Hello there
This is my first post that I put some care into, I made this plane a year and a half ago inspired by Mirage 2000 and didn't touch it that much afterwards. I still fly it occasionaly it is fun to use. Please DO NOT expect a perfect looking aircraft as you can see the exterior is quite basic :) I tend to focus on the way it flies more.
If you get it real slow you can push around 35deg angle of attack. Makes it quite fun to dogfight, oh also it is naturally unstable so if you disable the fly-by-wire then you can have some real fun with it.
For takeoff I recommend setting 60% throttle and full backstick at 150kts. It is a bit hard to rotate so if you go full afterburner you will rotate a lot faster, not really realistic.
Controls
Activate1: Airbrakes
Activate3: HUD screen change (best is the 2nd screen to see alpha and beta)
Activate8: Disabling it enables manual control, no fly-by-wire
Special thanks to all the mod makers, they make the game so much better!

@moistcottonbud bien ça craint.
and yes i'd really like that
@AzureCorp c'est la vie :D
On a more serious note I'm planning on trying to share stuff like the AoA index that doesn't require mods but still quite functional and interesting. For example I have a previous post with a code for PID controller that sets your flight envelope, you might find it interesting.
@moistcottonbud Ah, ok. That makes sense. But, many mobile users cant use your planes then.
@AzureCorp thank you, I don't enjoy the vanilla wing physics. SimpleWings mod gives me much more control on the flight characteristics of an aircraft
You are on a great road. Maybe use stock parts. But, if anything, you have great potential.
