WARNING!!!!!! THIS AIRCRAFT DOES NOT FLY!!!
I tried and tried to make it work but unfortunately it just refuses to cooperate. i apologise profusely. As you may or may not know, this js a replica of the seaplane in Just Cause 3. I tried my best and you’re all free to try to make it fly. If i used XML i probaby could but im away from my PC at the moment.
I believe the issues include:
- The small wings do not produce enough lift
- The engine is not powerful enough (even when i clip two together)
- The floats add too much weight
- It tends to drift sideways when taking off, which isn’t fixable without ruining the original design of the aircraft
That’s probably about it... have fun! (well, as much as you can with a plane that doesn’t fly)

Lol the plane that cannot fly reminds me of the dodo from GTA III
@GreenGiraffeAerospace R.I.P.
@TakicraftCorporation i would try that but unfortunately i’m building on iOS at the moment. i’ll try when i get back on my pc
@MaximusTheMinimus i was actually gonna build the An-225, which is what the cargo plane is based off... but then the game crashed
Did u tryed to set the float's weight to 0 with overload? Maybe that coul'd help. Trust me, cos who knows better the airplane's physic than a guy who is a car builder?! :D
now try the Cargo plane from JC3 lol
@Tang0five i did try that, but it looked incredibly ugly with all the z fighting and it didn’t help all that much. i think the shape of the floats and the weight distribution just screws it up.
Shame it can’t take off, try clipping in more wings to increase lift?
