De Havilland Sea Vixen FAW.2 (XP929 "Foxy Lady") [10K Special]

Auto Credit Based on Speedhunter's De Havilland Sea Vixen (XP929) Final

Description:

(Information taken From Wikipedia)

The de Havilland DH.110 Sea Vixen is a British twin-engine, twin boom-tailed, two-seat, carrier-based fleet air-defence fighter flown by the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm from the 1950s to the early 1970s. The Sea Vixen was designed by the de Havilland Aircraft Company during the late 1940s at its Hatfield aircraft factory in Hertfordshire, developed from the company's earlier first generation jet fighters.

The Sea Vixen had the distinction of being the first British two-seat combat aircraft to achieve supersonic speed, albeit not in level flight.

From 1969 the Sea Vixen FAW2 practiced intercepts of a supersonic target against the Concorde SST in flight tests over the Irish Sea.

Armed with Firestreak (and later Red Top) Air to Air Missiles, the aircraft was mass produced without an internal machine gun...


XP929 Lore (WARNING:The aircraft registration and story is completely fictional, any resemblance to real life events is coincidence. NO LIVES ARE LOST IN THIS STORY)

XP929's First flight was in 18th December, 1963 where she was to be stationed on HMS Victorious along with the rest of 893 Sqn. During a few intercept exercises, XP929 (numbered 169) was one of the few Sea Vixens that successfully intercepted the Concorde in a practice exercise.

In the early 1970s, XP929 would be recognized as the aircraft of the Fleet Air Arm's rising star Iranaze "Kitsune" Shimazike, a young female pilot who proved her skill with the aircraft in one of the intercept exercises.

During the MiG intercept of February 12, 1971 (COMPLETELY FICTIONAL), Iranaze and Richard "Flint" Redburn, her Radar Officer aboard XP929 were the first to respond to the threat. As they turned eastward, they spot 2 Soviet MiG-21's attempting to fly over the English channel. Iranaze turned and flew beside the MiGs, issuing them a warning. Luckily the MiG's turned and headed home, and no missiles and guns were fired that day.

Buzzing the tower ^^


Air brakes deployed ^^


Instructions:

IMPORTANT: The Aircraft will suffer a structural failure and disintegrate at 9 G's so Be Gentle On The Stick, Especially when diving. Going past Mach 1 greatly increases the chance of breakup so use the brakes

AG 1 - Canopy
AG 2 - Wing Fold
AG 3 - Tail Hook
AG 4 - Open Nose Cone (do not open in flight)
AG 5 - Landing Light (on nose gear)
AG 6 - Arm missiles (Activates nose cone radar, You can see it working when the nose cone is open)
AG 7 - Drop Tanks
AG 8 - Nav Lights

VTOL for flaps

Note: High Physics is required to get the landing gear working, Will release a Low Physics version in a pinned comment soon


Additional Notes:

The 929 in XP929 is a reference to my gamer tag in other games (J_M**.929)

Thank you for 10K guys <3

Enjoy this rough sketch of Sea Vixen-Chan~

    @BYardley yeah, this does not have the afterburner parts (80 parts per engine) the railgun mechanism (10-15 parts) and the label images (which makes things very laggy) the insignia here was made with the "*" in Military Font which greatly improves performance
