General Dynamics F-16

1,732 Ohmyus  4.3 years ago

Aaaand there it is! This plane sort of put itself together, it was a breeze to build. It doesn't have custom wings and control surfaces because it doesn't need them, the normal wings work perfectly. And as always, this plane features custom landing gear. Now, this plane is a killing machine, it turns amazingly, especially without the fuel tanks and the afterburner on. Also, it has "realistic" missiles, featuring the AIM-9 Sidewinder (Guardian) and the AIM-120 AMRAAM (Interceptor). Without further ado, here are the controls:


------Controls------

Ag1: Afterburner
Ag2: Drop fuel tanks
Ag3: Launch/drop all weapons
Ag4: Turn on front-wheel steering


Notes:

-The AIM-120 AMRAAM (Interceptor) tends to miss when fired too close to the enemy, so try to fire beyond 4-5 miles.

-The other missile, the AIM-9 Sidewinder is an insta-kill if fired within 2 miles from the target, although I wouldn't recommend firing from further than two miles.

-This plane is almost exclusively air-to-air, I've also built an air-to-ground version, you can check it out here: https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/MCIvG1/F-16-Ground

-Finally, this plane would not be here if it weren't for the people on the SimplePlanes Club, who helped me a lot with feedback and tips.

-That's it, folks! If you like it consider upvoting so more people can see this.
