@ReinMcDeer
That actually makes a lot of sense!
@CallsignGizmo On PC, there is a keybind for trim auto-reset (set back to 0 with one key, by default it is numpad 4), but there is no such key for the VTOL slider.
Personally, I'd rather have the ability to reset the flaps with one key, so I set that to trim.
I don't understand why people use trim for flaps and VTOL for trim
@ReinMcDeer Could you one day remake this?
@TheRAF we say as we use it for target practice 😂
Don’t we all lol@ReinMcDeer
@UnspankleSP Pfft I wish I had the Phantom in WT.
war thunder vibes
A new plane on your profile picture
What about a B52
This is one of the best phantoms out there the shape looks so accurate to the real one! Have you ever looked at adding aircraft registration? It would really make this phantom unique
Very nice Phantom .
I am a phan of this plane
Phabulous! Handling is not exaggerated too which is nice, good job!
@AvalonIndustries USN F-4J is just right as well
.
Navy high-viz paint scheme helped
@ReinMcDeer nice
@AvalonIndustries Yeah, I noticed :D
Although I think Andrew picked it because it was the first thing that came up
@ReinMcDeer dude, your plane got into the trailer!!!
