@cosman thank you. Also I'm sorry for not getting back about the G-Limiter the internet was down for awhile. But it works well! I played around with and figured out what works. Thank you so much for your assistance it is appreciated
@cosman so the Tomcat (A) had TF-30 engines (the B variant got GE-110) but the TF-30 was absolutely horrendous at accelerating at low speed but exceeding around 600kts they started having a almost ramjet effect and could reach a speed of mach 2+ what I have a problem with is simpleplanes physics where engines very unrealistically underperform at high altitude so I found a code that basically makes the engines start at 50% capability and increase with altitude. So what happened basically I was trying to get the bad acceleration until 600kts thereabout then start really spoiling up. I modified the same code for the wing sweep and modified it and stuck it in another engine. It's still not really working tbh. It still accelerates like a rocket. I dont really know what I was asking when I started typing this. But do you have any suggestions?
@cosman thank you! I'll play around and see. Yes there were a whole bunch of wings around the place I couldn't find all of them plus I'm not the smartest when it comes to stability so I sorta left them. But yes there were alot. As for the CG would maybe sticking a fuselage block (with amplified weight) on a piston that moves it backwards according to wing sweep help? I'll have to test that it just came to me. So yeah I'll play around with it and see what works thank you! And yeah I have a potato phone so I gotta make it as performance light as I can lol
@cosman https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/lGn9ye/Grumman-F-14A-Tomcat-WIP that's it. And I rlly hope you like the afterburner :/ everything took me so damn long to do
@cosman lots of big brain stuff lol. Anyway I'll post it unlisted and link you. Thank you so much! And yes, flying while bobbing up and down is extraordinarily annoying
@ReinMcDeer hello, this is a nice build (except i can't really run properly on my potato phone) anyway I'm remodeling a Tomcat and i sorta stole some code and variables from your build (specifically wingsweep) but I was wondering if your ok with me posting it? I will give you credit. Let me know pls, thank you
@cosman hello I dont know if you remember me I've been of for a long while but anyway I have a question. So basically I'm working on remodeling a Tomcat (the A variant) and I have been dealing with so much problems in my attempt to make it fairly realistic, but one of my biggest problems is a G-Limiter. I've tried a few I found on the site but once I start really accelerating it starts shaking like crazy and and pretty much becomes uncontrollable. I dont know if you can help? Thank you
@cosman interesting. I see what you mean. But honestly I'm kinda curious, how do you make fbw? As I've said before I'm not a genius when it comes to funky trees lol. But I'll be trying out what you've done with the cg on a few of the planes I have (not mine).
Yes I totally agree, 1.7 is a beauty! You are a talented creator. I'm not gonna lie, simpleplanes is kinda limited when it comes to realistic performance, but it's not impossible to have a build that flies how its supposed to. And it is weird when you have a plane that rockets to mach 2.5 in the space of 7 seconds and can pull a 35g 180degree turn in 2 seconds... I mean, come on bro
But anyway, I'm also intrigued at your G-limiter. How did you do it? Because every other glimiter that I've tried always makes the plane Bob madly when you start to reach 600kts. A bit like the stock wasp, which dosen't have a glimiter but still bobs for some reason. Anyway I'd love your thoughts on this!
@cosman I get what you're saying. It is hard because you have to account for the bodies flat surface acting as a lifting surface especially when the wing swings. I had put some wings where the belly is (semi symmetrical I think) and I know it not supposed to but I tried. And I ended up with a annoying bobbing effect where if I pitched up vertically to hard, the aircraft would assume a heigh AOA then dip and Bob without really gaining any altitude. It could barely do a loop without stalling and even that would take like 4 minutes to do.
Anyway enough yapping. I don't know why it did that. The performance of the original plane itself as I have said was bad to begin with and I never really fully fixed it. But then there another Tomcat (I did some garbage remodeling of it it's on my profile) but the original plane flies pretty well. Excluding the fact that its way too light and stall at like 90 knots which is... ridiculous.
But if you go into it you'll se plenty of hidden wings around the plane. I dont know if those are like essentials to get a realistic performance, I'm not very good at aerodynamics but yeah. I try my stuff
Do you add small wings to your builds?
@cosman well I'd like to make a request if you dont mind. An F14. I've tried remodeling a few myself, but I've never really gotten a hang of aerodynamics like you lol.
I've worked on specifically deeznuts1234 (I think that's his name) own because it has a cockpit... and, well, I like. And I was going pretty well. I redid the cockpit made the handling a little smoother (because honestly it has some of the worst handling on the site to me). And I was going to ask for permission to upload it and I got sabotaged and my sp game uninstalled so I lost everything.
Kinda lost my vibe to start over.
But enough of me ranting. I'd appreciate it if you could do an F14A. Thank you!
@cosman you are a real creator, I wish I could give you 100 upvotes. Keep creating. I look forward eagerly to more content from you.
Ps. A question. Do you take requests?
My man, its really hard to find models that look good, fly well, and yet are detailed. But you managed to combine all these and yet still it has a low performance cost. This deserves to be featured. My man, I cannot say what a masterpiece this is. Good job
@Zaineman @Beetlejuice6156 thanks for the help! I appreciate your time
I also have one more favor to ask of you
So the Tomcat I'm working on, I put the cockpit on 3 springs
Now to me its cool but I don't know if its overkill, especially at high speeds, the camera literally goes out of the canopy so dont jerk it
@cosman thank you. Also I'm sorry for not getting back about the G-Limiter the internet was down for awhile. But it works well! I played around with and figured out what works. Thank you so much for your assistance it is appreciated
@Leehopard hello I have a request. Oh btw this is a super nice build. Could I use your target tracking camera? I will credit I promise

@dog2 bru so was mine pretty much
@cosman oh ok. Thank you!
@cosman thank you! I cannot wait to see what you do with it!
@cosman and thanks for the link!

Honestly this is pretty good! And how you managed to keep this at such a low performance cost. Great job my man!
You deserve an upvote
This is cute
@CallsignGizmo thank you!
@CallsignGizmo hey man, can I update it and try make it more realistic? I'll let u know when it's done. Btw this is sick
WHY AM I THE FIRST UPVOTE?! this is sick bro
@Zainman https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/9UJ81g/spring-test
@Zaineman @Beetlejuice6156 Someone uninstalled my simpleplanes and I lost all my fucking work so I have to start from scratch
But I tried to remake it but the cockpit keeps disconnecting
It can sorta work but it needs help
Thanks
@Zaineman @Beetlejuice6156 thanks for the help! I appreciate your time
I also have one more favor to ask of you
So the Tomcat I'm working on, I put the cockpit on 3 springs
Now to me its cool but I don't know if its overkill, especially at high speeds, the camera literally goes out of the canopy so dont jerk it
But can you guys test it for me please?

@SnoWFLakE0s I have a problem with an f14 I'm remodeling, can you help me? Please?
@Zaineman do u use android? Cuz if then I could send you the beta version if you would like
@Zaineman thanks so much! I will tag ya when it's out!
@Zaineman uhmm do you mind if I take the afterburner off this and put it on a tomcat I'm remodeling? I'll give credit
@karameji how did you make the square attitude indicator
