AI F-14 extends flaps during wing sweep clipping into fuselage.

[sc_neo]

So i have noticed that the AI F-14 seem to initiate dropping flaps and sweeping the wing for takeoff simultaneously, which makes the flaps clip into the fuselage during the wing sweep. I reckon usally, the F-14 first needs to sweep her wings for takeoff, and only after the wings have been fully swept out, then the flaps come down for TO.

 

I have seen this behaviour on the SC right before hooking up to the catapult.
