FX-44U Shadow Knight
Description
So, again i decided to update this jet, i originally planned to make a xml update with small changes like adding tooltips to levers but it eventually got too different from the original. I also made some improvements to the plane's performance so if you compare the older versions to this one, you will probably notice a difference.

@IICXLVIICDLXXXIIIDCXLVII keep improving your skill, one day you will do better
@MAHADI Idk, it's basically just 3 fuselage tubes connected together since I didn't know how to make the transition from inlet to fuselage smooth. Doesn't look bad I guess but I didn't expect people to like it so much, especially since this is the 3rd version of the same plane.
@IICXLVIICDLXXXIIIDCXLVII it looks simple but cool and has a nice FT workaround
why won't people like it?
This is by far my most upvoted and downloaded plane, I wonder why everyone likes it so much.
good job nice plane
@Korzalerke alright, we have 2 pilots on hand to fly these units out.
signs contract
@Almost Just sign here hands over contract
@Korzalerke Maysia uses Mays, represented by M§.
1 M§= 10 USD.
We will pay 150,000 Mays for 2 units, and buy the rest at a later date.
@Almost Each unit is available for $750,000.
@Korzalerke Maysia would like to purchase 5 units for the Air defense force.
