How about something like in Wings of Duty, where rather than a slider, it’s a display and two buttons; one to increase flaps, and one to decrease. So you can choose anywhere from 0°-40° of flaps, and have it so that it goes from 0° to 1° to 5°, 10°, etc.

I’m not sure myself, but I have a theory. I believe it’s mainly in the power plant pulling it up, rather than the lift pulling it up. Another part of it is the angle of attack. If the plane were facing upwards, it lessens the effect of lift pulling it down, but if a plane were to fly level upside down, it would lose altitude, but less than it would in free fall, due to the drag of the airframe.
You see comrades, you forget it is made of Stalinium, which bends all silly capitalist laws of physics to be the strongest and lightest material to ever grace this good Earth! @jamesPLANESii @CjrLdy @BogdanX
@IStoleYourMeme true. I’m quite sure the physics changed in the 2 years since it was posted.
But allow me to summarize this post in a few words:
.
OP: Hey, check out this plane. It’s really detailed.
Me: but the meme will die.
A-Man: eh, memes aren’t that good here anyways-
Everyone else: YO THIS PLANE AIN’T EVEN GOOD. SURE THE DETAIL’S GREAT BUT IT’S A S### FLYER.
Ok, I’m also a iOS builder, so I’ll help you out. What I do is set up 2-3 hinge rotators (Pitch-Yaw, Pitch-Roll, 3D) on each other. Then, I add a hollow fuselage (regular fuselages work fine, too) a bit bigger than an afterburner (or whatever engine you wish to use, and attach a fuselage inlet into that. Then, I put the engine on the end, and make it flush with the housing. Then I try to hide the servos as best I can.
An easier way to have thrust vectoring is to have 2-3 VTOL nozzles set to the different axis. The pro for this is it doesn’t require a lot of parts, but the con is that it doesn’t make the nozzle move.
Check out my Sukhoi Su-67 and F/A-18EX a show on how it works.
Hey guys, I know you’re mad, but let’s not fight over this. Yes, the work is gone, but that means you can rebuild from a new point, and with new players. I know I’m an outsider, but I still don’t want people to fight over something that was meant for fun.
@ACEPILOT109 @Sm10684 with the added benefit of being completely invincible to all explosives and bullets! (Not counting the times where you blew up the cockpit in older models of the game)
The B-36 is a really cool craft. They even put a nuclear reactor in it once (though it was more of a proof-of-concept idea and wasn’t connected to anything).
* *Nervous Sukhoi noises*
But in all seriousness, absolutely *beautiful build! I wouldn’t be surprised if this wins. But in any way, I wish you best of luck in the competition!
Hell yeah, that's awesome! Thanks for using this old skeleton build once more! I know she ain't the most modern, considering fuselage slicing wasn't quite a thing yet, but man you did her justice!
@ShinyGemsBro Hello there. Sure, the situation isn’t that likely, and it is very scripted. However, it’s still not impossible for it to happen. Both planes were slower and traveling in formation at the beginning of the fight, as compared to going into a merge in the video. Given Maverick is a well experienced fighter in that aircraft, he would recognize that that would be a good time to use that move (which is the first time in the series, mind you).
.
The MiG-29 would have been more likely for the Rogue Nation to have. The F-14 was definitely a deus ex machina, since I don’t think Maverick can fly a MiG.
.
As for your situation: missiles have set proximity detonation fuses. They cannot be changed by the pilot. I don’t think the missiles would explode after they pass over the adversary, that was definitely odd.
.
DCS is not perfect, I can agree on that. However, as I said, it’s 90% of the way there. On top of that, actual USAF squadrons do use it as a training tool due to it being a decent enough simulation of real life. Same thing with France.
.
I’ll add here that OP’s point 5 is made in bad faith. Sure, you wouldn’t wanna be in a BVR fight with a MiG-15, that’s how Hangman got his kill. This was not that situation. You also wouldn’t wanna be in a dogfight with a P-51, even in an F-22.
.
To summarize, no, it’s not likely. Is it possible? Of course. Will it happen IRL? No. Unlike the movie, the F-14s Iran has are barely flight worthy, if at all. And Su-57s are unlikely to be operated by them as well. It’s a work of fiction at the end of the day.
…Thrust vectoring control is still useful in the unlikely scenario you are in a dogfight. It’s not likely, but Top Gun was founded because the unlikely happened. American aircraft still carry guns because the unlikely happened. The F-22 is still superior to the Su-57, and is a better fighter than the F-35 (F-35 can barely hold 4 AIM-120s inside of it, whereas the F-22 can hold 4 AIM-120s and 2 AIM-9s. The F-22 also completed a test against 4 F-35s, winning a dogfight against all of them). Is it that technologically advanced? No, it’s from the 90’s. But it’s still a top-tier fighter, which is what its role is. You may be a platinum, but don’t let your ego get so high a weather balloon can’t reach you.
But, if you wanna get your Raptor hate off, the NGADs are set to replace it whenever it’s finally set into service. Then it will relinquish its crown.
@ollielebananiaCFSP Thank you for the help with outreach! Others have said they’ve had issues starting due to school, so I’m hoping that this time period would work a little better for most! @Kangy @CharlesDeGaulle That’s fantastic news! I can’t wait to see what y’all come up with!
I notice a severe lack of light up “Trump” sign.
