VIKBELL Posted May 13, 2017 Posted May 13, 2017 Nice to see the progress...l 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. Robert Shaw

Darkbrotherhood7 Posted May 14, 2017 Posted May 14, 2017 (edited) Damn it's looking really good! How long until we see the F-14B cockpit model? Cause as I see it is currently using the F-14A internal model (as a placeholder I know) with F-14B external model. Also, can't wait to see it using the VF-103 livery. :) Edited May 14, 2017 by Darkbrotherhood7 Mission: "To intercept and destroy aircraft and airborne missiles in all weather conditions in order to establish and maintain air superiority in a designated area.

Kippy Posted May 14, 2017 Posted May 14, 2017 (edited) As much as I love the A-10C, I can truthfully say that the F-14 is shaping up to be my favorite module. I can't wait to take my first cat shot and make my first trap! Keep up the fantastic work! Edited May 14, 2017 by Kippy 163rd vFS Discord Soaring With the Snakes, Fangs Out!

ФрогФут Posted May 14, 2017 Posted May 14, 2017 Why is on-speed AoA indicator shows landing speed with TVV below the nose? I don't think they really land into invisible zone.

westr Posted May 14, 2017 Posted May 14, 2017 The model shape looks ridiculously good. It's such a big jet we will get a whole lotta module for our money. Love the deck bounce upon landing.

I'm a pilot myself and this is actually quite common when you sit like you do while not landing :D Just lean forward and/or lift head a bit. edit: It's of course more important for carrier landings but we have verified that approach alpha and glideslope is correct so i think it's mainly a matter of viewpoint :) Edited May 14, 2017 by swither /Daniel Heatblur Simulations

Maximum landing GW - 54K lbs. Pitch angle is around 8 degrees. If AoA is 15 units and it is linear in the -10..+40 degrees, it means, that real AoA is 15 degrees (raises questions itself, as this is more, than any plane i know). It results in - 7 degree glideslope. It is a lot. Carrier approach is always visual. You always control the meatball. Even under AP you would control it's operation not to end the flight in the back of the carrier. PS Frogfoot.

But that won't change alpha & glideslope since 15 units of alpha is always used. /Daniel Heatblur Simulations
ФрогФут Posted May 14, 2017 Posted May 14, 2017 Thing you're missing is that it's not alpha degrees, but units -10 +40 degrees = 0..30 units. As i said, if it's linear, 15 units = 15 degrees. Easy math. But the conversion being linear is still questionable. But that won't change alpha & glideslope since 15 units of alpha is always used. Questions about unit-degrees conversion and pilot view are still actual.:) "Я ошеломлён, но думаю об этом другими словами", - некий гражданин Ноет котик, ноет кротик, Ноет в небе самолетик, Ноют клумбы и кусты - Ноют все.

Questions about unit-degrees conversion and pilot view are still actual.:) Actually, that would make the problem even worse. Fortunately we have a number of good sources contradicting that conversion (including other NAVAIR manuals for the F14) :P Edited May 14, 2017 by swither /Daniel Heatblur Simulations
