Saab JAS-36-2000 Eldkula

1,110 RondenKiagre  6.3 years ago

Improved model of my JAS-36-2000 with fancy new cockpit interior. Extensive use of body lift gives this some of the lowest wing loading you'll ever see on a supersonic, non-hacked aircraft (remains semi-controlable at speeds as low as 90 MPH). Controls are AG-1 for master arm, 2 for flares, 3 for chaff, 4 for engine, 5 to jettison drop tanks, 6 for navigantion lights, 7 for hazard lights, 8 for electrical power.

    @RamboJutter Yeah it does protrude a bit, I'm poking around with some ideas for how to fix that, but I don't have the software or know-how for XML modding, so it might be a while.

    @RondenKiagre I meant externally, have a look at the generated side view then compare that to other aircraft. I only tend to use a custom crafted cockpit to suit each build, if you can scale yours down you can place it in a better location maybe? It just seems a shame to spoil the looks for something so insignificant

    @RamboJutter what in particular do you think needs fixing, other than the floor thing, which if I put the cockpit module low enough that you can't see it, then the gunsights get horrifically missaligned, the nosecone looks like it's floating in midair, and forward visibility is heavily impaired. If you know of a good fit for those problems please let me know, cause it's pretty annoying to have half the cockpit hidden inside the fuselage.

    Looks cool but that cockpit needs some work
