A-10 Thunderbolt II (unmodded finished)

1,244 WhippedCreamKing  8.8 years ago

So until I become skilled enough to do the USAF logos and find someone to mod the landing gear this shall be my final iteration of the A-10. More aesthetic corrections have been made to this version and yaw trim has also been added as it is now neccessary since the plane is no longer symmetric, just as it should be. The following instructions are VERY IMPORTANT for flight. 1st ensure AG 8 is active, then put the VTOL slider full up. Next deactivate AG 8 and activate AG 7 and place the VTOL slider in between the center and the first upper notch. Then deactivate AG 7 and throttle up to 100%. At some point you will notice the plane starting to veer left, this is when you must reactivate AG 8. This should re-straighten the plane without having to move the VTOL slider from where it was when dealing with AG 7. After the plane has straightened out deactivate AG 8 for the rest of your flight, as it will no longer be necessary. Hope you were able to understand all of that, enjoy!

    @Meawk yeah, thanks to you and @KingDeadshot and @yourbrother and several others, but i've been working on this plane for so long that now I've no idea what to start on next. And maybe I'll learn not to post things until i'm 100% certain it will be the last iteration.

    @Meawk I know how you said the last one was your second favorite A-10 on SP, but I hope that this might change that. Also, would you mind telling me who built your favorite? Thanks.

    Thank you @KingDeadshot I added 13 parts that were necessary to make it look like this and trying to figure out the placement, size, and look of the underbody wings that i had never noticed before because there are very few pictures that show them at all, let alone clearly, took me about an hour worth of research and adjustment. Also made an attempt to correctly space the pylons rather than just carelessly placing the correct number. Thanks again for your support.

    @KingDeadshot just wanted to let you know that I have improved upon my A-10, knowing how much you supported the previous one I'd really appreciate it if you'd have a look at this one as well. Thanks
