THAT is one sexy bird....

I am strangely arou... I mean to say quite excited by the mere thought of getting strapped into her seat and being subjected to all kinds of.... manouvres.

My goodness man, that is polly-pron if i ever saw any....

I am quivering in anticipation.:engel016:
 
YF-23, what great lines: from the slick underbelly intakes to that sexy tail section, to the SR-71 like flange running around the cockpit area of the fuselage (not so evident in the screenshots)... a very elegant looking design.
 
Why is the Star and Bar on the wrong wing? Flipped shots?
Did have a YF-23 on the list. Even went and got a POH
 
I'm sure it's work in progress, but don't forget to get that star and bar sorted, there's something wrong with the proportions.

Great looking model always been a favourite. As usual the more radical design (non-lockheed) lost - I also prefer Boeings JSF - it's just so radical and futuristic looking.
 
Proportions of the Star and Bar? Or of the plane?

The plane is perfect as far as we can tell. We actually WENT to the museum and took measurements and a TON of pics, so I would say we're pretty darned close... However, not being one to not listen, please tell us and show us where we went wrong and we will be happy to fix it. That's, after all, what this posting is for. Show and tell... we show and you tell.

Thanks,

Great bird, looking forward to it!

I have a question for those who know this aircraft intimately - with the tailfins being spread at such an angle away from the vertical, how do they get the rudder to work? I would think that, if it were set up like on the V-tail of the bonanza, the rudders would act like ailerons because they are so far away from the bank axis.
Does anyone know?

The production team is fortunate to have the 200 page manual to refer to , it’s a total Gas to use in sim after having done so many prop aircraft back to back to strap into a Jet , as well having as many pilots on the team is a real bonus with this production , from the FDE to the Carrier Rated Fighter Jet Pilot as part of the Beta Team this consortium is putting together some sled indeed. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:eek:ffice:eek:ffice" /><o:p></o:p>

They`re not called rudders... they`re ruddervons and they work in tandem with the elevons. (split aerilons). It`s an FBW system that, without a computer system to fly the plane, would crash and burn in an instant. The F-16, F-22 and other newer planes all work essentially the same way. All of the flight controls are working at the same time even without any pilot input...
