@Brencool35 lol
@Jakeisboss ok?
Bro I like just made a hellcat yours look nice but mine😍
@Brencool35 don’t worry I am too. It really depends on what you’re going for. Sometimes you just want to do hammer heads and other times you want the most realistic aircraft you can get
@Mustang51 Thank you! I'll say Im definetly guilty of making planes way to Manoeurable, but hey, its fun!
@Brencool35 I would say this one is pretty decent. It wouldn’t be comfortable to turn tightly at max speed and the pilot would probably come close to blacking out but when I do my test it performs well. I put the throttle at 85%, fly to 3000ft and then turn with the stick 90% of the way back. I then see how long it takes for the plane to turn around. This one is slightly too manoeuvrable but it’s better than honestly 90% of the realistic replicas on SP. The hard part about SP planes (for most builds at least) is you have to find the sweet spot between realistic turn rate and fun. People tend to not like planes as much when they don’t turn 360 degrees in less than 10 seconds hahaha. Manoeuvrability is a decent chunk of the challenge but it’s not everything though! This plane is pretty damn realistic overall
@Mustang51 would you say this plane has realistic flight characteristics? Or would it kill the pilot immediatly haha
Very nice, love the Hellcat
nice plane bra
@Mustang51 NP!
Very nice. Thank you for participating!
