Here she is!!
All I have left are some (a LOT) of details, and the cockpit!! (I likely will not be able to do much more detailing as I need some parts for the cockpit, and this is my entry to the VR challenge, which rudely has a max part count of 350, which is hard to reach for me now that I am trying to be a better builder)

Anyways, a forewarning. This is not like any jet aircraft you've flown before. For one, using my knowledge of aircraft, I have made the characteristics JUST like a jet. Slow acceleration, slow throttle response, and slow maneuverability. It also is just like the actual Skyray (as far as I've read on, anyways). It is very unstable and weird to control, but this is as stable as I could get it.
It is slow with full load, and can only reach a mere 250 to 300 knots at sea level, BUT, it can reach almost Mach 1 at altitude. It is really fast on roll and pretty slow on pitch (like the real Skyray), and the transition to retracting the gear causes a weird pitch-up response I haven't been able to buff out
.

YOUR TASK

Just tell me what you like, what you don't like, have fun with it, idk. Just mess with it lol

Anyways, sorry for the rant. Here are the controls:

VTOL Down is for wing folding
AG1 is nothing (will probably be canopy if I don't use variables)
AG2 is drop the rocket pods
AG3 is drop the drop tanks
AG5 is the auxiliary landing gear (use along with AG6 for carrier landings)
AG6 is the arresting hook (might modify it to be one piece with the hook sticking out the back so it works like the real one. It's a tad wonky rn, but carrier landings are realistic)
AG7 is for the formation lights
AG8 is for the navigation lights (I will be adding more nav lights once I find out where they are. The only ones I've found out about are the 4 formation lights, the wing-tip nav lights, and the one on top of the front area on the support for the canopy. Of course there are the 2 landing lights (one on right gear and one on the nose gear) and the carrier distance light on the nose)

Have fun!!
