Player Controlled Maverick
I saw a very small plane so I decided to make something smaller. What's a small thing that flies well? A missile! Heres my simple player controlled replica of the AGM-65 Maverick. I think it goes quite a bit faster than the real one but it's fun to fly. You can fire the Rocket weapon to give it a nice smoke trail. I also stuffed ten Boom50s inside so you can be sure whatever you hit stays dead. Enjoy!
You need to take off from the air or you may risk unwanted explosions
To activate the smoke trail switch to the Air to Ground mode and fire the Rocket. The more you fire it, the thicker the smoke trail will be but be careful as too much smoke can also drag down the sim speed quite a bit.

@Planeboi947 Me and @Minecraftpoweer are already working on it. :)
@greasytortle ok make a model and make it no collision and then i will ad the moded missile
@Minecraftpoweer do you have steam? I think it would be easier to communicate there instead. I'm Greasy Tortle or greasytortle on steam with the same profile picture as here.
@Minecraftpoweer I think I'll have to make a new Maverick model alltogether as this one is smaller than the inferno missile. The inferno looks like it's based on the Hellfire missile which is 0.69m shorter than the AGM-65 Maverick
@greasytortle would you like me to use the missile i used in the video as it si modfied and has 360 lockrange 0 locktime and is betetr than any vanilla missile?
@Minecraftpoweer The Cleaver missile would have to be scaled down a bit to fit inside. Is there any way to disable the folding wings of the Cleaver?
@I guess take out the cockpit, engine, fuel tank, Boom50s and attach it to a Cleaver missile that flies maybe 50% faster?
@greasytortle so what is your plan?
@Minecraftpoweer Yeah this wasn't intended to be a subassembly. If I were to make this into a missile model I'd disable the control surfaces.
@greasytortle It is very good but because you have to Control it it will also make your plane roll etc. Also i thought that it would home in like the missile weapon ingame like this one i made for somebody : short video
@Minecraftpoweer
@Planeboi947 Yeah you have to take off from the air but once you're flying it's quite maneuverable.
