Dunkan77 Posted December 16, 2022 Posted December 16, 2022 Hello, I would like to know whether or not allowing 3rd party developers like Heatblur to assign specific drag indices for specific stations is something that is being worked on. I do not know whether ED themselves are able to do this for their own modules but I certainly know that HB has so far not been able to do so for the F-14 module. The tunnel/belly stations should produce very little drag according to their CFD, in any case it should be much less than a Phoenix/Sparrow hanging off the glove pylons. This has caused situations where Tomcats were and still are unable to get up to "realistic" speeds with conventional loadouts such as 4x tunnel mounted AIM-54, 2 glove mounted AIM-7 and 2 glove mounted AIM-9. I'm not aware of any previous threads regarding this matter but I'm sure there have been a few people who requested this before me. I simply want to know whether or not this is in the works. You can probably see why this is somewhat of an important issue to address with the F-14's whole purpose being a long range interceptor and whatnot, you would currently have to go to extreme lengths and forego the NATOPS profiles to reach decent Mach numbers with the above specified loadout. Thank you
