@ThatKindaWeeb He, I can't fix that :)
I kinda gave up on the NF-104A since I can't find a way to make the rocket behave like a rocket. It's a jet engine in game, but because of that, it loses thrust with altitude.
I did just do some more browsing on the forums though; apparemtly more inlets might help so I'll try that
@Dragoranos Oh really? lol
Did they modify them or just use them straight up?
tbh, I don't mind if they modify and use them unless there's a rule against non-original builds
@Th3Missil3 Working on the camo and gears and then the loadouts will come after
It's not at a point where I'd want to post another sitrep quite yet
I also have some other stuff I want to release in the next sitrep
@ThatKindaWeeb I did actually have an idea like that but didn't know if it was worth going for.
I'd keep the missiles the same for consistency, but remove the gear and have a reduced missile loadout without drop tanks. I was thinking of calling it a "BANDIT" preset. Might actually do that since you're interested :)
@Th3Missil3 Fixed!
Interestingly, it had to do with the hidden tiny wheel in the nosewheel, which is now removed. I sometimes have to use that since the pistons can make landing gear glitch out otherwise, but it seems like the aircraft works fine without it.
@Th3Missil3 I've made the MiG-23 and now that I'm making a Flanker, I'd be fine with doing another NATO aircraft. I do want to make another variant of the Su-27, but not the 30SM.
The FIA has unanimously agreed that the US Navy's F/A-18C Hornet has violated regulations and will not be allowed to participate in this year's championship.

@ThatKindaWeeb It's finnicky. You need to find the .xml file of your creation and open it with a text editor (i.e. notepad). At the top there should be a line saying url="". Take the six-letter code from the url of this post and paste it in between the quotes. Save and then try updating the XML via the site. Here's a better guide.
That being said, I'm not sure how this works on mobile.
@Graingy I mean
The F-16C V5 was my 6th F-16
The F-15C V4 was my 5th F-15
I think it's good to remake the same aircraft a couple times, it shows how much you've improved Something something practiced 10,000 kicks once vs practiced 1 kick 10,000 times
I also just like these planes :P
@Graingy Yeah true, this is my 4th Su-27 now so I kinda know what to expect
The color also helps for contrasting against the black and white blueprints

Actually, it's a cake
-The U-2 was designed by Kelly Johnson, designer of the F-104, and the original proposal, the CL-282, was based on the XF-104.
-There were 104 U-2's made.
-The wingspan of the U-2 is 104 feet.
A little note about smooth(,)
.
You can use smooth(x, 1/n), where n is the number of seconds it takes for x to change by 1.
.
For example, if you have smooth(Activate1, 1/5), when you use AG1, it will take 10 seconds for the "smoothed" value to change from -1 to 1.
@EngieWeeb Ah that makes sense
I read up a bit more on the ML so I might work on the FM a bit more, didn't know how much the weight was reduced from the previous models
@Th3Missil3 The aircraft is naturally pointed upwards on the ground, so it is likely the wings lifting the aircraft and reducing traction
.
Make sure the elevators are deflected downwards while braking and you should be able to brake without worrying too much
@Ac3Zodiac @Kangy Made an update to the flight model, guess I took the Constant Peg pilots' criticisms a little too seriously :P (And I guess they didn't have MLD's)
.
The poor turning at full-sweep was more due to excessive deflection of the elevators, so it now deflects less at full-sweep
@ShinyGemsBro Still wing guns
The cannons are cool but the sound they make when firing fast is not great.
I think the rule I'm gonna set for myself will be that cannons 37mm or above use the cannon part but that hasn't come up yet.
