[WINWINGS 5TH GEN CHALLENGE ENTRY]

Need For Speed (2015) Aircraft Display which served as reference for the EF-2257

ABOUT THIS PLANE:

A fictional 5th Generation Fighter based on the fighter plane displayed at BBA Industries in NFS 2015. The display featured a mix of some of the known modern-day fighters, utilizing the general airframe of the Su-57, the Eurofighter Typhoon's canards, the F-22's wings, and the horizontal stabilizers of the F-35.

As nobody else has made a similar plane in SimplePlanes and seeing WinWings’ 5th Gen Challenge, I was compelled to create a replica of it. Although not detailed as much, I was able to make a decent replica of the display through the use of ManManTheWeapon’s Man Old Unfinished Su-57 and Mikado000's F-22 Raptor Airframe. The aircraft designation is just the combination of all the fighter planes featured in this build where the "EF" refers to the Eurofighter Typhoon, the "22" refers to the F-22 Raptor, and the "57" refers to the Su-57, I skipped of using the F-35 because I couldn't think of a better name without it being a mouthful and the EF-2257 designation was already long. The nickname "Liberty" is a nudge to Liberty Walk, which is a brand for Body Kits of Need For Speed (2015).

I didn't use any custom weapons cuz I want to keep the number of parts to a minimum. With that said, I still managed to decently replicate the cockpit instruments and interior of the Su-57 using Ace Combat 7's Su-57 as reference. Lastly, the livery is based on the Russian Knights Aircraft Livery because I wanted it to be unique from my other works, which have generic fighter liveries, and just like my recent works, it is compatible with the other SimplePlanes Liveries.
