Fixed! Working version is here: https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/5jk46J/Mirage-IIIc-Fixed
What was wrong:
1) The center of mass was behind the center of lift
2) The elevators worked in reverse, because of the way the game implements them
3) The pronounced nose down stance of the undercarriage and the location of the main wheels prevented takeoff
What I did:
1) Replaced single big engine at the back with two smaller engines located further forward, inside the fuselage.
2) Implemented elevons instead of separate elevators and ailerons
3) Relocated the main wheels further forward and scaled them down to give the plane a more horizontal attitude.
