RJ Super Buccaneer 9.1

228k RamboJutter  2.6 years ago

Introduction

So I always liked the Buccaneer, it was an aircraft with a specific design role (fly fast and very low) which enabled it to get very close to targets without being detected by enemy radar etc. I thought this could also be assisted by utilising some more common modern concepts utlised in "stealth" aircraft.

This aircraft has so many bits that move:
Rotary bomb bay (with a MOAB in)
Folding wings
Folding Nose
Folding rear airbrake
Custom landing gear et.c

Controls

AG1 = reheat
AG2 = rotary bomb bay / arm bomb
AG3 = arrestor hook
AG4 = air brake
AG6 = fold nose, wings and airbrake (use AG4 as well to get 90deg fold)
AG7 = nav lights

Notes

Suspension... I tried everything i could think of to stop the jelly suspension but no luck, it either collapses completely or acts like jelly, no wonder i dont normally use suspension, it also has the down side of wobbling while in the aircraft, if it annoys you too much just attach a swing arm to the undercarriage leg and sieze it up.
