This wasn't meant to be a Platinum special, but since this is a remake of the first fighter jet I posted after my heiatus, I guess it's kind of fitting. Except I have something else in the works for celebrating Platinum. >:)

Author's Notes
- I recommend using the Zoom Mod by MOPCKOEDNISHE and 5 FOV for the targeting pod camera.
- The FT used in the LANTIRN targeting pod comes from nafeij's Auto-Stabilized Target-Tracking Camera.
- The targeting pod camera works best on targets that are ahead of the aircraft.
- Doesn't make the best use of the new beta features since this build was started before the beta came out. (And I'm lazy.)
- Will replace old version if you do not change the name.
- The fuel on this plane is unlimited.
- The ammo on the gun is unlimited.

@ReinMcDeer I hope @WHNineTripleOne makes a cockpit for this. Also please consider making an updated version!
Please update this.
太重
may I ask where the blue angels version of this is?
Not sure why does the low physics part has damage when landing at the aircraft carrier
@Sm10684 I'm not sure adding more fuel to the fire will help. They probably don't care :/
@CaptainSquadronLeaderX go ahead :)
Incredible
@ReinMcDeer can you make one with a refueling probe, nice work btw!
Haha :) @ReinMcDeer
@Kangy It's in the game's name :P
Nah all good
Also the AoA is a bit off as well
But this is SP and we should keep it simple where possible right? :) @ReinMcDeer
@Kangy yeah, i might have overdone it :/, luckily thats an easy FT fix
Looks good, doesn’t fly realistically except for the roll rate
I mean come on, a Hornet doesn’t sit at 500 kp/h in a 30° climb! The Tomcat would still be in service if that was the case!
All things set aside this has a nice and smooth look
One other thing make sure you use some more ft on the gear as it warps through the doors which close first thing is the raising process.
Good stuff, just gotta do a bit more work to get it there!
@SyntheticL Thanks! Congrats to you as well
@ThatKindaWeeb Man you guys are missing out then
kongrats on plat :P
chad plane i like it its better than mine ahahahah
@ReinMcDeer not even the beta :/
@ThatKindaWeeb Not even the beta? Hope the update comes out soon for you guys then.
@ReinMcDeer Don't leave me hanging, I wanna fly it too (mobile doesn't have the update yet)
@Lightsaber70 @Falco7 You do, this uses fuselage cutting
Clean
@Falco7 don't need it for this one
Damn I still don't have 1.11 update. . .
