Saab JA 37 Viggen

DO NOT REUPLOAD WITHOUT PERMISSION. I AM SERIOUS. A LOT OF HOURS ARE PUT DOWN INTO THIS PROJECT - DO NOT STEAL.

The Saab J/A 37 Viggen (Thunderbolt) was the first Swedish Aircraft that featured a computer system to help the pilot in fact one of the first in the world when it came to combat aircraft in regular service. It also was the first jet aircraft with a canard configuration and thus was called "The worlds Fastest Bi-plane". It featured a reverser (Not jet included here due to limits of triggers in brick rigs/Working on a solution) that gave the aircraft excellent STOL (Short take off and landing) abilities that were required by the Swedish Air Force (SAF), as SAF dispersed the aircraft to short runways integrated into the swedish road network. The aircraft could land and take off on runways as short as 500-600 meters and in adverse conditions. Pilots were trained in low level flying with the restiriction of 30 meters over land and 10 meters over sea, during peacetime. And this with an aircraft that did not have a terrain following autopilot.

The last variant of the Viggen to leave the factory was the Fighter/Attack (J/A) version featured here. I will when I have time make a A/J (Attack/Fighter), SF Spaning Foto (Photo Recon), SH Spaning Hav (Sea/Signal recon), SK (Skol/Training) versions, but these are not prioritised as of now.

UPDATE 13/10: The aircraft now handles better. Has a new body structure and less agressive thrust output. Still it can all go sour if the pilot powers on during contra turns. Instructions are to let go of the throttle, GENTLY lean the aircraft into the turn (Make sure not to exeed 500 km/h) Then level wings and apply power.

UPDATE 29/10: Handling update. I have added a moving weight in the body of the airplane. This has nearly completely reduced the tendencies of the aircraft to throw itself into undesired direction as fuel level sinks. Also have changed the order the missiles fires. They are now bound to action 3 to 9 to not collide with the mouse buttons.
SLOW-MO No longer required to fly well.

CONTROLS:

Normal Controls: Wheel steering: (A D) Throttle: (W S) Power to electric motor for taxi. Do not exeed 30 km/h during Taxi. You'll be sorry :) Pitch: (Page UP Page Down) Open cockpit

ALT-CONTROLS (Slowmo (TAB) recommended due to how thrusters work. Set slowmo at 0.2 0.280) Throttle: (W) Power up thrusters. Takoff roll is at >=350 km/h. Do not overexeed 600 km/h or bad things happen. PITCH AND YAW: MOUSE or Arrow keys Gear UP/DOWN: PAGE DOWN/PAGE UP

Weapons While in alt-mode you can use numpad to release the missiles. Either without power (Action 3-9) or under power by pressing (S) in ALT Mode THEN pressing corresponding action keys. Cannon is Mouse Button 1.

If you can tell me what is the problem with the YAW, drop me a line in the comments. I will credit you in this description for the input.

A big thank you to NoxiousFumes that have been helping me the past day on trying to isolate the problem with the Yaw but is left as flabbergasted as me on the issue. Thank you buddy! Hope we can find the problem and isolate it. If you want to repost this file you have my permission to do so Noxious. /Swemer
