Changes: F/A-26B

Revision as of 06:52, 7 October 2019

"A carrier based air-superiority fighter that can be configured for ground attack roles." - Game

The F/A-26B is a playable twin engine multi-role fighter added in Update 0.0.7

It has features of several aircraft including the F-22, F-15, and F/A-18.

It is largely based off the F-15 with the prominent variable intake ramps.
It has the multirole and carrier ops capability of an F/A-18
It has the stealthy nose and angled rudder design of an F-22.

Cockpit

Functionally, the cockpit has almost a 1:1 parity with the controls found in the AV-42C Kestrel with some differences.

There are two VR MFCDs with the center position instead being populated by analog instruments.Numbers on the dials stay the same but they directly represent the digits of the player's chosen units.
RADAR controls.
The player can change between side stick or center stick.
The foldable wings are controlled with a switch next to the parking brake. The switch is locked out once in flight to prevent the wings from folding, but the wings will not automatically fold out in air. Instead they will snap off after a sufficient speed.
