Wiki
TIE fighters are fictional starfighters existing in the Star Wars universe.
Propelled by Twin Ion Engines, TIE fighters are fast, agile, yet fragile starfighters produced by Sienar Fleet Systems for the Galactic Empire.
Features
- Cockpit View
- Vertical take off and landing system
- pretty much accurate performance
- Blaster bolts have accurate speed 1200 m/s (dont remember source)
- Low part count
- Almost accurate scale (its a tiny bit smaller)
- semi accurate sound (?) (used the engine which makes a similar sound to the actual one)
- matching max atmospheric speed
Controls
- Ag-1+Retract gear to take off, extend gear to land
- Ag-2 speedbrake use at speeds below 600kph
Take off
To take off press 1 and retract gear, once you reach a favourable altitude then throttle up until you reach 200 kph. Then deactivate AG-1
Landing
To land first activate AG-1 then decelarate to 100-200 kph and press 2 to come at near complete stop. Once you've stoped then Extend gear to land. Lower your speed the faster you descend so keep your speed very low when landing
known issues:
i know the cockpit aint the best.
i couldnt make perfect radial thirds for the canopy window.
never managed to make a working access hatch.
constructive criticism is welcome
the blue trail at engine exhaust nozzle is intentional since its supposed to look like the ionised air that propells the craft.

What an amazingly detailed craft!!
starts vibing to the imperial march
Dude this thing is a legend I destroyed the carrier and both destroyers in one try and dogged like five missiles.
@Kiwitostes thanks.
its a few airbrakes with the maximum value set on a very high number, very easy actually
Man, I absolutely love this build!
I'm fascinated by the airbrake feature. Is that done with gyros? How??
I love how you miniaturized and hid all the stuff that actually make it fly and achieved such a neat look.
Good job also on the guns. Those are very convincing green lasers!
@Tomhu its alright with a little more practise you will be able to build one that surpasses mine just dont rush things
Wow yours is way better then mine. i also uploaded one but its more simple and has a weird thing where it keeps turning to the right automaticly.
@Bobofboblandia cool
@toxicgamer88 here's what I found (off the internet): The TIE bomber was capable of carrying at least one of the following payloads, for a total of 15 metric tons: sixteen concussion missiles, twelve proton torpedoes, eight proton rockets, six space mines, four proton bombs, sixty-four thermal detonators, thousands of propaganda pamphlets, or supply canisters.
@toxicgamer88 lol, and I just looked it up, yeah, I think they have proton torpedoes...
@Bobofboblandia No idea but you can look it up on the internet. Also since you mentioned a tie bomber i think i know what my next build is gonna be
aren't tie bombers an exception? @toxicgamer88
@toxicgamer88 ?
@Bobofboblandia well the internet proves you wrong
@toxicgamer88 it has proton torpedoes, just because movies show only the Rebels using it does not mean the Empire uses them too, no offence.
@Bobofboblandia no, why should it?
also, does this have proton torpedoes?
imperial march intensifies
@desiboy17 actually I am gonna prove you right
Make a Life-size Death Star.
You won’t.
(Prove me wrong)
Very cool....
I have a request:
Incom UT-60D U wing
This looks awesome, dude...
Wait should I remove the upvote to keep it at order 66, or keep it to help get to 69... very hard choice here D: I don’t wanna remove it because it’s just so good
66 > 69
