A6M2 Testbed

I am trying put a new engine throttle input. Please test for whether you favour it or not.

I intend for a slow spool and a more drastic speed difference when climbing and turning.

    Yeah I see your reason for doing this. A very good one at that. So just keep up what your doing and you'll hit platinum in no time!@AnoniMosu

    It feels more realistic to fly, especially on takeoff. I think that far too often people overpower their planes that don't feel realistic to fly. I know that I make that mistake a lot, but this plane was actually very fun to fly and I felt like I was flying an airplane, not a missile. It did seem to have a case of spontaneous explosion every time I tried to land it, but that could have been due to user error.

    I intend my builds to fill the ever declining low part count niche. It has always been in my best interest to maximise functional detail and reach the simple, but accurate look and performance, with as little parts as possible.

    For future builds, although I will not personally be adding decals, cockpit frame (unless necessary) or details of similar nature, I will optimise my builds to cater the possibility. Moreover, I welcome anyone who wishes to add them.

    All and all, a simple build is all they are, I hope you enjoyed them. Whether by flying them yourself, or enacting mass dogfight with them.

    Yep. Your aircraft is also very accurate in shape to the real thing. It maybe lacks a little detail though. But it looks great as a simple build!@AnoniMosu

    @AnoniMosu you’re most welcome! It’s one of the few aircraft I actually saved into my planes folder :)

    @Mustang51 Entering a 180 degree steep turn with an entry speed of 230 mph, the fighter could complete the turn in 5.62 seconds, with an exit speed from the turn of 189 mph. At slower speeds, the turning radius was 612 feet. FACT CHECK

    @BlitzBombers @Mustang51 it may fly like a bus or truck but hey, at least, its stable in-flight

    Actually many people do. BogdanX, JamesPlanesii, Rambojutter, the list goes on. If this person wishes to make aircraft that fly realistically then so be it. @BlitzBombers

    @BlitzBombers Lol people who want to. It’s a game where you are free to build whatever you want in whatever way you want to. If the creator wants to build their plane’s realistically, who are you to say they can’t?

    @Hedero yeah but who plays this game for realism hmmm?

    Ok, so it might be a little sluggish. Real aircraft don't fly like magical fairies though. They don't generally zip around the sky like a monster. I would say this is probably closer to the realistic side of flight performance.@BlitzBombers

    Uhh dude. What are you trying to get at here? Are you saying that the aircraft doesn't turn quick enough? Or that it turns too quickly?@BlitzBombers

    @BlitzBombers This was manoeuvrable back then hahaha. The roll rate on this one seems a little too slow but not by a lot. Aircraft take a lot longer to turn than people seem to think, especially from that time.

    @Mustang51 combat aircraft are suppose to be maneuverable or am i wrong?

    @BlitzBombers how is a 360 degree turn in 15 seconds flying at 200mph a bus? Real airplanes actually take time to turn

    @BlitzBombers it’s a fairly realistic turn radius. Definitely flies in a more realistic way than 95% of the builds on SP

    smh looks good but to be honest this thing has the turn radius of a bus

    Wow this is really good. It’s so simple but it really feels like a zero. It’s perfect for an AI aircraft because of how realistic the performance is
