Default RE: Skymaster F14 Tomcat

Great! How elaborate will the function of the "advanced" wing be? Will the flaps be segmented like on the real aircraft so that the two outboard maneuvering flaps deflect in combination with slats for added maneuvering control? In this case, the inboard flap segments should remain stationary and in the up position.

Ailerons are not fitted, with roll control being provided by wing-mounted spoilers at low speed (which are disabled if the sweep angle exceeds 57°), and by differential operation of the all-moving tailerons at high speed. Full-span slats and flaps are used to increase lift both for landing and combat, with slats being set at 17° for landing and 7° for combat, while flaps are set at 35° for landing and 10° for combat.
