Spolier Brake ?

[HawkeyeHHDF]

I haven't seen any landings as of yet , I'm assuming Spolier Brake has been modeled, and will the spoilers automatically drop when throttles hit military?

[turkeydriver]

I think its safe to assume they will function just like IRL.

This is not a detail that would have been overlooked. No DCS aircraft is ever missing a flight control surface.

I didn't think they would just haven't seen any landings to see just was curious thanks though

Aren't the spoilers on the wings?

[Bloodhound57]

A bunch of that stuff is from 3 years ago. They also said three years ago that the Tomcat would launch with a theatre.

Yeah the spoilers are on the wings , 2 outboard and 2 inboard on each wing, I have seen the spoilers themselves in action , Spolier brake is an additional function of the spoliers which pops all 8 spoliers up but when throttles are set to military they will automatically retract, there is a switch in the throttle quadrant that makes that happen. And I am sure it has been modeled I just haven't seen it yet and was a system I worked on and was curious.

I think accepting the level of detail that has been shown thus far looking when reading updates and watching the videos that have been posted means also that its certain that the system you're looking for is present.

 

If you have read the updates in particular the systems used when landing and how the F-14 is controlled during that phase, you'll note that your questions have been answered indirectly. The spoilers are there and they will work.

Just to think, they had an entire team work on that single piece.

Yes - of course - all flight control surfaces are modeled and their appropriate hydraulic, aerodynamic (and other) effects :)

Thanks for the reply Cobra !

 

Hawkeye is our resident Tomcat guru in CVW-11. We're all aboard the hype train for the Cat !

Thanks for the reply Cobra and I figured as much , definitely looking forward to flying the plane I spent so many years fixing lol

For a time there i thought you were referring to the direct lift control system :)

Lol nope

That is a great picture. I can't wait to see what it looks like inside of the sim.

[HawkeyeHHDF]

Yeah no doubt definitely excited

This is from DCS. Thought I worded that clearly enough :smilly:

The ultimate compliment.

[Reflected]

The only thing that made me wonder if it's from DCS and not real life is the sky in the background! :o
