Dino Cattaneo has been known for his military aircraft for quite some time now.  Perhaps you've downloaded his freeware F14, S3B, T45C, F35 or others over the last decade.

I bought his latest creation, the M-346 'Master' for about 25 USD (on the marketplace because I forgot about Simmarket!).  I'm really enjoying it.  And I'd recommend it!  While it is limited to traditional navigation (you can load a MSFS flight planner route from the world map I believe), I've had some of the most fun in this thing that I've ever had in the sim.  The glass cockpit contains very readable instruments and they are also fps friendly.  The jet itself is extremely agile and quite fast even though it is a trainer.  With an MMO (maxiumum mach number) of 1.2 - you'll be sure to get to where you need to go in a jiffy!  There is also an autopilot capable of holding ALT, HDG and can fly an ILS coupled.  I'm not certain if it is Flight Into Known Icing capable (FIKI) but I did find a de-mister switch in the RH console.  I did bind windshield heat to a key for my own personal use.  I've flown this plane on a variety of sorties over the last few days including a HI-TACAN approach into Whidbey Island NAS.  I've never done that in a civilian sim (it's similar to a VOR approach but usually starts above FL180).  It may have been possible in P3D though I never tried.  The aircraft also features lovely interior lighting and dimmable formation lighting (for those NVG night flights).  The HUD is collimated (I use Track IR) and the symbology was quite advanced - for me at least- you might need to peruse the 60 page manual to see what everything means. 

It comes with several unique liveries and the usual site has some excellent user repaints as well.  There are some optional payloads you can setup too.

It's not a completely "study level" jet but it's quite affordable and just an all-around excellent addon - use a gentile touch on the flight controls for this one!

I purchased this as well, and I love it. Well worth the price. Everything is very well done, from the textures, the 3d modeling, the sounds, and the flight model. A real joy to fly for sure.

Yep... it is my go to Fighter Jet aircraft. It seems to do everything well for what it is. 

I think it's a worthwhile purchase, too.   It doesn't let you enter a flight plan within the plane, which is a drawback, but I like everything else about the aircraft.

Looks a lot like the AlphaJet 🙂

Cute !

I have been considering this for some time, so Ryan might have just pushed me over the edge!  

I assume military loadouts will be available if purchased outside of the marketplace.

EDIT:  Also available on Just Flight for those who like to gather and spend their loyalty points, and also only £23.99 rather than 30 Euro at Simmarket (Currently 26.16 Euro).

One review commented on an annoying clicking sound in the cockpit. 
Not sure if @ryanbatc can comment on this?  It might have been fixed. 
At least there are always good and regular updates from IndiaFoxEcho when needed - Well supported products from Dino.

I haven't bought anything from IndiaFoxtEcho before. Anyone got any of their other military addons? They've also made the F-35. Then there's the Just Flight Hawk T1 trainer (I had that one in XP11) - anyone got that one? There's also a few military jet from DC Designs - F-14, F-15, AV-8B. The only military jet I've tried in MSFS so far is Asobo's F/A-18. When I need something fast nowadays I tend to jump into the Vertigo.

Yeah I thought the same but for the price I wouldn't have expected that function.

Yeah I've bought a few over the years and the MB331 or whatever came out right away when MSFS was released.  This M346 is his best so far.

Doesn't radio navigation work in this plane?

Being a fast jet, it's not my cup of tea in MSFS, but there's no denying it looks absolutely first class. Dino has produced some masterpieces over the years.

We've got quite the range of quality aircraft addons at the moment. The problem is having the time to fly them all 🙂 For several months now I've been flying GA exclusively but I wouldn't mind something much faster occasionally to do some exhilarating valley runs.

I have to say, I flew under the Charles W. Cullen Memorial Bridge.

Yes traditional nav works, VOR, TCN, LOC/ILS.

I had to look it up: The bridge is 2,600 feet (790 m) long and 107.66 feet (32.81 m) wide, with a span of 950 feet (290 m) and overhead clearance of 45 feet (14 m). 

I'm to chicken to fly under MSFS bridges - never know if there's air or brick underneath them.
