Auto Credit Based on Jundroo's P-51 Mustang

The first operational US fighter jet, the F-80 was pretty much an F-51 with a jet engine. Notice how this one has two smaller jets, whereas the real one had one big jet. I had to do that for the sake of realistic handling; after all, this is the realism series, not the good looks series! By the way, limit engine power to 60% for realistic thrust/weight ratio.

    ...and look at that; screwed up the nose gear. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to realign it, so go do your thing, people.
