    I just noticed that only the downloaded plane has issues with its Yaw, being stuck with the fuselage piece underneath. Something went wrong before Uploading I guess..

    Turns out when you reverse the wing layout of a J-10 it turns into an F-16 lmao

    This is a really nice jet! I also had a problem with the yaw on my last build. The one I had saved worked fine but when it would be downloaded it would be stuck. That’s an odd coincidence

    Beautiful airplane, I only have one problem with it.. the roll is way to sensitive... I have to be extremely careful with rolling or else the axis goes nuts... I can do a hard roll left, let go of the controls and I will keep rolling left for 5 seconds then finally calm down. Not sure if there is a reason behind this or not. Just thought I'd let you know. you got an upvote from me. Nice bird.

    You should have done with the canards it would have been really cool to showcase funky trees from 1.9 @LeonardoEngineering

    @ChisP the actual plane started by looking more like a Chengdu J-10, with delta wing / canard configuration.

    After 1.9 came out, I decided to move to a more "Conventional" look, and I took heavy inspiration from the F-16C, and I specified it undirectly in the Description.

    I can tag you on the unlisted ones if you want :)

    Hi @Diloph ! If you are talking about the description ones, I just use the screenshots taken in-game by uploading them on an image hosting website such as imgur.
    If you scroll to the bottom of SimpleCheats it should be explained in detail.
