Auto Credit Based on Gravity's Pa-43 Switchback
Presenting, the Pa-43 Switchback! Wow, I could not be happier with how this turned out! For my first fighter with an interior, it aint that bad eh? It's a fictional plane, and roughly the same size as an F-16 Fighter, only a few feet shorter. It comes with 4 interceptor missiles, and two miniguns, as well as ejectable fuel tanks.
CONTROLS
The basics are as usual,
AG1 To drop the tanks,
AG2 To deploy a parachute for short landings
AG8 To disable nav lights
The stuff in the cockpits will move with their inputs.
FEATURES
A full interior!
Air brakes
A parachute
Fuel tanks
Missiles and miniguns
USAF insignia
That's all for now, I'll see yas soon!

@BlazingGloryAircraft haha, I'm pretty proud of dat plane =). Just keep at this game, you'll make stuff like this in no time
Wow man! I have no clue how to make things look like that! Love it. Hopefully I can learn a thing or two from ya!
@franticmatty
@FranticMatty wanna use this? =)
@Gravity np
@BaconRoll ty
Sweet! Much more detailed than my one lol
@BaconRoll
@aircraftarsenal123 thanks =D
This looks seamless, very nice cockpit, everything is pretty smooth. I recommend three things for this plane however:
-Add a pointy nose rather than a flat one (it’s possible, I did it on my phone all in game, and it does wonders for the looks)
-Add speed, about 40,000 lbf gets it to 471 mph
-Change the main airfoil to semi-symmetric. Combined with more speed this will make the plane more stable when cruising and maneuvering, and it takes away that nose wobble and pitch down tendency. Also remove some of the weight from the nose (about 1000 lbs less gets the CoM closer to where it needs to be)
Edit: the rear stabilizers could be be a little bigger I think
After the wing/speed changes are done it flies like a dream. Great job on the plane and detailing, it’s very balanced aesthetically but could use a little work on the flight characteristics. Good plane man
@Faded thank you
