Ok I actually have a really awesome idea for improvement: We make our own shapes. When I made my F-16 I didn’t know what to do with those pesky fuselage curves so I simplified it. It would be great if we could do something like Autodesk where we make a drawing and can extrude, loft ,and pattern things. This will make building easier, more accurate and save a ton of time. I would still have the fuselage block and some other things but this would help a ton!!! @ChiChiWerx @CoolPeach @jamesPLANESii
Nice you used the inlet technique too. I had to do that on my F-16 in multiple places. Idk why they can’t add the angle property to fuselage parts@WarHawk95
@CalebRepublic your tanks look very good! you just need to add details like logs on there or a fuel tank and latches. Just in general the more detailed things are the more people will like them. Also, if you have a pc use the screenshots mod, if you dont then consider getting one. Custom in game screenshots shows that you are serious.
Immediate upvote there aren't enough of these. BTW looks great and flies great. One thing, The cockpit on the osprey was modeled after the UH-60 and the engines actually turn when yaw is hit in the VTOL mode to move it horizontally. The nose makes it look a little off. Then again, you know I'm super picky lol.
@Miyubiaircraft Look, my first F-16 it wasn't good either but I got better and went back and made a much better one. If you want to improve your building style start with some replicas start with WW2 fighters and go from there. To create good airplanes you have to understand the history of aviation to some degree.
Use the blueprint mode next time. If you click the eye in the user interface while building you will see a blueprint icon click on that import a picture and scale it. You can scale by looking up the length of the aircraft and then making a fuselage piece that ends up being that long. Then all you need to do is put the edges together and write down the length scale for future refrence. Then you build using the same scale for each view. Note: Width automatically scales with length. Also, get a image that is clear and has crisp lines.
Start doing replicas; they will help you with the building style. Start with ww2 fighters then go to more modern stuff and bounce around a little.

@EternalDarkness yeah you were the one who helped me out on my crappy f-16 about a year or two ago its where i got my start. I still haven't finished my JU-88 I never got that undercarriage quite right Ill prob end up posting it without the working cockpit and stuff RIP Ju-88
Really great job for the part count
Looks great anyway tho
It’s a 30 round mag tho thats the same standard mag on an mp5 so it should be that length@Bman01
Also make the mag bigger and bring the stock up

+1Looks great!

+1Nostalgia
+1did you just scale the thing??!! lol haha
Well done, again!
+1love the wing shape btw did you panel these?
Did I hear TEXAS
+1One more thing, Building your fictional planes in the style of real planes makes them look more.... well real.

next, try the v-280 some time its the upgraded version. Saw it at an airshow one time and it was pretty dang cool.

lol I remember reading those books
+1I guess you could say this is for passing the time.

+2surprised more people didn't upvote this it looks very good
+1Also, use custom weapons and use custom control surfaces.Link Remember Quality is found in hard work and not compromising.

Very good! I'll make sure to use this as a resource when I finish building my T-38A
Yep lol Texas is the best@QingyuZhou
Lol@AceOfSpade
I hope it's okay if I'm doing a fictional desert camo tho
@MAHADI Yep!
Good. I was already making a FW-190 D-9 so this will fit in perfectly!
@AceOfSpade It doesnt matter if he LIKES Dr.Pepper lol
You're in my state now!
+1Yessssir
nice
+2So its a giant flying magazine, cool!
+1looks great but if cockpit visibility was a concern you would not be able to see out of the sides. lol
+1Use the structural wings in XMl the part of is Wing-2 @CalebRepublic
Wack@WIZARD2017
Oof idk sorry man@Mastermind1941
@CoolPeach hows the f-16 coming along?
it look so lumpy. you could probably simplify the hood right?
i never understood how the drop nose heled it aerodynamically tho
make ur own f-16
bruh this be a ripoff of Ricardos not cool
@asteroidbook345 yeah but you need the beta to run it only the Chinese government has that...
@EternalDarkness yeah you were the one who helped me out on my crappy f-16 about a year or two ago its where i got my start. I still haven't finished my JU-88 I never got that undercarriage quite right Ill prob end up posting it without the working cockpit and stuff RIP Ju-88
idk why but the nose is bothering me sorry lol
+1When your mentor is 10 upvotes ahead of you lol
+1potential right here people!
Tips:
don't use nose cone it looks weird lol
use the EternalDarkness' custom wing tutorials
keep building
