Hello there!

It's been over a year since I last posted and I'm gonna be honest here, I forgot how to do descriptions like I used to...

But anyway here's a plane I've had in limbo for over a year now.

A stealth Berkut

Overview

The Sukhoi Su-97 (Russian: Serebryanaya Sova T-87S; NATO reporting name: Franchise) is a Soviet-origin twin-engine supersonic supermaneuverable stealth fighter aircraft designed by Sukhoi. It was intended as a direct competitor for US fifth-generation jet fighters, particularly the F-22. The Su-97 was designed for air dominance missions, and subsequent variants are able to perform almost all aerial warfare operations.

Features

Countermeasure hatch

Gun Bay

'Functional' infrared Radar

Side and bottom weapons bays

Semi-realistic Ordnance

Dogfighting camera

Refuel Probe

High AoA mode or controlled super-maneuverability

Accurate lead indicator on the HUD(that thingy that tells you where to fire to hit a target)

Ejection seat

Modelled thrust vectoring nozzles that move and look realistic (in my opinion anyway)

Looks cool

Other stuff I probably forgot about

Also while not really a feature, the afterburning exhaust is more colour accurate and along with other details like snaking intakes and stuff.

Instructions

They are all in the game, check "craft instructions".
But just incase you were wondering, AG-4 will let you do all the crazy post stall maneuvers you want, AG-5 is best for dogfighting and situations that need max agility and control and AG-8 is the toggle for thrust vector control.

Also, Take-off speed is 170-200 mph without flaps and ailerons (VTOL fully down)

Stuff to note

-I was gonna make a Archange livery too but eh... Too lazy, plus it's been a year since I started building this so I'm not about to spend another two or three months making a livery due to lack of time.

-This was to be the basis where I'd test out "Pitch strafing" basically changing altitude without changing pitch angle, it was supposed to come with that feature but I think I'll release a version that can do so later along the line.

-The cockpit camera can be janky at times.

-If your on mobile then it's recommended you use medium physics and above, low can still work but you may notice problems with the landing gears and canopy.

-I was originally going for pure realism when it came to the handling, but after some advice from 32, I decided to have a balance between realism and fun.

-My first non mobile friendly build.

-If there are any problems, please let me know.
