Model Issues & Improvements Thread - Vector Thrust

List planes with animation problems or modelling inaccuracy problems here

Reversed rudder animation
XST
P.125
all F-35 variants
F-117 family

Wrong engine/afterburner position
Surprise Fighter B
F-104VTOL (afterburner flames too far from exhaust nozzle)

Elevator/Aileron/Canard animation
S-32 (rudder animation tied to elevator)
YF-16CCV (only half the right elevator moves)
Su-33's canards - can confirm, the canard should move when pitching so it should be tied to elevator movement. Doesn't seem to be affected by roll movement however (according to LOMAC that is)

Lack of engine position/glow/afterburner
F-35D, F-35M, F-35E, F-35U, F-35X, F-104S ASA (engine glow)
Currently F-104G-HA's extra engines are for decorations. (no engine positions) Also 2 extra engines doesn't reflect any performance difference compared to other conventional Starfighter variant yet.

Misplaced drag trail:
F-35C

Speed-related animation
F-15s - I thought the engine intake should fully open at high speed instead? (need another speed state?)

Wrong hardpoint placement:
S 210B (special weapon hardpoints are outside the wings)

Plane-specific issue:
Normal F-22 variants: Wing slats are always deployed
X-16S: Taileron spikey things floats when moves

The F-15 intakes are accurate as they are. At supersonic speeds, the inlet ramps lower to prevent excess airflow from entering the intake and causing a stall.

Oh well, never noticed that ever since the last time I fly an Eagle whether it's in ACAH or LOMAC or VT.

TIL, I suppose.

The issue is the same as with the sweep wing aircraft, though. There needs to be varying degrees and there's really just 'on' and 'off'

And obviously, we're lacking the YF-14, F-14A, and F-14A+ deployable trim-vanes.

According to the bottom part of the .ini looks like we can make as many speed states as we want though.
