Man, I went a year without posting anything. Just keep building is what I have to say. It's what I did and it worked perfectly. I don't follow deadlines or a strict schedule. I just build, post, and let the magic happen. One more piece of advice that worked for me is to make your posts stand out in terms of thumbnails and such. Works just fine for me.
I had to replace all of your control surfaces, but that turned out to be the issue. Here's the post if you want to do some more tweaks. Nothing was changed except for the wings. Fix
Alright, man. Listen. I’m not the kind to get super stingy with reposts. But you only added 11 parts. So, how changing are the 11 parts, may I ask? Otherwise, I’m gonna need you to take this down before the mods find out. Wouldn’t want you getting in more trouble.
Damn, I mean. It isn't exactly something you learn overnight, tbh. It took me 6 years just to get to where I'm at and I don't even consider myself pro yet lol. I'll tell you this, though: experimentation is key. Play around with different parts and build methods. Look at reference pics and practice trying to replicate the shapes and curves. One thing I keep trying to teach myself, though I never learn, is that your builds don't have to be perfect. The builds you see here on the site, the ones that look ridiculously smooth, no imperfections whatsoever, take years of practice to pull off. You can start of simpler, like me. Not trying to promote myself here, but have a look at some of my examples.
Osiris A little less than 2 years ago, I was still building my fuselages out of whole parts. No paneling, no slicing, none of that. You can still make nice shapes without getting fancy, but it can only get better.
Osiris II Paneling was my next "level up." If you don't want to get too fancy with part slicing, you can use panels to sculpt out the shapes that you want. I used a little bit of left/right slicing to get my panels lined up properly, but they're really just rectangles and squares.
Taranis Rex Now, part slicing, is where it can get a little funky. I've only used it once with this build. You use big fuselage parts, sometimes with lengths and widths exceeding 4-5, and then slice them into the shapes that you want. It can be tedious and tiring, but 9 times out of 10, the results are worth it.
So, my honest advice? Start off like me. Start with making fuselages using simple shapes. No paneling, no slicing, nothing. Once you think you've got a hang of simple fuselages, move on to paneling for more complex shapes. Experiment with curves and stealth shaping. Finally, once you've learned paneling, you can experiment with part slicing. If you want, you can take some of my builds (90% of them are mobile friendly, just watch the performance cost) and study them. Or, you can hit me up for help. I already taught my friend @EmpressAndressia, I wouldn't mind becoming a mentor once again. Just keep experimenting and don't quit.
Turns out it was an AI plane.
+1@HuskyDynamics01 Sounds good. Thanks.
+1@EmpressAurore Lol. Take it and upload it for youself. Maybe you'll get an extra upvote and stop being a noobie.

+1@SomeSPGuyWhoLikesLore I was thinking Deimos from R6, but Madness Combat works too lol
+13 upvotes in less than 10 minutes... you guys froze it... :sob:
+1@GJESTER10 I linked it in my comment
+1@GuardianAerospace Gotcha. Count me in.
+1This would've been lit had I discovered it 3 months ago......... .__.
+1Yeah, I'm not gonna say it...

+1KCC Abyssal Dart (My first thought was KCC Neptune's Sting, but eh, it doesn't click as much.)
+1All I gotta say is hell yeah.
+1@SomeSPGuyWhoLikesLore Heavily inspired. Love it.
+1Forgot to fix the drag--
+1Thanks! @Abhishek700
+1Lol. 👍@JohnnyBoythePilot
+1@Zoomzoom999 Nevermind, I fixed it. Thanks, @jamesPLANESii.
+1I screenshot the diagrams. Very important to know if you are looking forward to a career in aviation!
+1@CloverAerospaceDivision Fair nuff
@CloverAerospaceDivision Hmmmm... 8.3/10. I feel like it could be just a pinch better
@CloverAerospaceDivision Hmmm… 7/10. Could be better. More unique
🐤
@RestlessGalaxies yuh
@RestlessGalaxies You should rejoin the Discord, vro. It would make this 10x easier lol
@RestlessGalaxies Uhhhhhh… sure why not. How many?
@RestlessGalaxies Wuhguh
Damn. You’re right

@HansaIndustries I meant literally lol. I work with UPS IRL
@ivansheppard853gmail Must be something on your end... The HUD should still be working fine
@CloverAerospaceDivision Shiiieet I got nothing
@MIGFOXHOUND31BSM26 :frek:
@MIGFOXHOUND31BSM26 you have rejected the f-16, therefore I have claimed it

@BoredDeffy A certain someone is here >:(
🗿
@CloverAerospaceDivision I'm the same, but in reverse. I spoil my Air Force while my Navy gets nothing lol
I forgot to hand out credits for some of the HUDs and screens. If you recognize a piece, let me know and I’ll credit you on the original build.
Download Here
@ShinyGemsBro Thank you. You also see the MiG and the Hornet and not the cough cough Flanker
@ZealousKestrel That’s what happens when you take a 2-year hiatus lol. Appreciate it though

@Titanik No, actually. The entire flight model's kinda messed up, especially if you're playing on low physics. Download the fix instead
