Ghoul - Combat Jet Trainer

1,580 Pajamas720  3.6 years ago

Tired of supersonic aircraft with infinite energy retention and turn rate? If so, I have an aircraft for you. The Ghoul is heavily inspired by various cold war fighter jets, both in appearance and handling; dont expect it to do somersault after somersault or even sustain a vertical climb. On the contrary, the jet was designed with limited engine power to encourage pilots to learn energy saving/ gaining maneuvers. That is, yo-yo maneuvers, oblique turns, and overall not using up too much speed and altitude unnecesarily.

Controls:
AG1: arrest hook
AG2: Drop external fuel tank.

Notes: since engine power was reduced via xml, the TW ratio will appear twice as high as it actually is. it should be far below or just over 1.
