You should only use this on high physics.

So, ACEPILOT109 and I had a little F-14 challenge, and we were posting them at the same time. So make sure you tell him mine is better! Here is the link to his F-14


The F-14A Tomcat is an all-weather, supersonic, air superiority fighter built for the US Navy to compensate for the failure of the F-111B as a variable-geometry fighter for the USN. It was capable of a top speed of Mach 2.8, and was built for the purpose of utilizing the new AIM-54 Phoenix interception missiles. High Mach was only achieved on interception missions; the aircraft didn't need to reach those speeds during normal flight or combat scenarios. During combat, the wings were extended and the flaps would be down half way for better maneuverability. Afterburners were only really used for high-mach flight and takeoff. The F-14 is most famous for Top Gun, but it was a relatively short-lived fighter due to its very narrow niche that could easily be filled by the new F/A-18. This version is of the VF-142 squadron, "Ghostriders". Personally, I think this is one of my better simple creations, but there are a few details I didn't include. I kind of rushed it out, and I'm not entirely proud of that fact, but it's fun to fly, and I guess that matters more sometimes.

1. Thecatbaron's afterburner
2. BogdanX's flaps algorithm
3. RocCrafter101's AIM-54 Phoenix

Act. 1: Air brake

Act. 3: Nav lights
Act. 4: Formation lights
VTOL up: swing wings/carrier storage
VTOL down: 2-position flaps
Trim: trim
