The wasp with flight control system and working missiles.
The FCS Makes it extremely maneuverable at low speeds just like the hornet. This includes auto-extending leading and trailing flaps, auto-angle of tail elevators according to AoA, and SAS when under 125m/s. You can pull AoA up to 80 degrees when below 100m/s.
The Interceptor missiles automatically lock on to the target in front of the aircraft and an indication of locked target can be seen in first person view as a green circle.The name of the locked target is also displayed as a message. The target will remain locked until a new target is acquired.
Note that missiles fired at an angle grater than 45 degrees off-boresight or within distance of 2 seconds times aircraft speed to tatget are likely to lose control. It may also not explode if relative speed to target is too low.
If you just want the missiles, take a look here

@Gozinya This is just where it started. All my following wasp upgrade crafts have this system.

@s5ehfr9 oh,well that's how I usually do things lol. I understand still thanks for posting this amazing craft

@nico412 It's hard to come up with a tutorial because I just experimented with everything that I thought could work and kept the ones that actually worked.

Very nice idk how i missed this. i really liked it and it flies extremely well
Can you do a tutorial on how to do fly by wire codes? -

@LoboindustriesAerospace @LDRA @SelectAKey Since so many of you want to install the missile onto your craft, I will make a seperate craft with only the missiles and the radar. Do keep in mind that the Interceptor missiles are direct derivatives of the original proof-of-concept prototype missiles, and missiles with much better performance are coming shortly in the future.

@s5ehfr9
Try adding that program to other planes and it doesn't work the same add them to missiles and they don't auto-target, target assurance radar doesn't work, am I doing something wrong, or doesn't it work for the other planes? -

It is the best missile firing program I have ever seen, it is just what I needed, my friend @SmurfResearchX made me a program for cruise missiles, and with this launch program the aircraft is complete, excellent work

@weebabyseamus I was also shocked by how maneuverable this thing is once I've written the basic codes controlling the tail stabilizers. I came up with the idea for this craft just after buying the DCS Hornet for a month, and I do think that it "feels like" the real hornet. Though it has approximately twice the maximum AoA and G-force.

This is so amazing I was pulling off moves like I was flying this in DCS. That DLC made me fully appreciate the capabilities of the F-18.

I know, but for me, a total dunce!
I find the vizzy programming you've done totally amazing.
And I hope I get this good in the near future. Though I really doubt that. -

@kerothehero Actually I didn't change its shape at all , so it is still a stable design like the original wasp. Though the SAS at low speeds is actively stabilizing it.

@SelectAKey Yes, but the installation process is quite complex. The missile controllers(the nosecone) must have different name from each other and the rear rotator must have their input changed to the corresponding nosecones. then you have to set the activation groups for each engine, detacher and controller. Finally, you have to broadcast "MssileSetTarget" to the whole craft with target craft ID before launching it.

Nice, you added the angular rates onto the pitch input.
I made a similar program!
