(Custom) RF-36 Condor

879 MausTrap1946  4.2 years ago

Le generic 5th gen fighter has arrived. It looks like a really short J-20, however it flies also exaclty like a short J-20.

In the 2000's, the air force needed a new fighter aircraft to replace its rapidly aging and costly 4th generation. Thus, an air defense 5th generation fighter was created under the designation XRF-36. It first flew on August 24th, 2008 and testing lasted until late 2011. It was awarded a contract for over 500 RF-36A aircraft and was given the name “condor”m and was later redesigned RFA-36. It proved itself in combat exercises to be very nimble and remarkably fast, however quick to bleed energy due to its delta wings, weight and thrust vectoring. However, one of its greatest advantages is its light and powerful missile armament and avionics. It has only seen combat in light skirmishes, where it easily defeated more dated opponents. They are planned to be in service well into the 2070s

WARNING: as always I suck at building and high realism settings make this explode after 2 seconds. I also encountered issues involving more unexpected combustion when going over 900kmh, I think I fixed it but let me know if they still exist. When making sudden turns at low speed, it tends to enter a vertical spin, make sure to counteract this or the plane might spin so hard it explodes. Lastly, the throttle might not move in the cockpit, and if so check the part attachments for any parts being glued to the rest of the craft.

Thank you for downloading, or if you did not, reading this

EDIT: there is a mistake in the controls instruction. The object “G” is pertaining to the missile you select, not object “E”. I’m a dumb dumb and should have caught this
