XFA-27 Scarface (Xml Modded)

3,040 TheStapler  8.8 years ago

An improvement on my XFA27 featuring xml mods and tweaks, including:

+ Combined all-moving elevator/aileron canards (elevonards?) courtesy of @Baldovino
+ Combined ruddervators
+ Unlimited/massive fuel supply courtesy of @StogiepatrickMC
+ More powerful engines (but not enough to ruin the low speed control)
+ Improvement to pitch (use vtol slider to move wings back as the nose comes up at high speed
+ Improvement to CoM for more forgiving stalls at 90kts
+ Airbrakes hidden in jet eng gine vector nozzles courtesy of someone (I can't remember I downloaded them ages ago, if they're yours let me know)
+ Tidied up area around cockpit
+ Shiny paint

This is the XFA23 Scarface, featured in Ace Combat. I went for Agility over speed with this, but kept it controllable enough for combat flying. Comes with air to air missiles and a nose gun as standard but feel free to replace the weapons.

    @ironfondue that's how the nose is on the real(virtual) plane, kinda chisel nosed. Yeah just used text editor and a pen and paper to note down positions and part names

    Looks great, exept that weird pointy nose, but cant wait to try it out... Do you edit the xml file just with a text editor?
