    Hi friends!
    Please don’t judge too harshly – I’m a bit of a noob when it comes to modding and creating content. This is actually my very first mod! :)
    From time to time, mostly for my own fun and gameplay needs, I tweak or build upon maps, vehicles, or scripts that you’ve created. And now, I’ve finally decided to upload and share one of those – a long-ago reworked version of my favorite plane. (Link to the original author: https://www.beamng.com/resources/strato-hmx-920-aerobatic-aircraft.39/)

    If I’m not mistaken, the original mod is based on the Zivko Edge 540, a plane known for its amazing aerobatic performance in Red Bull Air Race events. So I thought – why not have something like that in the game?

    Even though I put together the skin a bit clumsily (Photoshop, sorry! ), I also added some new parts to improve the plane’s maneuverability. I replaced the engine sound with one that, in my opinion, sounds the most like the Lycoming IO-540 during gameplay.

    The mod is far from perfect – it still carries some known bugs from the original, like the overly “wobbly” fuselage, and after a crash, the engine sound sometimes stays at the crash site instead of following the plane.
    I’m not sure if I’ll be able to fix these issues (or when), but honestly – they don’t ruin the flying experience for me. Hopefully, they won’t for you either!




    Updated controls:
    A – Rudder Left
    B – Toggle Smoke System
    Right Arrow – Aileron Right
    S – Throttle Decrease
    D – Rudder Right
    Up Arrow – Elevator Down
    Left Arrow – Aileron Left
    W – Throttle Increase
    Down Arrow – Elevator Up
    Home – Trim Up
    End – Trim Down
    Delete – Toggle Trim Mode

    Wishing you awesome flight stunts and smooth skies!

    Hi friends!
    I finally managed to create a new engine control logic, so here's an update! :)
    As planned, I've added throttle control via holding a key — meaning, if you hold W, the engine revs up; if you release it, the RPM drops. (Throttle Handle Power Control)
    The standard throttle control (set a constant percentage of thrust) is still available too.
    Check out the new control keys.

    This is a change I’ve been planning to implement for a long time, and I finally pulled it off.
    Personally, I play using a keyboard — and for me, this control method is ideal.
    Thanks to quick throttle response with a single button, a whole new world of maneuvers becomes possible :)
    It’s definitely fun!

    In the next update, I’ll finally add the Monster livery (I think it’ll give the plane a more aggressive look), and maybe a couple of liveries of legendary RB pilots.
    Have a great flight and awesome turns! :)

    • W – Throttle (Hold to increase, release to decrease)
    • T – Throttle Increase (Standard mode)
    • G – Throttle Decrease (Standard mode)
    • A – Rudder Left
    • D – Rudder Right
    • → (Right Arrow) – Aileron Right
    • ← (Left Arrow) – Aileron Left
    • ↑ (Up Arrow) – Elevator Down
    • ↓ (Down Arrow) – Elevator Up
    • B – Toggle Smoke System
    • Home – Trim Up
    • End – Trim Down
    • Delete – Toggle Trim Mode

    P.S.: Are you going to post this under your name too, Antonkrd1?

    Modland reuploaders reupload all sorts of stuff, that's how we end up with 10 copies of the same exact mod uploaded by different people

    Exactly, but this particular scoundrel doesn’t understand the meaning of the word “theft” and even demanded proof of my authorship :D Moreover, I uploaded this mod to both ModLand and here at the same time. But the moderation process here took a very long time, so ModLand gets the priority.

    Don't waste your time on him, I'm sure it wasn't personal, he just does that to everyone.
    Meanwhile other people appreciate your efforts!

    You're probably right. By the way, thanks!
