@ENG1Fail Oh, it’s cool. That’s a very good argument that you designed this plane with facts of the real one !
@SilverStar No but a friend of mine (not the guy in the picture) owns it.
@ENG1Fail Are you flying this plane in real life ?
@SilverStar Thank you for your kind words! I've intentionally kept the braking effect as flipping over is a danger in the real aircraft as well.
Wow. I didn't expect that.
It's a very good build, the cokcpit is very nice (without voids in the panel), the exterior is very nice too. The physics are accurate.
To solve your problem of braking, maybe you can reduce the "Brake" in the xml settings of your wheels...
Anyway Nice job !
This is an amazing build.
You should be very happy with what you’ve created.
The detail in the cockpit is awesome and far above the current standards.
I await your next build :)
