@Mainblocks, thank you for your advice. When you say to "manually setup and adjust the camera to view in your bombsight", should I do so in the editor? In the editor, I have tried to place, then nudge the camera into the correct position inside the intake, but it still will not look through the intake, it still "sees" as if it is on top of the intake, not inside of it. I have not tried to angle the camera in the editor, as you suggest, to see if the view changes, though, but I will try that.
@EternalDarkness is correct and he gives a good workaround...but it's not a glitch, the game is doing exactly what it should do, if you want to know why it does it, how to avoid it in the first place and additional workarounds (like canting one horizontal stab to counteract the roll), I made a fairly extensive post on the problem, here.
@BogdanX as with most AF pilots, I have time in both the T-37 and T-38 and a good chunk of time in the type I'm flying in my self-portrait (to the left), plus a couple of other aircraft.
So, I checked out your page, like what I saw and you now have a new follower. I like your builds, nice overall design, plus they're pretty much all aircraft, which is fantastic. For some reason, my Jet Stream has had 75% other than aircraft as of late!
Nice build, you can use rotators stacked on top of each other and nudged into place for the tailerons and my friend @BogdanX here below loves to sweat the details, but nice overall effort!
I'm having trouble with getting it to actually fire or launch. I hit AGs 1 through 5, can see the chamber rotating, but nothing launches or fires. I press air to ground, launch weapon...nothing...what am I doing wrong?
Hey, you have some nice builds. Sorry I haven't noticed you before; I don't think your problem getting noticed has anything to do with what you build, but, rather, how they're posted. I strongly recommend you do some high-angle screenshots, where the wings stand out against the grey and black background. Check out some of my posts for an illustration of what I'm talking about. BTW, which country do you live in? I lived in both Argentina and Uruguay a few years ago.
Well, there actually were a slew of NCC-1701 builds in the last 6 months or so, but this one is definitely the best one, from what I can see from your screenshots. I would recommend you avoid putting landing gear on this one, it's just too attractive, plus it's not true to life...or fiction...or science fiction...or whatever...
I noticed that a new build by a new user, F7N-Jet was very similar--too similar--to Visify's F7F post from a couple of months ago. I compared the two and, yes, it's a modification of Visify's original post. However, the successor note does not appear on the new build. I know how to remove the successor notes, it's fairly easy, but Visify is not going to get the credit he deserves due to this plagiarism, which concerns me. If it's in accordance with community standards, then I don't want to make a big deal of it, but the plagiarism aspect still bugs me.
Suggestion: Make a simple pair of stands for your jet which you can use test the gear o the runway. I'm using them with my current build to make sure it all works correctly. I don't even use the stock gear anymore, but it takes patience, Fine Tuner, XML modding/Overload, nudging, coordinate and angular adjustments. But it's worth it. I find many otherwise-quality builds which use stock gear and it's very noticeable.
You might have to play with the order of the bombs, I didn't have time to really test it...they always drop off in the order that they're placed in the editor, so it's pretty easy to figure out.
Sure, I made this one in response to your question on my phone in about 10 mins: Rotary Bomb Bay. With a little more work, you could put 4 more bombs, sides and doors on there.
NativeChief1492, would you consider extending the deadline for this challenge? I'm around 95% done with my bomber, but need a few extra days to finish.
So, I'm building a large-ish jet as well, mine is approximately 140,000 lbs full up. I have to ask, does your bogey-ed landing gear skid around, bounce and cause the aircraft to move around when it's sitting on the runway? If so, what did you do to solve the issue?
So that I understand your intent, is it to produce original creations or replicas? If it's to produce replicas, then no Tu-28P replicas? The Fiddler's Maximum Take-Off Weight (MTOW) was 96,340lbs and the empty weight was 54,000lbs. I might have also allowed a builder to load up on fuel (lots of fuel and range are pretty much required for interceptor aircraft)...if they're willing to compromise his/her design that way, why not let them? You never know, some builder may exhibit some genius in producing a fast, long-ranged interceptor that's also maneuverable, making the necessary compromises between fuel, weight and wing loading (maneuverability)...
Actually, I think it's the tires, I got rid of the piston and they're still spazzing out...I enabled the tire suspension, it's a bit better, but still there...
@doge sorry, if you tag someone in the description, they won't see it. They can only see the tag if it's in the comment section. Next time, post the build along with the description, but then make a comment with the tag if you want to alert someone of your build.

@mushr0om @Seeras you both have figured this out, how do you do it? How do you move and angle the camera to actually look down and out of the intake?
Nice!

Did you publish a jet, but then delete it? I got a notification, but then couldn't find your build...
OK, now this is hilarious. Not a great flyer, but hilarious!

@BogdanX as someone who's survived nearly 4,000 hours of military flying, I agree that details are important!
This one is pretty nice, as well. You nailed the proportions, which many builders struggle with, for some reason.

I like it...A-20 meets Marauder meets B-26 thing going on here :)

That's Warp Factor .00004643102 (approximately)!
@BaconEggs noice!!!
Strong like bull!

Wasn't this originally @Visify 's aircraft. How come no credit for doing the vast majority of work?
Very nice...looks fantastic, great use of VTOL nozzles, low-ish part count, nicely detailed insignia!
@CWhat016 I started on iOS, many of my best builds were iOS...but PC is a game changer. Get Fine Tuner and Overload now! Plus nudge is priceless!
@MechWARRIOR57 yes, true it does save time!

Very nice. It's even puppet-sized (but still pretty large) like the Thunderbirds themselves!

That would be very kind of you, I will tag you on my post. My problem manifests itself on the main 4-wheel bogey...you'll see. Thanks again!
Cool, I like it, plus the backstory is very engaging.

Nice design, original backstory, cool paint...slow, respectful clap ensues...
@mikoyanster excellent, thanks!
Plus, you should post that aircraft as a stand-alone, as it's an attractive-looking design, just sayin'...

Kaga! Akagi! Soryu! Hiryu! Zuikaku! Shokaku!
You've gone to plaid!

@Alienbeef0421 well, I am on high physics...

@doge when you post you build, go to the comments section and write: @ChiChiWerx just like you just did here
@Kevinairlines on your Schwalbe?
@doge tag me on your next build!
Yes, I agree, they are nice, if he's going to use black, he could do an above shot so the build shows against the grey. @doge
@ColonelStriker
Looks awesome, but why the unlimited fuel?
Nice!
He needs to color his aircraft anything else besides black...@doge
This is nice, looks good, flies even better, just like an F-5!
@Kevinairlines you realize, of course, that the crews switched our tanks, bombs and missiles as the mission required? It is a nice picture, though!
