New Version in the works as of AUG 2020
I know this one is a little buggy since the most recent updates, but if anything it's something pretty to shoot at. Version 2.0 is coming along just fine.
Controls
- Group 1,2,3,4: different rail-guns
- VTOL: Up/Down
- Trim: Left/Right
Hey guys so for the ground object competition I decided to build something that I'm pretty sure a good portion of the Simple Planes community has encountered at some point in time. If you don't know it's based off a mega structure from Ace Combat 4 called Stonehenge. It was intended to shoot down asteroids, which I pretty sure if this thing was ever part of a Simplelandia RP would definitely not be used as some kind of crazy rail-gun/flak cannon. Anyways it not a high detailed version, pushing almost 600 parts I still want it to be something you can place in game without crashing it (or my laptop). Of course it's not just a pretty piece of scenery. If you really want to, feel free to take control, or you can recreate your favorite missions from Ace Combat, maybe spawn in a squadron of hostile SU-37's.

@EchoWhiskey11 Sounds cool
@JDog3106 If it helps you out, I've been testing the old model on the Maywar Sand Dunes Take Off Site, but yeah, Bandit Airport is a no go. Even at a 1/3rd scale model there's not many places it'll fit.
Oh geez, building the newest version. Hang on lil' computer, this is going to be fun one. Wondering if anyone has any ideas on making a turret auto aim?
@EchoWhiskey11 Okay, thanks.
@JDog3106 I set up in Mywar (of course), but I had to make a unique location. It's not a small build, but I'm working on more computer friendly.
@EchoWhiskey11 Why does it explode anywhere expect at snow stone?
Do you think you’d redo this with the new cannon update?
@P0TET0Z hey thanks, and I'm happy the community had some fun with it. Really enjoyed the competition.
SIZE: 10/10
BUILDING: 10/10
DETAILS: 10/10
TOTAL; 30/30
@EchoWhiskey11 hey bud had the Pounder coming along?
It is very s’plosive and has 1 shot per 5 minutes. :( but still really cool!
I want to thank the community for their great approval and upvotes for this build. This dirt circle with cannons sticking out if it played a huge role in my interest in planes as a child. I never really had an interest in gigantic, borderline war crime flak cannons rail guns that shot down planes, but its kind of funny to think how those go hand in hand.
@MintLynx Good point, I'm actually working on an updated version with more detail. So if anything else I'll get a chance to test out the theory. I'll have one less cannon on the new build so I can save in parts there, cannon 4 won't do anything like the source material, and I'll have to build a debris wall, but I'll have to play around with the XML side. Plus after playing around with a cannon the firing mechanism could be simpler. Thanks for the advice though.
<< oh yeah, just weave through the heavy fire, WHAT ARE YOU NUTS !! >>
@EchoWhiskey11 In theory a large build can be mobile friendly. Based on what's shown in that post it seems like a big part of what makes a build potentially taxing on a system is collision and drag calculations.
@Simpleplaner656 will do, this one is more of a proof of concept. Next step is to get the part count down and refine the controls. I wanted mobile friendly but I'm starting to think that might not be possible.
@ViciousTNT It will probably slice it in half, where the real Stonhedge is like a hammer that makes things go boom this one is more like a Katana, what ever it hits it goes through, though doing drive by's with turret mounted on ships is fun.
But can it one shot Arsenal Birds?
@EchoWhiskey11 perhaps auto turrets?
Look at minecraftpoweeer's post
Cool!....Hit damn it!
"5..4..3..2..1..Impact!"
Noice
Thank god for making this
@Carbonfox1 Awesome, thanks I just saw it now.
Oh wow, your stonehenge build was in my newsfeed on the google homepage, lol
Congrats
