Jamees Plane v9

150 SimpleJames  6.4 years ago

I give all credit to "Sarpanitu" for the cockpit. I just downloaded his "Cockpit-MK4.1 (Easy Install)," because I could not be bothered to make my own. (I'm lazy XD)

I also give credit to "KyuSha" for bringing my attention to, and the use of, the infinite fuel block in his "Useful Parts" design. (For a challenge, try to figure out which fuel block has the infinite fuel) This is also explains why my plane has an unusual empty weight.

I know this plane is up to a ridiculous version right now. But I won't stop. This is the plane that has stuck with me ever since I got simple planes. Every update (& new idea) I improve upon it to make it more superior than any of my other designs, making my "Jamees Plane," my ultimate plane.

Superseding version 8.3, My new version looses the (personally confusing)* VTOL design in favour of more manoeuvrability and aesthetics. Making the wings look somewhat more natural and thinning the fuselage out for efficiency. I also added an extra vertical stabiliser (Rudder) for increased stability at low speed, & when exiting banked turns.

As always, you can change the weapon layout to whatever you like. Keep in mind the increased drag from larger weapons will decrease the manoeuvrability.

*I PERSONALLY find the VTOL design is not reliable or intuitive enough to make the upsides worth it. If you like the VTOL design, and the concept is still popular, I might make another version.
