The first addition to the revamped flanker addition.
Finally finished, a lot of things to talk about with this one, first and foremost yes, it's a re-build I didn't like how my old flanker looked so instead of doing the rational thing of just improving it I decided to just build another one from scratch XD, it was pretty fun though, alright onto the flight performance.
Flight performance
Minor improvements I made to the FT for turn rates was missing about 2 degrees per second at low speeds which was causing the FM to underperform, but its fixed now (this also applies to older builds will fix in a bit and release v1.2s).
The improvement mark i was using was to try and make the FM capable of sustaining about 20+ degrees of AoA at low speed, sounds easy but I had to do this while also making sure the PID wasn't spazzing out during max pulls.
IT CAN'T COBRA, unfortunately I couldn't get it to cobra well more like I didn't want to mess up how great it already was by messing with the CoG and CoL, but it still has great low speed maneuverability with the FCS disabled.
Functions
Activate 1: Disable FCS
Activate 2: Toggle canopy
Oh yeah it also has the start-up procedure from the previous flanker I made, you can bypass it by spawning above the ground.
Flaps: Automatic but there is a toggle for flaps down in the cockpit for full extension when AG1 is active.
Few things to note
Due to the high Ki value in the FCS the jet will always try to correct any error, so before entering any stall maneuver ensure that AG1 is on, so that the FCS doesn't encounter too much noise.
Peak maneuvering speed varies depending on fuel amount (you can adjust fuel tank is right at the CoG, I advise to not change the capacity.
