I haven't seen an aircraft as great as this one in at least a million years.

@IanTheCuberGamer sorry I forgot to reply.
You have to set the xml value "firing Delay" for the rockets at a small amount of time, like 0.2 s.
@Baldovino grazie mille! :)
How Do You Make The Rockets Fire In Salvos?
Wonderfull, great work.
Meraviglioso, gran bel lavoro.
Really good but I feel it needs some more details like insignias decals and stuff to make it more realistic
@ColonelStriker thank you very much sir!
@TheCrazietPlane we're dueling face to face.. 😂
@Shippy456 thank you 😀
Macchi saetta vs leonardo saetta

I like the look and clean lines a lot. Some nice features and obvious you did some good work here. Performance/flying characteristics pretty good...except for slight auto-roll that gets worse with speed. There are ways of correcting that, of course. Nice overall.
@rezaXXMT
1~ If you disassemble the whole engine section, you'll notice that there are both convention engines and a VTOL engine. The VTOL engine has the main characteristic of giving power "instantly", and in doing so it adds a realistic Afterburner effect.
2~ You have to change its values via xml modding, or just using the Colour Editor mod by setting both the values "s" and "m" to 1.
I hope I have been useful!
@MailboxIsMyGender not being a successor of the M.C.-200, no. I just liked the name because it fitted to the characteristics of the aircraft 😀
It has auto roll. Other than that it’s great aircraft. Might wanna fix that auto roll though.
Very awesome.
Nice
@EternalDarkness and look like mitsubishi F-1
@EternalDarkness and very very powerful..i looking for
Nice italian attacker..👌
This One Sparks Joy
@marcox43 thanks for making me notice it. If there's one thing I still need to figure out about SimplePlanes, it's how suspensions work
