Midas Touch - Vector thrust jet

8,578 Synthex4060  7.5 years ago

I think this one is self-descriptive. Could be seen as crossover between a MiG-19 and the Rockwell X-31.
Controls ;
-AG1 : Pitch vector thrust
-AG2 : Yaw vector thrust + Roll RCN
-AG3 : Emergency chute
-AG4 : Drop missiles
-AG7 : Additional lights

-It is possible to take-off with assisted pitching, but in that case be gentle.
-I recommand putting the throttle around 50% for vector thrust maneuvers.
-Be ready to compensate yaw movements with the roll controls.
-For landing, I recommand keeping it on to have enough pitch control but at no more than 8% thrust.
