T-B0NE Posted February 16, 2020 Posted February 16, 2020 (edited) Hey guys I have been noticing a possible wing sweep issue and just want to see if it is actually one at all. Currently, at full mil power with just tanks and Aim-9s the wings don't seam to reach full sweep anymore since the new update 2.5.6 at all Altitudes the wings only seam to reach full sweep once I push the throttles to full Reheat I've tried everything in regard to master reset and other than manually sweeping the wings full aft they don't seam to move past 61 not 68 they only way I can get them to reach 68 is with a totally clean F14b with no pylons or anything. My last test was at 8000ft (2.44 km) ASL IAS 515kn TAS 582kn if im worng i truly apologise hahaha :helpsmilie: Edited February 17, 2020 by IronMike
Bungle_uk Posted February 16, 2020 Posted February 16, 2020 Unable to test currently but that sounds about right. At 585 knots true your looking at about mach 0.88. Pushing into reheat takes you towards the transonic region where the wings will come back further to full sweep. Of course you could always command manual sweep to full. That said, I'm not an expert either :D
captain_dalan Posted February 16, 2020 Posted February 16, 2020 Wing sweep should be dependent on air speed and mach alone. They said they tweaked low and high edges of the envelope again, so maybe in that configuration, the plane was not able to reach mach 0.9?

draconus Posted February 16, 2020 Posted February 16, 2020 http://www.heatblur.se/F-14Manual/general.html#wing-sweep-system So OP test parameters means M0.9 and that means around 61 degrees of wing sweep which means no bug.

T-B0NE Posted February 17, 2020 Author Posted February 17, 2020 Thanks for the reply Thanks heaps for the reply Lads its had me a bit stumped I know they changed up some of the drag values in this update and I wasn't sure if that may have been causing a thrust or aerodynamic performance issue :/ I guess I may have just been overthinking this hahahaha thanks again for your replies. :)
IronMike Posted February 17, 2020 Posted February 17, 2020 I dont think that is a bug, but I forwarded it to fat creason, so he can double check. Thanks.

draconus Posted February 17, 2020 Posted February 17, 2020 Tested yesterday @2.5.6. At some point at 15000ft I had TAS 582, at MIL power, M0.9, WS Auto set about 61 degrees, then accelerated further over M0.95 reaching full sweep of 68 degrees easily.
