[Z] F/A-45EX V2 Update

4,077 ZealousKestrel  3 days ago

Welcome again to my forum post, Zilo here.

the V2 for the F/A-45 will have some insane specs. it will include the following and maybe more.
ive gotten most of the listed improvements down so far, and i have several more days to finish it before i have to submit it for a naval challenge, so i should be able to remove almost all the issues in due time.

  • new missile that replaces the YM-22
  • 40 burst missiles compared to the current's 20
  • fixed cockpit with more interactables and VR support
  • slightly changed canopy (i had an ick)
  • slightly changed livery to match the XB-75D
  • maneuverability improvements
  • stability improvements
  • fixing those wretched brakes not dealing enough drag
  • helping with landings on a carrier and runway with automatic drag gimmick when the gear is out
  • visual improvements when in cockpit view
  • slight visual improvements to engines
  • no/less drag on weapon pods (its just unnecessary to have to drop your weapons to reach max speed)

basically, my best plane yet. it doesnt beat the SAK-1 in PSM since it barely can do that (purposefully removed PSM ability for stability reasons), it dominates it in turn radius, armaments, and basically everything else.

i said i would be original, but this one wont have barely any changes to it's main shape, such as the cockpit, nacelles, and engines being from different planes, but i will still try to be original in the future, and before that time comes i will give necessary credits to all the amazing creators who directly or indirectly helped me get to this spot in the F/A-4X developement process.

okey byeeeee :3
