Just a notice, + planes I still haven’t finished + something I discovered

Hi everyone, I’m going to be taking a break for a week or two so I can catch up with my schoolwork before the end of the school year. As such, I would like to reveal some of my prototypes in my saves, as well as a new concept for bombing stuff.


Prototype no. 1
This aircraft is my first prototype, I created this sometime in my last break (probably September or October), it never flew properly due to the location of the engines and the wings, so I gave up on it. I may revisit this design someday.


Prototype no. 7a
This one is much more recent, I created this around the time of the Egret to try a new type of cockpit canopy out, but it was hard to do because the fuselage blocks cannot be adjusted in a way where you can make a tapered trapezoidal shape, so I scrapped it.


Prototype no. 6
I actually may continue this because it’s kinda needed for my series of prewar planes. It doesn’t fly properly yet, though, so I might as well put it here.


Anyways, about the bombing thing, I found out that XML modding a cannon to only poop out it’s projectiles at 1m/s makes an effective bomb bay thing. I never seen it done on SP before (unless someone tells me otherwise), and I may definitely use this in a future plane. If it’s not been done before, please mention/tag me! I want to see what other people would do with this concept I may have discovered.

Anyways, thanks for being patient with me, and being a great community, I’ll see y’all in a week or two!

    @TurtlesThatFly can you send me a link to prototype 7a and 7b (i presume there is a 7b given there is a 7a)

    Try setting the fire rate to -1

    @TheMachinist I found that it does that if you only set it to 0m/s, which is why I made it poop out shells at 1m/s so that the shell actually exits the bomb pooper quicker.

    A TutorialPlane with only one of these bomb poopers and at the same settings (except ammo settings) do SO much more damage than my bombers, it's pretty funny
