@JuanNotAnAlt the su-27 did not have thrust vectoring. That would be later models from the Sukhoi family. I wish to implement fly-by-wire, but I still haven't learn to work it out..
As for custom wings It's something i'm not very fond of to be honest. It tends to make wings look blocky or messy unless you make it perfect... I'd rather keep it simple but that's me...
@Weaponsindustry For this specific build, technically, just move the missile into the body (or the body over the missile). If you're having difficulty in a separate build, @ me there and I will check it out for you.
@Ded The design can be as fantastic or as trash as you wish it to be, as long as it fits the requirements of the Fighter Mafia.
Side note, I agree 200%. Their ideas wanted the future to reflect past experiences, which is not how technological advancement works. Plenty of interesting documentaries out there calling them out as "Military analysts".
Despite that, I feel their requirements would make interesting designs from the simpleplanes community :)
@LieutenantSOT basic MSPaint. I grabbed Aircraft blueprints of real planes I wanted to take inspiration from, take parts I want from them (Top, Side and Front views where applicable), position and resize to the proportion I want it, save, then I place it in-game at the size I want to plane to be in, and I start building it.
It's not perfect, you can see some details I missed (ex. wing dihedral and cockpit glass angle), but I use it kinda like a guide of sorts.
From my experience doing this, you kinda get a feel of why planes are designed the way they are. Highly recommend you try it out yourself, or find me in the Discord servers and we can try making one together :)
@TheNightmareCompany I personally loved it. Doesn't share the Campy feeling from the David Lynch Version, but it's beautiful in its own right. Fun to watch, Definitely looking forward for the 2nd movie!
@ReinMcDeer As mentioned, it's an open discussion.
An air superiority fighter is usually a plane that can linger around in the sky for a long time, carry enough armament to take down as many planes as it can, supersonic and maneuverable.
The mig-29 can do most of it, sure, but the only thing it suffers is flying time and loadout (at least compared to it's contemporaries). It's a fuel hog... if you ever tried the dcs version, you'll understand why it won't fly for long. And when you consider it's only 6 pylons (and 1 fuel-exclusive) you see it doesn't do much outside of intercept incoming enemies, rather than going to enemy lines... In essence it's kinda like an upgraded mig-21... just 2 extra pylons and more maneuverable...
Again, I LOVE the mig-29, sexiest Russian military hardware! Just saying I don't think the early mig-29s would have done much...
Attach the Missile Body and the Guardian Missile to the Detacher and NOT eachother. Also Make sure that the Guardian Missile is inside the Missile Body. The Guardian will "push" the missile.
Will this be released soon heavy psychotic breathing
+10SHUT UP AND TAKE MY UPVOTE!! ALL OF IT!!!
+10gunsights only or huds in general?
+9I SEE INTRUMENTATION GAUGES!
I SEE INTERACTABLE CONTROLS!
Will these be in the base game? (blinking eyes of hope)
+8Would be awesome to get a screenshot of your own vehicles as a shirt or mug!!!
+7Me reading this list
+4THISSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS!!!!
+4Found this completely by mistake! Glad to see my home country in-game :)
+4Very nice try! Keep it up!!
+3What map did you use for the preview image?
+3Very good model!! Keep up the good work!
Maybe you'd consider doing the F-32 variant as a future build?
+3🤩
+3Well done! Amazong job! The only thing that would have made it perfect would be the CADC mechanism! more info here
Keep it up!!
+3Would have been awesome if the you didn't use the refuel mod for it; now that a refuelling probe has been added to the game!
+3TAKE MY UPVOTE!! JUST TAKE IT!!
+3Suggest you reupload the model with the fixed ailerons as an unlisted upload. Other than that, gorgeous model!!! Keep it up!!
Suggest you wait for the new update before attempted the bomb bay... will make it neater :)

Thanks for your criticism :)
+3Very neat! love the design... wonder if it is possible to make the armaments slow enough to shoot itself...
+3@MemriNotTheNewsChannel I meant who came first, second, third etc..
+3@MethaManAircraft My intention is to reduce part count as much as possible. My PC may handle part count, but I wish to keep it as light as possible.
+3@Weaponsindustry For this specific build, technically, just move the missile into the body (or the body over the missile). If you're having difficulty in a separate build, @ me there and I will check it out for you.
+2@Noname918181 seems to have fixed now
+2Very good design!
+2I'd only sweep the wings back, and call it a Saber.. Wait a minute...
love this design! keep up the good work!!

+2@WolfHunter9111 thanks :)
+2Glad to see an F-14 with the CADC control installed. I attempted this a while back, needs a re-re-re-re-master.. not quite happy with the final look
+2This is not a return - I have stopped building. I still play it every now and then. This was just a suggestion...
@Kangy
+2@IceCraftGaming
Really diggin the design!! May I do a personal remake of this plane? (in the future)
+2*sharp inhale
+2* slow clap
Looks like the Default Sea Plane (Simple) !!
+2awesome job! Keep it up!!
interesting idea to blend f-16 with f-18!! keep up the good work :)
+2@TodMakesStuff here's my entry I hope it's acceptable

+2It's a good try, though I do have a lot of nitpicks to point out..
+2Very very good model! Not sure if I prefer this over mine xD
+2@SyntheticL You are right. I gave it a basic star shape because i didn't want to add too much to the part count.
I wish they would add ASCII characters to the new labels feature, it would save me A LOTTTTTT OF TIME...
+2Impressive work!! This should be something simpleplanes integraes in-game now that gauges are available
+2Awesome work! Keep it up!
+2The elevator animation seems to be inverted, other than that, awesome job!! Keep it up!!!
+2Excellent model! Keep it up!!

+2What happens when an F-105 and F-18 make a plane... This happens xD
Awesome plane concept! I love it! Deserves a higher definition down the line ;)
+2Made me laugh... you get an upvote xD
+2Gorgeous plane!! Keep up the good work :)!!
+2gorgeous barrel xD
+2@Walvis very nice and simple for a first try! I wanted mine to be personal and memorable :)
