@GrFrog Simple fix, the little red plate above the additional headlights and below the grill has a weird connection, just disconnect and auto-reconnect and it should fix the CENTRE OF LIFT.
Really nice car though.
@Griffon1 Spot on, the guy I built it for handed me a picture of a Littorio class Airship. Sadly, haven't played PW yet so I was unaware of the complete shape of the vessel, leading to only some level of inspiration. The whole sparkle was based on those embers though lol.
Lol would've been first if life hadn't distracted me, uploaded a modification as well, albeit a tad more altered than @LucasSBaru design. Now you have 2 working alternatives XD
@airlinerbuilder this one has no beta parts in it should work regardless of the warning. I would*ve thought it would at least show the original version as a direct successor, as it is...
Well....this is....different. Our internal systems cannot even render the model properly...budget cuts.
How did you even our base aircraft? The competition was ages ago. Not that I'm complaining...
These kinds of posts are a lovely way to give back to a community. Although like others I could write a book about undeperforming (albeit the builds are often admittedly simple...hence the name of the game), I would like to get this out there.
A mate and I used our big brains together to figure out an automatic variabke-geometry wing sweep system using the new possibilities in 1.9. The plane itself is basic, yet for the amount of work that went into it I think it'd be cool for my mate as well if more get to see, use, evaluate and improve the mechanism.
@teodor99 thanks a lot for the feedback and the upgraded version. Why not make that listed tho? XD
And @TheBlaster67 why not toss me the link so I can check it out? :) No need to apologise, that is what this game/community is there for.
Don't live in the US of A myself, but down here in Germany we I live near the Air Force base of Rammstein near Wiesbaden. A lot of US transports fly overhead where I live, old school Hercs and C5 Galaxy transport planes are frequent. We also get the occasional Black Hawk, whereas the Luftwaffe exercises their Typhoon and Tornados around my area.
@XxRxX yeah am on PC, I've been looking at a lot of other builds like Wright Flyer replicas but am just not sure what the special sauce is. Figuring out what leniency I can give in way of raw numbers for sake of gameplay. (This one I saw for example had a 700hp engine but still managed to keep the historical flight speed of 37kph)
@HuskyDynamics01 lol did not even realize this was listed as an entry...very odd, must have just been on a file that somehow was linked as a successor. Disregard this XD
@TheHaggisBasher I am planning to make a more spaceship accurate version of this, but is there any specific reason you need the 1.11 parts removed? The update has been out for quite a while...plus, in the worst case you could modify it yourself
@Ap12909 sure. I did have a few in a backlog, but since then I have been gifted NVIDIA Geforce now, so I can play high fidelity games on my craptop again. I've been putting more time into the likes of War Thunder and games I can play with my mates. But recently I was convinced to play SP for a bit again, I had this plane (and the other one linked in the post) in the backlog still, so I thought eh, why not upload em.
One more build is ready to be uploaded though.
Thanks for the interest I guess, wouldn't have imagined anyone would've noticed my absence tbf.
@airlinerbuilder weird, is right underneath the winner on my end, maybe as I used the beta version? Looks like there were some nice builds in here nontheless
@RAAF yeah, based off his wii sports resort map he did I thought I might as well ask. If I had a decent PC and enough technical know how to do it myself I would
Not entirely sure if this is the right place for this kind of request, but are you able to port over maps from the game War Thunder? The maps in the Air Arcade mode are of particular interest, as they tend to have the more interesting terrain. Alternatively, could a Gibraltar Map be doable?
Let me just hopefully bump this post as I didn't really get a sound answer. Specifically the configuration of the main rotor and tail rotor in a conventional setup.
@MAHADI thanks for hosting the competition, I'm sure rating all those planes must've taken a long time XD Are you by any chance able to provide me with tips to improve upon this kind of design?
P45 next?
+3Did they ever get around to the supersonic drag calculation?
+3I feel challenged....but can you rival my TRIPLANE???
+2My old man served as a flight engineer on these during his time in the RAF, nice build!

+1Pictures look good, how did you manage to get 3 in flight pictures in the upload? I used to use a mod for that but it seems to be broken... :/

@Modderblyat originally designed as a destroyer, I realized I screwed up the scaling, so it's classified as a corvette.
+1Neat to see the improvements over time, especially with the usage of fuselage blocks! Nice and sleek and hoo boi did you make this a fast one!
+1@Mustang51 Simple is the name of the game :) Glad you liked it

meanwhile here I am trying to figure out if I can translate this to a Blade T2000
+1@SnoWFLakE0s am trying to big brain that now....but always sucked at stuff like this XD
+1This smells like automatic variable geometry wings that adjust to your airspeed......conveniant timing
+1@goboygo1 cheers, issue has been solved since then (as seen in newer uploads XD)

@HuskyDynamics01 have already entered with the EE Auctioneer, must have merely confused some files, my bad
@HuskyDynamics01 lol did not even realize this was listed as an entry...very odd, must have just been on a file that somehow was linked as a successor. Disregard this XD
@MrMikazuki as stated in the description, go wild XD
Deja Vu

Any chance of this getting fixed? Was really convenient...
Simple is in the name of the game

@airlinerbuilder sorry to bug ye, but some feedback for my design would be appreciated too lol
@merrickdaig thank you for your feedback. A few "quirks" in the handling were maintained to emulate the difficult handling of the historic HE 162.
Ok in all seriousness, I'd recommend not janking the stick around at low speeds, try using trim to level it out instead.
We will gladly refund all repair costs.
@Mastermind1941 @_PolarSpirit yeah It was based on that, however, some details turned out different. Glad the spirit of it came across though
Did I miss something namewise? Looks cute tho
@RAAF yeah, based off his wii sports resort map he did I thought I might as well ask. If I had a decent PC and enough technical know how to do it myself I would

@Mobius1Cyka cheers
@SuwongsoMotorwerks thanks for adding the link in. Call me a twat but could you tell me how to add links on this site? XD
A very large triplane indeed, I could land mine on top of that XD
Got a fix for it here
