• The "B-189 Crimson Finch-S" also called the "Super Finch" redesign of the prototype bomber B-187 Crimson Finch.

Note: Apparently when downloaded on PC the landing gear colour for trim 1 changes to red. You can repaint this with grey (third colour from the top left).

Like the prototype, this model is heavily fitted with armament capable of air-to-ground attack runs, while also boasting several new design features, as well as offensive and defensive capabilities.

New Features:

• Structural and interior redesign.
• Larger vertical stabilizers.
• Coded Canards.
• More efficient airbrake functionality.
• Larger wing area.
• Slightly more powerful engine. Max speed of up to mach 1.2 (889 mph/1431kph).
• Landing gear is now turnable.
• Countermeasures.
• Slightly less maneuverable, but now has the ability to defend against airborne enemy targets.
• Additional weapon bays, bombs, guns and missiles to improve offensive and defensive capabilities.
• Equipped with a canon on the underside of the nose.

Additional changes:

• Activation group 8 (off) turns on the main engine. Activation group 8 (on) taxi mode.

All engines now have a limiter:
° Main engine - Automatically turns off up to 889 mph and will switch between on/off to maintain said speed. [Reverse thrust - 15 mph]

° Taxi mode - Engine automatically turns off above 15 mph; Aircraft tends to tilt when turning at higher speeds.

• Cockpit (camera 1) now features an accurate display showing aircraft altitude, speed, and roll angle.

• Implemented altitude indication system. [Altitude above ground level]
° Green = Below 1500 ft (457 meters)
° Orange = Below 750 ft (229 meters)
° Red = Below 250 ft (76 meters)

• Cockpit (camera 2) now features a dedicated display showing similar flight data to cockpit (camera 1) as well as the latitudinal and longitudinal position of the aircraft, target distance, name of selected weapon, multiple buttons for cycling and selecting targets and targeting modes, cycling and firing weapons, weapon bays and trim controls.
