A very simple MiG-15…

Copied from Wikipedia:
The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15 (Russian: ??????-??????? ???-15; USAF/DoD designation: Type 14; NATO reporting name: Fagot) is a jet fighter aircraft developed by Mikoyan-Gurevich for the Soviet Union. The MiG-15 was one of the first successful jet fighters to incorporate swept wings to achieve high transonic speeds. In aerial combat during the Korean War, it outclassed straight-winged jet day fighters, which were largely relegated to ground-attack roles. In response to the MiG-15's appearance and in order to counter it, the United States Air Force rushed the North American F-86 Sabre to Korea.[1]

When refined into the more advanced MiG-17, the basic design would again surprise the West when it proved effective against supersonic fighters such as the Republic F-105 Thunderchief and McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II in the Vietnam War of the 1960s.

The MiG-15 is believed to have been one of the most produced jet aircraft with more than 13,000 manufactured.[2] The MiG-15 remains in service with the Korean People's Army Air Force as an advanced trainer.

—————————————————————————————————————

This Mig-15 is currently not armed with anything other than machine guns

Weapons:
1x gun (shoots red tracers at 10 rpm)
2x other guns (smaller guns shooting white tracer at 80 rpm)

Taxiing: taxi at 10-20 knots which should be enough, use yaw to turn

Takeoff: when taking off flaps should be halfway down and throttle at 100% you’re fast enough to rotate once the nose of the aircraft barely points up anymore. Takeoff speed is somewhere between 100-130 knots (The nose will point up a lot when static)

Landing: When landing flaps should either be fully down or a little more than halfway down. This aircraft is pretty bad at flaring so try to hit the ground with all wheels at the same time. As long as you don’t nosedive. Landing speed is no more than 100 knots. To prevent the plane from stalling land at 100-110 knots with flaps halfway down.

Controls

Yaw: rudder, front landing gear wheel
Roll: ailerons
Pitch: elevator
Trim: trim
Brake: air brake and wheel brakes
VTOL: flaps

Enjoy!
