@DimitriIqbal91 The Simplewings mod has Hollow variable fuselage parts which allows you to build complex parts without adding part numbers, and which are transparent. - Link in the description.
@DimitriIqbal91 I am not a fan of custom cockpits. Some do a brilliant job here, but if I really wanted to see detailed cockpits, I'd pick a game like DCS or some other, rather then SIMPLE planes...
Which to note, they have released an F-14 addon.. Pretty cool one
No worries. As for this post, i do agree a radar function would be awesome for a fox 2 missile or awacs setup. But I feel that simple planes won't implement it because the game is intended to be simple.
@IceCraftGaming Go ahead. There might be a possibility to build an empty space around the cannon to avoid crash detection. But I will change the rule for this. Thank you for bringing this up!
@ToeTips It's basically a Flanker with a canard & swing-wing combination.
Moving the swing-wing helps with stabilitiy depending on the application. Not particularly happy with this one to be honest. Might consider remaking or revamping it in the future.. Got other projects ongoing right now...
Really like this design!! Kinda reminds me of a mig-21 mixed in with a JF-17!
Sadly it performs like a pencil with a protractor. With a little help I'm sure this plane would be awesome!
Awesome design! I love it!
Personally I'd give it a lighter loadout to meet realistic requirements, but other than that, it's fantastic!
Would love to make a version / variant of this in the future...
@Krikkit42 I'm aware that the stock weapons are not particularly realistic. I'm keeping them to keep builders focusing on the design of the aircraft more than the weapons in particular and to avoid people from building lasers guns and impossible-homing missiles. If you wish to build your aircraft with custom weapons, you are free to do so. However when I test it, I'm going to replace them with stock weapons to give the designs a fair comparison within the game's limitations.
@Chaimber0825 Glad you liked this design! I tried my best to replicate realistic weapons on the different colors schemes provided, but then again.. this is SIMPLEplanes after all...
Also after my research for making these builds, it makes me feel that something like this is more akin the Modern Chinese aeronotical designs rather than Soviet, as it is literally a kitbashed soviet era aircraft. If you see the J-8II and you'll see what I mean...
@Ded To be fair, if their opinion means anything: by their standards, the F-15 was considered a failure... Even though it has an astonishing 104 kills to 0 losses... Just sayin...
@Nerfaddict
With weapons - only stock weapons allowed (no custom weapons)
With Fuel - only stock fuel or Fuselage load allowed (no infinite or weight-less fuel)
The rest can be XML'ed to reach the desired design and performance within the realism and limitations set in the description above.
@Bryan5 For structural safety purposes, the F-14 had a computing system called "Central Air Data Computer" (CADC). It basically moved the wings back automatically depending on the aircraft's speed, in order to avoid the wings from getting structurally damaged at high speeds. To visually see an idea of how it worked, Check out my F-14. For more information Check out this video
@OrderlyHippo Thanks :). The Swivel nozzle Lift system was very very tricky, and the whole VTOL system got very sophisticated... Lots of algebra...
I tried entering to the VTOL challenge but because of the part count I couldn't get in. For some reason Simpleplanes kinda crashes A LOT for me when builds get sophisticated, and I couldn't be bothered with trying to fix it..
STARSHIP TROOPERS!!! <3
+2I have requested this before myself! Would love to see this implemented!!
+2fantastic build!! I will build it as soon as I can :D
+2@rexzion - here's my entry for this challenge
+2Very rewarding plane to fly! you MUST make a higher definition version of this plane!!!
+2@EngineerOtaku How about this?

+2@PilotTRALALA Your version is awesome! well done!!
+2@SimpleJets will do, got some to release before, but catching up to my list
+2@Evenstsrike333 challenge accepted. But it'll take about 4 days for me to release...

+2Well done on the proportions! This plane isn't easy to get right! Keep up the good work!!
+2Always a pleasure to fly the legend :). Especially one built very well! Keep up the good work!
+2Looks and flies awesome! Keep it up mate!!!

+1CONGRATULATIONS - THIS CREATION IS SECOND PLACE IN THE Complete my plane Challenge!!
+1Good job! I will test it out soon!
+1Reminds me.of the a-9 (the precursor test program to the a-10)
Good job! Didn't expect this kind of design, but hey! It's simple planes :)
+1I will grade your plane and provide feedback once the deadline passes
@EngieWeeb thanks for pointing that out. Rule updated
+1@MrCOPTY a vtol a-10 ;)

@LunarEclipseSP hmm.. what a cooincidence...
+1Lovin the design! This would be awesome for a Microfighter design!
+1Love you plane design! Especially the attention to detail on soviet-style details like the position of flares, air-brakes, etc..
+1Keep it up!!
Awesome design! I love it!
+1Personally I'd give it a lighter loadout to meet realistic requirements, but other than that, it's fantastic!
Would love to make a version / variant of this in the future...
@Otana That's ok :) It's not an easy design so I understand
+1I really like this design! Would be awesome to see an improved version down the line!
+1Diggin the eurofighter x grippen x j-10 vibe!

+1@9specter528 Pretty much...
+1@DanvillPH sadly it is not in my current plans.
+1Never thought I'd ever see a military grade flying pez dispensor xD
+1This should be integrated as an in-game part! Excellent work!!
+1@Suubk27 oh sorry my mistake! May I give this plane a camouflage paint job?
+1Very interesting design!! Handles pretty good too! Smooth flyer!
I really enjoy seeing your design turned to life in this game!
I personally would have gone with larger elevons at the back, but that's me...
+1Fantastic job! Especially the built pilot! Keep it up!!
+1Nice job! This plane is surprisingly tricky to build, even though it is very simple in design!

+1Very interesting design!! look oddly similar to.my Panavia Cyclone...
non the less, keep up the good work!
+1Gorgeous build!! Keep it up!!

+1@LieutenantSOT Would be nice to see! :)
+1Fascinating design! Reminds me a lot of the JF-17 and the F-4D Skyray (from the cockpit).
The inlet idea is pretty cool, but I feel that it would choke up on dusty runways and compressor stall on supersonic flight.
Non the less, I love the concept and the plane was fun to fly! Keep up the good work! :)
+1Awesome work on the model, The VTOL System does need a bit of work though.. Keep up the good work :)
