I finally gave it a name.

This is the BAE Whirlwind FGR.1 A fictional replacement for the SEPECAT Jaguar.

It is based heavily on the swing wing thing I uploaded yesterday, with some small improvements. Most notable are the up-rated engines, the addition of afterburners, the larger vertical stabs and the addition of under wing stores points.

She will break the sound barrier at sea level fully loaded.

The controls are as follows;

AG1 + VTOL up to lower landing flaps (VTOL back to neutral to raise flaps).
AG2 - Light the afterburners (available at all throttle positions)
AG3 - Turn on landing / nav lights
AG4 - not used
AG5 - Drop wing glove stores
AG6 - Drop under wing & outer ventral stores
AG7 - Drop external fuel tanks (inner ventral stores)
AG8 - Toggle variable geometry wing assembly

For take off, be careful about the swing to the right during the take off roll.
Also use the following procedure;

1 - deactivate AG8 (swing wing assembly)
2 - Activate AG2 (afterburner)
3 - Trim up 25%

Give full throttle and look out for the swing to the right during the take off roll (I have no idea why it has torque effects).

I also recommend that you remember to deactivate AG2 when cruising, otherwise you will use a LOT of fuel.

Oh, and there is a camera attached to each under wing stores point. to allow you to check the effect of your bombing runs.

Have fun.
