RELASED

I will relase in few ours from now. About midnight Italian Time.

My first project with variable-geometry applied to three-dimensional wings (And quite frankly, I seem not to have seen others with this combination in SimplePlanes).

The plane flies very well, is easy to handle, fast and very balanced with both the afterburner added than without it. However has a significant DRAG, and it tends to lose energy easily in violent maneuvers. It also has a rather high speed stall, then flies it carefully if you are at low speeds, avoiding abrupt movements.

The variation of geometry is fully automated, linked to the nose-up commands. The wings extend when pitch up, and retract diving. This move the COL forward and backward according with the lifting surfaces for easier maneuvering, and this can be easily observed by locking and unlocking the wings with AG1. I developed this concept in one old project but it did not have the three-dimensional wings (link below). You can experience the flight with wings locked in any position by disabling AG1 when the wings are in the desired position.

Take-off and landing operations can be performed with the wings in position "automatic", but are more easy if you block wings in the forward position, just by using the command to pitch up and then disabling AG1 while they are fully extended.

The armament placed under the wings is automatically pointed straight ahead during the geometry changes. Blocking wings disabling AG1 also blocks the armament in the correct position. In addition to these four missiles the aircraft is equipped with two rotary cannons to a high volume of fire. You can replace the missiles with any combination of weapons. The plane files whell with 4 x Boom 50 too.

A large number of cameras is spread around the aircraft, allowing spectacular shots of the moving parts (rear nozzle, Gear with landing lights, wings, and other interesting view great video recording)
