Ok @Stingray , I have partly fixed the problem, so to change thrust I think I will estimate the power at x10 to start

Wish I knew --- this system uses "an SP glitch". The F14 model behaves like it's always propelled by the modded VTOLs in the missiles, even AFTER they are fired and vanish from sight. @Kevpilot

True. This plane does not behave like a Tomcat did at subsonic dogfights. At Mach 2+ all aircraft are hard to turn. I think this adds a bit of reality to using the missiles I installed on this one -- they are supersonic. The SR-71 and Mig-25 flew like locomotives at supersonic speeds. Dogfights (like the Red Baron in WWI) occur low & slow. @LordofLego

It's fun to fly, but it's hard to turn.

How powerful is the current VTOL engine? @Stingray

Ok, I will try that to improve turning @Stingray

Thanks @LordofLego and @Kevpilot -- Comments noted and agreed with. Much testing went on here, and for tight turns & stunt-plane maneuverability: get rid of the weapons, reduce thrust all around. I felt the need for speed. CoL remains best with wings swept forward, much like the actual Grumman F14.

I luv the missiles, but the CoM is to far infront of ur CoL, so the turning circle is HUGE.

Not very maneuverable.
