hello, today i gladly present to you, the ZCF025, a 1st generation jet fighter, based on the me262, i again did a cockpit on this airplane, with gunsight, throttle lever, VTOL lever, control stick and a red lamp who lits up when the landing gear is retracted, to takeoff you only need to push throttle to maximum and use rudder to keep the airplane straight, thanks to engine and center of mass positioning, the airplane will pull up automatically and then nose down a little, you'll mostly end on a 8-12 degree climb, without touching any control besides throttle, landing gear and rudder! the 4 30mm cannons have a really big punch and are really precise, but have a low rate of fire and ammo, each cannon fires at 3 rounds/sec, the 2 outer ones have 50 rounds each, the other 2 inner ones have 60 rounds each, activation groups are as following: ag1=landing parachute (not really needed to land, but good if you overshoot) and ag8 disables guns and gunsight, VTOL moves the flaps and changes the stabilizer's angle of attack for landing(DONT USE FLAPS FOR TAKEOFF). max speed is around 550m ph, might be 570-600 if you climb, but below 9000 you will mostly be on 500-520mph,
EDIT: with some struggle and by increasing parachute size to 200%, you can operate from any carrier in the game, uss beast, uss tiny and uss tiny 2, the parachute is inside the tail, close to the stabilizers if you want to do some changes on it

to land on a carrier, you need to keep the engine at 18% and move vtol all the way down, deploy landing gear and get on glideslope to the carrier, when you are a few meters away from the deck, press 1 for parachute and keep brakes pressed, on uss beast you will mostly going to stop on the half of the deck or less, on uss tiny 1 and 2 you will get really close to falling from the ship
.
to do a normal landing, just repeat the pocedure, but instead of deploying parachutes, just drop engine power
