~~~~Hyper-Realistic Series~~~~
(Mobile devices will need to lower Physics Settings only)

VTOL Slider = Nose gear (slide down)
Group 1 & 2 = Kh-29l Kedge anti-ground missiles
Group 3 & 4 = R-60 Aphid anti-air missiles
Throttle Down/Brakes = Airbrakes

The Sukhoi Su-25, NATO designation: "Frogfoot”, is a single-seat, twin-engine jet aircraft developed in the Soviet Union by the Sukhoi Design Bureau. It was designed to provide close air support for the Soviet Ground Forces. This CAS aircraft is often described as being analogous to the American A-10, but the Frogfoot has matured into a more sophisticated warplane with multiple variants and offensive roles.

The wings have ten pylons (this replica has eight) for carrying a range of air-to-air and air-to-ground weapon systems selected for the mission. This rendition is outfitted with two Kh-29l “Kedge” air-to-ground missiles, two B-13L rocket pods, two R-60 “Aphid” air-to-air missiles, and two external fuel tanks. As a humbly named “flying tank”, the Su-25 can carry a wide variety of munitions to tailor it's armament to specific missions. Other features on this replica include an accurate canopy view, wing and tail decals, and fully customized airbrakes.

Well I'm back, and I'm coming out swinging. This is by far and large the most accurately detailed and time consuming (nearly 200 hours!!!) replica I have built to date. It was a royal pain to finish but I am happy with the end result. But because it is relies on extensive part-clipping and modded XML files, she can be a little fussy (and makes a very pretty mess when you crash). She flies superb but may wiggle a bit after performing exaggerated maneuvers.

I had to forgo rotator-based retractable landing gear because of some weird bug that causes the plane to lose thrust power while on the ground (the beta fixed this but it didn't cooperate with the part clipping used on the craft). So ground clearance is low and that makes landing challenging (but doable). I also had to remove some extra cosmetic detailing because it caused lag on mobile devices. She works at the highest graphics settings but the physics settings will need to be lowered on mobile devices!!

As a side note; in the haze of a drunken hour down in Mexico, I expertly and accidentally deleted my list of people’s plane recommendations off my iPad. I remembered most of them but I know I lost a couple. So if you could recommend any plane you'd like to see, I'll slap ‘em right on the list!

Enjoy!!!!!!
