ATF- 81A "Heron" SP NAVY

9,517 Pietro  3.0 years ago

Hello guys! This is my new fake F-18!

I've put a lot of time in this, so please read the description.

Guide

Firsrt of all, it's better to know that the airplane by itself is really unstable, as the Center Of Mass is really near the Center of Lift. Luckily, it's a problem for Funky Trees!
Talking about Funky Trees, in this aircraft they handle a lot of stuff:

  • For example, the travel of the control surfaces adjusts based on the speed of the airplane. This is to avoid rough movements that might make the flight tidious, furthermore, it is possible to regolate the sensibility of the plane through VTOL UP: this is to facilitate refuelling and landings.
  • Activating AG1 we remove the AOA limiter, partially turning off funky trees. Now the airplane is much less controllable, but you can perform high AOA maneuvers. Plus with AG1, the airbrakes that are on the front-dorsal part of the airplane will activate: Their purpose is to help these kind of maneuvers.
  • Activating AG2 the flaps will work autonomously: the slower you go, the lower they go, generating more lift.
  • Activating AG3 the airbrake on the back-dorsal part of the airplane will work autonomously. This is helpful for landings. The way it works is it brakes more the slower you go. I know this will induce stall but luckily someone put a stall indicator at the lower right of the HUD. Plus, there is also an AOA indicator in the lower left of HUD that activates when landing gears are down or when AOA limiter is dsabled.
  • Activating AG4 will drop the extern fuel tanks. Just in case you felt a little overweight after thanksgiving. Be aware tho that the airplane does use a lot of fuel. Luckily you can use AG5 to refuel.
  • I almost forgot: AG6 will extend arresting hook.
  • Last, if you want to look cooler in the sunset, you can use AG7 to turn on formation lights.
  • aaaaand... The password for the airplane is AG8.

The aircraft is equipped with the following armament:

  • 8 interceptors, for target in a range of 7 miles;
  • 2 guardian, for long range targets, their range starts from to 6.5 miles until 20, you need to maintain that look while the missile is in flight;
  • 2 infernos and one cleaver for ground targets. Be sure to be far from the cleaver when it explodes...maybe the explosion will be bigger than the standards...

This is all, if you want to make nice landings try to keep yourselves between 150mph and 190mph with the green light from the AOA indicator saying that you're a good pilot!

I greet you all asking to leave a feedback down here, so that i can make better stuff.

Post Credits Scene : incoming the ground attack version with a new livery.

    @Pietro yes it's the best but not look wise it looks too much paneled and not sleak one I tried to modify other good looking su57 by inserting his funky tree codes to the parts bit it's not working

    @Yojuta you should try the @GuyFolk ‘s su-57 it’s very cool.. honestly I'm not good at doing replicas, and I prefer to create fictional aircraft.
