@ChiChiWerx @GeneralPatrick2 I prescribe a diving attack and using the second camera for sure, and also firing off all 24 rockets in one big salvo.
.
It's pretty much a 'T.L.A.R.' gunsight solution lol
Funny, my F-14D conversion was VF-2 as well. This one looks way less messy than mine though which is good lol
.
Fantastic improvment over your F-14A model. Loadouts are appreciated as always
@ReinMcDeer I suppose the use of ECM pods was considered enough for USAF fighters and fighter-bombers. On that note the USN had internal ECM equipment on their aircraft (not at first, but certainly as the war ran on)
Let me be that person for a moment
.
Ahem, ACKTSHUHLLEE
.
USN Aircraft carried chaff, not flares. USAF B-52's carried chaff as well, and the reason is actually pretty obvious given the equipment used by the NVAF; SAM counter. Maybe flares existed in the timeframe of the war, but as far as I can tell (and I'm not well read at all, so don't take my word) flares didn't come into use until after Vietnam for most countries.
@ChiChiWerx I added a small piece of code where if the VTOL slider is less than 0.2 they don't function. I was trying to replicate something I read on one of my info sources; the reaction jets didn't work unless the nozzles were at 20 degrees or greater, so it said.
@Falkenwut Both planes are setup the exact same way for paint schemes, so if you wanted to have the High-Viz scheme with missiles just repaint the Low-Viz
. I am thinking 40 multiverses ahead of y'all
@UserP194 Lockheed Martin bought out GD, so now they have ownership over the Viper. Same with the Hornets; originally made by McDonnell Douglas, now Boeing.
At GuyFolk's advice, I used Overload to adjust the dragscale on both wing pieces of the horizontal tails to 3 instead of the default 1. This makes cobras a little more feasible. Only do this to the wing pieces and not the fuselage parts that round out the correct shape.
@GuyFolk I thought about increasing drag on the tailerons. I'll try it. I'm a little more hesitant about changing the wing (cuz replica hurhur).
.
I worked the "flight model" with the idea that the pilot wouldn't really attempt it in a dogfight. So as much as I wanted to have that ability (ironically my first Su-27 did cobras pretty well) I'm glad this thing at least flies reasonably well.
@EdamCheese6 Or the classic "rough field conditions" thing Russia has always been good at doing.
.
There isn't a flying prototype yet, so I'm trying to keep speculation to a minimum. I don't think anybody except maybe Sukhoi/UAC knows what they want with the project.
One of the tailplanes has the roll input reversed. The plane goes up or down depending on which direction you roll. Probably wasn't intentional, but it's easy to miss.
Ah yes...the 2020's era Spinosaurus. I love the weirdness of this thing so much. As much as people want to stick to JP3 era Spino, this thing feels like an animal and not a glorified movie monster. I'd rather have that over awesomebro.
.
I like the colors on this build too. Verr minty :)
@VViiMini Honestly? That woman has probably seen so much change in the world during her lifetime it's weird to think about. How much change in the US has occurred in the timeframe she's been alive alone? (she's in her mid 90's now, yeah?)
. W a c k
@Fox00One Mockup isn't the same as a working prototype. Mockups generally are there to help visualize the final shape, size, proportions and such of the plane. The prototype will actually be built to fly (in theory lol).
@ReaperSpitz Piston to cycle, hinge rotators to mount the dish and for the cycling end of the piston, and then just nudging everything into place until it works correctly. I also rotated the dish to one side due to how I tweaked the piston.
.
Feel free to rip out the radar and study it for yourself.
Also I should mention it is possible to roll this normally with only slight roll input, but that doesn't seem like something a pilot would be keeping in mind to do during an actual fight so...eh?
@ChiChiWerx Hopped into the game quickly to test. It'll pretty much happen in any turn or climb. It's a pretty slight effect but it is there; I put the rollrate, gforce, and pitchrate debugs on screen and I'm getting 4-6 degrees, 3.5g, and around 10.5 degrees respectively at the top of a loop doing 450kt (full burner). Pretty much full backstick and either left or right stick. Doesn't work as well below...let's say 400ts.
.
Glad you like this one. I'm pretty happy with it as well; it feels the most believable of any of my replicas so far.
@ChiChiWerx @edensk @dTitanplanesb Right, that's what it was. My mistake.
.
Yeah it was completely on accident but as soon as it started doing that when test flying I went, "I have to keep it this way." Sadly the rudder doesn't seem to have the authority it needs to roll the plane at high AoA?
.
I recommend doing the pull-unload-roll strategy too.
@ollielebananiaCFSP Honestly? Because for as much as I stomp all over my builds I'm usually pretty happy with how each of them turn out, warts and all. I can do better but it's gonna be on my terms. It's how I've always been.
.
Plus my crappy Dell laptop (with an i3, for pete's sake) can only handle so much lol. I've definitely learned a lot since starting to make stuff on SP, but my overarching limit is that my computer can run each plane with tolerable slowdown. Hence trying to keep them to reasonable part counts and a certain 'style' I've developed.
Better Sea Harrier than mine lol

Nice work!
@Tomcatbetterthanhornet I just did an F-101. And yes an F-101B/CF-101 is in the future.
