Su-30SM

Last addition to the flanker line up for now

Quite literally my best work yet, let's get to the build before I start rambling on about how proud I am about finishing this.

Functions

Activate 1: Toggle AoA limiter
Activate 2: Toggle Canopy

Flaps are automated as usual, and TVC is always on (of course it's limited when Activate 1 is off)

Flight performance

I have quite a bit to talk about here

1, It has Thrust Vectoring!!! let's freaking goooo!!! it's pretty well made it took a while to actually FT it, but i enjoyed every second of it, the thrust vectoring is active at all times it helps reduce drag by reducing the amount of deflection the elevator needs to do to make a turn, it's a pretty neat feature really.

2, Slow is fast, the Thrust vectoring maneuvers are actually intentionally limited in pitch, it could do flips much faster but i intentionally limited it so that it is more stable and easier to control, (you can increase or decrease it by simply changing the variable "AoAlim" the denominator for pitchrate determines how fast it will pitch when limiter is off TLDR HIGHER VALUE FASTER SPIN.)

3, Again about the thrust vectoring, much like the real thing its Canted 2D thrust vectoring, it's pretty hard to actually get pure Yaw motion at high AoA with this setup, so it's a bit tricky and will lock up or roll sometimes, the trick is to Roll right when Yawing left and vice versa. It's tricky at first but when you get used to it you can do some fun maneuvers.

4, The flight performance outside of PSM is similar to the Su-27S albeit with worse energy retention and more weight, but slow speed performance is unmatched.

alright that's all, I'll continue to add updated versions of each plane when I make new discoveries, I could also smoothen the thrust vectoring more as I learn.

most importantly Enjoy, do upvote so that more people can test it out and leave some feedback.

    @SDmak Bottom right console in cockpit turn on all the switches, if you spawn above the ground like say Wright airport final approach they start on even in dogfight modes as long as it above the 3m altitude.

    @CaptainNoble Yeah if only I had a sense of photography, took an hour to decide the screenshot I'd use. and it seems thumbnails really attract players to check out builds.
