Hey everyone! Today I present my X-31, a replica of a thrust vectoring concept fighter. It can do some insane tricks, such as flipping in mid-air, turning 180 degrees on a dime, and hovering perfectly, just like the real one can. It is unlike any other plane you've flown! READ ENTIRE DESCRIPTION, IT HELPS
Features:
- Insane handling - STOL, hovers, flips, 180 turns, unlimited vertical climb
- Realistic scale and modeling
- realistic speed
- Moving thrust vector panels
- PURE AWESOMENESS
Controls:
AG1: Power level 1
AG2: Power level 2
AG3: Pitch Vectoring
AG4: Yaw Vectoring
AG5: Parachute
Tips:
- Power level 1 is the best for the thrust vectoring - power level two is too much!
- use a little trim, it helps
-
Enjoy!

where is vr version
Why thank you @Barrybee1234
You’re amazing
Yeah it’s uniquely manuverable! @Mustang51
This is amazing to fly in! It looks cool doing manoeuvres, especially when you add smoke coming from the wing tips
"Unlike any other planes you've flown" Well i've flown the SU-37 on the game before soooooo....yeah.
@TTHHSSSS Np!
Thanks! @dllama4
Thanks. Thrust vectoring was for aerobatics and post-stall maneuvering @CDRxavier
@TTHHSSSS
It flies fine, but as soon as you turn on the "thrust vectoring", it threatens to throw you out of the sky. 180 on a dime sounds good but will lead to stall and...burnt stuff.
Cool idea, although I have used something like that on my wingless flying machine.
Thanks :) @gestour
:D @Ihavenorealideawhatiamdoing
I tried, it’s so fun! @TTHHSSSS
Try the version with out the tail or just take the tail off. It becomes even more insane. It’s kinda like zero gravity. @Ihavenorealideawhatiamdoing
Thanks dude! @Ihavenorealideawhatiamdoing
So fun to fly!
Thanks! @sunnyskies
Yay! I'll follow you too @ShockRF
@TTHHSSSS Not a problem) I am following you!
Oh, good to know! Thanks! @ShockRF
Very nice. But, btw, it is NOT a fighter concept. Yes, it beats a Su-35 (But not PAK FA) in a maneuverability (for USA it is REALLY good). But it does not have any radars and weapons and has not fuel enough for combat missions. And putting all this into an X-31 will turn its agility into a zero.
Thanks so much! Thought you'd be proud :) @RedBeard66
@TTHHSSSS lol that thrust vectoring is wild! nice job, thats a fun ride!
This is my latest! I've taken a lot of inspiration from you. @redbeard66
Thanks! Yeah, its too bad @ThePrototype
