Auto Credit Based on Sockdragger's Aerosud Dauphin CBL

Aerosud I-3225 'Dauphin': a fictional French jet trainer from the late 1970's, in the vein of the BAE Hawk or Dornier/Dassault Alpha Jet.

Not much more to say other than that it flies pretty decent, (although the landing speed is rather high) and that I went a bit overboard on the details, the custom landing gear and the cockpit layout.

Features:
- Top speed of 600 mph/900 kmh
- Carrier capable
- 4 hardpoints for guns, rockets or practice bombs (sorry, didn't include any of them here, but you can always add your own)
- Custom landing gear (See the video on how I did it)
- Two crazy detailed VR capable cockpits

Buttons and gizmos:
- Activate8: General power, unclicking A8 on the ground will act as a parking brake
- Activate1: Canopy open/close
- Activate2: Tail Hook for carrier landings
- Activate3: Formation lights
- VTOL Down: Flaps
- VTOL Up: Air Brakes
- Brake: Wheel AND Air Brakes

Happy Landings!

    I appreciate the efforts to make it looks like a french aircraft :)
    It's not a bad build but... tail strikes are hard to avoid... and maybe lower drag and lower thrust would have been even better.
