WARNING
Crazy Lixx – Silent Thunder must be played upon first flight. Aside from making it more fun to blow up stuff, it’s the song that primarily inspired me to make this plane - Hence the name.
The F-XIII is a fictional 5th generation air superiority fighter. But while primarily designed to attack air targets, it does have multirole capability. Also, this is probably the only aircraft on SimplePlanes to have a working APU. It doesn’t do much… just turns everything off when you turn it off. #makeAPUsgreatagain
Complete with 4 weapon bays, 2 for air to ground ordinance and 2 for ground to air… assuming you’re on the ground and somehow haven’t blown yourself up by launching the weapons inside.
Gun also has a neat little mechanical aspect to it too and constantly flags up damage messages when fired. But, don’t worry, the only thing being damaged is either the enemy aircraft or your sanity.
Also, the F-XIII is one of the few fighter jets with in-flight reverse thrust which is controlled via pitch input so you can pull off some cool moves before faceplanting into the nearest hillside. Said faceplanting can however be avoided by activating the 3D “thrust vectoring” which may or may not make your problems worse if you throw it around too much.
In all seriousness though, this is my favourite build that I’ve made. I has a lot, does a lot and does it in style, which is not something I wouldn't normally say about my builds. But I do feel like I went the extra mile with my building skills (or lack of) on this.

hey, i kinda need help. when i picthed the aircraft and rolls , its too agressive like i press D and the aircaft start doing barrel rolls and fall to the earth. i tried to shortned the control surfaces, narrowing the wing, anything i could possibly do
here is the plane: https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/X11j7O/YR-1-white-star

would you mind helping me out?
谢谢
oh wise Squirrel, what must one do to be as wise as you?
@Squirrel OK
@Destiny2020 because it's not a replica, I'm tempted to say no. However, if you replace the swastikas with an iron cross instead, you should be fine to upload it.
@Squirrel I want to know, I created a World War II background, but never appeared before. If there is a Nazi logo on it, will it be illegal
We need mods on iOS
@harits nope. The blueprint I used for the SU-57 is completely different to this one
just Awesome!
Oh, it doesn’t show for me on my phone for some reason @Squirrel
@Dinoairplanes I haven't got plans for a new one anytime soon. Lacking the motivation to get one finished. I made a few ones to test out some unity tools, but I never got them to a state where I could release them.
@Mmdben noice. Glad you're having fun throwing it around. I also appreciate the swag you added to the gif.
@CRJ900Pilot It still shows that message for me lol. I just hit F9 to make all the overlays disappear in the gifs.
@Shippy456 Thank you. I'm an aerospace engineer, so I like to keep my designs familiar and base them on stuff you find in the industry.
Great Work!
Kinda reminded me of "Fenrir" from the Ace Combat X Skies of Deception
Extremely sleek and smooth design. Classic while also original.
Here is a GIF explaining why this is my new favourite 3D thrust vectoring jet.
This is amazing! How did you get the gun to not show the “multiple parts damaged” message? I also love the control surface setup, might use a similar arrangement on my next fighter
Loved it every minute. I should try to make a fighter after I get this two month long truck project off my back
Cool , it's modurators night.
and #makeAPUgreatagain
@Squirrel When you create a new map?
@Squirrel Dang, you slapped all the legendary aircraft together
@TheLatentImage I'll be sure to let Alfred know how good the VTOL is next time I see him
