Presenting the legendary soviet Widowmaker, painted in the Yugoslavian air force camouflage, bearing the numbers from the 204th Fighter Aviation Wing in Batajnica.
This is a plane of extraordinary capability, it will do anything you tell it to do. As such, PIO is very common in this plane. In the hands of a skilled pilot it can perform maneuvers such as a tailslide or a kulbit. In the hands of a rookie pilot however, it more than makes up for its nickname "The Widowmaker".
Its a simple aircraft, crude and non forgiving. It does not have any onboard systems to prevent you from departing flight, only a stick deflection limiter.
The brakes are rather weak, so deploying the drogue chute is more than recommended. Ag4
You can also toggle the lights using Ag8
Flaps are lowered by VTOL, and the Trim is operated by Trim.
(The trim is very weak on this aircraft, considering the immense low speed nose down movement, and the high speed nose up tendency.)
Flying this plane with a flightstick is highly recommended, as it will induce an almost DCS like experience.
Now get out there, and mind your fuel!

nice
@RandomUser09 u2
@Krmo I want to say have a nice day.
@RandomUser09 yes
Hello
Hello
@Krmo le mikoyan.
@Lanc

@EdamCheese6 np!
@Krmo Thanks! Might have to try that with one of my builds.
@EdamCheese6
also: you can look at this build. It kinda shows how its made.
https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/949aGq/Custom-AB
there are other inputs, some even have additional delays, but this is just the basic variant
@EdamCheese6 Custom afterburners. You add a normal engine, and then you add a VTOL engine with a nozzle near the normal engine. (the flame is produced by the VTOL)
The VTOL engine has an input of: Throttle > 0.95 ? (1) : 0
that way it activates only when throttle is above 95%.
@Krmo how did you go about having the engine flame appear a second after you throttle up? It looks really cool
The pitch on this thing is ridiculous tbh. Pitches up like crazy, but very slow down.
Other than that, managed to take a few good screenshots of it :)
Cool
Awesome!
@Krmo thanks, I appreciate that.
Ahhh 690 parts nice too see
anytime good sir @Krmo
@tucan thanks mate
incredible mate
@PAPAPIE bruh
Someone give this man a medal or something....he deserves it.
@edensk your comments are always very well structured and reasonable. Appreciate that very much.
let me guess, you made the CoM shift backwards depending on AoA, which is why it feels weird. Using the semi-symmetric wing for both wings and H. stabs works better and allows for high AoA too. side note: all MiG-29s except the M OVT can't go past 90 degrees AoA, so a kulbit is just uhh, yeah. Nice to see some funkyness, which despite being inaccurate, is more advanced than what I usually see.
I'm making the flight model for a friend's MiG-29UB, that's why I know this stuff.
Good build, has room for improvement, take a cookie
