THE XP-55 ASCENDER, EVERYONE!

Yes, it's here! This WW2 american experimental fighter has been reborn in Simpleplanes.
(I was going to put some general info about it here, but if you really cared you'd have looked it up on wikipedia.)

ANYWAY: Here are the controls for the machine!

- Pitch, yaw and roll the same as any other aircraft.
- X and Z to control the nose landing gear.
- That's about it...

NOTE: Takeoff speed around 200 mph.
Did I mention it's built 99.8% in vanilla? Because it is! The 0.2% that's not is due to the engine being a little underpowered and me having to give it a little more oomph in the XML files.
If you like it, be sure to give me an upvote ;)

Aaaaaaand that's it really! Have fun with it!
