    Can I use your back landing gear? I can't make a proper landing gear for my upcoming tu-22m because I'm only using IOS.

    @F104Deathtrap Jr. - Thanks! I really liked what you did with your Foxbat, so I thought I would try that on my Tu-22m. I just used the Fine Tuner and roughly moved them to where they should be. I went back on a second pass and and fixed them up. Mirroring them was not hard but took awhile. I was too lazy to make them move so I made Sr. do that XD

    @WalrusAircraft I see you made your own exhaust nozzles! I tried that on my Foxbat back before I learned about modding tools, had to type the whole thing out in notepad to xml rotate all the parts, it took FOREVER. You really put a lot of time into this thing, huh?

    @WalrusAircraft I love Clancy's style. It's easy for me to picture whats going on. Plus, the characters are always well planned and realistic

    @ChiChiWerx - Walrus Sr. here. Actually, there is one VTOL jet for power partType="Engine-Jet-5" with powerMultiplier="20" The other engines are there for sound. When you add more at lower power, you get tremendous roar. Jr. pointed this out to me. Most people think it is a waste, but if you want large jet sound, you need multiple engines, and the Backfire is a loud aircraft. Note that the smaller engines have powerMultiplier="0.1"

    Cool, thanks. So you're using extra VTOL engines to get the power boost and the XML modded exhaust nozzles to get the large plumes, thanks!

    @ChiChiWerx - EngineThrustPort.State exhaustScale="3.2,3.2,3.2" exhaustStartColorOverridePrimary="435EA1FF" Note that I had four thrust ports (two on each side), since I wanted to have two colors, but ended up with the same color.

    @ChiChiWerx Jr. here. I used VTOL engines and scaled the nozzles up to get the size. I then (With some help) found a HTML color picker and found an picture with the afterburner on. There should be a slot for the color code in the XML. (On the nozzle, or "Thrust port" I think.)

    Quick question: How do you do the "afterburner" setting? Well, not how do you activate it...how do you build it?
