@SyntheticL oh I see, I am currently making the F-4 phantom. I have fixed my mind into making the Luftwaffe livery, can you help me if you don't mind? :)
@ChiChiWerx I didn't mean that, I meant using the ' ` ' key to bring up the dev console and then bringing in the code which gives you the current g force counter in the top left.
I understand your comment btw, my explanation wasn't all that thorough
@Kangy disagree; many SP builders think a G limiter FT function on the horizontal stab will restrict the G loading on a replica build and result in realistic maneuverability, but that’s not how jets (particular designs from the 1950s) work. Jets almost always have a performance reserve which allows the pilots to over G, if necessary, though pilots are trained to keep their aircraft within G limits by monitoring the G meter during maneuvering flight. F-4 pilots could and frequently accidentally did over G their jets, especially in combat. There are also maintenance inspections that are required following an over G and most jets of this type have strain plates (often in the wing roots) which will crack or deform if the jet is over G’d. Also, most versions of the F-4 had a +8.5 symmetrical G limit at lighter weights, though it certainly couldn’t sustain that loading in level flight and that’s also a gross generalization as version, load out, weight, altitude, whether or not the aileron is displaced (asymmetrical flight) and speed all affected the max allowed G loading.
Use the g limiter FT function to make sure it maintains 6G, it shouldn't drop too far below but to test this, start at around 460 knots and make sure its fuel is half full when testing as that was recommended for combat efficiency for its time
@Fox00One oh ok thank you
@JuanNotAnAlt sure

@KnightOfRen don't wori I remembered
You forgot these.
@Fox00One well..

@SyntheticL can't because this is an F-4C
No splitter plates for the intakes?

@JustMiko lul wut?
femboy friday better
T
how about Luftwaffe livery
@Kangy pretty well
And Bogdan, I liked you Aron M-50. Keep up the good work
How many parts are you at with this?
@JuanNotAnAlt Hey how ya doin?
add boundary layer diverter (splitter plate)
@Kangy hey man

@BogdanX okay
