I’m a shudder flap lover
@asteroidbook345 the engines are smol, next version will be bigger
3 engines for something this large seems like it wouldn't be enough lol
@CatAircraftmanufacturer2 thx bud
@Inuyasha8215 it only happens to me on Wright. It seems to be a problem with the runway that affects my other builds as well, but yes, the weight of the craft adds to the problem
Okay so there is a problem with main gear, the springs break easily whenever I take off, causing the gear bogies to fall off, it happens in either low, medium, or high physics.
@Freerider2142 this is the one
@StarlightFX because I noticed the highlight later
@SemedianIndustries your tagging me 2x XD
@StarlightFX OH GOD
@StarlightFX Arigato gozaimasu, Sensei
@Inuyasha8215 thancc
@SolarisAir Indeed pardner, thx
Gorgeous plane.
@Dastin thank you big man
@Treehippy thanks buddy
@Leviatham I agree to agree, partner
@ThomasRoderick @Tang0five @khajaja thanks kings
OMG That is so beautiful
@KerlonceauxIndustries thank you big man
@WingworksDesignCo so I don't clip too many things while building and so the VTOL slider works realistically. But they automatically retract once you get in the game
OwO
why are the flaps down by default?
@Sovietstrike333 @Treadmill103 thank you kings
@Jake_ appreciated pardner
