Please tell me if it could hit 760mph level. Or I may just be dreaming.

    Oh, thanks for the good tip. But...

    When I raced your P-58 and my SSM 2.2, my plane overtook yours. But a few seconds later, yours caught up.

    So I think the difference between FP 80% and 80% VP is tiny.

    Can you please tell me its true?

    Oh yeah, I'll try the 1.7x thickness and 125in diameter. @Typhlosion130

    @Alienbeef0421 trust me on this. the AI doens't do good with the pitch plus this helps your accelleration. jsut set the pitch to fixed 80%. going to 90 or 100 doesn't even help your speed any how.

    @Typhlosion130 Doesn't the AI stick to 100%? I set the pitch range scale to 75% (thats what the VTOL is for) so yeah, I still don't know how it got so fast when your plane is much more trim :D

    The one part your'e missing is optimizing the propellers. you need to set each engine to 125 in diameter 1.7 thickness. fixed pitch at 80% excetp the one on the rear. which you set the thickness to 1.7 keep the diamiter the same and set it to -80%

    The nose and prop system just look similar but it is definitely original so I'm not accusing you

    Yeah it would with 17 fast moving propellers and with the high speed and manoeuvrability

    @LiamW Haven't seen the Shooting Star yet... I just tried @Typhlosion130 's camera trick, and added 17 props... I also tried manual pitch control (I forgot to set the pitch control to Throttle, pitch scale 75%)... Turns out my plane lags like hell...
