Unless you turn the afterburner on, of course.... Then speeds of 90+ are obtainable on the ground....

I would like to see an unarmed VTOL, non-afterburner, version of this plane. I remember reading a Popular Mechanics way back when, and they actually had a small VTOL engine in the back pages you could purchase as a kit. The two panels down below would be perfect if there were no weapon hard points (with a minimum of particle attachment); all I would think it would need is an intake on top, and it'd be good to go.

To be honest, I've been tweaking the config file to improve the ground turning radius and experiment. It looks a little funky right now. I'll admit to adding in the VTOL variable and getting a real kick out of it. Why? Well, why arm the thing in the first place? Because we can.

I am thinking about using the unarmed version of this model to replace the Moxie we currently use in our Warfare scenario to get rapidly from place to place.

Additionally, I think the AA need to be toned down to Stinger equivalents, the AT needs to be reduced from the Mavericks to something far less powerful, and the Bombs should not exceed C-4 damage capabilities, and probably should not be laser guided.

I would also like to encourage you to develop the config file as a pbo separate from the model pbo to facilitate updating.

Overall, it's a brilliant, fun, crazy, exceptionally air-lift-able addition. Did I mention fun?

@quicksilver67

thank you for your feed back but i like the direction that my aircraft is going now and am not going to redesign the model to incorporate VTOL . and on the weapons if u look at the config and then the weapons base classes they use they are alot weaker than the original weapons. and the turning was set the way it was because if u change the turning for the ground it affects the way the plane flys . the plane is not perfect it is meant to be a fun addon not an exact copy of the real plane. but with all that said the plane is still a beta and is not final yet so who knows i might change some things but as said i like the direction is going.

I had a chance to try this over the last few days, and it is a VERY fun addon! :) Thank you for the hard work on it!

Fair enough, mate; it's your model. And it is fun just the way it is; a lot of fun. Once again, nice job!

Thanks for this great addon. It had inspired me to a project again that some OFP community members started and never finished.
