I made a really good STOL a while ago here. Crazy that it's been over 7 years since then lol
F15 stol?
Blz vou tentar
@XEPOH i chosse not to have vtol allowed due to the fact everone would come equal 1st
@kpfpz70m933 yes that is correct. there are not allowed
@kpfpz70m933 from what I read yes those aren’t allowed
Bet
I have a question. Due to the nature of the translation, there are some parts that are unclear, so I would like to confirm. Is it correct that aircraft equipped with lift jet engines such as the F-35 and Harrier are not allowed?
Not even XML
Gonna have to build classic style here
See if I had something to submit. Hopely...
