Hope you're all enjoying yourselves. It's been a while since I've uploaded anything. I have a couple of builds in progress which I have put on hold. For now I'm venturing back into the plane market until I find a way to get my part builds working right.

This is a highly manoeuvrable plane with tri axis thrust vectoring. It has a sturdy set of gears for landing and taking off, and comes complete with ailerons, canards, leading edge controls and flaperons as well as a full size airbrake. Enjoy and see instructions below:

1. Activator 6 to retract gears and again to lock. Again to release when landing. Gear controls are linked to throttle so full throttle to completely retract and 0 throttle to completely extend.
2. Activator 5 to switch on the thrust vectoring. This has little effect while flying at high speeds so you should slow down to 200mph approximately and feather the throttle to get the right amount of control, 50% is fine.

Try a thrust vectored takeoff for fun, enjoy!

In my opinion, this is an exact replica of the real SU-37! Great job, man! Can't wait to see more!

I've always loved this plane and your version is by far the best I have seen in simple planes. My mobile is small and not suited to flying some of the bigger models but I learn from just looking at them and hownit was built. Awesome work.

@BaconAndEggs96 They are attached to rotators. It's possible with part clipping to hide the rotator within the fuselage so it would only just show. In my case I was able to edit the position afterward to be better hidden for effect.

@Authros how did you tilt the structural wings like they were attached to a rotator?

@IMDABEST I removed the cockpit and saved the rest of the plane as a component. I put some addition structural wings on the MAZ trailer for the plane to attach to then added it. Only problem was I had to repaint the plane as it was now using the color schema of the MAZ xml file.

@Authros how did you put this plane onto the MAZ?

Yeah but forcing it to be done by modding makes it EVEN harder for making planes like this for new or poor players than including it in game. @Authros

@NachoMan Now that I done it once, I will definitely keep doing it to all my new builds. I might not revisit my previous builds but I might recreate them, including the F-22 and F-35 eventually.

@LjSpike The drag and lift is natural but when used as a body part the game doesn't recognise when something is blocking the wing or if that wing should only have air moving over one surface. In the case of my F-117 I have serious downforce problems because it has angled wings at the front causing downforce, angled wings at the back on the body causing lift and nothing on the bottom to counter it. That's why the tail fins are angled out to increase downforce at the back again to even things out but overall it makes it difficult to take off. The advantage is it does increase overall flight stability. The whole process of making a plane fly with this wing problem makes it a complicated game for new users who are new to the physics and if you can't get your first plane to fly you normally give up and try a new game. I think this is why they didn't keep it in to ensure a good player base.

You should try to add the cockpit details to your previous fighter jets. Also, now that you can mod a ton of stuff you should try an F-35 or F-22 or something. @Authros

but in general, angled wings on all directions are useful. Some planes have wings slightly lower at the back, including some fighters i've seen. Anyway, we don't care if they can't fix any drag/lift problems. We fix those ourselves :P

@LjSpike I suspect they were going to put it in but didn't due to the complication of increased drag and lift when using wing parts for shaping a planes body.

I wish we could do full wing angling in simple planes. I only have it on IOS you see.

@DethFromAbove I'm glad I am one of the reasons you come back for more other than the ridiculously addictiveness of this game. Stick around though as we'd have lost a great builder of you don't and plus, there is a new update soon with lots of new cool parts.

This is a mean machine! It looks so bad to the bone and handles ridiculously well! Nice job man! You and just a hand full of other builders keep me coming back :]
