Nachtfalke (v1.0)

10.3k VisionAviation  3.7 years ago

The Nachtfalke is a fictive, WW2 styled jet-bomber, with some inspiration from the Heinkel He 111 and the Messerschmitt Me 262 for the Jumo styled jet engines.

This is also the first plane that I made with a "functional" cockpit. I only had space to fit in one gauge on the panel but whatever, who needs gauges anyway amirite?
It also has throttle handles, a gear lever, a yoke, rudder pedals and a flaps lever, all working.

The attitude gauge was made by ChiChiWerx

This version is equipped with 4 x Boom 50, 6 AG unguided rockets and 2x 20mm cannons.

Activation 1: Drop the 4 Boom 50's over 1.2 seconds
Activation 7: Landing lights
Activation 8: All other lights

Trim: elevator trim...
VTOL for flaps.
(The flaps lever in the cockpit moves correctly but the actual flaps can move up as well as I just used the VTOL control surfaces. So bear in mind not to retract the flaps more than VTOL center)

Just like any WW2 era jet, fuel consumption is a bitch and it's not actually that fast..

Have fun!
