[REQUEST] Static F-14 wing should be swept


Recommended Posts

Posted

When placing F-14s on the carrier as static objects, the Mission Editor shows them with spread wings - unlike any other static carrier-aircraft. It'd be nice (and easier to place them next to each other) if they could be displayed in ME with the swept wing, the same as they appear in-game on the deck.

Cheers

ED has to do it as part of Supercarrier. Even their non HB F-14A (low res) would do the same thing in the mission editor.

 

Seconded, though. Along with chocks and chains.

Maybe I misunderstood you Uxi, but the ED F-14A does do exactly what Jagohu is asking for. As a matter of fact - I think - The HB F-14B used to this when it first came out, that is, its wings would fold back as soon as you linked it to the carrier when placing it on the deck as a static object. It would be nice if "they" could get it back to doing that again. :thumbup:

One more addition to the F-14 on the spawn topic: when spawned "UNCONTROLLED" it spawns with swept wings. However, upon Activation, the wings suddenly go to 16 degrees, and then come back to fully swept position, which is both unrealistic and it might damage other airplanes around.

It's not on ED side nor is it a Supercarrier issue. The HB Tomcat wings won't sweep when placing on the free Stennis either, and never have since Tomcat release.

Yeah it's an issue in the core game, not supercarrier.  Before supercarrier, IIRC there wasn't even had a carrier outline though so it was pretty rough trying to place anything.

Honestly, it would be nice to be able to choose if the wings are folded or spread, kind of like the cargo ramp for the static C-5 in the Military Aircraft Mod.

I'd love a static like this too, maybe with reduced polys and just using the LOD texture file:

As I remember, you have to link your HB cats to the carrier you are placing on, the wings will be swept then (it will still show as un-swept in ME, but will be swept when the mission is loaded).

It works on both stock & supercarrier.
