Sorrell HiperBype modernised 4.3

228k RamboJutter  5.3 years ago
Auto Credit Based on EternalDarkness's General Aviation Challenge [CLOSED]

This is not a 1:1 scale replica, i always liked the look of the Hiperbipe but always felt it was too small with the pilot and passenger squashed in. I have thus created this larger Hiperbipe with a modern cockpit etc. I have used a similar colour scheme to a real Hiperbipe. Ag1 for flaps (deploted to start) Ag2 for lights. When flaps are deployed (they are the same control surface as the ailerons) roll is very limited, once flaps retracted roll increases, its a querk.

Wiki bit here for the original Hiperbipe

It does work on my mobile as well (Samsung s6) but takes a while to load, patience my young padawan.

    @Carbonfox1 press ag1, when flaps are down it limits roll because of sp physics

    @ChiChiWerx well I bought the sp app for my phone Samsung s6. It does take a while to load, but load it does. Just leave it to load and it works seemingly (unless Apple cause issues).

    @ChiChiWerx not sure, I had to scale the seats up but barring them and the usual control surface scaling everything is normal. It does take a little longer than normal to load but the game does that to me sometimes... try deleting the seats see if it loads, otherwise I'll try and go over it later to see what's up (it does load ok on my pc)

    Ugh. The second of your builds I haven’t been able to fly as for some mod you’ve made—not sure what. I can download it but when I try to progress beyond the designer, it just sits there...mocking me. The other one I had the same problem with was the Fairey P.75 Vietnam special. It’s a shame as I really wanted to fly both. I wonder if there’s anything in common with them both? This is with my iPhone 8, which usually will handle up to 2,000+ parts, but not those two!

    @EternalDarkness no worries, enjoy. Sorry for load times, i had to scale a few bits, barring that its fun =) Thanks for hosting a competition where i had to build something outside of my normal comfort zone.
