F-35C Lightning

Description


Description :
The F-35C is a carrier-based variant designed for catapult-assisted take-off but arrested recovery operations from aircraft carriers. Compared to the F-35A, the F-35C features larger wings with foldable wingtip sections, larger control surfaces for improved low-speed control, stronger landing gear for the stresses of carrier arrested landings

Hi LordPeral - is there a way to force AI landing on the carrier using VTOL mode. There was an F35 mod I found some time back that would let AI land on the carrier using VTOL by default (I assume it wasn't meant for carrier ops) - but I can't find it. It's not part of Firewills mod and I've tried three of the current F-35Cs but no luck so far.

@Ulfgaar Are you using the afterburner? Throttle over 90 is afterburner.
Ulfgaar 14 Aug @ 1:18pm 
Taking off with this, going 90 degrees straight up - this thing keeps accelerating continously till you meet the max altitude. This is something that by appearance goes for the F-16 too.

Just way overpowered thrust and maneuverability.

The plane is way to maneuverable at its current state. It can pull 30Gs.

Anychance of a f35b?

Thank you for your efforts. Can you integrate it with FIR mod?

@Lordperal ,I found that the radar could not identify any enemy vehicles at night, but it could during the day.

Is there anyone can tell me how to control arm/disarm afterburner ? Sometimes it suddenly turns on and can't be off, and it can't be turned on when you want to open it.The control interface doesn't have it either.

Epic, maybe if possible make in an option in eden right next to the fold wings option

Update soon, I’ll look at adding a close canopy
