@4848 Ah I See, Hope You Can Give Credit To Me, Also Zaychik Too
@NewWorldAerospace yes alas I got the landing gear from you and I'm doing the same thing with other projects because I think you make perfect landing gears for their suspensions. Sorry I didn't mention you, I'll do it right away
@4848 Also, Hey !
Thats Main Landing Gear Piston Steered This Is Come From Mine !
inuyasha? Isn't this is from @Zaychik's A-4 Skyhawk ?
@Kris102874837 the basic version just needs to be improved on the landing gear, then I will have to fix every single livery if I work hard it will take less than a week for the basic version. In the meantime I still have to publish all the two-seater versions of the a-4 skyhawk
F-14 When?
