FA-37 by Bruce Fitzgerald

Ok, I've been flying this baby more and more and having a blast. I can get it to almost motionless in the air and then accelerate to mach in no time at all. The wing sweep animation while doing this is fun to watch. Full throttle to a constant speed. . . .hit full flaps and speed brakes simultaneously (full flaps sweeps the wings aft) and the aircraft will decelerate to almost "0" airspeed, then catch it just prior to that by pulling in the flaps and speed brakes and it's off again to mach+.

Realistic, not really, but it's a sim, so who cares, it's something to try anyway. I just need to adjust the level of the VC when it's set at normal view. I know the slope of the nose dictates that the VC would be lower than normal, but I'd like to see a tad bit more of it in my normal view, otherwise, very cool. I also need to add the A2A 3D lights to this one as well.
 
Yes, the VC instruments are sitting very low in the forward view, and that's a bit surprising at first.
But this bird offers an excellent view at very high altitude. The power of its engines allows him to fly very high, and the view over there can be very beautifull and impressive.

Just look, Switzerland has never been so small :)

Right on Daube. . .spectacular shot from the fringes of space. The view is one you don't get from conventional aircraft to be sure.

Thanks Bruce. . .a real gem (minus the pilot of course, lol).
