The F-20A Hammerhead is a fictional successor to the F-20 Tigershark, in this version the jet is set up for SEAD in the colors of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

I've created this extension to the original upload to make it easier to make skins for the aircraft, and also to be able to alter the flight model - instead of putting all the skins in one pack causing no changes in behaviour when the jet is set up for BFM / ACM / CAP etc...

You're welcome to explore the original upload here: https://flightsim.to/file/59308/f-20a-hammerhead

I'm also uploading a livery for this version to make it easier to create your own liveries, you can find it linked below here:

The jet is still work in progress, consider this a type of early access - it started as a thought experiment on how to make a small affordable fighter with some stealth capabilites. Originally envisioned by an RDAF Lt. Col friend of mine - if you're interested there's a greater insight into the conceptual process here: https://witus.dk/2022/08/12/microsoft-flight-simulator-2020/

Changelog recente for 0.5.2

New stuff:
Larger jet ( increased size from 12m to 16m ( 40 ft to 52.5 ft )

Improved brakes

Engine has more thrust

Upper speed limit is now around 900 knots ( causes vibration and needs to be in a dive to achieve )

Better Taxi steering

Zoomed outside view so the jet doesn't look so small

Added other things like IRST and a few changes to the cockpit layout.

Known issues:
Cold start doesn't work, you can spool up the APU and the engine to 20% but I simply can't find the control for jumping the throttle to idle ( sure you can move the throttle, but the engine start up sequence doesn't recognize it ) So use CTRL+E for now ( I put it on the red "Remove before flight" ribbon, very clever haha ).

The jet will shut down the engine if you pull the throttle all the way back ( past the idle stop ) - that's realistic - but annoying ;)

It is necessary to take off using flaps and rotate around 170 / 180 knots and immediately suck up the landing gear and flaps or else they will jam in place

You cannot drop the landing gear above 170 knots as well ... so slow down on approach and drop it when below 170 - the aircraft can stay airborne down to around 110 knots..

The shortcuts for looking left and right from the pilot seat teleports you back into the aircraft, will investigate if it's just a camera positional thing..

Afterburner is sometimes visible, sometimes not ( could be an altitude thing ) :S

We're missing a fuel gauge and a way to shut off the "Fuel low" warning
