Auto Credit Based on Onat67's COLD WAR CHALLENGE (teams version) [OPEN]
My second entry for the cold war challenge
Convair F-102 was a first operational supersonic interceptor of the US Air Force that was later developed into the F-106 Delta Dart. The first prototype took its maiden flight in 1953.
Specifications
Gross weight: 24,494 lb (11,110 kg)
Fuel capacity: 1,085 US gal (903 imp gal; 4,110 L)
Powerplant: 1 × Pratt & Whitney J57-P-25 afterburning turbojet engine, 11,700 lbf (52 kN) thrust dry, 17,000 lbf (76 kN) with afterburner
Maximum speed: Mach 1.25
Armament: 6 × AIM-4 Falcon air-to-air missiles
I also included some basic pitch stabilisation
Simpleplanes does not model delta wings particularly well, so i disabled the main wing physics and added 3 smaller functional wings inside each one

Scoring
(Pin this up)
1- Design: + 4 points (It's a good pea again but it looks like Mirage 3000 more than F-102.)
2- Movement Performance: +9 points (Accellerating very realisticly and also very stable.)
3- Weapons: +6 points (Ralistic default weapons.)
4- Post Content: +7 points (Only problem is shortness of text. Add control list and a longer description.)
5- Is it fun to play?: +6 points (Not bad.)
6- Replica: +10 points (Yes.)
7- Secret achievement: +10 points (Communist killer)
Total:
52 points
Clean thumbnail with no background interruptions, i really like it
Great replica with 91 parts.
Wow 🤩
@C47skytrain thanks a lot!
You seem like a very promising creator! Please keep building planes like this, so many jets on this platform have very unrealistic T/W ratios
@Limacopter thanks! The background is from the green screen mod:

Awesome! How do you make the background white?
