DO NOT DOWNLOAD!! Has some major issues which make it less than nice to fly. :(
I will be uploading a fixed version soon.
My apologies for the inconvenience.

EDIT: For those who have downloaded this version, a fix.
The nose section needs to be lightened by 200LBS. 250LBS will make it pitch up, which makes things interesting when activating the main engines.
Also an XML edit for the lower engine. Adjust power to 1.11

Another Fighter from the Freelancer Universe.

This is the Border Worlds Series Z "Sabre" (oops I spelled it wrong on the upload).
It is a VHF (Very Heavy Fighter) that can be used by anyone who can afford to buy it.

With a large powerplant, it can deliver a sustained burst of destructive firepower unlike other VHF of similar size.

You will note there is no landing gear.
This is due to not being able to find or fabricate a front landing gear that would not make it go out of control when taking off. Falling over sideways at speed is bad for aircraft. :P
Solution? VTOL.
Controls are as follows; AG1 to activate VTOL, thrust vectoring is disabled.
AG2 for main engines.

To take off: AG1 then full power.
Sabre will pitch downward, AG2 when you think you are high enough, be ready to stop the pitch up when activating. AG1 to kill the VTOL.

Also capable of water take off. I have not yet managed to land on land, water landings may be the only option.

Weapons Load out: In order to reflect the amount of firepower this ship has in Freelancer, the number of weapons is high for the size of the ship.

4 Miniguns, 2 Heavy Machine Guns, Upper turret with Minigun+Heavy Machine placed in the center.
Weapons placements are correct/close to actual positions.
6 Interceptor, 2 Guardian. Seems to be a standard load out.

NOTE I messed up. The added weight of the missiles altered the lift profile for the VTOL, despite making them light and I forgot to account for it before uploading.
Additional weight will need to be added to the rear to restore the VTOL lift profile.
More information, such as how much weight and where will be added here.

Sabre will stabilise at about 200 mph and be fully controllable at that point. Max speed is around 430 mph. Will fly slightly up if left alone at full speed.

Note that both engines actually function, they both balance each out.
Altering the thrust values on either one will produce either a downward pitch or an upward pitch.
Can be very tricky to balance the values to get it close to right.
