also make something I made right after I do, but better. That camera shake from G-forces, I just made that for my tomcat, but now you do and it looks WAY better.
@Zaineman
I need a RIO purely so I can use him as the forbidden flare lol
But then again I wouldn’t need him if no one shoots at me, and who would shoot at a plane with… ahemMulticolored Killing Device.
I get that this isn’t exactly a realistic build lol, but I can’t help being a geek and seeing problems with the realism.
Where’s my RIO? I need a back seater in my Tomcat!
The wings gradually sweep back depending on the speed, not fully as soon as it breaks mach one.
Also, there’s no APU on the Tomcat.
Rainbow guns are highly realistic though, should be on every build.
@TjEDHow new to SimplePlanes are you?
Oh no… not another Tomcat that I’m gonna judge way to harshly…

@Walvis
How did you get the mouse to work as an axis? I tried but it doesn't detect it?
@Randomplayer
Bit of a run on with some of those sentences.
I’m disappointed.
There’s no WSO (Spelled WSO not WISO) onboard the F-14, it’s a RIO.
It's my biggest fan!
+3Now Imma use about fifty thousand of these to make a plane fly.
@Rolis
Thanks! :)
@ToeTips
You want a sneak peak of it? I can tag you on the unlisted post if you want.
@Rolis
Do you mind if I use these? I might, they look quite nice. I’ll credit you of course!
@ToeTips
How does the autotag thing work? For the future when my builds are actually decent.

@ToeTips
It’s closed.
@ToeTips
No, I didn’t know there was one!
@ToeTips
I know you don’t use VR, but I thought you might want to see it :)
@Randomplayer
Now that I’m thinking about it, I don’t really care what era anymore, you can build whatever you’d like.
@Stephen22
No it would explode unprovoked, not from the over-g mechanism I made
@Bobobobob
7:51.87
I’d estimate 7:50 for time between turning on and off the timer.
4:37.32
I ran out of fuel.
Imma try again
@Stephen22
Yeah it’s working now. Weird SimplePlanes crap. Probably didn’t work from a lack of an update.

I’ll fly it, then give you my critiques.

What do you mean that’s not the average of 6, 9, and 10?

My bad, but I ain’t a dummy. See? I would have said I ain’t no dummy, but I’m not stupid enough for double negatives. Lol

My second favorite Cessna!
(No not the 172, the 337 Skymaster)
Found a bug:
If you pitch up very slightly, it’ll pitch down.
I hit Mach 1.45 at <10ft. Nothing happened.
After reading the warning of transonic and supersonic speeds, I shall now proceed to do exactly that.
+1As a Viper fan, this is gorgeous!
The cockpit looks great too!
+1One note though, the
Vulcan Camand theRear Camcameras are visible you can addhidePartunderCameraVantageand set it totrue. Then they will be invisible in-game.@Zdeam12OG
That’s encouraging lol

You gonna make one or would you like me to, I’m open to helping.

Cool! Glad to hear you're better!

(TargetHeading - Heading) / 180IS THAT A SUPRA?!

Wait for it…!
