SilentGun Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Sorry if this has been covered. I know in real life computers control the sweep of the wings, is there a way for the pilots to manually override the computer, and if so will this manual override be included in this model? Either way, when this thing comes out, I plan on spending several days just watching the wings sweep. Yes there is a manual way to operate the swing of the wings In the circle you can see the manual lever that operates the swing under a case. hope that helps :) Link to my Imgur screenshots and motto http://imgur.com/a/Gt7dF One day in DCS...

PiedDroit Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 As far as I know the manual sweep cannot be lower (i.e. forward) the computed angle (because of risk structural damage). I saw a documentary where a seasoned pilot explains that during a mock up dogfight he put the wingsweep in manual and this led the rookie pilot who was against him to overstimate his speed, giving the former pilot an advantage. Funny story, I don't remember where I saw that unfortunately... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain_dalan Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Actually, with the emergency wing sweep override lever, you can set the wings on lower speed. If you use manual wing sweep, you can't. Using the emergency override can lead to structural damage at higher speeds, because of the sudden boost in lift however.

ChoSeungWan Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I'm probably in the minority here, but I actually identify classic rock from the 1970s and 1980s with the F-14. This has a lot to do with the fact the Tomcat entered service in the 1970s. We need in-flight yacht rock radio :thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fogster Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 (edited) thanks for the input. i was always curious if at airshows when they would do those slow rolls where they'd sweep the wings if they were accelerating through the right speed, or if the pilot was simply moving a lever.

WildBillKelsoe Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Awesome communication, great day 1 buy for me and my wingman (we both have RIOs in place already, just need the cat ;) Carry on LN. You're plainly awesome! AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower. Open triangle is AWACS, closed triangle is your own sensors. Double dash is friendly, Single dash is enemy. Circle is friendly. Strobe is jammer. Strobe to dash is under 35 km. HDD is 7 times range key. Radar to 160 km, IRST to 10 km. Stay low, but never slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentGun Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Leatherneck, what happened to the F-14 site page that was about to go up? You said it was almost finished when this thread went up.

BlackLion213 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Leatherneck, what happened to the F-14 site page that was about to go up? You said it was almost finished when this thread went up. Just curious to see if anything changed or I missed something :) I was thinking about this a few weeks ago. I bet that all of the images and info planned for the website were posted in "Update #2" and LNS decided to continue updating their website for the new products set for release in late 2015. Cobra mentioned that the other modules will likely be announced around August or so - most likely after the release of DCS2 (hence the announcement could be pushed back further if the platform is not ready, especially since at least one is supposed to have an associated map). Thats my guess at least. :) -Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is actually using a 4 position hat-switch on the side of the throttle. There is also a manual override that is lever operated - used for emergencies or setting oversweep for parking on deck. -Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomOnSteam Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Leatherneck, what happened to the F-14 site page that was about to go up? You said it was almost finished when this thread went up. Just curious to see if anything changed or I missed something :) I hope they came to the conclusion that having a fancy website is more or less a time waster. As much as I dislike Facebook and Twitter, they are pretty much custom made for customers and future customers up to date. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cockpit Spectator Mode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPEKTRE76 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 (edited) Hey guys, former US Navy F-14A and B Mechanic here. You see the gun exhaust port (grill on top of the port intake behind the 'Relay Rack'). Okay now you see those two ECS ducts that are open? It seems you have them as a solid piece. They actually move up and down. And inside the intake you have ramps that slide up and down controlling the amount of air coming it. I forget what they are called because I am trying to remember something from over 20yrs ago. I think the positions were Mach 1.5 and Mach 2.63. I can't remember if the 'B' model had 'Glove Vanes' or not. I do know the 'A' model does though. Are you going to include the TARPS pod as well? See the ramp operation here: Edited August 2, 2015 by SPEKTRE76 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] NEED DESIGN PROJECTS FOR YOUR CAMPAIGNS? PM ME. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPEKTRE76 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 BTW If you want to animate a ground crew. I can act out the 'Plane Captain' start up sequence. I can still do it 21 years later, LOL. You will probably want to model the support equipment too like the 'Huffer' and the 'Geni'. 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] NEED DESIGN PROJECTS FOR YOUR CAMPAIGNS? PM ME.

Tirak Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 I was under the impression the Glove Vanes were just disabled but not actually removed because of keeping center of gravity in the same spot, same reason for the Phoenix cooling systems. Is that not correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPEKTRE76 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Okay Leatherneck guys. With the help of my Veteran Shipmates I was able to find out what the support equipment was. The Huffer: NCPP-105 (for the 1980's and 90's) The Geni: NC-10C MEPP [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] NEED DESIGN PROJECTS FOR YOUR CAMPAIGNS? PM ME. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
