Orange star fighter (Advanced wars)

[kapteenipirk]

Just taught id quickly show this crazy little replica craft of mine that i built quite a long time ago.

 

The only way to really explain that how this flies is for you to test it yourself, lets just say that it doesnt really get more ultra manouverable than this.

So be careful when you fly this, since even altough it stays under control superbly you lose a lot and a mean a LOT of speed when turning so don't over shoot or well, you know what happens.

It also runs out of fuel pretty fast so keep your eye on the fuel gauge.

The orange star fighter is actually just an SD (super deformed) F-15 strike eagle.

And just for reference here is the real thing. i did this paper model about 3 years ago.

So, enjoy your ride  and try not to stall or pass out.

Nice cardboard plane! So comic!  
Looks like your enhanced F-15 stalls upwards... very Kerbal and cool!

Thanks. That is actually me performing a very quick U-turn. Durning that manouver my speed goes from a 100 m/s to zero as i pull up and then back again as i do the roll manouver so i end up gravitating towards the ground a bit.

Really any small plane with Panthers is ultra-maneuverable, if I leave Gimbal on full I can get a replica F-18 in the air off the Launchpad. I find myself turning the Gimbal off on all my replica's now, I nearly did a Cobra turn in an SR-71!

Anyway I really like your little plane, I especially like the teeny tiny custom intakes.

I made something REALLY similar to this! lol!

 

Except mine has many different qualities that make it like an MiG-29/Su-27.....

I wonder which one is better.....

Thanks. yep, thrust gimballing makes pretty much anything super manouverable. That is why i use shuttle engines on my seaplanes, (30x30m and plus) cause it just wrenches them of the sea into the air.

I dunno.

There are so many players out there that i wouldnt be suprised if someone would have made this exact aircraft themselfs.

Oh boy, I remember Advanced Wars, that game was awesome!

Cute little fighter, maybe you should use KerbPaint or something to actually paint it orange.

well. i wish i could do that but the KerbPaint mod is lacking proper part support. selfish_meme is working on it right now and making good progress but i don't know if it turns in to an actual update for the mod itself.

It's coming along, and you can download the whole thing at the end of the thread, it works fine in 1.05 except if you use -forced3d11 or something like that. It should work for nearly all of your plane that I can see.

I actually downloaded and tested the mod about a month ago and my excperiences where: sitting for 20 minutes at the load screen and then finding out that the 747 that i wanted to colour was about 80% uncolourable, so yea.

Ill just wait.
