Ok everyone chill out. I am quite versed in business so let me try to explain this. There is a difference between profit and revenue. Most of that 4 million (if that figure is right) will go back into the business or go to costs and little is actually leftover as it takes a lot of money to run a video game platform. There's money going to servers, development costs, employee payments, which are probably average, and there's a multitude going other places. Subtract the costs from the revenue and you get profit, probably not much since the costs of the videogame world. If that figure is even scaled the same thing happens. Like @WNP78 said, they dont have 16 extra employees so revenue is also probably less.
Also, an engine upgrade is being studied for the F-35 which would improve efficiency by 5% or boost thrust by 8-10% so there is quite a bit of wiggle room left on those estimations
I actually did a bit more research on the engine myself lol. The flight testing done so far says it can hit 1.6 but they haven’t pushed that envelope yet. Doing some calculations by comparing thrust weight ratios with the f-16 i calculate that the F-35s maximum speed is closer to Mach 1.8. If we were to add airflow ramps to the intakes however, I assume it could reach up to Mach 2 or higher. Another thing to add... the F-35 only gets into supersonic at afterburner but once you get it supersonic it has really good energy and speed retention only needing to put the throttle on minimum afterburner. The F-35B and C cannot go as fast because of the widened fuselage which adds much more drag. I assume that those two could probably only reach 1.8-1.9 with airflow ramps. 1.6 is probably much more accurate for the b and c models. BTW the 1.6 base number is basically it’s combat speed bc most of the time you won’t be going Mach 2+ in a actual combat scenario when you have lots of fuel and weapons.
@ollielebananiaCFSP
@ollielebananiaCFSP lol i know a lot about planes if you couldn't tell. But next time you talk about specific planes pleeasee do some research. A lot of people out there that basically spread disinformation bc they don't know what they are talking about. Not trying to be rude just trying to help. :)
Also, all of our other jets are susceptible to cyber-attacks EXCEPT the F-35 which has now been updated and does not have the same 70s-90s programing the f-15 and f-16 have
Oh god🤦🏼♂️. This is the thing that ppl don’t understand, yes the F-35 has some major drawbacks, but it has many features not even the F-15E has. For example the high powered radar, the extremely small radar cross-section(which is so small you will have visual range combat before your radar detects it), and the sheer technology inside the jet. The F-35 is much more capable than any of our current fighters even the F-22. The F-16 while being able to carry more weapons is much older and is vulnerable to new radar jamming techniques. The F-35 is also getting a new air to air missile which will increase its lethality twofold. The F-35 right now is not even in full scale production and the fact that it outclasses any of our current fighters should be indicative of what we will get when it’s finished.
@ollielebananiaCFSP
The fact that the F-35 takes a while to get to Mach 1 is the main problem with the F-35. With its underpowered engine and now it’s new flight restrictions it’s pretty hard to do supersonic intercepts which are important.@ollielebananiaCFSP
Actually engagement ranges deal heavily with how fast you are going. It’s called lethal range and is heavily influenced by speed and altitude@ollielebananiaCFSP
@ollielebananiaCFSP the f-35 cant reach supersonic without afterburner btw. That's why there is such a controversy with the pentagon restricting the time you can have your afterburner engaged on the F-35B and C models
It really would be nice to have a thrust vectoring F-35. They literally just could have slapped on some F-22 nozzles on the A version and it would have made it much more maneuverable. Then it would be able to beat an f-16 in a turn fight smh.
Something about it makes it look cartoonish... might be the cockpit try looki mg at the edges a bit more and then tune them. Or maybe it’s that it doesn’t have details yet...
Ok most planes never reach their max speed in this game. If you want a detailed physics analysis I would recommend you to talk to ChiChiWerx who has mentored me. The system I use I feel works the best.@edensk
Honestly I don’t like always making my custom surface bc they take forever to get right sometimes so I think a wing reshape would be nice and I don’t think it would be that difficult
@unCANNY I cant take off or turn it though. And there is a problem with the engines you should be able to hold a 10 degree climb and the speed not drop. Youve got some things to work on in terms of flight models but on everything else it seems good.
go stick your head in the dishwasher. for fun. jk lmao

I thought the devs said they weren't gonna do SP2
Cool
Btw you did the nose shape much better lol
I can always flight test lol I am very familiar with the jet.

Might ditch all my other projects and make an F-35 as it is my favorite plane and I know a lot about it.

The f-35 is NOT a support jet

Here’s an article describing the need for speed on the F-35@ollielebananiaCFSP
Actually engagement ranges deal heavily with how fast you are going. It’s called lethal range and is heavily influenced by speed and altitude@ollielebananiaCFSP
Although it accelerates too fast other than that I really really like it!
i updoot gud realistik plan lol

K it must have been the details then@Hedero
Something about it makes it look cartoonish... might be the cockpit try looki mg at the edges a bit more and then tune them. Or maybe it’s that it doesn’t have details yet...
It’s only possible if you take your phone and then you turn it into a pc but that’s the only way
Wow really really nice I like the CIWS especially
Is it basically an added XML property? because being able to scale the heat haze would be awesome
Ive done it. check out my ejection seats on my t-38 its basically just the same code as lg stuff
ah, yes the weird cockpit version
Btw nice mg 42! What did you idea as a template?@Locurapuntocom
Being drag points to probably 5-7k and have realistic engine power and you would be golden
Ok most planes never reach their max speed in this game. If you want a detailed physics analysis I would recommend you to talk to ChiChiWerx who has mentored me. The system I use I feel works the best.@edensk
Engine power might be too low as well you need to do the exact thrust and then adjust drag points this plane needs about 1000-1500 drag points
Drag points are too low and it does turn fast but it’s pretty good
Flaps don’t work for some reason although idk if the mirage even had flaps delta wings sometimes dont
Finishing a project
Honestly I don’t like always making my custom surface bc they take forever to get right sometimes so I think a wing reshape would be nice and I don’t think it would be that difficult
Hey don't leave out Jimmy Doolittle
BTW I love the high G tank drop mechanic
@stevemc01 click
@stevemc01 There is a new proximity one that you can use but this one just adjusts the lifetime perameter in xml
@tsampoy i have no idea thats why im asking lol
@BagelPlane I guess ill look at some of his stuff
@edensk No thats not what im looking for... This is specifically for ground vehicles btw great to see you again!
@rexzion Its an SPG mounted on a HEMTT type chasis
@unCANNY I cant take off or turn it though. And there is a problem with the engines you should be able to hold a 10 degree climb and the speed not drop. Youve got some things to work on in terms of flight models but on everything else it seems good.
@rexzion bruh im not gonna tell you lol its a suprise
Its awesome except for that it has no pitch authority
Hmmm looks a bit too wide but that could just be the angle looks really good other than that @Hedero
Is this the 2000?
Man this isn’t good y’all are Lyon. 😂 jk looks real nice 👌🏻
That line is from the simpsons smh@Hedero
