@Majakalona I think that's your opportunity to make a trade.
Or get deported.
One of the two. Depends if Fred the CIA agent is feeling more imperialist or racist today.
@ColonelRelford Alternatively, you could have joined the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, waited for the collapse, and then stole everything.
Seemed like it worked for the oligarchs.
Looks good.
A few nitpicks, however:
-Paint goof: Shiny tires.
-Wish there was a way to turn off gyros.
-Curious where the HUD came from.
-You forgot to invert the flaps after mirroring. All they do is roll in one direction. Remember, fully-body mirroring is your enemy. It WILL mess things up.
-Some stability issues, but in complete honesty I have zero clue what you could do about that.
-Concerned by the small size of the engine intakes. Possibly flame-out risk?
-Air brake looks awkward not being flush with the body.
-Leg room is taken up by wheels, very uncomfortable.
-Need telepathy to retract landing gear, open canopy.
-Balance is rather heavily impacted by firing missiles. Perhaps consider flaps set to trim to counteract this? Never seen it done myself, so it'd be a new system as far as I've seen.
Other than that, shows promise. First Silver craft, no?
I'm wondering what the unit cost is. Some poking around with component prices leads me to suspect something in the ballpark of $7 million CAD per unit.
Going off some math I conveniently found, I reckon this thing would cost about $20k CAD per day. A fuel load will probably run us something under a grand.
That gun. Minigun? 7.62? How many rounds?
I've seen varying prices on those cheap Interceptor missiles, but a general trends seems to be about $300k a unit. Issue is, I hear the Eel Protectorate's getting a special deal from Graingy for about half that, so we'd best be stingy with the rockets.
Reminds me, what currency are we using?
Regardless of all that, I think this has a lot of promise still. Could definitely help us keep the skies clear while more numerous and cheaper aircraft can do their work. One benefit is the single crew member, which is only one salary as opposed to the dozens that a squadron of cheap fighters would need.
I am, however, concerned greatly by the potential to provoke a greater response from a certain Soian-owned enterprise. A few only will probably go ignored, though.
@ThatKindaWeeb Just saying.
Maybe not intentionally, but it's important to be aware that this kind of stuff does have consequences. I'm not like the French, but still, some definitions are important to not change too greatly.
@TheUltimatePlaneLover You can't lose a track to a land mine on most airplanes because most airplanes don't have tracks.
You seem to have "fixed" that.
Good job, hoser.
Written directly in XML, like Andrew intended.
+7Transmission is horrible in SP.
+4Its basically direct drive. Lots of speed, no torque to speak of.
Is… is that a ship????
+3Literally nobody said anything.
+3You might want to wait for someone to comment before doing your "gotcha" next time.
Hoser.
Moments later they were shredded by the propeller like the big guy in Indiana Jones
+3@Majakalona I think that's your opportunity to make a trade.
+2Or get deported.

@TheUltimatePlaneLover Do not the MiG-21
+2Your vocabulary.
+2“Info theft” sounded like espionage in this use.
Hm. That’s definitely a plane.
+2@TheMouse Yeah.
+2Seriously, zoom in. You can see a faint red waterline and even a little blue from a brief.
@Noname918181818181818181 @Speedhunter Get a room, you two.
+2Seriously you’ve completely clogged this place
Well, you aren't wrong.
+2I break the Platinum chain.
+2@Yish42 Yeah I'm with Grain on this one.
+2That explains so much.
Sir this is a SimplePlanes
+2@Majakalona I don't get it.
+2@Majakalona If it's taken from Grain Guy's 60kg pile of uranium 235 then I'm happy.
+2@ColonelRelford Alternatively, you could have joined the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, waited for the collapse, and then stole everything.
+2Seemed like it worked for the oligarchs.
Why is it glowing?
+2@Majakalona Bombs away.
+2Wasn’t this thing stolen?
+2I’m not entirely clear on what exactly that person stole and what they modified.
Looks good.

I'll be in contact.
+2The M2 medium called, it wants its machine guns back.
+2More like going off to war and finding out you've been cheated on.
+2A weapon to surpass Metal Gear
+2You see this sticker with the word “Gold” written on it?
+2That means the chunk of copper I slapped it on is real pure gold!
GOOD LORD that thing is long
+2The landing gear puts a Tu-95 to shame
Bloody Barbie doll, that thing is.
The inside of that jet better be E for Everyone, or I swear to all-!
+2@TheMouse It's Grain, isn't it?
+1@TheMouse Both.
+1Oh, wait, now I know who ComradeSandman is.
@SimpleStupid Calm down.
+1They are.
+1This is actually pretty funny
+1heh
+1@L1nus Well THAT is incriminating.
+1WOW.
@L1nus "banned shinygems first for reporting such an issue"
+1I'm sorry What?
A Lenin Roll?
+1Really?
The first one is good, however.
@TheMouse Never could've guessed.
+1I mean HOW it does that. Refresh rate? Other kinds of calculations? It's unclear.
Go on.
+1Eat it.
Espionage?
+1@Majakalona What?
+1@ThatKindaWeeb Just saying.
+1Maybe not intentionally, but it's important to be aware that this kind of stuff does have consequences. I'm not like the French, but still, some definitions are important to not change too greatly.
Tall MiG-29
+1@TheMouse Well, do tell me if you find any companies or organizations well-suited to the production of variable-pitch bronze marine ship propellers.
+1@TheMouse Those propellers look horrendously inefficient.
+1I'm hoping to secure a supply link for models much alike what the Fillets already use.
@Majakalona I would place doubts in the quality of anything sourced from places such as that.
+1@Majakalona Not the case, I'm afraid.
+1@Majakalona What do you want.
+1Modern geopolitics are quite something.
+1@TheUltimatePlaneLover You can't lose a track to a land mine on most airplanes because most airplanes don't have tracks.
+1You seem to have "fixed" that.
Good job, hoser.
