Thrust Vectoring F-22

[Morrowstalker]

When I found the F-22 mod, I loved it, however, I was slightly disappointed by the lack of thrust vectoring. I found the only public thrust vectoring mod for DCS and have been working to combine the two. Anyone who wants to help out, feel free to suggest changes.

THIS IS NOT MADE BY ME, I AM JUST COMBINING MODS MADE BY OTHER PEOPLE. THE F-22 BY GRINNELLI DESIGNS, THE SU-57 BY CUBANACE SIMULATIONS, THE F-15 BY SPINO, AND OTHERS.

MOD: https://morrow.smokeandmirrors.us/RTV/

BUGS:
Game crashes on quit from F-22 Mission - FIXED
Game crashes on F-22 crash - FIXED
Cockpit has missing textures, including canopy - FIXED
Gear don't go up or down - FIXED - however, now the EPU will fly formation with you while gear down
Afterburner is missing texture - FIXED (May be too long?)
Canopy is missing texture - FIXED
Thrust Vectoring and EFM do not work - FIXED
Aircraft controllable after ejection - FIXED
Vestigial bright rings appear from SU-57 HUD - FIXED
Aircraft starts speeding up when going vertical at around 70,000 feet (highest it should be able to go is 50,000) - FIXED
Aircraft implodes from G forces if doing low speed back loops (should be able to withstand 20+ G's) - FIXED

EPU appears alongside aircraft while gear down
HUD symbology is above HUD (however does show where gun shoots accurately, maybe gun angle is incorrect?)
Negative G's below negative twelve can be induced with a slight push of the nose at low speed
Ground hot start freeze
If engine RPM<61 MFDs turn off



INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:
Download the folder from link above
Unzip to get folder (named "Maybe This One")
Install folder to C:\\Users\YOUR_NAME\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Mods\Aircraft\

Aircraft is still called SU-57 and has no instant action as of right now

If mod does not work, or you find any bugs, report them to the bug tracker in the discord (https://discord.com/app/invite-with-guild-onboarding/4UhBZrmYUU)

THRUST VECTORING:
Thrust Vectoring works best with speed brake out at low speed with afterburner

This is the most requested feature. GS had a video quite some time ago featuring a VT-enabled version which was never released. 
 

Good luck!

Yep, same here. 
I’ve been patiently waiting for a Thrust Vectoring mod for the Raptor.

Hi does Thrust Vector work with AI Pilot ? Or only with player ?

Thrust vectoring does not currently work with AI, but will hopefully work in a future version

Video out, having some issues publishing the mod (probably 'cause it's 3GB)

Dropbox, may be?

No clickable cockpit still, but at least the cockpit is in the right place lol. I need to bring the symbology down int the HUD and get rid of the ugly circles
