fat creason Posted May 22, 2023 Posted May 22, 2023 (edited) The 1G flight envelope charts are the ones you want if you're concerned about top speed. These charts are NATOPS speed limitations based on loadout. If you care to read the link I posted, the fact it's about the F-14A isn't relevant, the discussion and methodology is. Any questions as to what we did or why can be answered there, the process on both A and B was the same. You can see what the F-14A's 1G envelope looks like there. Look for the same chart for the F-14B. We'll post about it eventually on the website if you can't figure it out. Edited May 22, 2023 by fat creason Systems Engineer & FM Modeler Heatblur Simulations

So, back to your post before, you said the original model was based on these APP1.1 charts. So the charts showed it was capable of 2.2+ but something changed y'all's mind so you change it or they showed it wasn't capable of 2.2+ and y'all modeled it faster anyway?

fat creason Posted May 22, 2023 Posted May 22, 2023 (edited) No we just made improvements to the model after fixing some other stuff that was impacting it. Things like this take large amounts of time to get right and things have to happen in a particular order. It's all discussed in the link I posted.

fat creason Posted May 23, 2023 Posted May 23, 2023 (edited) What would that be? Does the chart make sense? Edited May 23, 2023 by fat creason Systems Engineer & FM Modeler Heatblur Simulations
Dannyvandelft Posted May 23, 2023 Posted May 23, 2023 Yeah the wheel brakes are definitely off. Made a feedback post on Discord. My squadron mates agree that they're too weak now. Tire rolling resistance feels much better, but braking needs to be stronger. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Have we all been getting smoke blown up our asses for decades? Back to the A model, if I'm reading correctly, you guys felt that on the A model with a 4x4 config tested @ m2.15 would only be capable of m2.22 after dropping 4-sparows, 4 sidewinder, 2 pylons, and ammo? Is that right? You would only gain 0.07?

You asked "So where does the 2.34/2.38 clean spec come from?". Did you read the point about early F-14As having 6000lb more thrust? That later F-14As were de-rated? That it's very likely the 2.34 Mach figure comes from early testing, and it's likely that comes with the benefit of that extra thrust? And that the B, whilst having GE F110s with greater static thrust, was not as quick as the A when high and fast as the general understanding is that the TF30s benefitted from Ram Air effect better. 1

The previous brakes didn't need to provide much brake torque, as there was so much rolling resistance it was as if the brakes were being applied at all times. Now that rolling resistance is much lower, we have to crank the max brake torque back up. This issue was discovered just after the submit deadline for the last patch. They'll be able to hold Zone 1 AB in the next patch. Edited May 23, 2023 by fat creason 3 5 Systems Engineer & FM Modeler Heatblur Simulations
WarthogOsl Posted May 23, 2023 Posted May 23, 2023 (edited) There was an interview with F-14 test pilot Kurt Schroeder who got an F-14A to Mach 2.4 and said that was the fastest it ever went. However, speeds were pretty quickly restricted to under Mach 2 due to some issues that the Navy didn't feel like spending money to solve. Of all the Tomcat pilots interviewed in the Tomcast podcast, none said they ever broke Mach 2, fwiw. Edited May 23, 2023 by WarthogOsl 1
