@ChiChiWerx oh, ok, I just wanted to keep engine power realistic xdd.
@marcox43 it maneuvers like an F-104...doesn’t turn that well, but goes like lightning! That’s why I would suggest you increase the engine power (if you can).
@ChiChiWerx good, then maybe I'll release it in the weekend(been piling dust in the designer for months xdd) this one did not have such good performance, as I wanted AI to fly smoothly, as it was an interceptor, not a dogfighter xdd.
@marcox43 I’ve been playing around with this build. It actually flies descently—difficult for an F-104 replica. I was able to make a few tweaks on my own...moving the wings a little more rearward, working the angle of the rear fuse and tail. I was also able to add a lot more fuel with the wings further back. It could use a little more power...XML the engine for 1.5 - 2x power should give it more realistic performance (1000 mph at sea level, 1,600-ish at 30-40,000’). This would also look great with some custom gear, but understand you want to keep it simple. But to answer your question: Yes, I think you should release the version with the tip tanks.
@ChiChiWerx thank you! btw, should I release the version with fuel tanks?
Np! @marcox43
@TTHHSSSS thank you very much!
@marcox43 no problem!
