I don't/didn't do interiors :v. (Nor nice looking screenshots for that matter)


ag1: cannon timed fuse on/off.
ag2: refueling probe extension.
ag3: n/a
ag4: n/a
ag5: manual open/close bay doors.
ag6: n/a
ag7: n/a
ag8: thrust vectoring on/off

Pitch/roll/yaw normal.
Flaps/spoilers on VTOL (deltas usually don't have/use them but whatever).
Trim normal (on canards).


I copied the code (var setter et al.), and the design style, from another one of my planes.

Additional notes:

  • Was gonna add inlet humps but I'm lazy, and let's just say the internal geometry sorts that out.
  • Canard config on this is somehow very stable. It struggles to detach airflow even if I put the CoL in front; so I prioritised smooth flight over marginally better turn rate. Thus it also struggles to go into PSMs, cause it struggles to stall... The low AoA it can achieve also means it has poor maneuverability (in terms of what can be achieved in-game; this maneuverability is actually more realistic in terms of vertical Gs).
  • I know jet engines don't have a fire streak without AB, but this is how I had it on the other build, and it uses less parts. I mean i could've just made it have no plume and say it doesn't have an AB, but big flame good, right?
  • I almost never do custom gears, cause it's easier to just stick some prefabs on there. disableAircraftCollisions on wheels also mean it can't land on another craft (well at least not the wheels), so if I'm to do custom gear, I need to make a wheel-well and tune the retraction and extension mechanisms (for an example see my OAH-1's front gears; I really had to finesse them in), and that's a pain, so I usually don't do it.
  • Cannons and guns on both sides 'cause symmetry innit.
  • Bay doors very simple, one axle, to conserve part count and simplicity (don't mind the gap).

Churned this out in 4 days lol.
