Aviatrix North AV.31 Karvaly

6,934 CommanderIKEA  10 months ago

First of all i would like to give everyone a special thank you for getting me to 5k points, a Gold special build might be coming.

Lore:

The Aviatrix AV.31 Karvaly was made in the mid to late 1950s to compete for the Tactonian Air Superiority Fighter (TASF) contract which was meant to create a new era of fighter jets, agile and fast, cheap and reliable, the Karvaly could do it all.

With its single afterburning Attila TJ-4/B turbojet engine producing roughly 14320 lbf of thrust at full afterburner the plane rocketed to its top speed of mach 2.03 while carrying a hefty payload of missiles and/or air to ground ordinance.


Controls:

-Ag-1: Afterburner
-Ag-2: Missiles
-Ag-3: None
-Ag-4: Jettison missile pylons
-Ag-5: Unlock nose gear steering (Yaw)
-Ag-6: None
-Ag-7: None
-Ag-8: None
-VTOL: None
-Trim: Trim
-Brake: Brakes and Airbrake


Some neat features:

-Working control surfaces:

-Custom landing gear with gear bays


Screenshot Gallery:


Important notes:

-This plane was made for the WCU challenge and it is based on blueprints of the Mikoyan Ye-2 and is an in universe equal to the plane itself.

-Be careful on takeoff and landing as it likes to turn by itself.

-Elevators may be wobbling for some people? During testing some guys have experienced this issue and i do not know what caused it for them so just keep that in mind, regardless flight performance should be fine.

-The aircraft may be a bit heavy on performance.


That is about everything, if you enjoy the build please make sure to leave an upvote and feel free to let me know about any issues you experience with it, have a nice rest of your day.

    @Corn8 maybe its the collisions on it? i think i might have those turned off... worked fine when i tested them against ground targets but i guess aircraft are just built different.
