Quick History

is a Soviet-origin twin-engine supermaneuverable fighter aircraft designed by Sukhoi. It was intended as a direct competitor for the large United States fourth-generation fighters such as the Grumman F-14 Tomcat and F-15 Eagle. The Su-27 was designed for air superiority missions, and subsequent variants are able to perform almost all aerial warfare operations. It was designed with the Mikoyan MiG-29 as its complement. The Su-27 entered service with the Soviet Air Forces in 1985. The primary role was long range air defense against American SAC B-1B and B-52G/H bombers, protecting the Soviet coast from aircraft carriers and flying long range fighter escort for Soviet heavy bombers such as the Tu-95 "Bear", Tu-22M "Backfire" and Tu-160 "Blackjack".

    @SCPCalebkid I’ve been very inactive on sp lately, I’ve hit 3k parts tho. It’s probably going to be a good two months until I come back. And before I finish my me262 I want to finish my b-1 and VVA-14

    @Falkenwut ok thank you so much I’ll make sure to use that.
    Just one question, how would you use the basic wings and still blend it in to make it look nice?

    @Captain247 please Tag me, i'd be more than happy to check it out!!! Your Modelling skills are awesome!

    For keeping realistic performance, I recommend:
    1 - Get the real engine power in N, and match the game's engine power multiplier to the real deal [Real Engine Power N / Game Engine Power N = Realistic Power Multiplier]

    2 - Match the Weight as close as possible

    3 - Clear off Drag points to make it's top-speed match the real deal (removing all Drag points won't make it realistic either...)

    4 - For some planes, flying other simulators may help. I use DCS for a bunch of the planes I fly... still can't seem to match them...

    It can get tricky sometimes. Personally using Blocky basic wings gives me better performance than realistic fuselage wings for example...

    @Falkenwut thank you. I’ve been working on getting more realistic flight performance and in my next post hopefully I’ll have it down.

    Great Build! Love the smoothness of the paintjob! Something I can't imagine myself doing!

    I am not particularly a fan of unrealistic flight performance though, but that's a personal preference kind of thing...
