Designed as a replacement for the aging F-15, The F/A-17 brings to the table increased speed and maneuverability. The Lynx comes equipped with thrust vectoring allowing it to pull off spectacular stunts at speeds under 600 MPH and to turn faster than seems possible. The Lynx can reach speeds upward of 1400 MPH at 15000+ ft.
WARNING: pitch is EXTREMELY responsive. Not for new flyers.
AG1: Parachutes
AG8: Thrust vectoring
This is still a work in progress. I'll be back with the final version, hopefully in a week or two, but taking 7 AP classes is tough. Feel free to mess around in the meantime!

@Kaos Then deactivate 8 if it's so hard to deal with. I intentionally designed it to be that maneuverable and there's really not a way to make it more "user friendly." It's not that hard to control once you learn it. Now, if you can create a jet with thrust vectoring that is just as maneuverable and doesn't pitch out of control because the phrase gentle isn't in the user's vocabulary, I will apologize and rescind my statement. But until then, I respectfully disagree with your statement
@Kaos Not it at all. Initially, that is what I thought was the case seeing as I had intentionally placed them close and it would have been a simple fix. However, they are in fact correctly placed. Theach pitch control is phenomenal and requires careful manipulation. Until you reach 700 MPH it's wise not to slam it back, but rather gently ease it so that it barely responds. Once you reach a safe altitude, try getting used to the controls and having fun (somersaults are particularly fun). Thank you for taking the time to point out an error you thought was there. I appreciate your doing so
