WAWS F/A-21F Super Puma

Description GIF Date : 09-24-2022 - Up to Date!

The W.A.W.S. F/A-21F Super Puma (1,073 bricks) is a fictional multi-role, all-weather, stealth combat jet with the capability to mount munitions both internally in its dedicated weapons bay, and externally under-wing and/or under-fuselage.

The design takes inspiration from a variety of fighter aircraft including the Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor, the McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle, the Boeing F/A-18E Super Hornet, and the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II. It is a major rework of the now very obsolete W.A.W.S. F/A-21E Puma design.

The Super Puma is the latest generation in W.A.W.S. aerospace developments. It possesses a full fly-by-wire system with smart attitude holding, active stabilization, dual-axis thrust vectoring, control surface combining, multi-input flaps and leading-edge slats, as well as a forwards-flying autopilot (attitude hold). The vehicle also features an alarm system for collisions and will notify you if you are too close to the ground without your landing gear deployed.

NOTICE : This vehicle was originally optimized for use with a HOTAS (using x360ce - an Xbox 360 controller emulator to allow the game to detect input), but as of Major Update 01A, I have been putting in effort to make the aircraft easier to fly for players who lack dedicated flight controllers. Using the mouse controls to turn is only good for small adjustments. Please use the arrow keys for large turns, as it is less fatiguing to your arm.
