Auto Credit Based on Snargles's A-10C THUNDERBOLT II

Update Available!


Note: This aircraft was not designed by myself, I "just" added the Autopilot.



A-10C Thunderbolt II



Introduction
1. The Aircraft in Real Life (Reading is not neccessary)

The Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II is a single-seat, twin-turbofan, straight-wing, subsonic attack aircraft developed by Fairchild Republic for the United States Air Force (USAF). In service since 1977, it is named after the Republic P-47 Thunderbolt, but is commonly referred to as the "Warthog" or simply "Hog". The A-10 was designed to provide close air support (CAS) to ground troops by attacking enemy armored vehicles, tanks, and other ground forces; it is the only production-built aircraft designed solely for CAS to have served with the U.S. Air Force. Its secondary mission is to direct other aircraft in attacks on ground targets, a role called forward air controller (FAC)-airborne; aircraft used primarily in this role are designated OA-10.

    My first Simpleplanes upload! Because I am used to Vizzy (from JNO), it was a bit hard to get used to Funky Trees, that's why this Autopilot might not be the most advanced out there, but it gets the job done, mostly without issues. If I continue uploading simpleplanes crafts, I'll definitely come back to this!

    How do you add in-flight pictures? When uploading I can only select "take picture", and then I can only take pictures in the designer...

    Edit: Solved, I found a way
