The Evaluator

The start up procedure is exactly the same as This Tomcat


IRL Counter-Part

F-14 A VX-4 Vandy 1 "Evaluator"


Note by Developer:
this is the last F-14 i will be releasing to the site so i just want to say thanks for the support whether it be downloads/upvotes/comments.
it's crazy to think just 3 years ago i posted this F-14, thinking it was the best i could make at the time. i knew i could do better so i spent 3-ish years researching about the F-14 Tomcat to come up with what i think is probably the closest I'll ever get to recreating the F-14 as accurately as i can within the means of SimplePlanes design. This Aircraft helped me understand lot of what i know about SimplePlanes today in regards to general building techniques. This project also involved the most code i had ever written for one particular aircraft and helped (60+ lines of variables) which before making this last build i had no idea how to even write such complex variables.
I want to say this as well i didn't do this alone, i had plenty of help from people in regards to landing gear techniques, FT techniques as well so i would like to thank anyone who helped out with this project,

If there's any piece of advice i can give you that i have learned during the whole duration of my career of an SP builder.

    New update has released: The G code was bugged so now when opening wings at overMach, they will now break off accordingly rather than just over bend like it did before

    Definitely the best variant of the F-14 you've made, looks so menacing.

    Great job on this one L1nus! I saw a Super Hornet in this paint job during Aim-174B testing at NAS China lake a few months ago
