  • Why my plane tilts left every time when it hits1000mph??? 8.4 years ago

    There are a variety of answers below, but @BogdanX is correct: The roll is caused by attaching a fuselage block to one wing, NUDGING the block into the desired position, then mirroring the block to the opposite wing. My theory is that, when nudging, then mirroring, the mirrored block will attach to a different attachment point, the closest point, which is different from the original side. That throws off the balance and induces the roll. My technique for avoiding this is to attach the block to one side, then mirror without nudging first. Once created, THEN nudge both blocks into position. Be sure to check (with Fine Tuner) the final position of the blocks to ensure they are exactly symmetrical. You can also manually place blocks on both sides without resorting to mirroring, though it is tedious to ensure both sides are placed in exactly the opposite positions using the same attach points, it's not too terribly difficult.

  • Boeing 727 8.4 years ago

    Nice build.

  • SailBoat 8.4 years ago

    Very attractive.

  • Ta-152 C-3 (REWORKED) 8.4 years ago

    @Othawne really, did not realize you could do that, any further details or suggestions?

  • Dornier Do-217 Mistel/Trommsdorff D-6000 8.4 years ago

    Wish I could Spotlight this creation, but I am unworthy to do so...

  • Ta-152 C-3 (REWORKED) 8.4 years ago

    Is it even possible to synchronize guns with the prop? I always thought the only way to fire through the prop arc was to put the guns right up close to it...

  • Please read 8.4 years ago

    I like your builds...how about expanding beyond WWII aircraft into the '50s or '60s? I always find there are many interesting subjects during that time period.

  • Futuristic build suggestion 8.4 years ago

    F-23 replica.

  • Goran the Workhorse 8.4 years ago

    The trig works, but did you reverse the two courses? KMYW lies approximately southeast from KSNT, so to go TO KSNT, you would have to fly NNW (335 degrees) and reverse to return (155 degrees) ;)

  • Goran the Workhorse 8.4 years ago

    @LordHKelvin very nice, KSNT and KMYW, navigation by dead reckoning, I like it!

  • A3's Porta Plane 8.4 years ago

    Nice!

  • Cessna 185 8.4 years ago

    Ahhhaaa! The rudders! I get it now.

  • Cessna 185 8.4 years ago

    So...what's with the AG1/VTOL dance? Seems like you had to work a relatively complex work-around, it'll take awhile to learn the steps after I download this later, not impossible, just some work. Also, does one have to reverse the steps to land on water? Looks really realistic, though.

  • Goran the Workhorse 8.4 years ago

    I really like the description, plus the fact you actually took the time (66+ mins) to fly the route.

  • Horten Ho-229 8.4 years ago

    @MrSilverWolf, huh! Though I take anything in Wikipedia with a grain of salt, looks like it DID actually fly several test flights!

  • Horten Ho-229 8.4 years ago

    Gorgeous build. Very precise and detailed. Makes sense, though, that you couldn't find a paint scheme as this one never actually flew. We (the U.S.) captured a few uncompleted prototypes at the end of the war.

  • P-38 Lightning 8.4 years ago

    Nice build. May I offer?: You can simply attach the horizontal stab to one boom, then extend it so that it attaches on the other end to the second boom, check it out here...

  • MiG-21 MF 8.4 years ago

    Spectacular!

  • Hs 129 b-3 8.4 years ago

    VERY nice!

  • my planes are crap because im on IOS 8.4 years ago

    @ProKillaV12 apology accepted.

  • my planes are crap because im on IOS 8.4 years ago

    While I agree nudge, Fine Tuner, Overload and XML makes things easier, many great builders use iOS exclusively, such as @DestinyAviation (platinum). Check out my profile page, a good number of my high rated builds are iOS, such as my XB-70.

  • Seaplane 8.4 years ago

    This is a very nice build...how did you do the wingtips? I experimented with them, they're not nose cones (I think), but they're not fuselage pieces, either, so what are they?

  • Help with Overload? 8.4 years ago

    Thanks @EternalDarkness

  • Help with Overload? 8.4 years ago

    Thanks! Worked perfectly @EliteIndustries1 @MechWARRIOR57 @Tully2001

  • Overload 8.4 years ago

    I'm trying to make a resizeable fuselage more angled than what's possible in the default menu (max run is 2.5)...I'm trying to make it 2.75. When I highlight the part, open Overload, I then click "Part" at the top of the dialogue box. From the popup menu, I select "Fuselage", then I go down to "Offset" and set the first value, which is 0 (or whatever is set in the default menu) and I change it to 2.75. I then click the check mark at the bottom and...voila!..nothing happens. Any suggestions on how to get Overload to take the change?

  • Help with Overload? 8.4 years ago

    @WNP78?

  • Santa Cruz 8.4 years ago

    Nice build, nice colors, nice details.

  • International Aircraft B-28 8.4 years ago

    Dunno why, I really like it, perhaps it's the Tu-114 landing gear...

  • Some pics of my newest build 8.4 years ago

    @FlyingThings thanks, am checking it out!

  • Some pics of my newest build 8.4 years ago

    @FlyingThings fair enough...I guess I wouldn't put it past plausible for this to be a Luft '46 project with afterburners.
    @Botfinder many, many flying wings were designed, built and/or flown before and during WWII (XB-35, Horton Ho229, many glider designs, just to name a few), however, the first true afterburning turbojet engine was not designed or flown until after the war. One of the first USAF fighters with an afterburner was the 1950s-era F-94 Starfire. It's an anachronism, that's all. But, it's all cool beans to me and makes sense to me as a "Luft '46" creation!

  • Some pics of my newest build 8.4 years ago

    Pretty cool, but after burning turbofans on a WWII era flying wing?

  • Front Page Plane! 8.4 years ago

    Must be the camo...

  • I got in trouble... again 8.4 years ago

    @PyroManiac hmmm...sorry for assuming. Well I guess that wouldn't work then...what's Springtrap plush?

  • I got in trouble... again 8.4 years ago

    Politely ask them to be quiet, once you've asked three times, raise your hand and inform your teacher (I assume this is in class). It's not "cool", but you won't get in trouble for doing it that way. If it's a girl, flirt with her to embarrass her ("Hey, beautiful, your voice is so melodious, I simply can't keep my mind on my work! 😎) and she'll shut up...

  • Jet engines not looking forward when the plane was loaded doesn't work 8.4 years ago

    From what I can tell of this issue from my experience trying to make thrust-vectoring engines, there is logic in the program where attaching a rotator to an engine interrupts the flow of air to the engine. You're right, if you stick an engine onto a fuselage without an intake, if the front of the engine (compressor face) is exposed, it will still get air. Unfortunately, sticking it onto a rotator interrupts the flow.

  • Why?! 8.4 years ago

    Yup.

  • F-92 Bulldog 8.4 years ago

    Original, I like this one as well. You, my friend, need to build more airplanes. I'm now following you.

  • F-94 Groundattacker 8.4 years ago

    Modern A-10, noice.

  • J20 fix up tail 8.4 years ago

    Almost missed this one, it's so grey!

  • Simple Dragster 8.4 years ago

    @Spikerya yes, I had that on the mind when I threw it together, but this one is red and not blue, because I had never built anything using the default red paint scheme and I thought it would look nice. I wasn't even going to post it, but I hadn't posted anything in awhile, so I did it while waiting in line one cold morning for a Nintendo Switch...I just hope this thing doesn't devalue the ChiChiWerx brand.

  • How does one make a propeller plane that goes mach 2 without exceeding 2 props and without xml? 8.4 years ago

    Well, even though SP does not incorporate mach effects to simulate the difficulties of supersonic flight, I do not thing any of the prop engines have enough power to exceed Mach 2.0. Plus, why would you even want to? The fastest prop-driven aircraft, the Tu-95 Bear is subsonic...high subsonic, it can reach Mach .75 (575 mph) in level flight. And the Bear has 14,000 hp turboprop engines driving 20 ft props! The reason prop aircraft cannot break the sound barrier (Mach 1.0) is because, progressively from the tips, prop blades begin to exceed Mach and lose efficiency as they attempt to drive the aircraft to Mach 1.0. So, a prop-driven Mach 2.0 SP build, is, in my opinion, utterly unrealistic.

  • Attack drone 8.4 years ago

    Very droney, very attackey, I like the shape. You know these things have landing gear, even though it looks good without the landing gear in the screenshot. Also, suggest you enter a description!

  • Simple Dragster 8.4 years ago

    @ProKillaV12 kind of a missile, but more of a land-bound one!

  • FW190D 8.4 years ago

    @Leehopard well, glad you're still here. Your build also flies excellently, very easy to take off and land. I tried to build an FW and it snap rolled when it stalled and was impossible to land!

  • SNAW FA-88 (Variable Geometry) 8.4 years ago

    Nice work, variable geometry with 3D wings, wonder how many realize this accomplishment. You say so in your description, but does anyone realize how tricky that could be?

  • I need true help. 8.4 years ago

    Here's another good Zero, my favorite one in a long time.

  • MiG-25P "Foxbat-A" FINAL 8.4 years ago

    I've seen the occasional Mig-31 here, but never a Foxbat, much less such a great build...nice job!

  • Republic P-47B Thunderbolt 8.4 years ago

    Noice! My all-time favorite WWII fighter!

  • B-17 in Peril! 8.4 years ago

    @ThePlaninatior, it's "beat it", like the Michael Jackson song. Yeah, the syntax doesn't make sense, but that's how you would say it!
