A reskin of my RAF Typhoon, this time a little easier to fly, and a little lighter. Air to Air only weapons load. Apart from that it's exactly the same RE: activation groups and controls. I definitely prefer this paint scheme, even if it was an absolute pain to make. Enjoy
This is my first ever featured plane! Thanks to everyone that's up voted and spotlighted it, I do appreciate it :)

@Bi0H4z4rd it's because the nose wheel is so much longer than the rears. You've got to really flare a lot more than usual, almost like a taildragger. I would update and re-release this with upgrades, but I'm not updating simpleplanes until they bring back mod support. Most of my newer builds rely on fly by wire and other things the base game doesn't provide at the moment. My advice would be to flare, nudge the nose wheel up higher and maybe get some air brakes on. Can't believe I missed these simple things, but it was 3 years ago I made this.
Problem that is probably very easy to fix but no matter how hard or soft i land or what physics setting i have, once i touch down the plane bounces, back flips, and crashes. It is rather annoying
@Noman0rumeral hmm you're right, how strange. I found a similar problem with my draken, resulting in making a smaller wing at the rear for the elevators. This solved the problem. I'll be sure to fix this in another build
@TheStapler but i disabled the canards and it was reversed
Wow!
@TheStapler np
True thing about the Elevators ...in Canrad jets the tail Elevators should be inverted ...or there is no way to pitch up except for using 2 tailplanes ( rotating wings , like canrads) it will differ in how fast it will clim/do a loop but at least it will work like in SU-47
@JetFighter @MAHADI hey thanks :) this is my first ever featured plane too!
awesome...
noicely done!
Ookay, and i've already seen your F-5, it's cool! @TheStapler
@JoddyFubuki788 I'll take a look, I've got a Wardog F-5 and Razgriz F-20 built too
So far i love Galm/Mobius 1, Razgriz/Wardog, and more! I even can't wait for AC7, so if you check my FA-40E, there must be a refference i took from certain OADF's F-22A in AC7! @TheStapler
@JoddyFubuki788 me too! I've got a couple of other AC5/0 jets too, Indigo and Schwarze are my favourites so far!
As a big fan of ACZ, thanks a lot! @TheStapler
@Noman0rumeral nope, they're correct. If you imagine pitching down, the main wing needs to make more lift, as it's behind the centre of mass. This force, coupled with the elevators deflecting downwards, will rotate the aircraft about its lateral axis and give you nose down.
Its awesome but i found one problem, the rear elevons are inverted
@TheStapler browser issue maybe , thanks for suggestions :D
@MasterKiryu thanks, glad I could be of service!
first time that an Eurofighter looks good for me ^^ Well done :D
@FennVectorCWA hmm thats odd. I downloaded it to my phone to test and it works fine. Make sure you have the latest update?
@TheStapler mobile, same issue it appeared after the jet stream update ( wrong thumbnails of other creations)
@FennVectorCWA Really? That's strange, bet it still looks cool though! Are you on mobile or pc?
Lol there is an error showing a golden Eurofighter
@Himynameiswalrus haha thanks, I use it for just about everything, it's German for forklift :p
