Ok, you guys are going to like this plane. Pete let me have a go at her because I was helping him with a brake problem..... It fly's so smoothly, it's unreal! The swing wing, opening canopy, and kneeling landing gear are a nice touch too.The best part, is that the AI handles the plane perfectly. It's almost like the AI was meant to fly this thing  There are just a few things to fix (like the flaps and the langing gear poking through the wing apon retraction) but hopefully it will be ready for a beta soon. Keep your fingers crossed. All we need now are a few AIM-120s  Cheers! Jaguar ------------------ Cheers! Jaguar www.fshangar.com

Thanks for the kind words Jag.I will release a beta of the Tomcat. But first I need to align my flaps, get the ailerons working (hopefully with the same flaps), build some rudders and get them working, and then it'll be time. Shouldn't be too long now.

Inferno,I've thought about that. I'm sure I could put some Sidewinders or Sparrows on it, but they'd behave like the rockets in SDOE. Maybe sometime in the future we'll get guidance AI to fly them to targets.  IP: Logged |

I was just thinking about the missiles one day. If you would give them hidden engines and wings, and then AI, you could make them AI controlled. Then you would have to make a function that switches them on once you fire them. The AI would then try to get into "shooting position" behind the enemy. When close enough, the AI would try to fire, but instead, the missile would explode. I would like to see the face of the AI pilot at that moment  Could this work? Camo

Check the bomb positions on the B-17 if you want to see a function that activates something when it is released. I think it is func 'WonderTwinPowers. Just have the fire button drop a bomb *above* the 'missle' although the AI might start shooting immediately after release....lowest bidder, ya know...IP: Logged |
