    Your welcome, I'm glad we're on good terms again! For awhile I had a secondary account on SP where I uploaded scrapped projects (from like +2 years ago) but has since been deleted.

    Ha, I knew that had to be you! The X-24 build style was just too close to yours for that account to be someone else. Alright I'll check them out!

    I recently made another account that I'm gonna be making most of my builds on (I will keep this account and maybe upload a plane every few months...more like keep updating the F-36) but I just made some missiles that I want You to try out before I release them to the public. Please tell me what You think of them

    Oh Sweet, I like that idea, and yeah let me know when You fix those things on Your F-24, I can't wait to see it/fly it and test it out

    I'm also going to go into a lot more detail in the manufacturing & design process of the F-24 once it's complete. Kind of a crazy idea of mine, but would be absolutely fun if it actually works, I may create a mini-assembly plant where players can try to assemble their own F-24 Warbler. It will be a totally separate upload of my main F-24 upload, but the fighter will be broken up in it's main sections & components, and players will assemble it using a typical assembly roof-crane and the fuselage pieces will connect with magnets.

    I'll definitely tag you the F-24 Warbler when it's nearing completion. Here's the remaining items on my list of things I still need to complete on the F-24:

    Remaining Work:
    -Landing Gear (1/2 Done)
    -AESA Radar section of nose cone
    -Nav, Beacon, Strobe, Formation, & Landing Lights
    -Yaw/Roll/Airbrakes
    -Cockpit Instrumentation
    -Helmet-Mounted Display (HMD)
    -Fix Broken Throttle
    -More Fuselage Details (like AoA indicators)
    -Fly-By-Wire Control System

    Awesome thanks for understanding. And don't worry You don't have to cancel the Broadsword version at all, You keep going with that costumer/contract. That F-36 family tree sounds really cool, I'd love to see it and look forward to seeing it. And as far as Your new fighter in the making, congrats. If You're able to, tag me on the build when You're done with it or just before it goes public I'd love to test it out (maybe even before anyone else does). Your builds are really cool so keep me posted on them. @JohnnyBoythePilot

    I'm also going to attempt at learning Funky Trees code and use that to make special functions with the F-24 Warbler such as modless fly-by-wire (F-24 right now is hecking unstable) and modless cockpit instrumentation. Tessemi already demonstrated the possibility of fly-by-wire without mods and BogdanX and jamesPLANESii also made cockpit instruments without mods all using Funky Trees, and that's what I plan to do with not only the F-24 Warbler, but with all my future builds.

    In that case, awesome, and thanks again! When I finish the Phase II Broadsword (and hopefully I'll remember this when I do), I'll make a sort of "family tree" map that highlights the evolution of the Rainier F-36 Broadsword and will be sure to credit you and include your original F-36 Thorny Devil in the tree. Also, I was actually hoping I wouldn't have to totally cancel my Broadsword version since it actually has a customer/contract attached to it, the US Navy, for their autonomous squadron program which utilizes my QLX-125 and our F-36XC Edge. Right now the upcoming F-24 Warbler is Rainier Aerospace's priority in manned fighter development, and the program is going absolutely fantastic so far. The building technique & part-efficiency with the F-24 Warbler already far-exceeds the relatively inefficient structure of my F-36 Broadsword variant. I'd say over 75% of the F-24 warbler airframe is complete and it's well under half the part count of the F-36 Broadsword, yet it looks much higher in quality. The airframe is also more "seamless" and there aren't as many panel gaps and edges as the Broadsword. Basically the build technique and other "technologies" the F-24 Warbler will pioneer will be applied to the Phase II Broadsword.

    Thanks for understanding. I also gave direct credit to you on my BAE Broadsword & BNRV-36A Broadsword public uploads. Also thanks for the words, your build style & quality has jumped leaps and bounds since your original F-36 Thorny Devil (and even that was a very good simple build). The A-12 Vigor II has to be one of my new favorite builds you've created. It's very well done.

    That's okay, I was just making sure You weren't taking 100% of the credit, I know You don't mean to do that (You're an awesome SP user in that way). And thank You, I am currently in the making of another update/development to my F-36 (but is still on the drawing board). As far as credit, JED and Rainier Aerospace can discuss terms of production and development of You're interested. JED is willing to give the F-36 design to Rainier Aerospace to further develop and play around with the design, And all future builds (like the broadsword) will be given full credit to Rainier Aerospace. But JED will still develop and improve their F-36 design on their own. JED is willing to let Rainier Aerospace use the F-36's design and develop and continue to upgrade their Broadsword (similar to how Japan was able to use the F-16 design to make their own F-2).
