[ ! ] Tip from BogdanX : Change front wing airfoils to semi-symmetric

SEMI-REPLICA: Creation hugely based off real-world version(s).

--- What do you do if you have a spare, decomissioned F-15RR sitting in your hangar collecting dust? Put it in a museum? Maybe. Or, you can upgrade it with this exclusive package by AMC! Featuring a three-stage "Carlton" Drive which is a more complicated and powerful version of the thrust drive of the Saturn XI, which is a simplified version of the alien thrust drive, and relive those moments! However, now outclassed by other craft like the Taipan, it is now a trainer aircraft. ---

(That's a long opening paragraph.)

The F-15RR-ST package, as mentioned earlier, is a decomissioned F-15RR (semi-fictional plane) upgraded with alien technology. It features an ultralight alloy and an improvised version of alien thrust drives. It uses special power cells co-produced by AMC, Alterra and NEVEC, that conveniently work with the alien thrust drive. This further saves weight by eliminating the heavy liquid fuel known as kerosene.

About the Carlton Drive:
The Carlton Drive was developed by Ms. Carlton, together with 43 (well, close) other researchers and scientists involved with the study of the alien ship crash. The propulsion drive, along with its fuel, was recovered and replicated in the AMC labs. This newer design is more compact and more stable. It now includes a computer-controlled multistage selector that works with the cockpit systems.

Controls:
Normal flight controls.
AG1 for VC Drive Boost Stage
AG2 for VC Drive Warp Stage
AG8 for lights
IMPORTANT: This design does not have RCNs and so cannot pitch at high altitudes in this simulation. I could not get them to work correctly. The Warp Stage does not work with this simulation either.

Added features:
- HUD module from the Skystalker UAV

    Love the AG-2 step
    Sends the craft into what I imagine space would look like if it was blue
    Deserves many upvotes ;)

    @BogdanX thanks!
    I did some post-testing and found out the agility is slightly better when pitching up and it wont flip when pitching down, plus its more stable with AG1 propulsion drive on :)
