F-1990 “Starfury”

26.7k MakotoIto  3.8 years ago

Background

Crossfire is proud to introduce the new semi-stealth fighter, the Starfury, as a high capability fighter aircraft. It will serve in the air forces of the United Kingdom of Aragon, with an estimated service life of 50 years, before a replacement is created for the next generation of fighters.

The aircraft was first introduced in 1990, and produced from 1996-2013, with a total of 250 aircraft built for domestic defense. Many more were built for export to friendly nations. There are a total of 10 Aragonian squadrons, with three squadrons in most regions, and four in the capitol region of the nation.

Contributors

@ThatAsian667 tested, and helped with the overall aircraft design
@HalfACupOfRice gave good criticism on the design (I originally went with a plain delta)
@Julesonaut for saying he likes it

Controls

  • Down VTOL for airbrake
  • lower throttle to 5-8% to land, and do it softly.
  • Take off with lower power (~33%), not with full power.
    AG1 for forward gear control
    AG2 to drop external pylons
    AG3 for air refuel opening

A bunch of thingies

  • The turnspeed at 3330 meters is roughly realistic
  • Throttling properly helps with performing well
  • A relatively light armament
  • Custom gear
  • Add-on missiles that don't come on the production variant normally
  • Fixed a discolored light
  • Photos below are nice


Aircraft has a lot of moving parts, even below 1000 parts

    @SuperStriker33 Thank you! There is actually a mod you can use to take screenshots in the game, but for this one i screenshotted my screen, edited it in an external program, then used the newer blueprints function to create a custom thumbnail. It even works on mobile!

    First of all I love the plane!!! Secondly, I have a question. I'm kind of nooby, so I was wondering how uploaded custom descriptions with pictures because it looks far more elegant than the traditional style.
