Hello everybody, welcome to my first post of 2026.
I know, it's a bit of a jump compared to what I usually build...

But I wanted to join the bomb challenge, so here we are. LET'S GO!

-What is this?
A medium-sized, Mach 3-capable nuclear bomber designed to operate at high altitude.
Design-wise i wanted to create something "standard". Long pointy body, small delta wings, and 2 massive turbofan engines i have designed for a couple of unposted SST's. And of course, the most crucial part of a supersonic plane, a droop-snoot.

How does this thing handle? I have designed it to be very stable during supersonic flight, using some of the FT experience I got while building cars, but it's a bit difficult to handle at low speed. I suggest flying over 350KM/H to keep the controls responsive enough; that's why take-off and landing can be a bit of a hustle.

So now that you know the basics, let's get to business...

-The plan
Since the whole procedure to launch the attack, as the challenge requires, can be tricky. I have decided to write this section dedicated to explaining how you need to drop the bomb properly!

please read this if you want to... You know... not blow up?

The mission is split into 3 phases:
1) Take-off and climb:

-Take the engines up to 93% Throttle and bring the trim lever all the way down. Once you reach 450km/h, pull up and start a slow ascent while raising the nose and the landing gear.
-Start ascending to 10000 meters while circling Wright Island. You can do this faster by briefly activating the afterburners (Throttle>95%).
-Once cruising altitude is reached, navigate to Yeager and push the throttle to max power!

2) The Drop:

-Once Yeager Island is in sight, open the bomb bay doors (AG3) and aim using the in-game bomb trajectory indicator. You don't need to be precise; try to get the bomb on the main island since it's the bigger target. When ready, release the bomb.
TRICKY PART READ CAREFULLY!
-As the bomb is released, switch to the bomb camera and press AG5 immediately. This will slow the bomb down to avoid overshoots and help you with accurate bombing.
At the same time, roll the aircraft to 90° and then pitch up to do a full 90° turn. This is to make sure you're far from Yeager. (Use the navigation ball to help you in the process.
-Once the bomb is slow enough, deactivate the parachute to ensure detonation upon impact.
-Switch back to the bomber, close the bomb bay, and watch the destruction from afar. (Possibly quoting Oppenheimer for Aura farming)

3) Return mission and Landing:

-Use the built-in navigation system to go back to Wright as you slowly start to descend to 3000 meters.
-Once you see the runway, deactivate the afterburners and align with it.
-At 600km/h, lower the landing gear and the nose while slowing down to 350/450 km/h
-Gently touchdown, start braking hard, and open the main parachute (AG2).

If you understood all that, Good! You're ready for the mission!
All of the controls are present in the instructions, if you need them by hand.
The mission should take 10-20 minutes in its entirety.
