Simple F-14 Tomcat
Glad to be back...
Back to replica.
"Grumman F-14 Tomcat is an American carrier-capable supersonic, twin-engine, two-seat, twin-tail, variable-sweep wing fighter aircraft." - Wikipedia. For those who doesn't know what F-14 is.
Working phoenix missile (source: https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/3bkL20/F-14-Tomcat-Weapon-Pack-AIM-54C-Phoenix-Rebuilt, thanks @RodWan), flaperon, all moving elevator, unique looking air brakes, and of course, the swept wing. All within 219 parts so you and your sad performing PC (or Phone) can enjoy its greatness without crashing every 2 minutes.
Performance are kept within realism. The dimension, weight, and thrust-to-weight can be considered accurate. The wing loading is somewhat on the lower side (190 Kg/m2 compared to real world 230 Kg/m2) but it still fly somewhat the same, at least for my naked untrained eye.
I tried to keep all the core function of the cockpit (thank to the latest update). It still looks very different from the real world version, so please don't put your expectation high.
