CREDITS

All credit goes to GuyFolk for their F-22A Raptor. I just gave it a Japanese livery and tweaked with the missile codeing to allow the weapon bays to auto-open when you're locked onto a target

The Raptor

The Lockheed Martin/Boeing F-22 Raptor is an American twin-engine all-weather stealth fighter aircraft developed and produced for the United States Air Force. As a product of the USAF's Advanced Tactical Fighter program the aircraft was designed as an air superiority fighter, but also incorporates ground attack, electronic warfare, and signals intelligence capabilities. The prime contractor, Lockheed Martin, built most of the F-22's airframe and weapons systems and conducted final assembly, while program partner Boeing provided the wings, aft fuselage, avionics integration, and training systems.

The F-22 descended from the Lockheed YF-22 and first flew in 1997, and was variously designated F-22 and F/A-22 before it formally entered service in December 2005 as the F-22A. Although the USAF had originally planned to buy a total of 750 ATFs and later scaled down to 381, the program was cut to 195 aircraft — 187 of them operational models — in 2009 due to political opposition from high costs, a lack of air-to-air missions at the time of production, and the development of the more affordable and versatile F-35. The last aircraft was delivered in 2012.

After a protracted development and initial operational difficulties, the F-22 became a critical component of the USAF's tactical airpower for air-to-air missions against peer adversaries. While designed for counter-air operations, the aircraft has also performed strike and electronic support missions in the Middle East against the Islamic State and Assad-aligned forces. The F-22 will remain a cornerstone of the USAF's fighter fleet until its succession by the crewed Next Generation Air Dominance fighter.

No F-22s For You

Japan had a strong interest in buying the F-22 to strengthen their defense force but due to the classified technology and the fear of the aircraft potentially falling into the wrong hands, Congress passed the Obey Amendment that forbids the sale of the F-22

CONTROLS

AG1: Supermaneuvrability mode. (Disable aoa limiter to be able to do PSM. This AG also enable differential thrust to help in yaw axis.)
AG2: Enable roll control for thrust vectoring control. (I don't know if Raptor have this so this feature is just mainly for fun.)
AG3: Arm missiles.
AG5: Open canopy.
AG6: Disable integral function. (May or may not reduce shaking by disabling auto-trim.)
AG7: Activate this AG to disable wing flutter effect. (Will definitely reduce shaking)
AG8: Toggle lights.
