The SimplePlanes Spirit

Introduction

It's a special time for me to reach the milestone of 100k points, with my account approaching 6 years of experience and SimplePlanes 2 coming out shortly. Six years ago, in my first build, I attempted a path that few had considered: to focus on the depiction of paint jobs and challenging textures of a replica. Six years later, I want to conclude my aircraft building journey in the game with one of the most complex goals in the pantheon of real-world aircraft. The replica of the B-2 "Spirit" bomber features not only the focus on the outside shape but a joint effort of in-game experience. With the spirit of challenging higher, newer goals, I plan to bring more innovative, programmed, and authentic builds to the brand-new generation of SimplePlanes.

Acknowledgements

I'd like to especially thank GhostTeam for his crucial participation in building the cockpit structure. His careful, patient arrangement and organization of more than 1,500 different types of parts build up the detailed, high-quality part of the aircraft. Equally important, ASBE, DEC12, WIZARD2017, NewmanSTAR, and SARACONIKaviationIndustry offered specified assistance by providing parts and assistance in problem-solving. Without their efforts, the replica project cannot be achieved.
