**Bunyap Pre-Alpha Video - F-14 Carrier & More!**

[Cobra847]

Dear All,

 

Bunyap was awesome enough to take the time and help us with releasing some very early carrier physics trapping and mechanics footage!

 

We've made a lot of progress over the past few weeks in implementing appropriate physics forces and other mechanics that allow for extremely accurate carrier trapping mechanics. This also brought with it a lot of work on the suspension of the aircraft.

 

Big thanks from the LN team to Bunyap and his awesome work to the community

 

Enjoy!

Thanks for sharing guys, looking great

[Texac]

These carrier landing physics look superb!

[MiG21bisFishbedL]

YES

[rrohde]

Nice to see something a bit more tangible like this. Wow! :thumbup:

[Silver_Dragon]

Thanks Cobra

[Agremont]

Thanks Cobra!

 

Are my eyes decieving me or is that a couple of Viggens flying about?

 

If it is then Cobra you big tease! :D

[Redglyph]

Nice, thanks! :thumbup:

[JaNk0]

Thanks Cobra!

If it is then Cobra you big tease! :D

 

My thought too!

[Buzzles]

Yeeeeesssssssssss. :thumbup:

 

Nice to see good progress on this. Carrier traps look as difficult and nerve wracking as I expected them to be.

[javelina1]

Woot!!! thank you! can't wait.

Hopefully, this silences the "WHEN IS IT COMING OUT" mob, at least for a little bit. Clearly, the model is under development and actively being worked on.

 

Something we all need to remember is that they're not just going for authenticity - they're going for full-blown fidelity. It's not enough to give us a feel for what flying the Tomcat was like, which is what most sims go for. Instead, they're going to essentially resurrecting the F-14 in an environment that is essentially a copy of the world we live in, physics and all. This requires a level of time and effort well beyond anything we've seen in the development of any simulator in the past and, therefore, will take a whole heck of a lot of time.

 

So I say once again - LNS, please take all the time you need!

SHE LIVES!

 

Thank you SO MUCH for sharing this footage guys! Couldn't believe my eyes when I first seen the link :D

 

Keep up the great work!

[TAW_Blaze]

Awesome! Although with that touchdown I'm pretty sure the nose gear should've collapsed and then plane would've gone splat. :D

[Rangi]

Great update, thanks Cobra and Bunyap.

[Tirak]

[Donut]

Holy macaroni and cheese! Thank you Cobra and Bunyap! I am reading what I can on the F-14 and practicing ACM with the F-5 in preparation for this release. Keep up the great work, I can't wait!!!

Looks fantastic!

 

I hope the slow refresh rate of the HUD will be an option though. I'm happy to pass on that aspect of realism for a more pleasant experience.

I've no doubt the F14 module will be absolutely fantastic!

[Skjold]

Awesome, great to see some WIP content from you guys again.

[GaryIKILLYOU]

awesome

[Bufo]

Thanks for the update!

[BlackLion213]

Loved watching! Thank you for the first video update. :D

 

BTW, are those Viggens dancing in the background around 1:56? :)
