gatordev 218 Posted August 25, 2016 Any chance of a VF-213 F-14A? I was lucky enough to get a hop in one in 1997. Really appreciate their CO hooking us up when VF-11 was TU. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Really appreciate their CO hooking us up when VF-11 was TU. unfortunately, that squadrons skin list is "finalized" for F-14 Tomcat Series Standalone. mean no longer add the skin in the main file after. however after release the tomcat series, i'll make some additional skins pack about more tomcat skins(like F-14A VF-213 you said) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robert31178 100 Posted August 26, 2016 Hello!! So I am just starting to get into jets. I have a few questions and am hoping someone can help me get sorted. the first is off topic, sorry!! 1) I have a full CH gear set up, stick, throttle, J/S. I am having trouble getting my throttle to act correctly. I am using the analog function and deleted the default keys. I have just the teensiest bit of decrease thrust, like maybe .1 of the range of motion, the rest is acceleration. Anyone know how to make it proportioned properly so I have more control of the A/C? 2) Are there any plans for 6DOF? I run trackIR and have noticed that a lot of A/C do not include it. Be handy in a DF.....:-) 3) Are there any plans to have the elevons working visually and for the over wing spoilers (ailerons, but not technically ailerons) also to work visually? Killer mod so far just flying it around. I have around 1800 hours in Arma 3 and it has been all helicopters for me. Flying fighters is a new experience in Arma, and I find it a challenge as it does seem that the game is not really set up to fly fixed wing as well as even my old copy of IL2 1946. I also wanted to say that the Aardvark skin looks FABU and I am very much looking forward to employing it!! ~S Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks! its temporary name, but will release this pack about VF-213, A to D. and, another skins...again. VF-14 Tophatters VF-21 Freelancers 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robert31178 100 Posted August 27, 2016 I honestly cannot see the spoilers or the eleven function visually. The elevator function works visually, but not elevon. Roll rate is good, like both are working in the flight model. Next question, don't laugh......but how do I get the hook to come down???? ~Rob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

robert31178 100 Posted August 27, 2016 No, I figured it out. They don't work in 3rd person while on the ground on start up, so I never looked again after take off. They worked all the way until I folded the wings while taxiing back to my revetment. They look real nice!! I like how the elevons look. A loooooong time ago I was playing SF1 and went into the Tomcat files and changed it up so the elevons looked like they were supposed to. It totally makes the Tomcat look LEGIT!! So yes, sorry for not checking more, and nice work!! I will try to get the hook down again. I may have Nimitz too close to an airfield as I am getting the ILS for the runway and not the carrier. I'll move her offshore a little bit and keep trying. So I made two good touch & go passes at the wires, and then followed it up with one last one that should have been a ramp strike. I have been making the approaches to carrier in between 120kmh and 140kmh with the boards out. I really would like my friend to come on and snap a few pics so I can see what it looks like with a nose high attitude and touching down on Nimitz!! the other people I have seen fly just sorta, you know, drive 'em onto the deck lol. I set a button on my J/S for the brake, but I have to hold it to keep the boards out on approach. Is there anyway to make the airbrake on a selector in the scroll menu? IRL it seems as if the Tomcat keeps them out on approach; a number of fighter jets do actually, it allows them to keep the rpm's up on approach so the power is immediately available if something happens. Jet engines, from what I understand, take a little longer to spool up from lower rpm's. Hard lessons learned from early jet days, sadly. It also allows them to keep a slow speed while maintaining high rpm's, which helps them keep the attitude they carry through the approach and not have to worry about being behind the power curve in a stall. No rush if you do decide to implement it, and if I am asking for too much or seem to be badgering please let me know. The last thing I want to do is get on your bad side!!! Here's a link to one of my favorite F-14 pics lol....enjoy!!! http://www.strangemilitary.com/images/content/156262.jpg ~S Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robert31178 100 Posted August 27, 2016 Oh, almost forgot - Is there a way to spawn the bird with the wings folded in the 3D editor? I'm building a nice little jet training map and want to stick those pretty Tom Kitties in HAS's. Killer mod and thanks so much for your hard work Firewill!!! ~Rob 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
