I've made another zero a while ago, I'm happy with the improvement (unfortunately, I have deleted it because it was terrible, so you cannot cringe with my old builds...)

There are quite a lot of mods required (simpleplanes have them listed automatically, neat!) and it has glass in it, so you have to be running the latest version of the game as well.
(I'm not the most active user, so I may have screwed up somewhere, so please forgive me in advance)
If the feedback is positive, maybe I'll make another one?

This plane features:
- Quite realistic manoeuvrability (based on youtube videos of simulated dogfights and stuff), as well as good low speed handling.
- "Realistic" range (with and without drop tank) (There's a detail here: As I plan to make more planes in the future, and range is a considerable factor in battle, I've tried to take this in consideration. I search for the airplane's range in miles, divide it by 50 to get a "reasonable" range in simpleplanes, using this map: https://imgur.com/7PVlCgg) If I follow this procedure to every aircraft I do, then the range will be a valuable thing, that you gotta take into consideration when fighting.
- Realistic empty and full weight (considering drop tanks as well, yeeting it away will cut your range, but increase performance)
- Realistic speed at sea level (I'll consider max speed at sea level for all my airplanes as well)

That's all folks, merry Christmas!
