Will be updating pretty much all of my crafts as much has changed over the past two years! Stay tuned! As always, I try to keep the flight models as realistic as possible without any gyros, hidden engines/wings, engine power multipliers, etc.
Simple, accurate, and intuitive build with full cockpit (credit to @PlanariaLab for the HUD element). Referenced dozens of pictures of the real cockpit to get as many elements as reasonably possible (and their respective size and position) incorporated here. Every activator has a corresponding element in the cockpit and the mapping is included in the craft instructions for future reference (below as well).
Activators:
1. extend/retract fuel probe
2. extend/retract arresting hook
4. jettison weapons
5. jettison central tank
6. fold/extend wings
7. open/close canopy
8. turn off/on external lights
VTOL: Flaps (central position for automatic flaps, 0 through -.5 is manual half flaps, -.5 through -1 is manual full flaps)

Thanks all- been a while for sure. Note- I updated the XML due to a little bug with the engine "rpm" gauge truncating out the % sign for the right engine.
