I made this engine for my WIP Sopwith Triplane,
It is a replica of the 9 Cylinder Clerget B engine that powered said triplane, and a few hundred more planes.
To operate, press G (or retract landing gear).
This is as close as I can get to the real thing whilst staying under around 500 parts, and no, My triplane will sadly not be mobile friendly,
I havent finished the cockpit and it has already 1000 parts! So in the mean time instead of not uploading for months and months (how long I think the tripe will take) I will be uploading some simpler (but still very detailed) WWI Aeroplanes in my new branded (not really)
'WWI series" -very original naming doctrine as you can see.
One is allready complete and i will upload it when ive finished the second and uploaded something I dug up from my save files.
Due to popular request, the series will feature planes that are made of 90% WING in my old style, mixed with some new parts for detail. Im very glad wing building was suggested to me as I forgot how incredibly satisfying it is and how good it can look!
Thats all folks,
Enjoy the engine!!
:D

Thanks man! @PlanesAndThings2
Thanks @RailfanEthan
Sweet beans
@KerlonceauxIndustries Gratz!
@PlanesOfOld I think I fixed it!
@KerlonceauxIndustries Haha im downloading holdfast my internet is so slow sometimes that it says it will take over 100 years to download... TalkTalk will be geting a VERY strongly worded letter! Well at least I have internet i suppose!
@PlanesOfOld And I'm sitting here, waiting for World of Tanks to start downloading again, after I shut down my PC yesterday, and still nothing
@KerlonceauxIndustries Sounds like a cool plan!
@PlanesOfOld I might try something like that. I'm considering starting a line of tanks, starting with some big, bulky, slow, Tog-like WWI super landship, and ending with a modern-day main battle tank.
@KerlonceauxIndustries Try making a fictional decaplane (or any multiplane) in a WWI or 1912/13 style using my engine ;) Remember to set throttle to LandingGear so you can get the full rotary blip throttle experience! It will probably be hard but probably worth it!
@PlanesOfOld Lol, and here I am, still trying to thing of something that won't force me to smash a desk with my head, and yet will still look good.
@KerlonceauxIndustries HahaThe engine valves lag a bit allready, I went abit overboard when I made the dials, I only have two at the moment. I doubt that it will fly very well, or work very well, but it will look AMAZING
@PlanesOfOld I bet the finished aircraft will utterly crash my PC
@KerlonceauxIndustries thx
Beautiful...
