RETROFITTED_VERSION

I am in the process of ‘retrofitting’ my builds, this will hopefully sort out the auto roll and bring my other builds up to date. 

I wanted to make this as low parts as I could whilst still having functionality in the build.

I hope you enjoy :)

AI version (163 parts) - Pilot bails out when downed.
(quite proud of the AI bailout feature)

Kamikaze version (178 parts)

US Captured version (177 parts)

I modelled this as accurate to the real thing as I could...
...looks like I have some retrofitting to do lol
————————Controls——————————
AG1
Jettison external fuel tank. (87 gallons)

AG3
Activate cannons - much have AG7 activated too.

AG4
Override wing tips to the down position.

AG5
Lower arresting hook. (55 degrees)

AG6
Bailout (bailout above 425ft AGL and IAS < 356mph), parachute opens ~ 0.5 seconds later).

AG7
Aim guns (looks through sights + activates nose MGs).

AG8
Lock tail wheel rotation/turning.

VTOL (down)
Flaps control.

VTOL (up - past the first notch)
Activate War Emergency Power (WEP)

yes, this aircraft has WEP :)

(Normal controls; roll = roll, etc.)

---

For the best take off I find 30% throttle and full flaps down the most ‘cinematic’...

(For realistic ~>90m take off do 100% Throttle + 75% Flaps + Full Nose-up)

Landings I do ~8% throttle, full flaps down and try to keep the nose just - and I mean very slightly - above level flight.

—————————Notes———————————

There are two red cockpit indication lights;

Left - Min altitude for bailout...
(light on + bail = Bye Bye Sky Samurai)
I made it so the pilot cannot bailout if the light is on.

Right - Activates when below 10% fuel.

/

When firing the guns the cockpit will shake to simulate recoil/vibrations from the weapons.

The guns themselves have realistic fire rates as well as impact forces and custom damage - calcs are bellow...

---

damage =

(weapon caliber)*3

impactForce =

[(weapon caliber)*(muzzle vel)] /400

---

• these are in no way realistic relative to the game, only a personal standard I hope to have in all my current and future builds.

/

Cockpit POV moves relative to force of manoeuvre (hopefully like on sim games)

/

Sluggishness at high speeds are modelled on the Pitch and Roll control surfaces. (Activation @ ~370mph)

By far my most complicated build in terms of getting the features right, I hope you enjoy! :)

Wow, that makes 3 of 3 on the front page! Honestly didn’t think any of my builds would get there.

Thank you to all who looked at, upvoted and spotlighted my builds!
