The FM is nasty though...I based it heavily off the F-100D...but in WOI it's pretty much a straight and level only...it departs WAY too quickly...

If only they had put the intake on the bottom... would have been a low powered precursor to the F-16 (much like a variant of the MiG-21).

 

Well, the original design called for that exactly. However, the semi-recessed weapon (obstensibly a nuke) was judged to have unpleasant separation characteristics with the undernose intake...which is why it was switched to the top.

 

Here's a mockup of the original proposal:

Frankly, I can't decide which looks goofier...

Updated FM...much more docile handling now. Also, engine data now updated with J75 specs.

 

Has canopy and refueling probe animations. Completely mapped. Will use F-100 cockpit.

Maybe a dump question but have you thought about the idea to put the intake under the plane?! something like a F-108 or F-109 Fighting Sabre?! A what if plane?!

 

But nice work so far !!!! Damn you have a nice quality of work!

I wish I could take all the credit, but Dave gave me the original MAX file that someone (wpnssgt?) had given him after deciding to not work on it any further. I merely continued to refine the design, add some stuff, animations, and mapping. However, it does fit into my SWOTUSAF plans quite nicely...

 

And SWOTUSAF doesn't have fantasy aircraft per se...each one had to have at least reached 'mockup' stage first...

 

Which means the F-108 and F-109 designations are already taken...

PS Oh, some fun testing in Vietnam during a random gen single mission. What if the F-107 had been picked to be built instead of the F-105 (they were in fact in competition at the time)?

 

While on a strike...

 

Some blokes from the RN decide to escort us and run up against a bunch of MiG-17PFMs...they score 3 head on kills in 10 seconds! Them some damn good missiles!

You can see us way in the background as the RN chews up the MiGs...

Now imagine us in SEA colors...

Hyper Hogs rule! Later this month I'm going to get to see the #2 bird again when we visit Wright Pat. I'm looking forward to it. It's such a cool plane. What kind of A2A capability did it have?
