Features
- Very easy to land.
- Adjustable pitch sensitivity.
Controls
- Custom camera 1: gun camera view.
- VTOL: control pitch sensitivity.
- Pitch, Roll, Yaw, Throttle, Brake: work as expected.
- FireWeapons: release bombs/fire plasma cannon.
Armament
- One very overpowered cannon.
- A lot of very powerful bombs.
Takeoff and flight
- Throttle up.
- Cruise setting is 50% throttle. Going above 50% engages afterburner.
Landing
- Set throttle to 25%.
- When speed falls to 300 mph or so, enable AG2.
- Keep pitch angle at 10 degrees or less to get the optimal sink rate.

no smoothened parts but its smooth as f**k
Thanks, @Strikefighter04. Yeah, I'm big on build quality. So much so that I wrote thousands of lines of code for it : )
One thing I like about your builds is how flush everything is. There is no outward bulges or corners or whatever, it looks very good. (I'm assuming its your programming, but still)
@SledDriver nice
@Mr10ToN A little math, a little programming.
lol how did you build this
@PlaneFlightX I've uploaded a fixed version here. There were a bunch of things wrong with that build, most of all that wings and engines were attached to rotators. If you want to use rotators in a build, especially attached to structural parts like wings and engines, you better keep the mass of the build very low or you'll get the nasty wobbly-build problem.
To fix it, first I replaced all the rotators and pistons with fuselage blocks. Then I set the mass of every part in the build to zero, and finally I installed one of my flight modules. I haven't made an "airliner" flight module yet so the performance is not quite realistic if that's what you're looking for, but it handles well.
@SledDriver Ok.
@PlaneFlightX well, i don't want to install even one mod.
@SledDriver It's just one mod.
@PlaneFlightX Thanks. I can't download your plane because it uses a mod...
Hi,
I was wondering if you could help me with the flight stability on my SWL-100.
Great handling btw :)
Thanks, @CRJ900Pilot
Great job as always!
Thanks, @Thefuriouschicken
Le epic @SledDriver
Thanks, @ArchibaldBalence, glad you like it :)
Wow, this plane flies like an alien ship!!!
Holy, this is amazing!!!!!!
@ThomasRoderick The tyres on the front gear on the F-18 are in fact smaller, and the gear is shorter because I wanted it to have the nose-down look that many fighters have on the ground.
The front gear looks a bit... small...
Thanks, @Treadmill103. I've never liked the F-18 but it does have some nice curves...
@AzureCorp Glad you think so :)
@SledDriver Wow, that's really cool!
@BuiltBionixInd10 Thanks :)
