The F-25 is a twin-engine jet fighter inspired by the F-22 Raptor, thus, most notably, it features thrust vectoring! This is a project I've been long working on, at this point I have probably polished it as far as I can. I was unable to get the decorative engine outlet to rotate along with the real engines' exhaust so far... Next step in development might gonna be actually hiding the ordnance in a weapons bay inside the hull. Anyways: enjoy!

Hey everyone, check out the latest version, the F-25C. This variant is very obsolete, that new one has much better maneuverability.
@Flyer24 btw I'm mobile
@Plooperman Oh also, hope the actual VTOL slider control is not working, as it isn't meant to... The VTOLs are meant to be controlled by pitch only. And uhh... Yea you might not be able to control it too well if your controls are the default keyboard controls. Buttons don't allow for precision in flight, which though is something I personally find very important in flight sims, so I use my custom mouse controls. But the best is to have a joystick.
@Flyer24 your welcome, I hope you can do what your trying to do,
@Ploooperman Yeah, but it's already better than it was when I was only using the VTOL nozzles... Now I have 4 engines actually, 2 main ones providing most of the thrust and the vtols giving smaller thrust to wherever it needs to be aimed at. Having only xml boosted vtol nozzles, when you overpulled at slow/moderate speed caused the aircraft to spin then get ripped apart by overstress. I'm not yet sure how to make this even better, but I'll keep testing. Thanks for the feedback!
The only problem is that it's quite hard to keep level and do tiny adjustments bc of those VTOL slider jets that are usually what help the plane go up and down, but the plane is awesome otherwise
@Ploooperman Haha yeah funny enough they do target them and not the plane XD
Well, use the countermeasures to escape missiles, the ejection seat is still great to save the pilot from wing fires that could cause the missiles to detonate - though you can save the plane in that case with AG5 that discards them all at once (sorry I didn't update the functions list earlier) or when you stall it out in an altitude way too low to recover, or get a critical damage, etc.
I like how you added the bail lol, like that's going to help in this game where the missiles would just hit the pilots, I really like this tho, its a great attention to detail
