Now, I don't wanna end up throwing too much of a negative shade on Mr. DC in terms of this addon, but IMHO, I feel like there's so much potential that this model would've been for both FSX and P3D users, even those non-VRS Superbug flyers wanting a better Rhino model than the FS KBT one. But since this addon wasn't much getting any love, I took these matters into my own.

Over the course of the past few weeks, I've done some private/personal fixes on this bird to not only be just an "eye-candy", but to be "flyable" to say the least. Grueling modifications to the Aicraft CFG and Flight Model FDE/air file have been made, so that it flies like a "proper" Rhino. Refined the PBR textures and afterburner textures for a bit, and added better light effects for night ops. Tons of fixes I've made. And I wanna explain more in-depth.

Anyway, if you have any thoughts, please, feel free. I'm all ears on what you think. Enjoy these shots for now:

Looks fun. Been wanting to pick this up for P3dv4. Will you be sharing your Mods in the resource section?

Given that the DCD SH model is payware, a modified mdl file isn't happening at all. But, best of what I could possibly offer is the enhanced flight model FDE and aircraft cfg files, along with various enhancements like:
-Auto-smoke gauge, complete with effects
-A special xml gauge which automatically switches off the landing light once the gear is retracted, which is very common on fighter jets, and you can only manually switch it on once the gear is down

As for the CFG and air, i basically derived it from this, and it worked like a charm, flies like a proper Rhino, or at least close to it. But I can pack up my version since, I put the correct weight values, depending on the fuel and ordnance it has per variant.
