I’m a big fan of Macross and Robotech and had added mods for it previously at https://flightsim-squadron.itch.io/macross, but they have been static though with no animation. I’ve been meaning to try to add the awesome animation of the transformation from Fighter to Gerwalk mode and below is my current attempt. Still work in progress but…

Landspeeder for Star Wars Day
After adding some other hover cars, I thought this would be a good one for Star Wars Day 🙂 Yes, you could also punch the throttle and fly it like a plane. We won’t judge you if you do 🙂 Available at https://eggman28.itch.io/flight-sim-star-wars-ships/devlog/249476/landspeeder-for-star-wars-day-2021 Awesome model from here. To manage expectations, this was a quick addition…
Flying QR Code
I thought this would be a fun one to add based on the flying QR code drone formations seen lately, such as this one in Shanghai. So it’s just a QR code (that links to this website) that’s an image texture wrapped around a cube 🙂 Needs to be fully visible such as in shot…
Lotus Esprit Hover
I loved the Lotus Esprit in “The Spy Who Loved Me” especially when it converted to the submarine mode. While it’s not a submarine, I think this is better as it flies 🙂 Available here: https://eggman28.itch.io/flight-sim-star-wars-ships Wasn’t really sure which category it should be part of but since the deLorean is in Sc-Fi project, I…
Added vertical take off to Hot Air Balloon
Here we go ! No more having to taxi to take off like a plane 🙂 Using the two engine throttle VTOL method of the F-35B 🙂 Available at: https://eggman28.itch.io/hot-air-balloons/devlog/245413/added-vertical-take-off-to-hot-air-balloon It does take a bit of practice. Failed attempt video: More successful version:
Boba Fett gets vertical take-off
Available at https://eggman28.itch.io/flight-sim-star-wars-ships/devlog/244901/boba-fett-gets-vertical-take-off Trying to add vertical take off to Boba Fett using the same 2 engine flight model used for the VTOL in the F-35B. Test flight video. That landing though 🙂
Testing VTOL with F-35
Some test videos trying out VTOL with the F-35 by controlling a second engine separately. Coming soon to [Update 13/4/21] Available now at https://flightsim-squadron.itch.io/flightsim-aircraft/devlog/242272/f-35b-vtol-first-vertical-take-off-jet-in-msfs Second engine animation triggered with spoiler key. My HOTAS (Thrustmaster 4) only has one throttle stick though so I mapped the second throttle to the rocker. This is where better HOTAS…
Paper Plane
After seeing the awesome cardboard Spitfire , I thought this would be a fun mod to add 🙂 Available here as part of the “Current” Project – https://flightsim-squadron.itch.io/aircraft-current Used one of the models from this collection. Added some paper texture to make it stand out a bit more. Usual disclaimers – no working cockpit, not…
Airwolf – on our list
We loved this show growing up in the 80s along with its awesome intro. After getting a chance to help out a bit on the awesome H135 helicopter and seeing what was possible, we thought this is a mod that we want to try to add too 🙂 Teaser screenshot below and watch this space…
SR-71
Took awhile to get around to this update but the SR-71 finally has animated landing gears now – https://flightsim-squadron.itch.io/flightsim-aircraft Previous version only had static landing gears. Testing animating them in Blender: Also added a (not yet functional) cockpit from one of our other jet fighters. It’s not the SR-71’s actual cockpit but I thought it…
