AFX-13 Altair
FOREWORD:
This plane is a work of fiction only. This is one of my stealth fighter concepts that I really wanted to build a 3D model and making it fly. Was tryna build this for fun but I thought i might ought to share this to the simpleplanes community. I built this all by myself from scratch in 2 damn weeks. Hope ya'll like it.
MODS REQUIRED: Mechanical Instrumentation by Gestour
DESCRIPTION:
AFX-13 Altair is a single-seat, twin-engine, stealth tactical fighter. The aircraft was designed primarily as a long-ranged interceptor. It also has dogfight and ground attack capabilities. This aircraft is a fifth-generation fighter that has supercruise and supermaneuverability capabilities. The Altair has two empennage surfaces used for (pitch and roll as well as yaw stability at low speeds), retractable tricycle landing gear, delta wings, and canards. Flight control surfaces include flaps, ailerons, leading-edge flaps, and all-moving diagonal tails. Engines have pitch-axis thrust vectoring nozzles. Maximum speed is approximately at Maxh 1.9 at full load and Mach 3 with afterbyrners and retracted control surfaces.
FEATURES:
-Custom cockpit. Everything works if you have Mechanical Instrumentation mod by Gestour
-Working radar, Target Tracker 360, by BagelPlane (thanks man :)).
-Retracting control surfaces.
-Internal weapons bay.
-PAF Roundel (you guys can remove ot if you want.)
-Custom landing gears.
-Thrust vectoring.
-lil bit of funkytrees.
WEAPONS:
By default this plane carries 10 air-to-air missiles.
-4 short-ranged super maneuverable fox threes,
-4 medium-ranged fox ones
-2 long-ranged hypersonic fox threes.
CONTROLS!
-Normal flight controls.
-Weapons bay open automatically upon firing.
VTOL: Flaps
Trim: trim
AG1: Unlocks afterburners and tails and canards retract at approximately 2000km/h.*
AG2: Dogfight mode. Unrestricts control surface movements.*
AG3: When AG6 is active, open air-to-air refuelling hatch. When AG7 is active, open ground power hatches.
AG4: Activate gun.
AG5: Jettison external load.
AG6: Autopilot mode.
AG7: Takeoff/landing/ground mode. What this does is it turns the landing lights on and activates roll auto-stability to land easier. It also raises your seat in cockpit view for better visual on landing.
AG8: Day/Night mode. (Defaulted to night mode).
*It is advisable to turn off AG2 if AG1 is active and vice versa.
TAKEOFF/LANDING:
Activate AG7 for stability. While landing, approach the runway at 3 degrees glideslope and 3% throttle. Use flaps to adjust AOA. Approach the runway at 400km/h. Upon reaching the runway, reduce throttle to 0% and hit brakes until you're 350km/h. Try to land on rear wheels first. In SimplePlanes, you don't need to flare that much.
I can't post pictures since I've only 15 points so here's the link to the gallery if you guys want to check it out before downloading:

EDIT: Ok i feel pretty stupid right about now since the mod probably won't work once downloaded lol. I'll probably update this once i figure out how to make custom gauges.

@bacssss Did you ever figure out how to change the gauge writing?
I'm from philippines so I like the PAF Roundel
Amazing! The details and the design are just outstanding honestly.
Помоги пожалуйста обьясни как ты убирал утки на скорости примерно 2000 км / ч. *
