Chill out people. What's with the squeaky buttholes over a game? I hear that thousands of Russian teenagers enjoy playing a Call of Duty game where a certain Col. Price and his SF unit happily blow the crap out of Russian forces.
I didn't want to admit this, but... my initial training and first solo was in a Chipmunk. I can still hear the "Boom chuff chuff Bwoooarr!" of the cartridge start Gypsy Major engine. I guess that makes me officially old.
Well fan me with a kipper! What a bloody marvellous build! My attempts at biplanes end up as Pitts Specials without the recovery control. Oh woe is me...
What ho! Lovely little backwoods brawler this. Wouldn't mind a real one to do some hedge-hopping in Madagascar or the like. Hope to see you back more often. Toodle pip!
Vhere are all the exposed rived-heads, comrade? I will have to dock marks for being unrealistic. Just kidding. Good job as always, you imperialist swine, you.
The Lightning was a great dogfighter and could even hold its own with teen series aircraft. I know some red-faced Harrier pilots who underestimated the Lightning's sheer acceleration and manoeuvrability and paid the price after nozzling off all their knots. My experience with DACT in the Lightning which included Teen fighters, F4, Draken, F104, Hunter, and Mirage III made me glad I was flying the Lightning. If I got into trouble I could disengage at will. I don't believe the Migs (21/23) of the same era were superior @Tang0five
Oh man, this work shit is getting in the way of my Simple Planing. How did I miss this? Sweet little flyer and all that cockpit goodness makes one very pleased, old bean. Voting in the upward direction is obligatory, dear boy.
@BoeyingOfficial I can help you with the glass nose question; all Russian cold-war era civilian aircraft were designed so that they could be converted to bombers or reconnaissance aircraft in case of war.
@KidKromosone I adjusted the mass scale of the landing gear as suggested by BogdanX, and now the wheels just do a slight shuffle as opposed to a frenzied jitterbug.
My dear fellow, things in the land of corrupt politicos, good food, wine and tanks with Ferrari performance are absolutely wonderful. I have just posted a potential nemesis to your rather super Mig offering, she should be a good scrapper notwithstanding the epileptic Fred Astaire landing gear when on the deck.
Spiffing build indeed! Don't know how I missed this, old bean. Anyway, have a jolly old upvote for your trouble, and check out my Vendetta for the TDC Challenge. You're in that, are you not?
@MEERKAT978 Ooops! It must be my PTSD kicking in. Checked and found that you were right. It's AG3 and VTOL, and now it's fixed. Don't know how I overlooked it.
@MEERKAT978 Thanks, old bean! High praise indeed, but the probe problem is a new one on me. I use Z to raise and X to lower with AG2 activated. Not asking for a re-score, but let me know please so I can modify it. Later, bro and thanks again.
@GhostHTX I don't think so, old chap - but nice of you to say so. The back story has some elements of truth, but the Vindicators were Harriers ;-) Thanks for the upvote!
Oh my goodness! To say I'm lost for words would be using words I've lost. Well done, old chap. BTW, check out my latest creations, one of which was inspired by your Vengeful...

+3@GorillaGuerrilla Thanks, that sounds like the way to go. Appreciate it!

+2Indeed old boy. King Julien is somewhat of a loon and to be avoided when drunk. Like most of us, really. @GhostHTX
+2What ho! Lovely little backwoods brawler this. Wouldn't mind a real one to do some hedge-hopping in Madagascar or the like. Hope to see you back more often. Toodle pip!
+2Simply Amazing.
+2@RazgrizAces thanks bro!
+2Purple Helmet weapon? Bit of a cock-up, if you ask me, old boy.
+2@WinsWings well, and the rest of the UK :-)
+1@GhostHTX still struggling on, old chap- I shall endeavour to catch up with you and the rest of SP as and when I can.
+1@GorillaGuerrilla thanks, much appreciated!
+1Spiffing job, old top!
+1Yes, I'm kind of back too.
@Zaineman Hope you're having a good day.
+1@WinsWings I consider myself very lucky. Thanks anyway.
+1@WinsWings thanks, following back.
+1Uploaded my effort. Thanks for the challenge! @WinsWings
+1@WinsWings Thanks
+1What a F@**ng brilliant Aeroplane! I doff my cap to you, young James!
+1Lovely job, old bean! Awaiting your AEW Nimrod with interest and not a little trepidation... (hint, hint)
+1Vhere are all the exposed rived-heads, comrade? I will have to dock marks for being unrealistic. Just kidding. Good job as always, you imperialist swine, you.
+1@mikoyanster When I first read your comment there were no marks, just the slashes. It's OK now.

+1Never made a drone, but I'll be a Red Guy...
+1@BoeyingOfficial I can help you with the glass nose question; all Russian cold-war era civilian aircraft were designed so that they could be converted to bombers or reconnaissance aircraft in case of war.
+1Ooh, very nice my good fellow! Lovely job.
+1That's cirrhosis, guys. The alcohol's taking effect. Nice plane though :-)
+1Yep, you did it again.
+1@Ruimtevaart thanks, young lady!
+1@MEERKAT978 I just corrected the refuelling probe fault you picked up, it's the same build otherwise.
+1@KidKromosone I adjusted the mass scale of the landing gear as suggested by BogdanX, and now the wheels just do a slight shuffle as opposed to a frenzied jitterbug.
+1@KidKromosone Thanks for the comment. Yeah, I said the gear was an epileptic Fred Astair in the description, and I don't know why. Any ideas?

+1@BogdanX the parts that fall belong to the reflected missiles, as I said in the description. I don't remember mass scaling the gear...
+1@FGW2014 MagLev? ;-)

+1@MEERKAT978 hope you like it. Believe it or not, only the landing gear is nicked from the Vindicator ;-)
+1@MEERKAT Damn, that was quick! I hadn't even uploaded the description!!!
+1Bugger my old boots, this is rather lovely, old chap. Have an upvote for your troubles. I'd spotlight too, if only i knew how.
+1@SledDriver You're right, of course. So I'll see what I can come up with.
+1@anssi it's because I'm ancient!
+1@SeanTurbineModifier thanks!
+1@Tang0five praise indeed considering the source! Glad you like it.
+1@Davisplanez thanks mate! Appreciate your comment.
