Auto Credit Based on Zilozite's ! [NORTHSTAR] [PEA] SU-33SM (Ground Attack)
ive given my beautiful child VTOL capabilities. controls in aircraft instructions.
this isnt lore accurate, i just wanted to try implementing a VTOL system on something, and this aircraft was the first that popped to mind. ive never made a VTOL system before, and this is my first time trying it.
You may add your own armamanets.
Changes made from original Su-41: Added VTOL mode (AG4) and togglable RCNs (AG3). Removed all armaments and 5 of the pylons cause i needed mass stability. Added braking system for VTOL mode. Made winglet pylons for Roll control RCNs. Removed afterburner for stability.
How to VTOL:
- Turn OFF AG8, turn ON AG3 & AG4. Wait for the back engines to position straight downwards.
- Once they are positioned, set the throttle to 19% or 20%, slow motion can help.
- Get to a high height, i prefer 2000 feet at yeager, then turn on AG8.
- Turn OFF AG3 & AG4. Your nose WILL pitch down, so use thrust vectoring (AG8 ON) to not fall, and to get to level flight. The thrust vectoring uses FT code, so it shouldn't be too hard to stabilize.
- And now you took off! get around 300 MPH if you want to turn off thrust vectoring (AG8 OFF).
Things to note:
- Landing is harder than taking off.
- There is no fly by wire in VTOL mode, just a gyroscope.
- Braking system will only slow you down to around 100 MPH, so you will need to pitch in the opposite direction of travel to slow down more when landing.
- i have not tried carrier landings with VTOL, but taking off works fine.
- the RCNs (AG3) dont really do much to help, the gyroscope does most of the work to keep you balanced in VTOL.

DAMN THIS IS A NICE PLANE!
@Zilozite Im not an expert with stealth planes, but flankers are the prettiest. But cool idea to try a stealth plane! Good luck with ur next project:)
@keksiperse i didnt make the original frame so thats why its good, but if youd like to help me frame the newer aircraft i can try to find references to help. imma go with stealth flanker, or a stealth framed plane with inspiration from a flanker.
@Zilozite Oh, Very cool! For me it usually takes only a few hours to frame an aircraft. For example framed that Mig29 under 2hours and edited and modified it for 4hours. But your plane is far better!
@keksiperse oh thanks!! im thinking about making a whole new airframe rather then continuously changing stuff about this aircraft.
im thinking either stealth flanker, or something new.
@Zilozite I ment that in a good way🙌🏻. Very nice work dude.
@keksiperse ??? can you elaborate
Bro get a job cuz wtf XD
