Several people have asked me to make something based on the X-15, so here's my rendition of it. This being a SledDriver Industries non-replica, it's altogether more fun than the original, with two plasma cannons, 20 air-to-ground missiles, and 20 air-to-air missiles. The part count is quite low, so most devices should be able to handle it.
- Custom camera 1: Cockpit view
- AG1: Afterburner
- AG2: High agility mode
- FireGuns: Fire plasma cannons
- FireWeapons: Fire missiles (select mode and lock on to a target first)

@SledDriver You've got a point there...
@KSPFSXandSP As Teddy Roosevelt said, "Speak softly, and carry a megawatt-class plasma cannon. Or two."
Houston, we have plasma cannons.
@Kevinairlines you wont get any bad stuff. Overload is safe.
Yes its prob the best A12 on here ive seen so far. I was kinda just curious how a plane like that would look scripted. It seems like the angles make it a difficult traditional style build. @SledDriver
No problem! Thank you! @SledDriver
@Texasfam04 Have you seen this build?
@SledDriver Yey
@SledDriver damn
@CRJ900Pilot I'll post a bomber soon, just working out the details in my head. Thanks.
@EliteArsenals24 Thanks. As it happens, I've got a weapon system ready to go. I'll post it today.
Very nice. As usual I like your smooth designs. Can I suggest something. I would very much like to see you make a new weapon system. I just want to see professional builds from one of the masters I look up to. Especially the ones that make original weapons.
Whispers bomber...bomber...BOMBER...B O M B E R
jk take your time but nice job on this!
@SledDriver THANK YOU
@Kevinairlines Yeah, it's safe as far as I can tell.
Thanks, @Alpha029
Thanks, @Texasfam04. Sure, the A-12 is almost too easy.
Thanks, @Treadmill103. Ahh, just ignore scale when looking at my builds. Just pretend everything in the sandbox is very small :)
Thanks, @Freerider2142. That's the great thing about SP to me, that you're not bound by the limitations of real life. SR-71 that flies like a stunt plane? Check. X-15 with 40 missiles? Check...
@Latios22 I make one every so often... I have quite a few builds under 400 parts.
Thanks, @BaconRoll. It was even thicker on the real thing... and wedge-shaped. The chopped-off rear of the X-15 added as much drag as an entire F-104 Starfighter, but the wedge-shaped stabilizers were more effective at hypersonic speeds.
Thanks, @FlyingThings. Sure, the X-33 would be easy.
Thanks, @Chancey21
HAY is overload mod safe.
like I will not get any bad stuff ?
@Treadmill103 @FlyingThings
Sled, i dont know anything abt scripting so I dont know how possible it is to make certain planes.....BUT! can you look into making THIS its the A-12 Avenger 2, there is very few decent ones on here. They had the only mach up on my base until they moved it a couple years ago to a local air museum. HERE is a youtube vid that shows some of the body features. Thank You
EDIT I DONT KNOW WHY IT SAYS MCDONNEL DOUGLAS, GENERAL DYNAMICS WAS THE PRIME CONTRACTOR FOR THE PLANE...GOOD OLE WIKI
