Sukhoi Su-33 Flanker-D
A large carrier-based fighter derived from the Su-27 that was designed for operation on aircraft carriers. Its canard arrangement makes it a top-class craft that is reliable and stable at low-to-mid speeds.

About:
The Sukhoi Su-33 Flanker-D is an all-weather carrier-based twin-engine air superiority fighter designed by Sukhoi and manufactured by Komsomolsk-on-Amur Aircraft Production Association, derived from the Su-27 and initially known as the Su-27K. Compared with the Su-27, the Su-33 has a strengthened undercarriage and structure, folding wings and stabilators, all for carrier operations. The Su-33 has canards and its wings are larger than the Su-27 for increased lift. The Su-33 has upgraded engines and a twin nose wheel, and is air refuelable.
First used in operations in 1995 aboard the carrier Admiral Kuznetsov, the fighter officially entered service in August 1998, by which time the designation "Su-33" was used. Following the break-up of the Soviet Union and the subsequent downsizing of the Russian Navy, only 24 aircraft were produced.
Features:
•Some visual changes and remastering, with camouflage and decals (To be honest actually, making it's camo skin was a hellish nightmare).
•"Almost' accurate cockpit and interior (Yeah i tried my best).
•Changed the landing gear into the default stock landing gear (the reason why i replace the landing gear because the original custom made landing gear makes the plane control becoming wonky, and almost impossible to land).

•Working HUD.
•Brake no longer needed activation group.
•Added refuel probe.

Additional Description:
PSM Control:
Post Stall Maneuvers can be initiated by slowing the aircraft down to around 200 mph or lower by holding brakes [B]. After the speed reach 200 mph or below, press pitch up [S] followed by throttle [LShift]. Make sure the PSM mode [AG4] is activated.
Bugs/glitches:
•The CTM (Cycle Targetting Mode) button will displayed as AOA Limiter because i forgot to rename the tooltip. It's literally a copy from AOA Limiter button.
