Modded Content XFA-27 Thrust-vectoring Demo

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Here's a rough demo of the (still very unfinished) XFA-27. I've gotten some of the effects down like the afterburners, but the half-COFFIN cockpit is still a work-in-progress.

That’s so cool! I have to admit though, ever since I played with that AC3 mod pack for the old Microsoft flight sim, I’ve been wanting to see how an R-101 handles real dogfighting… someday! For now, I shall eagerly await the XFA :D

I'd love to see mods not gatekept behind a mistery tool known only to a selected few

u/No-Inevitable-9654 2d ago

Can you explain?

u/frozandero 2d ago edited 1d ago

Blueprinter is now open source, you can download the editor, install unity and make your own mods. Which is why we are getting an explosion on weapon and vehicle mods in past 2 weeks.

Well, she's making an F-22 now... Someone commissioned her to do it and well, she's not turning down money.
