WISTERIA'S FINEST


The NEW maroon squad livery, now reflecting its colors better than the Su-41. the Su-41's livery is now gonna be called testbed red for simplicity.

also, figured out blueprint images can be used like thumbnails. (so thats how they do it...)

try making your own livery too (pardon the unintuitive color pallette)


CONTROLS

AG1: toggle canopy
AG2: activate parachute
AG3: open bay doors + activate armaments
AG4: release pods
AG5: activate afterburner (changed, now able to be on at any throttle.)
AG6: nav + formation lights
AG7: Toggle Canards
AG8: toggle TVC

VTOL: central HUD config
Trim: trim

Also comes with passive radar jamming!

explanation: by placing the main cockpit in the back of the tail section (back facing radar), missiles will aim for the tail and not the center of your vulture, making you much harder to hit. it also emulates how IR missiles go after the engines and not the other parts of the plane, and how radar missiles will target the most radar returning part of the plane, which in this case would also be the tail.


CHANGES

  • new cockpit with better HUD (both seen on the TNI-AU Version)
  • new engines & better speed (yes, the mach 4 ones)
  • livery similar to an SR-71, matching that of early Kistaryan fighter prototypes
  • controls should feel a bit better if anything. i'm trying to get better stability on this bird. this isn't the final version
  • better interception capabilities if you'd like to use this in multiplayer

SCREENSHOTS


the armaments, 12 bombs & 30 YM-22s, perfect for Solo missions, and biblically deadly in a team.


the inside of the cockpit


still haven't fixed the right angles issue for the weapon pods bouncing radar waves off the wings and back to the radar, but may be fixed in a newer version
