@Nerfaddict even if the aircraft is unfathomably stable in the air, there will come a point where the aircraft itself simply cannot carry too much weight. I think there’s a principle of lift, which also applies to buoyancy with ships, that a vessel can only carry it’s own weight before losing buoyancy/lift before sinking. So in our case, the Actias can carry a maximum of roughly 25,000,000lbs in cargo before it is incapable of gaining lift, period. As for your aircraft’s case, it would be roughly 40,000lbs before losing the ability to produce enough lift to gain altitude. Unless my calculations are incorrect, (which quite frankly it wouldn’t surprise me if they are incorrect) it would seem that higher weight is helpful in massive aircrafts or vessels. Imagine if you tried to fit 10 tons of cargo on a small dingy, sure the dinghy is incredibly light and is great at staying afloat, but 20,000lbs is simply too much for it to handle. Even if this dinghy was absolutely massive, 20,000lbs is still 20,000lbs. It’ll probably be slightly harder to sink due to much higher surface area, but the point remains. The Actias also uses a “lightweight” material, much like the Carbex used on yours. Except the material used on the Actias is heavier, and unfathomably strong just like the Carbex. Higher weight allows it to bare higher cargo weight, paving way for immense aircraft storage, along with other things that shall be transported.
Not saying that the Aerial Cruiser is obsolete, it is indeed an incredible feat of engineering, especially that Carbex material, like AeroGel on drugs and steroids. I’m just pointing out some things that may help to improve the aircraft even further! After all, PyrhPan’s Airforce includes every military aircraft of the SP Fandom, and who would say no to stronger military might?
C’mon god-tier users of SP, create something amazing with this! I bet you could make a realistic 8-AAM Missile Pod using this trick, and have it actually fire 8 Missiles at once! The talent for said feat. is something I lack, so I guide to you a treasure I cannot possess.
@Nerfaddict wait so if your aircraft carrier weighs only 20 tons, how does it carry things? I can’t imagine it could carry too many aircrafts without the CoM being offset tremendously, what’s the maximum weight it can hold before losing the ability to fly? Also the Actias’s weight in SP is not an accurate representation by any means, it actually weighs roughly 25,000,000lbs in person.
It’d be nice if there was an option to disable the hide mechanic of the orbit camera, it actually looks rather nice in my opinion, and could be used visually for many things!
@stevemc01 wait you technically aren’t wrong, did I accidentally make something that’s less of a shitpost, and is actually feasible and/or a plausible design?
@Tuffbot well, I say good luck getting past PyrhPan, it might-as-well be a suicide mission. As for the flight controls of the Black Triangle, there’s a list of crafts labeled UFO’s and Black Projects where you can find a UFO Flight Model, subbed out as an Orb UFO. The description should tell you everything you need.

Well that’s the issue, the original author either deleted the post, or they don’t exist anymore; I tried to find them via the successor system, by posting it and seeing who made the predecessor, but nothing showed up, as if I was the original poster. So idk who made it, I asked the same questions and made the same clarifications on the CL-1201 post, and no information was unearthed in the process, so idk what to say.
@LittleJerry ah ok, well if you launch them with no velocity and they’re level with the ground, they will kinda just act like torpedos and skim across the surface of the water. They need impact force on the tip of the warhead to detonate!
This is actually amazing lol
@JuanShot2Go yoooooo
@LaysChipz i forgor💀
196 parts
@Nerfaddict also sorry for long ass comment lmao

I think the coolest thing about this is that the livery glows when it’s dark, idk about you but I think it looks pretty damn awesome.
What’s next, does my car have an Extended Warranty that I need to retrieve? Piss off.

The flight model on this thing is absolutely mind blowing, how did you do that?
It’d be nice if there was an option to disable the hide mechanic of the orbit camera, it actually looks rather nice in my opinion, and could be used visually for many things!
@Nerfaddict this thing is made out of carbex, how heavy is it?
MBT
The thing I hate the most about this car is that I can’t spotlight it. Absolutely beautiful work, it’s so damn smooth!
@WarThunderPlayer no T, but good luck with the aircraft
@WarThunderPlayer yeah I figured lol
Looks nice
Mobile graphics be like
Those headlights look beautiful, T
@stevemc01 wait you technically aren’t wrong, did I accidentally make something that’s less of a shitpost, and is actually feasible and/or a plausible design?
@ThatOneThiccPlaneStealer shit I completely forgot I did that lmfao
Me when the pretender is untrustworthy!
@Gluck what’s the first?
Magnificent.
Black and white looks nice
Trust me I have better ideas for the future, I just wanted to get this one out of my head before I forgot lol
You just noticed?

Huh, that’s actually really odd.
Heh, you think you’ve wasted my time? Jokes on you, I have nothing better to do.
@Dathcha accurate.
That prop decoy is hilariously smart.
@Dathcha well, “better” is an optimistic way to put it.
@Dathcha I didn’t build the original F4.
In that first GIF with the high explosionScale value Infernos, how in the world did that not lag like hell? Also DAMN this thing is cool!
@VolcanicAsh I’ve seen stuff here with a hundred times as much drag as that, so much that the website thinks it’s a phone number lol
@V I’d rather post it public though, I atleast want it to get some attention.
Very clever.

@LittleJerry on rare occasion, or if used incorrectly, yes.
@Hedero oh lol, cheers
@Hedero yee
@Hedero well, as far as I know, he did fly the U2 Dragonlady, unless I’ve been misinformed?
This is absolutely amazing!
@Chickendude you could try, but with the supermanueverability, it could be risky.
@KnightOfRen I lifted it into the air with an MIL-V12 Homer, and dropped it onto the USS Beast lol
Make a Pterodactyl, or some other avian dinosaur, except give it missiles or some shit lmao
Actually kinda fun
