Well, if that were the dimensions of a real plane it would have wing loading, lift, and capacity issues since the wings are so small compared to the rest of the body. So maybe you should do some research on aeronautics, lift, and conventional designs before you criticize me who has studied aerospace for years.@RYAviation
@KnightOfRen it works for everyone else dude just sayin. when you attach parts you do it outside of that blueprint view. Then you adjust the dimesions when you go back to that view. There is an orthographic view button in the viewing controls that looks like two squares.
the colors on the armament are also incorrect you should have used common conventions for the paint scheme of the armament. Sorry to nitpick but im a weapons guy
realistically its performance is ok except for the engine which is way too small to produce enough power. This also goes 500 knts with the wings not swept its not really feasible and its supposed to be more of an attacker based on the design. The engine just seems too small in comparisin to the rest of the plane to be honest. The functionality of everything is great however. On the design, it seems more eastern design than western design. Japan hasnt made an indigenous fighter yet so i would have gone more along the lines of a multrole fighter jet.
Make some good stuff first then put links to your best builds, maybe some tutorials and a bit about yourself. Nobody really ever looks at profiles so it’s not that important
COM directly under the rotors you can get it there most of the time using the weight shift. Also, go into xml in the rotor scalars and turn everything that has torque in the name to 0. Gyros are ok to use for Helios but try to only use 1 and for basic operation only. You can add another one for hover if you like.
Thnx I’ve been doing a lot of flight models recently in lieu of time consuming projects. Learned a lot more about how wing loading and things like that impact performance. I would like to see an AOA performance fix in the near future though. Gotta be honest, one of the most frustrating things, and yes it’s up there with the undo button lol. Thanks a lot again nice to have praise from a dev @weebabyseamus
@edensk First of all, you’re assumption of F-16 performance is inaccurate at best. If you have ever flown an F-16 or even in a simulation like DCS you normally won’t hit even 20 AOA plus it’s even harder to hit it in SP. ChiChiWerx already hit on your 4Gs comment, and for stall speed the F-16 normally lands at 130-140knts. Your nitpicking on detail is something that I have not found while reviewing this build and he did have someone help him with the flight model. ME. So if you want to critique this build I would like you to first do some more research and have some toleration for Simple Planes inaccuracies in AOA. And second, have some respect for the builder. I am only that harsh on people who call it a replica and flies like crap. So I would advise you to hold your tongue. I respect you and your outlooks most of the time but certainly not on this.
Now imagine:
Cruise Ship (Without Life Boats)
Titanic:
+5Why is everyone looking at me?!
A HEMTT can climb about 25 degrees @Chancey21
Lmao
G.I. Hosè?
Did you mean G.I. José

@Rakoval500k These work for me. You are probably attaching them incorrectly try attaching them with the attachment menu then move them into place

hmmm flares dont work for me
Just absolutely gross.
Body is too long or wings arent wide enough, other than that it looks good
@KnightOfRen it takes me maybe 10 mins to find an accurate blueprint and then scale it in the designer
@KnightOfRen wdym, its the easiest system ever lmfao
all you have to do is import a picture and scale it and build...
Cool but..... The nose is too long or the wings aren't big enough
that moment when BogdanX takes shots at your build...
+1cool
+1Why don't you just use blueprints smh
+4looks soviet but the radar scope doesnt match up with any Russian planes i know of....
is the first picture LG or an airbrake?
@MatthewCoolman no
@IntelHDGraphics4000 yeah I know, 60 bucks for a nonexisting item is brutal
too bad its $60+
the colors on the armament are also incorrect you should have used common conventions for the paint scheme of the armament. Sorry to nitpick but im a weapons guy
@Dimkal the tails still look too extended, did you use a blueprint when you built the weapons?

+1Those also dont look like GBU-12s but i think the HARM is ok
I have to test it out but it looks really good. They don't look like GBU-38s the tails look too long on them which version are they?
@Dllama4 you should make a jetpack guy for your next build it would be pretty funny lol
@ThatKindaWeeb nope look at the formatting thread on the forums page its the first one. then go to links
Would spotlight!
Ha funny @SnoWFLakE0s
Try building some replicas first it’s hard to give you any advice if your planes are mostly abstract

Holy...

Did you get a photo of the jet pack guy? Lol
So is the viewpoint 30ft above the camera? Lol
Hmmm I will try and see thank you for bringing this to my attention it might be a problem with an update I’ll get back to you on it@Rakoval500k
I love how German medium tanks are everyone else’s heavy tanks... 😂
+1It’s from the new update@SuperStriker33

+2BTW @2Papi2Chulo I like how you were able to keep a good cockpit view and still do the ECM I really like how that feature turned out!
I did the flight model. Am I a worthy pupil yet?@ChiChiWerx
+2You said DCS. YES!
Someone else actually knows what that is ahahahahahaha!
Inspect element
Flies great, fights great, looks great! Best F-16 replica out there!
Best F-16 cockpit I’ve seen that’s not 2k parts+
AWESOME!
AWESOME!
+1I win
