Interior 
. New exterior is further down the road. Just tweaks and peaks for the time being now that it’s Max based.
Thanks for the kind words!
Oh - I thought the exterior might have been upcoming (ish) as I remember reading about a model you guys were looking into. But yes, the interior is going to be super clean by the looks of it 
Yes, we’re still talking about it. It’ll take some work once we get it to the time we have it implemented, though.
Should have some new interior renders to post here soon. The level of detail is crazy good.

Are control surfaces supposed to map 1:1 to joystick range, if I am still using the game’s default curves? Then I pitch up or down, the elevators hit their maximum range at maybe 50% of the joystick. With fly-by-wire off. That normal?
Thanks for reaching out. Yes, with FBW off, the mapping is 1:1. There’s an issue with the animation variables that I haven’t figured out entirely yet. But it’s just an animation quirk and has no affect on the flight dynamics.
Awesome work all round, what a great add-on! I also work in Blender and noticed some of your earlier comments about glass etc, not sure if they’re fixed yet but if you’d like all the secret sauce on how to get them looking right with reflections, rain etc, drop me a PM any time, I can share the settings to get them working for you.
Keep it up, the Raptor looks like a superb addition to MSFS!

Thank you!
I also agree with @DEAN01973, I have downloaded it to test, and I’m really liking it. Keep up with the great work @evanburnsdev!

I agree with @CodenameJack447 this aircraft is amazing. I have been playing with the engine thrust and parameters a bit and got it up to Mach 3.2 at FL37K It shakes a little with the autopilot on at that speed. Working on Mach 4 if I can do it.
A little secret to enable ludicrous speed is the variable drag_coef_zero_lift_mach_tab in the flight_model.cfg. Play with those values to cheat your way up to a CTD if you like.
Edit: “Disclamer: Changing the above value will completely do away with any realistic flight dynamics of the aircraft”

Yeah been playing with the settings a bit, it seems Mach 3.2 is about the fastest I can get it and keep it stable on the ground and at cruising altitude. The plane is amazing, best supersonic plane yet for FS2020.
Let me add I have been in this community since 1995 and projects like this are the FS community I remember.

Glad you’re enjoying it. Hope we don’t disappoint!
Downloaded the latest version and took a short flight out of Miramar. It is a pleasure to fly this plane. Low altitude flight is a blast. It has come a long way.

Wow - I haven’t flown the 0.3 update until now and flying around and landing had me awe struck on the improvements from my last release I tested. It feels so good! Nicely done Evan
