r4y30n Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 So what's the deal with the Forrestal's wires? I read that it had 6 at one point and then it was cut to 4 but this one has 5... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banzaiib Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 not in near future yep, the 14D has a completely different flight control system than the A and B and most of the documentation on it is classified. <looks at Iran> I wouldn't expect them to ever do the 14D.

TLTeo Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 I thought this was an AI aircraft. At first yes, but they have strongly hinted that they'd like it to be flyable some day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blinde Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 F-14B has also been upgraded with Digital Flight Control System. I'm a bit lost with this F-14 digitalization. So with this DFCS, it basically means it had fly-by-wire system, thus preventing it from performing moves like overstressing, over G etc. with the previous analog system?

Banzaiib Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 (edited) F-14B has also been upgraded with Digital Flight Control System. Not the one we are flying... the ailerons aren't linked to the roll inputs... or maybe it's digital but it's not the same FCS the D had... there were so many block changes and upgrades that didn't correlate to version letters, it's really hard to keep track.

From what I found it does improve initial roll rate and roll-yaw coordination (improved departure resistance). Mirage fanatic !

Uxi Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Grumman had ideas (more than plans) on FBW. Possibly ST-21 but maybe not until ASF-21 which was always iffy. Definitely not Quickstrike or F-14D. Specs & Wishlist: Core i9 9900k 5.0Ghz, Asus ROG Maximus XI Hero, 64GB G.Skill Trident 3600, Asus RoG Strix 3090 OC, 2TB x Samsung Evo 970 M.2 boot.

Stratos Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Sorry If I haven't understood it properly, but is the Forrestal planned to be released during Q1? I don't understand anything in russian except Davai Davai! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lieuie Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 I'm a bit lost with this F-14 digitalization. So with this DFCS, it basically means it had fly-by-wire system, thus preventing it from performing moves like overstressing, over G etc. with the previous analog system? Just to clarify, the DFCS was not a fly by wire system but a more advanced stability augmentation system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaisedByWolves Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Sorry If I haven't understood it properly, but is the Forrestal planned to be released during Q1? Hard telling. It was supposed to be released last year. But I guess sometimes things change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronMike Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 (edited) Sorry If I haven't understood it properly, but is the Forrestal planned to be released during Q1? I would prefer to say asap instead, as you see whenever we try and give estimates we tend to fall a bit on our face again. We'll do everything to have it out as quickly as we can. And ofc, we hope that is Q1. Thank you all for your comments as well, I've read them all and taken them aboard. To answer just a couple of them: - The D version atm seems unlikely, due to lack of documentation of some of its inner workings (not the manual, which is not enough). Hopefully this will change some day, who knows. - EIG, etc.. as announced previously will come most likely with the cockpit "swap" for the A version (we are not really swapping cockpits, just parts). - The right engine bug is known, it is haunting us and so far we just have not been able to replicate it. This is what keeps us from fixing it. We just have the incredible "lack of luck" to never experience it ourselves.
