BlackLion213 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 The Tomcat uses Automatic sweep for the wings - ie it adjusts to speed to maintain the best flight profile. The wings can also be manually swept by the pilot - they can even be asymmetrically swept - and tests were carried out with asymmetrical wing sweep. :joystick: True, though building on your post it's worth mentioning that the asymmetric sweep tests required disconnecting the sweep interlock (that ensures symmetry) and the actuator to one wing. The disconnected wing is kept at 20 degrees while the other swing is swept back with it's actuator for testing. There have been rare instances of an actuator and the interlock failing in the fleet and leading to a small asymmetry (few degrees), but the dramatic pictures of one wing at 20 deg and the other at 68 deg was just for testing....including LNS: Otherwise, pilots kept the system in "automatic" ~90% of the time and only selected manual mode for a few specific reasons (generally to improve precision): aerial refueling, aerial gunnery practice, parade formations, and the SHB. https://fightersweep.com/837/the-ultimate-carrier-break/ Most pilots manually swept their wings for the break, ostensibly since the delta effect allowed them to bleed speed better since most F-14s entered the break around 400 knots (sometimes higher as the above article mentions :D). Keeping the wings swept till around 280 knots allowed more rapid bleeding of airspeed, though they had to watch their AOA carefully since it could really build up at low speeds and lead to some yaw instability with the wings swept. Probably the more accurate reason is that an F-14 in the break without swept wings doesn't look cool....but they found some justifications nonetheless. :music_whistling: -Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev2go Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 (edited) So gentlemen lets place out bets. Which one will be out first.? F14A/B or the F/A18C ( which has been in development for nearly an eternity) Seriously LN, if you guys release this before ED's hornet my mind will seriously be blown. I was thinking it would be the latter, but with all this progress being shown, Its starting to look like the Tomcat will the first to pop out.

VIKBELL Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 There is a huge amount of work that has to be done so late 2017 or early 2018. There are 2 categories of fighter pilots: those who have performed, and those who someday will perform, a magnificent defensive break turn toward a bug on the canopy.

Buzzles Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 There is a huge amount of work that has to be done so late 2017 or early 2018. You're guessing at it being "huge". Cobra has now said 2017 and they've been showing bits of it off during 2016 (images+gifs), so you could also say there's only a few features left to do along with polishing... We just don't know. Keen eyed people however will have spotted not all of LN are listed in the manual for the Viggen as working on it, yet we know they're still part of LN. Parallel teams are a thing you know :) Fancy trying Star Citizen? Click here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baz000 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 To celebrate the news that Cobra gave us about the Tomcat being deployed to the fleet in 2017... Since you guys can't see me jumping for joy when I read that... I made a Fan made teaser video to get you ready to kick the tires and light the fires, I must apologize for my camera-work I don't understand yet how to use cameras in DCS. Hope all of you enjoy, and Cobra I can't wait to scare the hell out of some Soviet Bear bomber crews Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dino Might Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 I'm still way too excited about the upcoming release. The earlier the better, but just knowing it will be sometime in 2017 is fantastic. The news about the LNS F-14 is what started me on DCS years ago. I have been waiting impatiently for it with each passing month. Fortunately, that has let me sink my teeth into a number of aircraft and really learn how to go about playing with each new module. If it's earlier in the year, great! If it's later this year, then I'll have moved into my new place and put together a nice setup with new Dora pedals from Slaw. So, either way, it's a HUGE win! The pit building will follow soon thereafter :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
