It has been requested quite often and here it is: The latest fighter jet of the US in the VTOL configuration. All VTOL hatches and engines work, giving it a nice and realistic look. You can open the internal weapon bays with a trainer, since I have made them as car doors. Inside are 2 JDAM bombs and 4 AMRAAMs on external hardpoints, as well as 2 Sidewinders.
The glass can be shattered by bullets, bulletholes are visible, model is dirt mapped and includes 3 different skins (liveries).
I know that the MG position is not like in real life, but that’s because the F-35B does not have an internal MG and has to carry an underbelly gunpod, which looks ugly imo.
The afterburner engine effect moves together with the VTOL thruster as well.
Changelog:
V1.1:
-working gauges (well, only the roll indicator since the rest isn’t analog)
-new “burned” areas after destruction (instead of being black everywhere)
V1.0:
-Initial release
