@surfimp the sp forum is a mine of building guideline, like counter rotating props. I discovered on forum the number keypad command, and this is basic for building.
@surfimp I did not use any tutorials, but I have a good knowledge of the principles of aerodynamics and of those who govern the construction of airplanes. (Not for work or studies done, but for passion and for practicing about 30 years ago, the dynamic model radio-controlled)
@salvador3031 There are 10 mobile surfaces dedicated on pitch work. But this beast is heavy like an elephant, and this version is not XML edited. Maybe eliminating some weight it can go better, but I prefer the legit airplanes, with no modding, cheat and drugs. ;)
J15 is really low thrusting. :( With a couple of them, I can reach speed and energy of a really good single prop plane in no way. I think it need a rebalancing.
Yes it "did".. I rebuilted all the front part and canopy (that are in the middleline... was the first part of project, and all was mirrored around this part) and solved the issue. It was a bug, I think.
"Rebuilt" mean changed canopy with another style, and cancel the other parts, creating newer from the menù. A lot of work, sadly.
@XVIindustries Pressing B you can extract brakes in editor but... drag points does not change, and it is strange. Moving wings in variable geometry planes probably must change COL and COM (and change drag points, too), but "how"? I feel the need of more information in editor... :D
@XVIindustries i'm pretty sure of this, but the center of mass, thrust and lift, and the drag points can't be controlled, if they 'll be abilited in editor, we will can.
I can't find a way to make a better middleway between the race and the dogfight. In dogfight, a smallest plane is a smallest target, I hope it will help.
@WhenGoatsFly I supposed it (used correctly, obvious) but I.E. this has variable geometry, and will be beautifull to know how it influence drag points.
There is an issue with the Daredevil rules. The planes starting on the RIGHT side, is disvantaged, because it will be dropped form far from ground and take more time to recover.
More, after both plane take off, if both are good aircraft, is higly probable a mid air collision.
I suggest, if I can, to start every challenger to the LEFT, and a stupid/non flying plane on the RIGHT, and get note of the time. Then you have the order of arrival of all planes.

@TheMasterSoldier ty
@RamboGaming ty mate :)
Ty @HakkeAirTech
@Spikerya i'm honored
@goboygo1 ty mate :)
@Noman0rumeral ty
OH MY..... Fetaured!? THANKS!! :D
Nice... :D I love forward swept wings, i did varius models with this feature. ;)
@salvador3031 In my scale, this is a NON EDITED good plane. ;) My better, I think.
@deusalgor Correct! :D

@TheJohnnyMan thanks for the credits ;)

Please remember the enter is the successor of my airplane (the game decided it, I have no choice). Hummingbird! @MediocrePlanes
This becomed also my first "over 200 download". :D

Do it shoot?
@salvador3031 I subscrived you.
@salvador3031 It will be a pleasure for me to see all your planes. :D I don't care if I loose. ;)
@GoldenHawk done...
@salvador3031 It's for a challenge that have two parts. A race (daredevil), and a dogfight... ;)
here a video of this xml edited version
@salvador3031 Try this also against all jets. It's legit, no editing. And it has only 1000 HP and a prop, and no missiles. ;)
I think my plane got space of improvement... but I don't want to do all in one time. ;)
@salvador3031 An accurate homework on centers position, drag and mobile surface (profile too)
@WhenGoatsFly I supposed it (used correctly, obvious) but I.E. this has variable geometry, and will be beautifull to know how it influence drag points.
@salvador3031 Thanks, you are great! :D
here the video
@salvador3031 Do you say that 30/40 G's are a bit too much for the pilots? :D
here the XML edited version
UP
If is not possible, it will be a great feature to ad in a next relase. Upvote to keep the topic hot.
@Bravon Thanks mate. :D
Same aircraft in two version, one with J15 and one with propeller engine (the smallest one) is faster and agile with prop... is not strange?
@Earthbenderrwefa Are you able to eliminate air intake? How you can do in XML? (please, it is very usefull for some models!)
Please, upvote and/or cpmment if you agree, to keep the topic "hot"
My new entry hummingbird is based on my old entry, is it valid? @MediocrePlanes
I'm not sure to understand well due to my bad english, but....
This?
Is it stil open? Xml modding admitted?
@MediocrePlanes so, we have new rules? If yes, I suggest to correct them in the original post
This was a NASA experiment, if i'm not wrong. The model is amazing, paint job too. Respect!!
@MediocrePlanes Hi mate! :D
Houston, we have a problem!

@Medikohl Thanks... so, the challenge is closed, or we must wait for other planes? :D

@LeoBrasi @PhilipTarpley Thanks mates! :D
