    I didn’t see that! It’s very cool. I made one of these as well (not posted) and I realised that there is an even smarter way to do it. If you use shocks, the camera/cockpit will move only when the plane actually moves. That way, you won’t move while you’re sitting on the runway. Nevertheless, it makes it even better!

    @Mustang51 Awesome! did you try out the cockpit system? I think It makes the aircraft feel much more real.

    This is much better! It looks fantastic and it’s a pretty decent flier too. Takeoff is a little rough from the suspension partly but other than that it’s great. Lovely folding wings and nice dive breaks!

    @Mustang51 This is an improved version of my dive bomber, without the blocky bomb bay and a new cockpit system. What do you think?
