@NANOMAN Y'know what, you're right. I got that wrong on the old Su-27 as well. :/
.
Ah well, I'll deal with the inaccuracy since the aileron still follows a panel line, and I can't get custom control surfaces (aside from tailerons) to have enough effect on maneuvering.
Ah, the fighter most feared by U.S. pilots in the conflict. I have an earlier variant of the same jet (the F-13) in my collection, but this looks great.
.
Nice to see it in the markings of my people too :)
@Kevon87 I've secretly had a running theme I called "Project:Nam" (cliche I know) where I've been building jets from that conflict. I'll probably get back to it at some point, but I DO have an A-4E planned and an A-1H.
@Zanedavid I was surprised how good it looked, to be honest. It's probably not an actual pallet used by the Russians, but it suits the new build well; it's more like US Aggressor schemes
@Tang0five This upgrade to the original Su-27 was long coming; even back then I wasn't happy that I couldn't get the proportions just right. I am absolutely happy with this incarnation, and hopefully it'll restart my interest to build other offshoots of the Flanker
Just got done flying it around and doing a dogfighting test versus my own Su-27.
.
Your build looks great, but performance wise I have to be as gentle as possible in the pitch. Even mildly intense pitch control below around 350-400mi/hr causes me to enter spins, which I think hurts the overall agility. This makes dogfighting a tricky prospect.
.
Also it...kinda like to blow up when firing missiles at certain AoA. Not sure why that is.
.
Still it's a nice build :)
@BlackhattAircraft SO FUNNY THING...This jet was actually started first, but then I got stuck on how to get the landing gear to look right and stopped.
.
After being bored staring at it's unfinished behind I switched to the F-8 and here we are. :) Now both jets are up
@Evenstsrike333 It's on the to-do list somewhere. I already want to make one because I had a previous F-15 and...ugh, I can't look at that one anymore. X)
@LockheedLover @AerialFighterSnakes Aww jeez...maybe tone down the praise a little bit; I'm not a great builder by any means, I just do the best I can and add the features I feel need to be there. I always want to improve.
.
@LockheedLover To answer you specifically, I did build a Harrier II for one user, but generally I'll just add it to the "list" so to speak. I've gotten requests for AC builds and a Super Hornet before.
@Leehopard Happens with my A-6E too; flaperon roll control when flaps down is baically useless. Thankfully the A-6 has spoilerons that somewhat help, but I still can't figure out how to get custom ailerons to be as responaive as normal ones.
@ChiChiWerx I've always had the trim like that. I do have to admit that SP physics and the game engine aren't kind to this guy. The A-6E had the same problem when I deployed flaps.
.
@JohnnyBoythePilot Hmm, I'll check that out.
@FranzPeterSiegfried Most parts I've needed for a build was the F-4B at 400 parts flat. I'm proud to say I've been able to get away with decently low part counts on my replicas
@XthehungrymigetX Not sure where it got that bias. I probably could have done some mirroring work to make it disappear, but I'm willing to deal with the roll. Glad you like it though.
Dang this thing is about to hit 4,000 downloads...crazy.

Yo, this looks great! :)
Holy crap dude xD

Oh! @Kungfuevan Here's the new Flanker-B model.
@N1KO I don't think my crappy laptop could handle it x)
.
Maybe I could pay more attention to external bits and bumps at least.
@BenSkyWalker It's a cool build, and works as advertized. :) No problem
@Tang0five This upgrade to the original Su-27 was long coming; even back then I wasn't happy that I couldn't get the proportions just right. I am absolutely happy with this incarnation, and hopefully it'll restart my interest to build other offshoots of the Flanker
@CoolPeach I'm playing Strikers Fighters 2 a lot after rediscovering it, and yeah...the -7D's are the worst ones. That's more what I'm getting at. <:3
Yeah there's no way my laptop will run either version of this lol R.I.P.
+1.
Beautiful. Trailer for this thing was awesome.

AIM-7D's THO...

@AerialFighterSnakes Maybe. I'll have to pick a model, but a Reisen is in the future...somewhere.
+1@methirasoysa123 :)
@vcharng Hayabusa is the just the Japanese name for it. No different than how we called the F4U 'Corsair' or something along those lines.
@AerialFighterSnakes Short Little Ugly Fellow :)

@Thelegitpilot13 laughing-cries in every replica I've ever made
+1@LockheedLover OOOoooooo, I'd love to make a bomber! Just...gotta figure out the bomb bay X)
@LockheedLover Okie
.
Did you have a request, by chance?
@inocone The physics and overall game engine don't lend themselves well to replicas, but darnit this is a great Hayabusa. Nice work. :)
+1@BlackhattAircraft So about that A-7 you mentioned...

@JohnnyBoythePilot This. THE classic phrase that even got a patch made out of it
+1@ChiChiWerx Indeed.
@Kungfuevan A-4E is on my list, and I have a drawing for it. Just gotta wait for the next thing to be done
+1@HawkerAviation Aww thanks. I have far too many projects on the brain and it's killing my productivity x)
@Kungfuevan I'm gonna redo the Su-27 first with Designersuite, then do the Su-30MKI. So it'll be a while
@HighOnSP Have an upvote too :)
Could you explain the weapon requirement, because I'm getting confused if you mean stock SP weapons or stuff that was supplied with this post
@Datboi1234 4 Also had it. However that was the -5E Tiger II, so slightly different. This is the original -5A 'Freedom Fighter.'
.
But I get ye
@DemXu Sure.
@XthehungrymigetX Not sure where it got that bias. I probably could have done some mirroring work to make it disappear, but I'm willing to deal with the roll. Glad you like it though.
@emilydyer455 I do have a Hornet planned, but it's a two-seat legacy Hornet. Maybe I can do a Super Hornet, but no promises.
Way better than my F1.
+1@Roswell @Bife @Kungfuevan Thank you
@yoshicraze Yeah, go ahead. Just give proper credit.
+1@0644701018 Not an 4E; this lacks the longer nose and gun ;)
@Shippy456 Kind words of you. Thanks
@AnoniMosu It was called 'The Flying Drumstick' for a reason.
@ChiChiWerx I just balanced it nose-heavy. I should've put trim on the tailplanes but I was tired and forgot to do it.
@Zott Indeed. Beautiful shaping ^.^
