    This was a relatively simple and quick mod for me to do, and gain some modelling experience from it :)

    It handles speeds quite well, you can easily fly around at 500 km/h, I used an F18 as reference, but it was more for inspiration.
    Not based on any realistic data, just something I made up to mess around in.

    Controls:
    T - Full Thrust
    G - Reverse Thrust
    H - Taxi Thrust(For driving on land)
    Arrow keys - Elevators/Ailerons

    Enjoy :)

    That thing looks like a lot of fun! I can't wait to try it out... I'm surprised there isn't any wing flex, especially going that fast!


    (Although from an aerodynamic standpoint it looks kinda goofy)

    Yeah :D It's based on my suggestion :p
    Nice mod!

    Edit: Wow! Just reached 1,600 Km/h! Sadly I crashed into the ground at that point, but I'm sure that thing can get over (not 9000) but 2000 km/h! Good Job Sam :)

    You can reach every speed you want with the thrusters ;) (In BeamNG)

    This is awesome Sam, I love the design! My only suggestion would be to increase the effect of the elevators if possible, at the moment they don't seem to have enough of an effect on the plane. The glider was pretty perfect IMO when it comes to the plane reacting to your input, the fighter seems less maneuverable on the pitch axis which is the opposite of what I expected from a fighter jet.

    Edit: Could just be that I got so used to how the glider flies..

    Also I wish it would maintain level flight without any input, like the glider.

    Powerful and responsive (at least with rolling), exactly what I'd expect from fighter jet.

    Still, the model irks me a bit. If you were going for a cartoon-stylistic approach, disregard my post, but the plane has far too many curves. Most post-Korea aircraft use highly angular designs to avoid radar detection. The front wings should be more swept, taking into account the speeds this thing can achieve, and all of the aircraft's planes (wings and fins) are too thick. I'm also fairly sure an aircraft like this would have at least a 50% larger wingspan and fuselage length.

    And please don't take any of the above as an insult, it's just the modeler/artist in me giving feedback.
