ViperWolf+ (auto aiming turrets)

Auto Credit Based on realSavageMan's Comanche RAH-66

One hell of a beast, the viperwolf is a Star Citizen style fighter capable of maneuvering beyond the aerodynamic envelope using an intertial control module, RCS thrusters, and thrust vectoring. Being a spacecraft, it has no landing gear(totally not just me being lazy), so uh, classic belly landing is the standard, pitch up and throttle to take off on the spot

AG-4 for air to air missiles, gun turrets are automatic, weapon's bay doors open automatically, credit to the commanche's creator for the basis of this craft, the cockpit interior is their own doing, the weapon's bay was modified by me.

    @JessaLeih Oh I see, thanks for the help! I'll look into it later.

    Also the inertial control is kinda complicated, but it involves having the rotators spinning permanently and having inputs that speed up or slow down their rotation, each rotator having a partner spinning opposite to it with the same inputs

    When it comes to thrust vectoring, it's best to use it to augment your aircraft's existing aerodynamic tendencies rather than to overpowered it. A v-tail nozzle arrangement can make a plane roll when you yaw with them during a high alpha turn, roll control isn't necessary when you're dogfighting an enemy at close range. If you noticed the new nozzles on the SU-57 you can see they're tilted in a flat vtail arrangement, what I mentioned above is the goal with those new 2D nozzles, they don't sacrifice yaw but remain stealthy.

    but yeah very cool also can you teach me how to do the inertia control? If you're willing at least. Also on the flip side the aircraft randomly does a slight pitch, roll, or yaw output randomly if I don't do anything, I haven't looked into it enough but from what I understand it looks like it happens when the plane is moving too fast or too slow.

    ok random thing but what you did with those thrusters, i kinda had the general idea of "I can have a yaw axis if I do a roll input with a V shaped TVC layout but how do I counterroll for just the yaw?" then gave up on it quickly, dont know why i didnt think of a second inverted pair to counteract it

    Dawg the missiles even orbit at the enemy plane and hit it that's cool

    This is the most OP plane i've ever seen in my Simpleplanes history. So fast. so cool and so strong. Beatiful work

    How in the heaven this plane kicked ass a lot!? I'm sure my F/A-40 or even F/A-41 can't budge against this!
