Virtavia AJ-2 Savage is out!

This one is a lot of fun. Unique and lots of animations. Three different models: bomber, tanker and recon.

I think they did a great job of integrating the jet engine - sounds and noticeable change in thrust and pitch when engaged. I've had several flights starting with radials only, then igniting the jet engine in flight.
 
Interesting plane! Great that Virtavia is doing a lesser known plane! It could however do with a new paintjob to get rid of the clean look! Flies like a swan.

The VC needs to be scuffed up as well. Cockpit lighting works well, but that all black panel... against the black scenery... took me a while to adjust.
 
I've got to figure out a better launch assistance entry. The plane comes loose before the throttle is spooled up.

I noticed the launch issue just as we were releasing it, but it was too late to get the change incorporated.

Try using these numbers to see if the cat holds. They need to be just in the right spot especially if the carrier is moving.

[launch_assistance]
launch_bar_pivot = 9.8, 0, -4.5
launch_bar_lug = 12.6, 0, -7.6

BTW,
Here's a little secret. I enabled water injection. It will add a little boost to horse power and airspeed.
All you have to do to get it to work is assign a couple of key strokes under Settings - Controls / Buttons - Keys / Engines / War Emergency Power. I have been using W+E. You can assign any keys of your choosing.

That's it! Works great now!

Here's a texture that came with the package. I made it more dirty, added the yellow warning arrow and made the spinners less red. The paintkit is a joy to work with!

Great looking paints. Keep up the good work. I was thinking about this model because it's so different, but it looks a little FS9'ish. Maybe wait for a sale sometime.
