5,597 UltravioletBlood  20 hours ago

First of all, thank you all, your support is what helped me reach gold in a somewhat short period of time. To celebrate, i decided to finally make my first proper fictional jet.


Overview

The Solett So-31 Cyclops is an unusual plane. It combines a powerful radar and an advanced nose-mounted targeting system to coordinate air superiority fighters, provide data and assist in targeting. While it is designed to stay away from the battle (for instance, it does not even have cannons), the So-31 is quite maneuverable. It is equipped with a single afterburning turbofan engine (HE JS-300) and 4 long-range missiles. The missiles are designed to be used in tandem with the targeting system, so their own targeting angle is fairly small. The Cyclops can automatically maintain a perfectly straight flight path.


Instructions

AG1 - Open canopy
AG2 - Increase maximum deflection angle for control surfaces
AG3 - Enable auto-levelling
One of the cameras is the targeting system, use it to track enemies or lock missiles
