If you pull this one off with the accuracy I see here and it's able to fire the missiles out of the weapons bay without blowing up, you'll have the top scoring plane...EVER
You built the entire front of the fuse out of intake shapes? How did you get a pointy nose then? It's pretty much perfectly shaped from what I can see (which isn't much right now)
Innovative experiment. Mentioning the speed thing, it would be great if we had some supersonic effects in SP, but, alas, straight wing and swept wing aircraft fly exactly the same way...
@MethaManAircraft well, if you read the fine print, the Platinum players are also affected if they have never had a feature and the rules haven't changed for Bronze or Silver players, simply expanded to now include Gold players.
Wow, a bit of a shift in the Devs' thinking, I think it'll be beneficial to the community as some amazing creations can now appear as the very first thing a prospective user might see.
@FlyingHonda27 it was so close, and I only saw how close, when I paused it to look around and actually saw the missile...it would have totally schwacked me without my ever having seen it. So it was a total fluke to get the screenshot, I swear I was not trying to get it at all!
Oh my gosh, that was the best, most hilarious Top Gear episode ever...to see that thing explode into the ground and into a billion pieces was priceless, especially after all the intensity of the launch and the earnestness of those rocket guys who really, really, really wanted to fly that thing to landing! Kind of like a clown on fire...funny, but sad!
@Delphinus how do you do that in Imgur? I can see the image under my Imgur account, plus a bunch of choices in dialogue boxes to the right of the image, including "Markdown link" "BBCode", a couple with a ".png" suffix, but I don't see a ".jpg" for any of the selections. Will a ".png" post?
@RailfanEthan no, not necessarily. The Japanese did fly flags from their cockpits on occasion during WWII. Also, when I was a kid, we were stationed in Chad at the U.S. Embassy. They flew a pair of American flags in the Ambassador's C-47, put them just outside the pilot and copilot's windows. As I was younger and fascinated with airplanes, I asked my dad why they didn't just fly around with them all the time and he told me they worked fine when out there for approach and landing, but would get torn up if they were out there for long periods of time at higher speeds.
Nice...how did you use the multiselect on fine tuner? I downloaded it and have been learning how to use it, but am not familiar with "multiselect", though I think I understand what it is conceptually...
@RAF1 agreed, but it was the color scheme that I could accurately replicate. I think I can mod this into the Kiwi version fairly well, Green all over with black markings and a gold hue canopy...
It takes me hours of effort (6 - 8 hours I would estimate) to build a good 100 part creation. Perhaps I'm slower than most, the putting together is not the toughest part, it's actually the testing, tweaking, re-building and perfecting that takes more time. I am not into slapping together a creation because it would cause me to cringe whenever I open my profile to see it sitting in my "Posts" section.
Yes, iOS lags and it doesn't have nudge and you can't mod parts, but I've built exclusively on iOS so far. Check out some of my builds to see what's possible on iOS and I'm by far not the best builder on iOS! An iOS trick which helps to replace nudge is "burying" parts. To try it out, put a .25 x .25 fuse next to another resizeable fuse, then make it bigger...it'll submerge itself. Though it takes a bit of a different thought process, you can build some impressive designs on iOS, so don't be so quick to dismiss it as a platform, try a few builds, take some apart by other iOS users and good luck!
@ForeverPie I really like it, you really nailed the details here. I was just on a SWA 737 this past week, had my iPhone out and was working my own version but didn't have a clue how to do the color scheme...but, you got it just right!
I usually notice airplanes in SP, but this is very unique, not many sailing vessels, not to mention old time sailing warships, ships of the line, galleons, etc. How does it work? I can't download on my iPhone...engines buried in the hull or is there a wind mod for SP ;) ?
Noice!!!
Suggest you use semi-reflective for the paint because that's how the actual plane's paint is...
If you pull this one off with the accuracy I see here and it's able to fire the missiles out of the weapons bay without blowing up, you'll have the top scoring plane...EVER
Very close to a Mirage III, you should consider going all out on a Mirage III replica...
Cool, nice first build.
I do, so keep building!
Cool configuration.
Pleasing lines, though the default screenshot really doesn't do it justice!

NIce! @Sunnyskies, check out this one!
Wow, ok, nice!
Nice job, I was just looking at an old copy of Flight 174 that I had on my bookshelf and thinking about building one of these, but you beat me to it!
🇺🇸 'Murica, dang right! 🇺🇸
@luciozanassi thanks for the spotlight!
Well, you're really into ships these days, aren't you! A bit ironic as you claim in your bio that you're not good at boats 🤓

@EternalDarkness, great!
Nice, I like the markings and uniquenessbof this build
This is an interesting concept, a four-engined Beagle...

@MechWARRIOR57 True story...
I will pray you're safe. God is provident.
@Delphinus cool, thanks!

Maybe someone can see a screenshot here? All I can see at this computer is a black box with white x in it...
!Test Link
Nice, I'm a bit surprised that it actually flies so well.

Which plane are you trying to download?
@PINK thanks for the Spotlight!

@NativeChief1492 @BogdanX @RedHawk thanks!

Your first upvote, keep building 'em!
Hey! A mini F-4, cool!
@Tully2001 huh! You're right, that would work, thanks!
I like it, nice representation of an F-16XL, don't see many of those on this site.

Nice...you should take this as a base for conversion to an L39, which is what, obviously, the "Besra" was modeled after.

Kind of like a Flanker, nice! Did you use the stock intakes?
@Stampede possibly, but fuse shape and intake shape completely different between the two,
@Stampede not F-86...F-100, similar but different. What about a C-130?
Also looks a lot like an F-4
