Auto Credit Based on Walvis's Remaster Challenge [CLOSED]

For Lithium Aerospace their collaborative project with CedCo was a nice breather after all of the military aircraft they developed. The goal - revamp one of CedCo's oldest but finest racing planes - the R - 17 Venom II.


Here's the original post


In game changes:
- AIRFOILS!!!
- Tandem cockpit
- More realistic engines (auto afterburner over 95% throttle)
- Redesigned airframe
- Other small details
- Updated to include my ILS in both cockpits!!!


This was the plane that inspired many of my creations, experiments and ideas even before I started uploading, to this day it holds a special place in my heart. I decided to give it tribute by upgrading it in this challenge.


Controls (also listed in aircraft instructions):
Pitch, Roll, Yaw, Throttle like normal

AG1 smoke (disable to jettison)
AG3 canopy
AG4 formation lights
AG5 speedbrakes
AG8 lights
VTOL flaps (they're stepped)

Cockpit / VR controls
button 1 on throttle lever for speedbrakes
pull throttle lever back for brakes
flaps buttons only work if VTOL >= 0 (i.e. flaps aren't being controlled by VTOL)
runway heading indicator (on the compass) adjusted by knob

Spotlights

    @FlyingPotato_131 Your ILS is the only one I've seen so far which supports any heading, and has a simple latitude and longitude input making it easy to add lots of mod airports (another one I've seen uses two latitudes and two longitudes for some reason).

    Dude! Yes! From the time the original was uploaded, I’ve used it! When the update hit i realized how outdated it was. Such a good place to remake
