A fictional canard delta wing Saab plane with the old Swedish Air Force roundels in the official Swedish flag colours. (The new ones are the same, but in boring grayscale.) It has some really nice flying characteristics. (The name translates to 'Saab 42 the thunderbird'.)
Instructions:
VTOL up: Flaps
AG1: Drop fuel tank
AG2-6: Fire missiles
AG7: Landing light
AG8: Navigation lights

Happy flying!

The emblems on this are gorgeous! There's only one word which can describe this plane:
fap fap fap
You know, tank porn exists. Y no pleinz pr0n?? Me sad :(
Cool! @kikasshes
@TacoAircraftCo I made them myself
Hey @kikasshes , where are the Roundels from? I need them for a gripen build.
@zed Why have all your planes been removed?
@Ahtzee I even think that the first thing I ever scaled was an air brake.
@kikasshes that's kool. I didn't know you can do that
@Ahtzee as you can see scaled parts help a lot. Feel free to grab the air brake (or any other part) on this plane. :)
Being Swedish I did enjoy flying this and experiencing what it feels like and controls pretty fine
-->Photo album<--@LOSTechOrdnance Thank you, and have a good night :P
@kikasshes thanks! i'll have to give it a go some time! im off to bed now i was meant to go sleep some time ago but i was sidetracked playing with planes instead lol, have a nice day!
@kikasshes Jaha? ;-; Hade faktist ingen aning om det haha :p
@LOSTechOrdnance My tip is to get Notepad++ (it's free) and first just look at what changes in the xml when you change things in the editor (in game). Then you can experiment by changing values in the xml to see what happens in the editor.
@Othawne Det finns faktiskt ett litet gäng svenskar här på SimplePlanes.com.
@kikasshes Åh yey! Är inte ensam längre haha
@Othawne Tack så mycket!
@kikasshes ooh i just dont have the fine touch /smile I love what you did to it. is the XML stuff hard to learn, do you need special software to do it? i really should google all this i bet. I like the blended rear landing gear too all up its a sweet looking piece of work, i'd give you another +1 if i could!
I Don't know of you're swedish but... Den är fin som fasiken!
@LOSTechOrdnance The centerline gun was just nudged into place, nothing crazy about that. XML modding was used for scaling parts like the intakes, rear gear, air brake and rotators and modifying some other properties of parts (Like making the canard control surfaces only move 10*, changing the sizes of the fuselage block used for the roundels and adding different inputs.).
VERY shiny, the old bird buffs up nicely when given the correct tender loving care! do you use the xml modding thing to do those finer details, like the centerline gun (i LOVE that!) and the hidden rotators?
@Skua I used this as reference.
@kikasshes they look great! The little black outlines are a nice touch
@Skua What do you think about these roundels? ;)
@Benkelmans Thanks!
