[Ardrot] =F-1 - "Vixen"=
About
The "Ardrot F-1" is a 4.5 gen twin engine and single seat attack from the up and coming Indian arms company "Ardrot". It is a meant to be a replacement of the hit and run style combat that the MIG-25 offered. The FA-1 "Swordfish", although not vastly successful in it's production run, set the pace for this craft 5 years later. Unlike the Swordfish, the Vixen was actually cheap enough to make it into production in India's ever growing fleet of aerial warfare. 75 Units were made.
Top speed: Mach 2.4+ (Drop tanks ejected).
G's pulled: 15G's instantaneous, 12 G's sustained.
Rotate speed: 320 KM/H/ 200 MPH ( flaps down halfway)
Stall speed: 210 KM/H / 133 MPH
Ceiling height: 50,000ft (Probably wont even be able to come back down after going any higher)

Other stuff
Features
- It technically has G force limitation code.
And guess what? It actually did its job this time! it works well and you won't
see yourself passing impossible forces. That being said, it's not even close to
being actually good just yet. - It has heavy xml modding, maybe a little overboard with the drag reduction Again, but does it even really matter? It's somehow more realistic anyway, since the drag model in simpleplanes Le suck
- It has functional flaps
- it has a VR supported cockpit (Credit to jundroo, most of the cockpit is straight from the Wasp, also, guyfolk too! And sufficed to say, planarialabs hug adds a lot...)
- It is both, AI and mobile friendly, without sacrificing much detail

About my experience
There isn't much for me to ramble about on this one... I was just.. Kind off willing to make something honestly. I'm a little mad I'll have to do this but everything I make will now live under the shadow of the ambitious things I WANT to make... like the Starbreak... or the Echostar! Those are my most beloved creations and you best bet I'll wait to see them to success until the day I die. The Echostar, as greatful as I was to the people who did recognize it, not a lot did. We really did wait 3 full years before deciding it's time to let it out in the wild west of the site...I love creating things and putting a lot of work when I say I will.. and we did. The starbreak was supposed to be my next plane here, it was supposed to be great... But I'm a little scared to put that much time into something I love for it to barely get the recognition I thought it would get... So the starbreak will have to wait, and in the meantime, you guys can have this cool thing!
:P
Btw I understand A lot of you don't know shit about what im talking about, so here are links for context!
