Sukhoi was tasked with making a competitor for the eagle and dang did they make a masterpiece, one soo good that the design hasnt changed much through all models, I present before you the Su-27sm modern version of the original flanker.
This took a lot of time and it was quite frustrating, the paneling at all sections where the fuselages join is quite low quality I just couldn't figure it out. The Flight model is a bit iffy at high AoA so do be careful.
Now to controls
The interior is labeled,
AG-1 : AoA limiter (about 45°)
AG-2 : Canopy
Some more functionality info:
Engine
The engine might seem to overpowered and unrealistic on stats but I FT'd it to replicate the thrust curve on Statshark (yeah I couldn't find any better sources) essentially you get more thrust at higher speeds, full thrust at 2000km/h IAS.
Engine control when starting on a airfield you will start with the engine off ( just toggle all the buttons on the bottom right to turn on) the engine is on when you spawn for dogfights or landing approaches.
Flight stats
Air speed to not exceed : 1560 km/h IAS (hard limited by an airbrake I didn't wanna detach the wings on yall so rejoice)
Top speed : around 2556 km/h TAS @10km alt
The AoA limiter only deactivates bellow 180 m/s even if AG-1 is on, for realism reasons it would do 20Gs otherwise
G limits : this model uses AoA limiters instead of G limiters but by doing so it essentially has a G-limiter, 12G maximum, don't pull negative Gs the PID doesn't like it.
Funny maneuvers and recovery
If you Roll and Pitch up at low speeds it can do a kavochur bell maneuver, you'll probably wind up in a spin though so to recover throttle down to zero and hold Roll in the direction of spin.
That's all for me have fun.

@PrussianAirWorks Thank you, need to learn paneling and more FT.
Pretty impressive for a first build.
@LunarEclipseSP I was still writing up a description as well 😆
