Behold, the father of all P-38 Lightnings! This is my first attempt at recreating an actual warbird into the game, as well as my first upload. The goal of this project was to create a realistic flight model and representation of the real aircraft without diving too much into smaller details. The build took approximately five hours to do, looking at pictures and specification sheets for reference. I even took into consideration fuel and weight distribution for accurate e estimates of weight and balance. This is as close as I could get to the actual aircraft designed by Kelly Johnson, tested in 1939. The original did not have any armament, and was built for USAAF flight testing purposes only. Don't mind the tail hitting the ground when it's spawned in, these planes weren't built to be dead-dropped a few feet! When you jump into the cockpit, be careful not to jerk the controls quickly or pull hard G's when flying over 350 mph; the aircraft MAY overstress and break apart, like the real deal. I dare you to see if you can. Also remember to trim down as you climb. Top speed of the actual aircraft was 413 mph at 20,000 ft.; see if you can beat the record!Enjoy!   less
