Thrust vectoring or drag rudders?

Superb!!

Gotta ask how yaw is controlled. Was building a 'switchblade', but yaw control was virtually impossible...

keep it up!

It flies pretty well in the subsonic speed range. Its a 3d vectoring system with no moving surfaces. Or at least...it was... Once it breaks Mach it just falls apart and wants to fall to earth like a leaf. So, I had to add rudders and elevators, (although I made them transparent so you can't see them...but they are there). Of course, it flies great now, but its just not what I was trying to do. I really would like to get this thing to fly with just 3d vectored thrust and a smart art stab....but no luck. I'll likely end up releasing it anyway, as is. You can download it, delete the rudders and elevators and see if you can get it to work they way its supposed to.

Also, I'm get a period of violent vibration at a certain speed range (with a lot of my planes, not just this one). As I fly through it, the vibrations increase in frequency as they dampen out. Its not limited to this model, some of my other planes do this. Its very frustrating, because I can not seem to dial it out with art stab. Is this the model, or is it that my video card and computer can not keep up with X-Plane 8.11?

You should be able to kill it by altering the artificial stability settings along with the control deflection speed (something around 0.1-0.2 seems to work well). Lower framerates will make this sort of problem worse, I'd definitely keep it 35+ fps & 50 is better.
