This is the PC version I promised. I didn't want to spend anymore time on it even though there were lots of things I would have liked to add, but I want to move onto new projects. This version comes with additional external and internal details including a cockpit, hanger bay seating, 3 care packages using AG4, AG5 and AG6 in that order. Also the bay door have been replaced with a thin fuselage block so vehicles can be driven on more easily. It still works on fast mobile devices.

    @Authors Ah okay. Sorry for bothering you but how do I find the exact coordinates though? How do you build such scaled planes, I been wondering this for a while now.

    @SilentRecom The position coordinates of the part you want to move. The file with the same name as your airplane saved name, or the editor file might be more safe for recovering after making a mistake. Takes me about a week normally bit sometimes more for extra detail. I sometimes take a break between each build while I enjoy downloading other people's planes.

    @Authros what do I edit in the xml file? And what xml file? Also, I need help. When I adjust the positioning on the xml file it won't work. Btw I love your planes, how long does it take to make one? Also thanks for the reply :)

    @SilentRecom create the flaps and rotators as one piece and put them on the top of your plane then edit the xml file and reposition the parts. They should still work separated.

    @Authros how do you get the flaps to work?

    How do you get the flaps to move with the rotators at the bottom of the plane?

    @Puredeath i think that parachutes would be a good edition, you could have your "muscle car thingy" drop out of the cargo then land safely on the ground like in fast and the furious 7, i just got a great idea from that that would be a great challenge.

    @Authros just a question, have you ever built a flying vehicle that can drop off a land vehicle

    Well, as close to automated as possible is the goal. I guess vtol control could push thrust up or down, then on the front/back of a tube holding the vtol nozzles there be floppy rotators which could make sure when banking its still negating gravity? Primarily the most difficult task is getting it to supply the right amount of thrust.

    @LjSpike I'm not sure that would be possible without some sort of human intervention to control. Basically the standard VTOL engine with some additional directional control on the thrusters. The new props are good with governors, perhaps hidden one in each corner with enough power to give lift and the blade pitch angle controlled with pitch, roll and yaw.

    @Authros Im back from holiday and got a bit inspired to try and make some fun little ships, I was wondering if you might help me on creating an 'anti gravity drive' (litterally just something to negate the effect of gravity so it doesnt fall...im presuming some setup of floppy rotators would be needed, then some sort of thruster setup, so the thrusters always pointing down thrusting up). It was because I played way to much wipeout 2048 on my PS VITA.

    I have them all high except for the physics, and and yes I had the same problem with the mobile version. @PhilipTarpley

    @dragonking Not sure why that would be happening for you. What settings are you using and have you had the same problem with the mobile version I uploaded?

    So, I tried to fly this plane, and all that it did was get of the runway and plummet to the ground. Please help. :)

    @puredeath I'm having some difficulties with this fuselage size, it's going to be too big for the hangar once I put a tail on it, I'm going to use it for a submarine instead and down size again. If it's not going to be big enough we'll have to work on making smaller vehicles instead.
