F-14A Tomcat V3.0 (2)

I haven't had much time to work on the Tomcat, but some progress has been made.

Most notably, the landing gear is in place so I've been able to do landing/takeoff tests. They're still unfinished though, but all they need is the struts and the catapult launch bar.

Unlike the previous Tomcats, this one has automatic maneuvering flaps, which are activated up until about 75% wing sweep.

The flight model is in a pretty decent spot at the moment, but I do want to make the aircraft more unstable at low speed.


The forward Phoenix station is also in place.

The fuselage body is more or less done, so now the next priority is adding small details and working on the gear bay doors. After that, it's weapons and loadouts.

The part count is currently at 368.

    @ReinMcDeer That's good to know! I've been using the database for quite a while now to at least make missiles performance accurately for my modified aircrafts for M.B.S.

    It was honestly a blessing to just somehow find it

    But anyways, I will be waiting!😎👍

    @ReinMcDeer Hey is it ok if I ask a question here about the "Weapon Balancing Database"?

    Will you add AIM-54s to the database someday?

    @ssenmodnar lol, asked the same question. Sense it’s a late version the glove vanes are going to be deactivated/welded shut. He did say he was thinking about making a early version though, which should have them.
