Thrust Vectoring Control — Model One

Description
A jet I made inspired by the real life F-15 STOL/MTD, probably also my best looking plane so far.
I tried to make the flight model on this more realistic than on my older jets, so you probably won't be able to do any 40g turns with it.

Notes
- Take-off is easier if you disable the TVC since you won't have to deal with tail strikes.
- I removed the roll functionality from the engines since it was basically useless.

Thanks, I'm glad y'all liked the plane.
Excellent work
I Made a verter versión of tour F-15MTD, i changed the flight modelo AND i add it fly by funky tree UwU
@temporaryplanetester interesting. Most of the planes I’ve made with TV become pretty near supermanuverable, particularly at low speeds with TV. Then again I like highly maneuverable planes in general so I keep my CoM closer to my CoL anyway lol.
@ZeroRaven87 The agility increase at higher speeds is very minor, something like 0.5–1 extra gs while turning.
You can only notice a difference above 300 knots if you climb really high up, like 40,000–60,000ft, where the control surfaces aren't as effective.
Gotta admit, it’s a nice aircraft, very well designed. Only thing is, I didn’t notice any improvement on maneuverability at higher speeds even with TV turned on. Checked my physics settings and they’re turned high.
Nice👍🏻
F-15S/MTD
F-15? looks like a not stealthy F-22 to me
VERY GOOOOODD IMPRESSIVE!

@IceCraftGaming I always end up forgetting something, at least this is an easy fix with the XML Update button.
@JesusChrist 💀
@JesusChrist true
And I just realized one of the lights was colored wrong. God damn it.
@IceCraftGaming Using reference images while building makes a big difference it seems.
Jesus Christ this plane looks amazing
