SimpleEagle
The SimpleEagle is a low parts replica of an F-15 Eagle fighter jet. It is armed with eight missiles with a very low lock time for effective dog fighting and beyond visual range fighting (1.5s for Guardian and 1s for Interceptor). The SimpleEagle isn't the most maneuverable plane, but can accelerate like crazy. Zoom and boom!
Weapons:
4x Interceptor AtoA missiles
4x Guardian AtoA missiles
1x minigun
Countermeasures
Controls:
1-3 - N/A
4 - drop center fuel tank
5 - drop wing fuel tanks
6 - drop Guardians
7 - drop Interceptors
8 - deactivate missiles
Trim adjusts flaps.
Tips: Drop the fuel tanks before trying to land. I had a hard time getting the SimpleEagle to land gently with that much weight. Not impossible, but not often successful.
Production notes: Scaling the SimpleEagle up by a factor of 1.6961 will bring it close to realistic dimensions. You'll want to increase the engine power as well (somewhere around 4 or 5 for "powerMultiplier" in Overload settings under "Engine" for both engines). Mass should probably stay the same. This process takes less than five minutes using the Fine Tuner mod. I may upload a scaled up version eventually.
Have fun!
