Feel free to share other options if you find them later :-)
The only other thing that comes close to the X-44 MANTA & happens to be downloadable w/ a cockpit that opens & landing gear animations is this https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/gd55-johnnychen-mod2-withanimation-0243dff024b04... not the best poly again maybe a skin could help fix a little idk. Any of these would be fun also https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/heavy-vtol-gunship-86d336e0fa6f40329de8cda4a71d8..., https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/a-10-thunderbolt-ii-aka-warthog-highpoly-test-1e... or https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/bubble-ship-oblivion-c1e71fbff8b346d48f7f16f6f30... just for a few ideas. Thanks for the opportunity to share!!! FYI everyone I talk to says that the F-22 Raptor & F-35B VTOL are a lot better than the payware F-15/F-14 & fly nicer! 💯 Big props. I know you didn't do the F-22 but your F-16 is really up there also. Congrats bro.
No problem man your welcome. That one should work as the X-44 MANTA! It would be really sick since all the flaps seem to move also the afterburner has flaps. Hopefully she will fly nice. It's real cool what you are doing & your a big influence on the sim community. I envy your skills. Weather you make it or not I just wanted to thank you for all your hard work on behalf of the community bro!!!
