@Fygaroh yeah, I tried to do that with low RPM Blasto J-15 Engines, and it did sound kinda good, but it was horrendously laggy and you need hundreds of engines for it to sound good enough

4. If you’re constructing a VTOL Aircraft, it is important to make sure the CoM is directly on top of the CoT, and remember to use VTOL Engines and their complimentary VTOL Thrusters. RCN Nozzles are also important for controlling the aircraft in the air while hovering, place these strategically around the aircraft to gain adequate control. And if you can’t seem to get it right, you can always just use a Gyroscope to make sure the aircraft is always stable while hovering, regardless of where the CoM or CoT is.
I hope some of this helps! And if you’re still a bit confused, there’s always a tutorial in the game’s flight school.
CoM, CoL, and CoT are your creation’s Center Of Mass, Center Of Lift, and Center Of Thrust respectively. The CoM is the focal point on the aircraft where if you were to place it on a balance point, the aircraft would not tip over, and it would be perfectly stationary. The CoL is the area of most lift on the aircraft, calculated from the net lift of every lift-producing area on the creation. So basically the average lift. CoT is like CoL, just with thrust instead; the CoT is the main area of thrust on the aircraft and/or other creation, depending on how many engines there are, what kind of engines, and how much thrust they put out.
If your aircraft is droning to the left and/or right while taking off, it’s CoM or drag may not be symmetrical. Drag is important, as the forces of drag are what decide how they aircraft performs, if at all. If there’s too much drag, the aircraft may be too slow in the air, if it can even take off. If there’s not enough drag, it’ll go too fast, and flight performance will prove to be unrealistic. If the net drag isn’t in the center of the X-Axis of the creation, it may pull to one side while moving, depending on where the drag is.
Custom Engines can take some experience to create, as they require a lot of knowledge on how the game works if you’re planning to make a realistic custom engine. For instance, if it’s an airliner or cargo aircraft engine, like the GE-90, then you’re gonna want to know how to make good looking turbofan blades, realistic acceleration and/or spool-up time, and plausible exhaust plumes. Same to be said with fighter aircraft engines, these can range from very powerful engines with massive exhaust plumes, to smaller engines that are a little more humble. Prop engines are easier to custom design, but the same liberties must be taken if you’re going for realism.
Again, remember CoM, CoL, CoT, and Drag. These are incredibly important for making your aircraft fly stable, and can save a lot of time tinkering and perfecting if you do it right the first time. For most aircrafts, you typically want the CoM to be slightly in front of the CoL, in order for adequate flight characteristics. Too far ahead, and the aircraft will be too nose heavy. Too far behind, or even not far ahead enough, and the aircraft will be back heavy, and may start flipping through the air upon getting airborne. If you’re constructing a VTOL Aircraft, it is important to make sure the CoM is directly on top of the CoT,
@ShootsPlanes Indeed it is! I was inspired a little by your comment, and so I spontaneously made this within the span of 2-3 days ‘cause I was motivated, which rarely ever happens lol
I can never tell if these kinds of videos are made with the intention of being funny via purposely being poor in quality, or if they’re actually serious and the people making said videos are calling this “quality content”

It’s actually the SU-75, SU-57 already exists as the “Felon”. Honestly though, the aircraft looks pretty damn cool, hard to say how it’ll perform though, as it’s only a prototype thus far. If it can outmaneuver and outrun the F-35, along with being capable of the same tasks, then I’d say it can certainly outperform the F-35. As for the F-22, I imagine it’d stand not much of a chance against it. However, the SU-57 definitely seems like a promising match against the F-22, but of course, the only true way to be sure of which one is more powerful would be to pit them against each other. As probably insane/entertaining as that would be, it’s likely something that neither the US nor Russia want to happen.
@KfcGaming it technically isn’t fictional, as it was an actual concept designed by actual engineers, and the idea never got off paper. Also the word fictional kinda loses its meaning here in SP, since replicas can be of anything, regardless of if it was made irl in our own universe or not. Just like I could make a T-65 X-Wing from the Star Wars Franchise, and tag it as a replica, it’s technically fictional to our universe, but not to the Star Wars universe, meaning that regardless, it’s a replica in some way or another.
@FabioGalvao5679 I believe the TR-6 is what actually caused the Phoenix Lights incident, the Phoenix Lights incident is most likely the result of the TR-6 being tested, used, or just flown for fun, although fun is a very unlikely case of usage of the TR-6.
@Dathcha true, they have quite the intimidation factor to them. I imagine the era of this turret would be something like WWI level stuff, seeing that it would be used in relation with trenches?
@NikoFox2 of course! How come?
@V yee
This is super cool! Could you try making a Lämmergeier Bird sometime?
@pitia well, calling me a genius is a little generous, but I appreciate the compliment.
Why did you make a challenge post out of my UFO lmao

As cool as this is, what’s the practical use of a flamethrower turret
