Auto Credit Based on GhostHTX's X-32 Thrust Vectoring Demonstrator
This is a little thing Ive been playing with lately, after seeing a very interesting model by a contributor whose name currently escapes me ( please let me know if you are the one who built the very nice jet with the red stripe; you really do deserve credit for the idea behind this method of thrust vectoring).
This version vectors thrust in the roll axis too.
Nothing fancy here, as before; just take off and fly as normal. You can activate / deactivate the thrust vectoring assembly with activation group 1.
Note that you can trim pitch with VTOL and trim controls.
Have fun.

Very interesting concept. I started yesterday on a thrust vectoring aircraft of my own. Interested to see how the roll vectoring works when I get home.
