I spent a lot of time working on this one, and I think it emulates the original pretty well in terms of both performance and aesthetics. Takeoff speed is around 180-200mph, and it cruises at around 300-350mph. It can break 400mph when "clean", but doesn't go far past it - Just like the real A-10. I had to use a few tricks to counter some quirks with SimplePlanes' engine, so don't be too surprised to see weird stuff underneath the fuselage! Action group 4 jettisons external stores and sets the trim accordingly. If you've used your weapons and you're nosing up, try hitting 4.
