@F104Deathtrap I just checked out some of your builds. Seeing as you are capable of making jet nozzles, you must have some ideas on how to make full movable surfaces! Cough up your secrets, old chap!
@F104Deathtrap Thanks for the comment, but if A/C don't have elevators, how do they change pitch? If you're referring to the difference between fully movable horizontal tail surfaces as opposed to integrated hinged elevator surfaces, then you're correct, but they're still "elevators" in the aerodynamic sense. As regards SP builds, I don't know how to make fully movable tail surfaces, so I just made them pretty!
@GhostHTX I do appreciate your sexual aberration towards my creation, old bean, and understand it perfectly. I really don't understand the missile problem - but then again I don't understand much of anything, really. Strange that the problem only manifests itself with the mirrored pieces. As regards the missile homing, I fired the Guardian and maintained lock, only to see it boogie off somewhere different. When I chose the missile cam, there it was, farting around in ever-decreasing circles, trying to disappear up its own chuff-pipe. The port side missiles without the realistic looking cladding homed and destroyed as it says on the tin. I decided to retire in good order, and renounce further tweaks. Let me know if you have some ideas on how to overcome similar future glitches, dear fellow. Oh, and thanks for the jolly old spotlight, unfortunately you'll have to stop building and wait about 15 years before I can return the favour.
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.
@mikoyanster thanks bro, and thanks for the awesome challenge. Can you help with the reflected port side missiles falling apart? I'm not smart enough to figure out the problem.
@JohnnyBoythePilot I liked your comment, I just wanted to make a joke about how we Brits did everything to kick big holes in our aerospace industry, and never built anything after the Lightning. BTW this one isn't mine, it's RAF1's. He loves Lightnings too.
Their rep handed the reins over to BAC which then became BAE who
forgot how to make aircraft themselves and are happy that at least someone remembers British aerospace heritage,😜 @JohnnyBoythePilot
@MarshallLewisAerospace use whatever you like, no problem. Take a look at my Vendetta bomb bay too, it may be even more to your liking. As for the control problems, I never had any breakages or uncommanded control inputs , so I don't know what to say. Take it apart and have a look to see if you can improve it.
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?
Tip top old chap! Didn't know about this particular aircraft, but your assessment of the post-war aircraft industry is faultless. Roll over and play dead comes to mind... Anyway, with full flaps and 33% throttle I got a controlled landing at 190, but she did eat up all of Yeager's runway. Very stable though, a true airliner.
@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.
@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?

@Tang0five Praise indeed, old chap. I thank you muchly. I'll have to have a dekko at your VG version, "serrated" or not.

@mikoyanster thanks bro, and thanks for the awesome challenge. Can you help with the reflected port side missiles falling apart? I'm not smart enough to figure out the problem.
@BogdanX the parts that fall belong to the reflected missiles, as I said in the description. I don't remember mass scaling the gear...
+1Thanks bro! @EternalDarkness
Unstructured grids... Haven't generated one of these in years.
Max kudos for the patience.

Spiffing upgrade, old boy! I'll download it to pc later, but in the meantime have a jolly old upvote.

Absolute Coolness. I've got a Lightning type in the works for the challenge too. Great minds and all that...
A sad epitaph to the Supermarine legend. Nice build though, old chap.
@mikoyanster I'm in
Pretty little lady, my boy. Keep it up!
@Mustang51 just checked out the Fishpot. A beaut!
And a beautiful flier too. Congrats, old chap!!
Wow, you nailed it with this one. Great choice of aircraft!
@Mustang51 It's the armed Advanced Weapons Trainer I hinted at in the Athena backstory. We must work at the same rate!
Thanks for the Spotlight my phriendly phantom @GhostHTX
@Tang0five thanks old chap!
Interesting to say the least! I'll download it to pc later to test it thoroughly
@Mustang51 thanks man, she's one of my favourite planes too.
@Mustang51 Thanks, I'll try those suggestions
@Mustang51 glad you took the time to try it out
@mikoyanster thanks man!
@Ephwurd Thanks, appreciate it.
@Mustang51 thanks! Let me know your thoughts
@EternalDarkness Can do. Sorry, too much stuff too little time!

I raise an eyebrow and softly say "Fascinating..."
Well done, she looks the part and flies really well too

Great build of a rare aircraft. Spotlighted and upvoted. Well done old chap!
Simply Amazing.

@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!!!
+1Well, bust my braces old chap - you've outdone yourself this time
Bugger my old boots, this is rather lovely, old chap. Have an upvote for your troubles. I'd spotlight too, if only i knew how.
+1The weird and wonderful Sea Vixen. Epic build, old chap!
@SledDriver You're right, of course. So I'll see what I can come up with.
+1I'll prepare to be humiliated Sled Driver, old chap.
I'm in. All I have to do now is figure out how to make/adjust bombs... Oh, doh! is me.
