Thanks for your comment, Omega. With the Stalker it's pretty "packed" when it comes to controller placements. One thing in particular is that the flight controller is located pretty close to the rear of the pilot. The AI seems to aim for the pilot and if you are moving faster the rounds seem to land just aft of the pilot... and put holes through the flight controller. It's a big controller block with not many places to put it unfortunately. The engines may get hit as well but I think the biggest culprit is damage to the flight controller.

This thing crashes if it gets shot at most twice in the engine which is pretty okay i guess?
but good overall

i think he was referring to the bobfire, which in in the description

link to the HOBS missile?

Hi thatcoolcat1, thanks for the tip. I had considered that. :) I had choosen to go with Sensor returns from the missiles themselves as I want to make the hardpoint system more modular.
As a result it would dependent on the capabilities of the loadout as opposed to what the "carrying platform" was packing. I had some more plans for it such as radar returns from seeker heads... I've just run out of steam for the game. I've uninstalled Stormworks and I'm not sure on when I may return.

tip: you dont need a constant on to the seeker head to know if it has target lock. you can just put a laser sensor on your own vehicle and use that. bit more elegant solution.

Just as note.. Pitch is a bit more aggressive in Mouse Mode since there is a bit more "analog input" consideration (like in a joystick or HOTAS).

Thanks for the comment, HalfWayDone. I made a conscience decision to limit the pitch and roll to make the STALKER a bit more "controllable". I've found that there a lot of planes on the Workshop where the pitch is so aggressive its bouncing. For the STALKER my goal was to make something that was relatively forgiving to fly. It's not the fastest and the nimblest but I'm hoping people find it controllable... because putting ordinance on target is important. :)

Amazing plane but could use more aggressive pitch control but I don't know anything

Thanks for the heads-up, krifee2004. Originally that composite block was for fuel control and had the option to drop tanks beyond just using the loadout screen. It appears I forgot to remove the composite hook up to the drop options in the fuel controller. I'll fix that shortly.

The "ALERTS- SILENCE - Radar" button drops the A pylon when pressed, and the "ALERTS- SILENCE- Systems" button drops the B pylon when pressed.

ok if you got health probloms you need a 2 month break

Don't worry about it man. Real life always comes first, wish you the best. Awesome creation as always!

The STALKER was an unfinished project that had been sitting for a while. Right now I'm swamped in RL and dealing with some health problems. To start another huge project like a Destroyer is not practical. I have a keel laid in design but considering the amount of work to complete it (weeks/months) I don't have the time nor desire to do it. I've got over 5000 hrs in this game... I'm getting "tired". :)

still never got another naval ship from the SBS fenris

Thanks, Hunter. :)

To turn off the PB (Parking Brakes) just tap the brake key (number 6). To reactivate PB on the ground just hold the brakes for 3 seconds. Less then 3 seconds and you are just applying an increasing variable brake.

Hi Final, did you take off the Parking Brakes (PB on Status BAR)? When the brakes are on the thrust spoiler is set to full. That will happen both on the ground and in the air. The air brakes allows you to do some stall turns when climbing and a cobra maneuver.

so uhh, any way to get the spoilers to actually deactivate so i can move?

Welcome back, nice work as always.
