@LM0418 Yep same here, I'm from Texas too, which somehow is even more American. And to boot, I'm half South Vietnamese, with war veterans in the family lol
Hell yeah!! The rolling scissors were downright hot, felt good to push the Tomcat to the limit!
(I swear I can park better than that shot, it has a bit of natural drift thanks to Unity physics)
@NINJ4 I think I will, the camera movements really make it happen, it actually feels like I'm riding a real bike, simply astonishing. I have some funny clips I have of using this in MP and getting into police chases and stuff, I'll upload them and tag you lol
Dude this is unironically the most enjoyable thing I've ever played with in SP. Like this thing gave me an actual adrenaline rush irl, the sensation of speed is incredible!!!! Absolute 10/10 build!!!!
Not bad, just a little input on the G limit, since I see your comment about it. 9G structures started appearing about 20 years after the Sea Vixen. While there's no real reference number available, my educated guess for the Sea Vixen's G limit is probably +6/-3
@TheAviator77 We were mostly messing around with the tailchase, I believe the Fitter was actually unarmed. Kinda like the encounters up near Alaskan airspace lol
Wow, this is a really clean, well flying F-5, probably the best I've found so far on SimplePlanes. Do you mind if I use this as a basis for a full replica buildup? I'm thinking custom missiles, a fleshed out cockpit, custom landing gear, and maybe some other stuff, but I'd be more than happy to credit your build!
Haha yeah you gotta watch both Top Gun movies if you're building a Tomcat. There's a lot of systems, feel free to look at my Tomcat build and reverse engineer anything you need.
I might as well drop the main resources I use in here.
First up is MATS: MATS F-14 Database
MATS is a very comprehensive database with great pictures and details of how Tomcat systems worked and what the parts looked like.
Next up is the F-14D Super Tomcat NATOPS: NATOPS Manual
This is the actual flight manual issued to aircrews that details just about everything you'd ever need to know, it's 1000+ pages long and extremely detailed. I highly recommend you study it.
And last up if you ever find anything else pertaining to the F-14 or have any questions or ideas, please post it in my F-14 thread! Tig's Tomcat Hangar
Feel free to shoot me any questions you might have, I'd love to help out on this project!
@Inuyasha8215 yup, I flew the routine based on the actual F-14 Demo Team routine. I pulled the audio from the 1999 Oceana Demo, since SP audio is just not it
@WNP78 @NathanMikeska @HellFireKoder I know this might be a bit of a tall order, but is there any chance of adding multi-crew functions in multiplayer?? We want to be able to backseat and have gunners!
Best mod in game tbh

+1Oh hell yes.
+1Holy cow dude! Your Crusader flies so nice! Absolute beast!
+1Oh heck yeah I'm always here for rocket builds!
+1Ha nice, if you use Overload you can make it way smaller! Just change the "Scale" values for all parts and go crazy!
+1Ain't no way you managed to build this on Android, this is insane!!!
+1So glad I found the original! I use your design on my F-14 Tomcat build, it's amazing!
+1Iconic

+1Best flying and best built Lightning I've found so far, an absolute riot to fly!
+1This plane is simply epic, I LOVE flying this thing!
+1WOW, I have no words

@CallsignGizmo @Robomo119E mods are no longer supported for mobile :(
@LoneSpaceGaming I run the Steam version, should be able to just download and double click it like any other mod or plane download!
@LoneSpaceGaming Of course not! It's not copyrighted lol
Looks mint to me
