All credit for the build itself goes to @rubbishaircraft, I just improved the handling. If you upvote this, I hope you upvote the predecessor as well.

Made some improvements to the flight handling. The cannons have also been upgraded, and the ship has been up-armoured. Forward/backward movement and strafing work perfectly, but because of the asymmetric design, turning induces a slight roll. Handling is still good enough to be able to maneuver close to ships and sink them.

I had to remove all the wings because they interfere with the handling of a spaceship-type flight module. Some parts and subassemblies were attached to the wings, so they had to go as well.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Retract landing gear to power up antigravity drive, and throttle up to power up main engines. Then, use:

  • AG1 to go forward
  • AG2 to go backward
  • Pitch to move up and down
  • Roll to turn
  • Yaw to strafe
  • Pitch with AG3 to change pitch
  • FireGuns to fire cannons.

    @Ephwurd No harm done, you can always delete the files and reinstall.

    @SledDriver So I made a mistake, I used Direct3D 10

    @Ephwurd Not sure what you mean. I just tried downloading it, and it worked just fine.

    @SledDriver I can't find your .fx file here

    @SledDriver what rendering API should I use?

    @Ephwurd First, you need to install ReShade -- it just needs to be extracted to the folder containing SimplePlanes.exe, which on my PC is G:\games\Steam\SteamApps\common\SimplePlanes\. In there you'll find a folder called reshade-shaders\Shaders. Extract the SledDriverShaderPack.fx file there, then launch the game, and in the config dialog that comes up, click "Reload." That should load all the shaders in the .fx file, which you can enable one by one. The one you see in my screenshots and gifs is OrangeBlueSaturated.

    @Ephwurd Yeah, the convoy's too small to be much fun. There's a link to my shaders in my profile.

    @SledDriver try the convoy! and can you link me to your shaders again? Time to put it to good use

    @Ephwurd Yeah... I wish there was more to do in the sandbox, though. Seven targets just aren't enough.

    No, i mean my phone would probably start spewing flames and shaking like a brick in a washing machine, if i tried to run it. Heck, my editor would probably crash.
