CONTROLS
VTOL up for flaps / VTOL down for sweep
AG1 / AG2 / AG3 for missiles / Camera 1/2/3
AG5 Drogue parachute
AG8 toggles autopilot while you control the guided missiles
WINGS
Use VTOL slider to control variable geometry wings. Up for flaps, down for full sweep, neutral for normal flight.
THROTTLE
Normal Operational setting is 90%
Afterburner engages at 100% throttle
HANDLING
Aircraft will lift off between 175 and 200mph IAS with full flaps
Stall speed varies but speeds below 400IAS are only recommended for takeoff and landing. Maximum speed with afterburner and full sweep is between 1200 and 1400mph IAS depending on circumstances.
To save fuel, normal flight parameters are as follows: Neutral VTOL position, 90% throttle
For supersonic flight, engage afterburner at 100% throttle and move wings to full sweep (VTOL down).
Landings procedure is 30-50% throttle as needed, flaps between half and full as needed. Approach speed should be 300mph with touchdown around 200mph. USE ACTIVATION GROUP 5 FOR DROGUE CHUTE
WEAPONS
This aircraft is armed with 3 Raduga Kh-22 standoff missiles capable of destroying surface targets from extreme ranges and beyond visual distance of the aircraft itself.
Launch Procedure as follows
-Set aircraft on a steady heading and into a mild climb
-Engage the LAUNCH AUTOPILOT by DISABLING ACTIVATION GROUP 8
-Select the proper camera and activate the missile.
Camera 1 / Missile 1 / AG 1
Camera 2 / Missile 2 / AG 2
Camera 3 / Missile 3 / AG 3
Tailgun
The twin barrel GSh-23 reciprocating autocannon is used to deploy chaff and flare countermeasures

The missile system is great! However simpleplanes always autoswitches me to orbit mode when I try to launch the second missile.
My bad 1.7 years with no aircraft
@Default4 I'm flattered.
@F104Deathtrap ah, I've always beckoned how long it'd take to beat you, you were always a milestone I wanted to beat, so here we are, haha
@Default4 lol, you have bodly gone where (almost) everybody has gone before! I sometimes wonder how many gold users have been here longer than me.
After all this time... I can finally do it.
Bruh make a B-17 then, it’s not called the “Flying Fortress” for nothing. @F104Deathtrap
@PoinX25tlessWhyShouldI Right now I am constructing a 12th century Norman castle. It's very time consuming, mining all the stone and cutting the timber, refining the iron ore and that's all aside from actually building the bloody thing. At least I've got the moat dug. But the whole project could take quite some time, and I dont see any aeronautical engineering getting done in the meantime.
Its been a year wheres plane smhmhmhmhmhmhmh
I’m back after 2 months.
Welp, guess I need to wait for 1- you to release a plane, 2- then i can see how long it took and come back 2 months after the length it took to make the plane @F104Deathtrap
@PointlessWhyshouldi That's ok, it took me like 18 months to post it. Thanks
Only took me 6 months to upvote/spotlight
@KnightOfRen Thanks, lol. I feel bad about how things went, hopefully everything will turn around for him. Anyway, take care.
@F104Deathtrap
Oh sorry then. Nice plane btw.
@KnightOfRen see below
@F104Deathtrap
Wtf
@KnightOfRen I didnt block you? Wait. Lemme see.

We no longer share a server. Anyway, sorry your bud is having a bad day. He only credit James after I called him out on it and it's not right to post thumbnails of stuff you didnt make. I have said my piece on this issue and don't really feel like continuing the subject.
Dude, leave FeiWu alone. He makes good challenges, and credited james EVERYWHERE HE COULD for the C180. Its like you're hating on low point users. Btw, you blocked me on discord??!
@F104Deathtrap
Interesting. Thanks for the info!
@KnightOfRen They designed the whole plane more like a fighter than a bomber in order to reduce drag. That's the revised ductwork. Originally it had inlets like the F-4 Phantom. Inlet design is crucial for supersonic performance.
Funny....a bomber with that style of inlets. I love it tho!
@F104Deathtrap looks really good tho
@Northsoutheastthrop Thanks! The funny part is I wanted to do a Lancer but figured it was too difficult so I made this instead. lol
Nice
