The part only mirror shows a single wing with an arrow (I think). The button will mirror to the opposite side the selected/highlighted part and is not "side specific". The full side mirror button shows the outline of half an aircraft with an arrow indicating which side you wish to mirror. There are two of these buttons, one to mirror the left side of the aircraft to the right and the other to mirror the right side of the aircraft to the left.
To be more specific, the right slider is usually the trim, which can be set in the settings submenu for the vertical stabilizer/tailplane. The left slider can be VTOL if using the VTOL engine or can be easily set to control almost any moving part the builder puts on that particular build. Again, most of the VTOL slider functions can be adjusted or set depending on how the builder wants to set up his plane or vehicle.
The difficulty with a P-47 here (as well as an F6F) is that the engine cowling isn't round, it's an oval with an air scoop at the bottom. Tough to accurately replicate; not impossible, but tough to get right...
OK, don't shoot me if you've already heard this: 1. Look up an airplane on the internet (now that you have it), something simple like, say, a Cessna 172. A "3-view" would be best. Then, try and build a simple replica. You'll figure out pretty quick what works and what doesn't. 2. Disassemble other users' planes, you'll also learn a lot from doing that.
You're right, this is pretty cool. It could be a number of things, release time/day (looks like you posted it on a Tuesday), or the fact it's a fictional build (very cool, but replicas seem to do better) or because it's grey. I personally really like grey airplanes because that's how the USAF paints most of its fleet....buuuuut....brightly colored airplanes get far more attention.
I really like it, some unique features here, so here's an upvote and an encouragement!
I have to admit, I upvote airplanes, hardly ever cars/ships/boats/rockets/weird figures/weapons/Minecraft items/imaginary animals/abstract art, etc. However, this one is so well done, it's impossible to ignore! I love the bright red paint and chrome grille and bumpers!
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation, you mean enter a new line via a return? Hitting the return doesn't work for me, which key do I hit to enter a new line?
Search "Parts" tags, you'll find a few sets of parts with collision turned off. There's actually a set that's titled something along the lines of "Every Part with Collision Turned Off".
So, have to ask: How do you get the "wall" sections to smoothly merge into the "roof" sections of the fuse to get an internal space? Whenever I try to build an internal cargo bay, I only get chunky, unsightly seams around the outside of the fuselage...
You could use fine tuner mod on the stock wheels to size them correctly. Unfortunately, though, they wouldn't have spokes unless you custom built them.
Nice, excited to see the final product. Looks like you and @Rew really nailed the flightdeck/cockpit. Wish I could see the engine pylons a little better, what I feel is important with those is the that the pylons are actually pretty pronounced, extend over the top of the engine pods and the engines. Your engines are mounted ahead of the leading edge of the wing, which is also correct and visually significant. Nice work so far!
Sunnyskies is correct. Not only larger tailplanes, but larger control surfaces (elevators) as well. Also, if your plane goes out of control, your CoL and CoM are either too close, or your CoL is forward of your CoM (causes the CoM to want to shift to be in front of your CoL, or what I call the "backwards arrow effect").
That's the F-35B version, the VTOL capable version of that jet. Interesting pic, note the shaft out of the front of the compressor to the lift fan at the front (downwards-pointing cylinder) and the moveable exhaust (also pointed down).
@aLLares ok, understand. You modified a predecessor aircraft, but you think it's "bad"? How is it bad? Also, do not understand what you mean when you say, "I though he just needed a single video"? I am sorry if translating these questions is beyond the capability of Google Translate.
Also, if you hover your cursor over the buttons in the submenu, an information box will pop up showing what that button does.
The part only mirror shows a single wing with an arrow (I think). The button will mirror to the opposite side the selected/highlighted part and is not "side specific". The full side mirror button shows the outline of half an aircraft with an arrow indicating which side you wish to mirror.

This is very good!
History...nice!
Oooohhhh...Grandma...what have you done?!?!?
Looks like a T-38/F-4/F-20. Even managed to give it a little area ruling in the fuselage...
I like the hull detail...
Hey, not too many parts, nice job!
The difficulty with a P-47 here (as well as an F6F) is that the engine cowling isn't round, it's an oval with an air scoop at the bottom. Tough to accurately replicate; not impossible, but tough to get right...
Wow, are those functional fowler flaps?! I just wish they worked in the simulation as they work in real life...
Noice!!!
Nice, very accurate shape, you even got the horizontal stab right!

@Sunnyskies you should check out this one...
Good historic subject.
This is what happens when a T-2 Buckeye and a T-33 Shooting Star have a baby...
Wow, love the Fitter!
I agree, most of mine are grey as well, I feel your pain. I wish the background better highlighted grey aircraft...
Aaaahhhh...Pan Am. I remember sitting on a Pan Am 707 as a kid for hours one night at JFK due to a brake problem.

Simple, clean and the lines are very close to being spot on, nice!
Hey, don't worry about it. Interact with me, I'll respond.
Did you just remove your P-51??? I was literally in the middle of posting a comment on it and hadn't even upvoted it yet!
+1@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation ok, I'll try it again on a few test posts, plus the Dashes w/spaces hint to see if it works.

I can't believe this one didn't get a single upvote until now?
Very nice, Mr. Tuna!
Very similar to an An-22.
Very nice, Spotlighted!

Very nice!
Wow, very nice!
Very steam-punky!

Hmmm....that seems to be a Malaysian flag on the tail, not the good 'ol Stars and Stripes!

Very nice Widowmaker!

I'd actually have guessed this was a replica of the Canadair CF100 Canuck (1950s Canadian interceptor), but nice build. Is this your first post?
Nice build, you should give it a color scheme and possibly some markings!
Swinging pylons good!
Very much like a Ju-87 Stuka.

Nice plane from a newer user, I like it!
MiG-21s seem to be quite popular on the site right now...
