@Hyattorama I see this beauty and her whole family pretty often when I visit the Italian Air Force Museum in Bracciano, Rome. Always amazed me since I was a child
Did you know that the water radiator basically consisted in the whole central wing surface? The brass plates that you can see both on the wings and on the floats are filled with tubes connected straight to the engine, and during high speed flights, that's what cooled down that beautiful contra rotating engine!
@ThePilotDude thank you! But It's not simple as simple as it looks, I had to choose not to overdetail it because of the performance I got while playing it. Maybe I'll update the model in the near future
@Destroyer5713 actually it was designed on paper, and then converted to SP. I designed it all by myself, and it just takes inspiration from the main characteristics that a Light Fighter should have :)
@Flash0of0green it was designed as a Multirole 5th Generation Fighter, and originally it was meant to be carrier-based aircraft (In fact the first prototype had a retractable tail hook, and had reinforced nose landing gear). Even though it's not an "Aggressive" Fighter, and its role is similar to the Su-57 (T-50 / Su-50 ) as a "Defensive" fighter, Its systems allow the use of a variety of payloads, from Laser and Precision Guided Bombs, to a big number of Air to Air and Air to Ground Missiles.
@BaconRoll thank you so much! But I'm sorry to tell you, that I share only 3 things with the Genius himself: we are both named Leonardo, we both love flying machines, and we are both Italian! :)
@BaconEggs oh hahaha, don't worry, with this aircraft stability is controlled by the on-board computer, through a Fly-By-Wire system ;)
You won't spin than easily
@NANOMAN большое спасибо! Даже если они компрометируют навыки скрытности, я оставил их для игроков, которые хотят добавить свое вооружение без необходимости разбирать трюм за оружие
@Planedude thank you! And you tell right.
About the Pitch, I choosed to use Trim to solve it, without increasing the number of parts of this Aircraft, keeping it almost playable for everyone.
Drag is a pain to deal with, I didn't even pay attention to it while building this, won't do the same for the next build.
@BogdanX never had the same problem. It may be due to the rotators that allow the whole wing to bend and give it aeroelastic properites. Just keep a slight pitch up and it's all good. Thank you by the way 😊

+1@Tang0five thank you so much! I really appreciate those kind of comments, and they motivate me a lot!
@flyingsteve88 thank you, by the way I was just joking!
@RamboJutter the nose is like in the real one :) and as I said too many times, I couldn't put more details on it because of my game performance
@ThePilotDude thank you! But It's not simple as simple as it looks, I had to choose not to overdetail it because of the performance I got while playing it. Maybe I'll update the model in the near future
@shipster in the mechanism that makes the variable swept wings work and a lot of stuff that you can't see with naked eye :)
@flyingsteve88 I did as good as I could with my current pc performance, but sure, are you going to buy me a more powerful one to do that?
@BaconRoll fast boi

@Tessemi well, no. I designed the plane from zero, based on some drawings I've done in the past. So It has nothing to share with the F-22
@EternalDarkness thank you, I asked just to understand how the featuring process works, if it was automatic or controlled my the moderators

+1@EternalDarkness how can I get featured? (By the way, congrats for the promotion)

+1@Blue0Bull thank you!
@DestinyAviation thank you very much! I've put a lot of effort in building this, and every part of it is the result of day of testing!

@CRJ900Pilot we had to Save on the materials cost ;)
@BaconEggs thank you, could you explain why?
@Planedude thank you! And you tell right.

@lancelot3340 not really, just took the inspiration from many Modern "Light Fighters". It was born from a quick sketch at school actually :)
@newb I don't know. Didn't think about that because never encountered that problem. Maybe just keep a slightly positive pitch while flying
+1@ChiChiWerx thank you! Why wouldn't you have employed them?
@LuciferOfPoland of course I will, thank you so much by the way!
@Mostly thank you, but I don't deserve it 😊
@Roswell Thanks!

@CRJ900Pilot Thank you, glad you like it :)
