@JettStorm, well, the Czech one is oriented with the blue field on the left, while the Dutch one has a small orange circle in the middle, so I'm unsure now...
OK, first step, get a picture hosting website, such as imgur.com. Once you have an account there, you can upload some pics to the web. For forum posts, the coding is simple, but a bit tricky. It's: ! [Title of Picture] (link to picture, ends in .png or .jpg) You need to remove the spaces from between the exclamation point and the bracket and the space between the bracket and parenthesis. Also, imgur lists several links with your picture, be sure to us the one ending in the .png or .jpg. For your gravatar, there's a registration process on SP where your gravatar can be hosted, can't remember how exactly it works.
Any suggestions on how to fly this beast (pun, get it :))? I find I need constant forward stick (nose down pitch) to stay in control. Trim is not enabled, so I can't use that. About 25% throttle keeps it under 200 mph, which seems best...any other suggestions?
@Tully2001 I'm trying to adjust the colors and glossiness right now, but am having a lot of trouble doing it, which annoys me because I've modded the XML before to do the extra glossy finish. I open the XML file (not the .bak) file, adjust the color code using the one from hex color, plus the m and s values and hit save. When I open up the designer, NOTHING changes...what am I doing wrong?
Every time I see one of these pleas, I encourage the poster to attempt the build him or herself. I've sure Simpleflow or Frogmasteraeronautics could build a brilliant plane, but you'll only get better if you build it yourself!
I've done it, here. Collaborative build with @Kevinairlines, but I helped with the tail control surfaces. The two functions are trim and pitch, but same idea. You have to put rotators on rotators on wing or tail surfaces. You don't even need to XML, but Fine Tuner helps a lot with shrinking the rotators down so that they don't stick out the other side of the fuselage.
Not bad, how does she fly? You know you can use the resizeable intakes to replace the two per side stock intakes, it's much easier and you have the opportunity to really shape the intakes into what you need them to be.
@ESIOTROT121, A-4s? Do you mean A-4 Skyhawks? I think on of the only organizations operating A-4s today is possibly Draken International, a for-hire air adversary company which works with various air forces around the world. They fly the ex-RNZAF and RAAF A-4s.
Feedback: Very nice, especially from a newer builder. But why not just call it a Panavia Tornado, it's very close to being a replica, just a few minor differences which you could easily change? Also, zoom in more on your screenshot and post more than one. People on the site upvote based on the post, not so much on the aircraft itself, dad to say.
Very nice work, do not put too much stock in the criticisms below, this is an excellent effort. Also, I appreciate that you took the time to post a description, even if you used Google translate, it is much better to have a description than not.
@LockheedMartinAerospace I get the top speed requirement, but don't you think the F-35 drivers need to consider the Flanker (which is much faster) when executing their sorties?
The thing that instantly dissuaded me from taking part was this requirement: 1) Top speed of greater than 1560 mph, but less than 2276 mph. That's an awfully specific speed requirement, not sure why you would shackle a design to this requirement...
You cannot; Apple doesn't allow anyone to access the XML files to make the modifications. I don't know how familiar you are with XML editing (I was not until I fooled around with it in SP), but you open the XML aircraft files, which are in a sub-folder under "Jundroo", edit the values in the file and save the edited files. As t8erh8er states below, there's no way to get into those files in iOS. It's Apple's policy for all their software and Jundroo can't do anything about it.
@Thomasj041 no, not at all. SP does not allow lower ranked players to Spotlight higher ranked players. Check it out next time you're looking at a build by a higher ranked player.
A second way you can counteract the roll is to add a few degrees of pitch on one elevator, which will cause an opposite roll moment to counteract the problem roll (this is known as "trimming" in real life--actual aircraft go through a "trimming" procedure post-maintenance being performed on flight control surfaces). I did this on my A-4K when I had induced a roll through my lack of understanding of the SP attach-nudge-mirror problem. The only problem with this is that the build is then trimmed up for a certain airspeed and altitude (low altitude and approx 480 mph for My A-4K--I figured the average SP player flies at full throttle and low altitude, so most players would not notice) but changes in those parameters will reintroduce a roll due to changing aerodynamic forces.
@LockheedMartinAerospace, you are correct: All of the factors you describe will induce a roll. However, SP also has the simulation issue I describe below, which does not exist in "real life". The "real life" factors you describe are usually much more evident, causing a much more violent roll than the slow, annoying roll problem many builders suffer.
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation Yes, it did work, thank you!
@Alienbeef0421 I guess, but it's definitely blue-ish
@F104Deathtrap thanks!

@sexylips35 it's a picture hosting site. Free registration.

Looks good, accurate speed at altitude, I'm upvoting this one...you might also like this 😎
Cute, but needs a description...
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation IKR?
@Tully2001 ok, will try to set all to "1"

Essentially this one would have been a 2-seat F-15...but that's lake saying the F-15 is a fixed wing F-14...my head is spinning...
@Tully2001 they're both set to "1"

Wow, a Dutch Tomcat, cool!
@Kevinairlines, a little advert for your next post!
Third option: Pause and come back to it later
All this work and no description?
@t8erh8er wow! Good one!
@Kevinairlines my goodness, you're persistent. No, not yet. Will have time this weekend, as it's a weekend and I'm not working :)

And how many angels can dance on the head of a pin? It can never happen, so there's not an answer to the question.
This one is eerily similar to my F-37A Super Viper, I like it!
Wow, this is eerily similar to my F-37A, I like it!
Bright yellow and orange, a bold choice for a Flogger!
Huh, well good choice then!
Yes @Joco80 you are correct, this is a stolen repost of the Jundroo bomber. Flagged, @TheLatentImage.

@Testin123, I have a PC.

Reminds me of a Potez 75, but with retractable landing gear and probably a much better performer.
The top...but the bottom scheme will stand out more when you post it.
@Dumpworks yup, sure was. Probably could make it work today with computer control.
@Thomasj041 no, not at all. SP does not allow lower ranked players to Spotlight higher ranked players. Check it out next time you're looking at a build by a higher ranked player.
Well, no wonder the Soviets cancelled it, let me take one guess on what question they couldn't answer: "How do you land it?!?"
Sure, but you have more points than I do now, so I can't Spotlight higher-ranked builders!
Beautiful, especially the flight deck and cockpit--very difficult to do in SP--nice!
Interesting build, will have to pull it apart to see why the heading indicator is thrown off; but it's fun to pilot this Kamikaze of a missile!
So I came back to Spotlight this one (was told I was in Cooldown), but when I came back to do so, I was too late! Congrats!
Wish I could Spotlight this one, but I'm unworthy!
What's a "Boing"?
