JaNk0 Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I know it's off topic, but that it's pretty cool....now make an F-14! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EchoMasterMind Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Here's an F-14 that I used to work on for a while. Kind of abandoned it before I got to finish the model though. Some parts are wrong due to lack of good references. Got this Swedish beauty in pipeline for ArmA III :) Oh, but I think we're getting quite off topic now, aren't we? 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildBillKelsoe Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Best of luck Leatherneck. I'm ready with the money whenever you say so... AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower. Open triangle is AWACS, closed triangle is your own sensors. Double dash is friendly, Single dash is enemy. Circle is friendly. Strobe is jammer. Strobe to dash is under 35 km. HDD is 7 times range key. Radar to 160 km, IRST to 10 km. Stay low, but never slow.

Gigidang Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 I was very excited when IRIS announced an F-14D some time ago but then the forum here was deleted and now i think this project has been canceled. But thanks to Leatherneck we will finally get an F-14. The F-14 is the beauty queen of all airplanes in my opinion and the screens are just amazing. I thank you so much for the dream to fly an F-14 is alive again and in a much better fidelity than ever expected. Great job until now, so keep rocking Leathernecks! :thumbup: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OB1 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Currently, heavy focus lies on creation of the AICS (Inlet Control System), Hydraulic System and Electrical System. These systems, together with the Engine and grouped control systems lay the basis for the construction of the swing-wing EFM that will capture the spirit and real performance of the F-14, Question: Does this mean the entire F-14 flight model will be based on an EFM ?

sobek Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Everything that does not have to do with the equations of motion and the integration of forces. That is done "inside" the API. Good, fast, cheap.

OB1 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 (edited) Ok, do we know what flight model is going to be used ? With the dynamic geometry of a swept wing aircraft is it too difficult to implement a PFM ? Edited April 9, 2015 by OB1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackLion213 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Ok, do we know what flight model is going to be used ? With the dynamic geometry of a swept wing aircraft is it too difficult to implement a PFM ? I think that they are striving for a true PFM experience, especially given that they are modeling all of these secondary systems. From my read, it seems that the real difference between PFM and AFM/AFM+ is the addition of specific modeling for hydraulics, electrical, detailed engine parameters that effect thrust/RPM/EGT, and other factors of performance that go beyond the modeling of forces/airflow alone. The difference between the PFM and AFM is small nuanced details that relate to the aircraft systems, the EFM has good provisions for modeling the physics. The question is how far will they take the systems and fill in the other gaps in the dynamics. It seems that they will take the systems quite far with a lot of detail (at least they are aspiring to). I think that variable geometry can still be modeled to EFM/PFM standards, just involves more computations since the output of the flight model (Speed, AOA, etc) will then influence the "air data computer" of the Tomcat, changing the wing sweep, and changing those parameters of the flight model. This will only be an issue above Mach 0.7 (when the wings start to sweep), till Mach 0.9. In any case, Aerosoft managed to make an excellent flight model for FSX/P3D without the benefits of EFM/PFM modeling tools. It feels really good (even compared to the new Su-27 PFM by ED, just lacks inertia on landing compared to Su-27) and really matches my readings of the Tomcat. I think that they can create an excellent flight model that will serve the Tomcat's memory well. Also, they should talk to John Cagle, the creator of the Aerosoft F-14, he really nailed the flight model even with FSX limitations! -Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
