THIS AIRCRAFT IS NOT MY OWN AND AS SUCH I WONT BE TAKING CREDIT FOR IT!!!

The original aircraft was made by SonsoftheMoth, if you wish to view or download the original build just click here!

Why I Made This

so needless to say I've been spending a lot of time flying SonsoftheMoth's Simple Delta because its just a fun craft to use. After some flying I was reminded of an image of a EuroFighter Typhoon with conformal fuel tanks. being the CFT loving airplane nerd I am (I Love the Advanced Super Hornet and F-16s CFT look) I decided I wanted to put conformal fuel tanks on this simple delta fighter. With the CFTs based off of the Typhoon and the Livery being a mix of both the Typhoon and a F-16 image I found online, I made this. there's not really much else to it.

Here are the images I used.



Controls

nothings changed from the original post. to see more detailed stuff like landing and takeoff instructions and stuff like that just visit the original post.

Just in case you want to brush up on the AGs, I'll list them down here

AG 1 - Opens speedbrake
AG 2 - Jettisons the drop tanks
AG 3 - Jettisons the Air-to-Air weapons
AG 4 - Would jettison the Air-to-Ground weapons but there is none
AG 5 - Opens drag chute
AG 6 - Lowers arresting hook
AG 7 - Opens canopy
AG 8 - Turns on or off all the external lights

Extra Stuff

Because this aircraft comes with multiple loadouts I made a little post that just comes with the CFTs. If you click here you'll be taken to it. it comes with instructions to install them correctly so that you can have your own simple delta with your desired loadout! Sadly though, my livery doesn't come with it.

The CFTs shouldn't interfere with the flight characteristics of this plane to much as I zeroed out the mass and drag. that being said though this does come with extra fuel so you should be able to fly farther then the normal one. I have no idea how much fuel a conformal fuel tank actually carries so I just guesstimated and gave it about a 10% increase. If you feel that's to low or too high you can change the XML of the tank in between both the CFTs.

Hope you enjoy this little post and if you've read all they way down to here, you're a real one 🤜🤛.

    @NatsukiHoshino thank you for the kind words but this aircraft is not my own. It was a build originally made by SonsoftheMoth. All I did was give it conformal tanks and a nice livery. Although I have plans on aircraft I wish to create in the future, at the moment college has got me pretty busy.

    A very good fighter, but there are a few people who give you upvotes.
