Su-27 Flanker

50.7k Falkenwut  2.7 years ago

Name: SU-27 Flanker
Type: Replica
Attempt #: 3
Falkenwut Generation Build: 6

A remake of my Su-27 Flanker which I've been putting off for a while. But finally I managed it as I had originally hoped for.

It has a tendancy to go mad on tight turns in slow speeds. Suggest you set the set the Range of Motion for the Hinge parts that connect the elevators to 5 degrees. It does come a bit slower on turns, especially on slower speeds, however it remains in control the whole way. Special thanks to @Tang0five for the advice.

VTOL - Flaps
Trim - Elevator Trims

Action buttons:
1 - Drogue Chute
2 - Jettison R-73
3 - Jettison R-27
4 - Jettison S-8 Rocket pods
5 - Jettison FAB-250 Bombs

    Neat build, I changed the elevator to 5 degrees and it seems to stop the madness in tight turns.

    @Falkenwut you can learn bout fly-by-wires from @GuyFolk.

    @JuanNotAnAlt the su-27 did not have thrust vectoring. That would be later models from the Sukhoi family. I wish to implement fly-by-wire, but I still haven't learn to work it out..

    As for custom wings It's something i'm not very fond of to be honest. It tends to make wings look blocky or messy unless you make it perfect... I'd rather keep it simple but that's me...

    Thanks for your criticism :)

    @Falkenwut ummm so it is a bit unstable like the real one which is why I like the build, it needs custom wings and thirst vectoring tho
