F-14 Tomcat (Test)

5,598 RedFalcon  8.2 years ago

This is the test model for my F-14 Tomcat. I decided to release this to the public for it is by far the hardest replica I've done and I wanted to see how the community could help. I also believe that it can be considered as a full release. It just needs a little work. I'm looking forward to seeing what you guys think of my F-14 Tomcat and how you can develop it! Fly safely and as always, have fun!!

P.S. I'm looking for performance improvements, not the addition of assets (Weapons).

    Figured out its main issue. It's wing loading has to be bigger to allow more manuverability. I would change them for you but I haven't seen a picture of this craft so I wouldn't know the proper shape.

    I can try to help. I'm always tweaking stuff to fly better so give me a little while and it'll be ready.
