In the last days (well, more in the last weeks), I made a new model for the flight sim. It took waaay longer than I expected, but I like how it turned out in the end. It is no longer a biplace aeroplane (fighter jet with two seats) with only one seat, but a real single-seat-aeroplane. Wrong gear doors and aileron control surfaces were fixed as well.
