About This File
This is an alternate flight model I developed about a year before the F-102A Delta Dagger was released by Veltro2K. It is based on Pasko's F-106 flight model, but modified in deliberate ways. I used Mirage 3 flight models as a guide as well as it is underpowered and has that huge hanging delta.
After I finished, I stop watch timed its climb compared to the F-106, and it matched the specs very closely if I remember right.
I added more drag as well because of the more forward air inlets and other drag producing features. I played with the engine thrust until the climbing numbers worked out.
Although a beautiful flying airplane, it bleeds off speed much faster than the F-106 (and the standard released F-102A) in high G situations due to less engine power and more drag. It also climbs much slower, but still not bad compared to contemporaires.
However, It really is not a dogfighter as some would claim the later more powerful and more refined F-106 was. I have dogfighted this flight model against all types of early Migs to the Mig-21. If you keep fast and boom and zoom with its incredible radar system, you can equal the Mig-21 and sometimes kill one.
Thanks to Pasko for his incredible F-106 flight model.
V.3 changes.
The drop tanks are now droppable. Thanks Lexx_Luthor.
It was Pasko's F-106 flight model not Dave's that I based the F-102 on. Thanks Dave.
The pilot in the extenal view in now in the cockpit which some people had problems with depending on how much had been added.
