So, i found myself messing around with the XML editor at 3 AM, and i stumbled across this propeller engine, which honestly looks pretty cool
Doing some research i found out that this engine was actually part of the pre-release version of SimplePlanes, but did not make it into the final version (probably due to the lack of properties it has compared to the propeller engines we have now), which is a shame because, honestly, these engines look pretty neat
There's pretty much nothing else to say about this craft other that it's your average sea plane. It flies, it floats, and has 48 parts, 4 parts less than the stock simple seaplane that comes preloaded in the game
Controls: standard
Recommended takeoff speed: 110 mph on land, 85 mph on water

I honestly did NOT expect this to blow up in such a way lmao. Thanks everyone for the upvotes :)
This gotta be the plane of the year
if you change the part type to engine-prop and a number of 3 or higher and start the game, your buttons and controls softlock including the menu button, and the plane still moves
this engine was definitely available in the regular game, ig uess they removed it at some point
Hi
@Graingy
Thanks :D
@SPWithLizzie It's the same but with a smaller propeller and produces less thrust.
@Graingy
Wait what's the other one???????????
Illegal
Oh hell yeah, a DHC-2 Beaver float plane!
This engine was removed in update 1.2
Enjoy those pieces while they’re still available
beaver ahh
It looks like a de havaland beaver
WTF is the mph
didn't expect it to be 48 parts lol nice
DHC-2 vibes
@Pleco123 looks cool
@AviationLoverGEEK444 i had that in my mind
Wow cool
A de haveland beaver
this propeller was indeed used in the game, however it got removed from the parts list (but remained in the game) when the props we have now came out
My Realflight memories!
Very interesting! :00
Great build btw! Looks lovely :)
the fact that this appeared right next to the seaplane challenge is funny
