Heres a little something that won’t require beta!!
Controls are self explanatory. Throttle above 90% for afterburner.
My thanks to alien for his feedback (apologies for not incorporating all your recommendations) and RamboJutter for inspiring me to build a lightning via his saab/lightning build!

@MrCOPTY beats me 🤣
Curated?
nice and scale! great work !
@Tang0five
Howdy. Yeah - its been a while. Hope youre well? Im still pottering around, but the tools here are starting to get a bit beyond my ability… Im just getting to grips with the glass!
Been a while @GhostHTX I hope this means you’ll be building again?
Very nice. Pig ugly, but very nice.
That’s v high praise indeed given your credentials @ChiChiWerx thank you! I do a fair bit of background reading and watch a lot of documentary clips when building - plus I couldn’t help myself and ask SPs own resident ex lightning pilot (alien) for his feedback, which he kindly gave bless him!
Also, amazing flight dynamics. Just with a real jet, I can get on the correct 3 degree glide path, set a power to hold an airspeed (about 10% and 160-165 KIAS on final), adjust the trim to maintain the aim point and flare as I come over the threshold. You are one of a very, very few builders who makes a build that behaves properly during approach and landing. You also use the correct symmetric airfoil, the smallish fuel load reflects the RL Lightning’s limitations and it behaves as closely to its RL counterpart as is probably possible in SP. Now in my “favorites” list…bravo!
The Mighty Lightning! This thing exudes British Greatness!
Indeed. @rexzion
bri ish
Thank you @RaminBuild :)
Beautiful plane. Upvoted.
I find it best to build something with a certain livery/scheme in mind but I kinda neglected the wings on this which is why the red stripe doesn’t go the full length of the wing unlike in RL. I’m hoping the new update will make this easier. @Flanker715
@Tang0five I mean the color scheme itself and the identification marks, but I've already looked at your model in the game and understood how you did it, but are there any other options for how you can make camouflage without using object, and for example, in Photoshop to do?
:) :) thank you once more! @Trainzo
Just BIG fabulous build .
Aa@Tang0five
Thanks @Flanker715 wouldn’t have said this was camouflaged - do you mean the general colour scheme?
NEVER!!! :) :) @SussyBreadBoi
Well spotted - I never actually notice that anymore. I did have a copy of windows (bought for cheap) but for some reason it would install but not activate and I could never bother to get it sorted.
Hi cool plane.but how you do camofluges?
