There's something interesting about these old planes made with blocks... You can make liveries easier!
When you use the fuselage blocks to make the fuselage, you have to add very thin layers of fuselage blocks and paint them just to make a decent livery, and that doubles the part count. Things change with these blocks: You can just paint the blocks you want to necessary colors, and that doesn't increase the part count at all. Also, the fuselage blocks take more processing time (according to my experience).
Put the terrain and shadows settings to medium, there almost won't be any difference. Also reduce the water and aircraft reflections quality to low, it won't have a big impact too.
Some parts lag more. For example, my phone can handle 300 parts like it's nothing, but lagged with my A-10 Thunderbolt II (see my profile page's first plane) which only had around 180 parts. That's because most of them were weapons. Weapons and gizmos take more power than wings and wings take more power than dumb fuselage blocks.
I even did a kamikaze attack on it with USS Beast (I was controlling it using this: https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/gG9595/USS-Beast-Controller-USS-Controbeast) at 1200 knots and all the Cleavers exploding and it didn't even scratch its back.
@botowo You mean this: https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/fBsP3r/funky-weird-wing-design-bomber-thing right? I didn't know about it before making these.
But actually it is pretty good and funny!
Its not because your planes are bad. They are actually quite good. You just need to write descriptions that make the viewer want to download your craft.
About the airfoils, yes you always want the most lift, but flat bottom produces more drag than semi symmetric and semi symmetric produces more drag than symmetric. You must find the perfect balance between lift and drag, because more drag means less top speed. For light and fast planes, e.g. fighter jets, i recommend symmetric airfoil, for medium size planes, e.g. business jets, small airliners, i recommend semi symmetric, and for small and slow propeller planes (cessna, cirrus) and thicc fat boys (antonov 225) use flat bottom.
The rear spoiler/wing is way too high and long. Make it lower and also shorter, approx. as long as the wheels are wide it'll be a lot more realistic-looking. Other than that, it is pretty cool!

Thanks for ALL upvotes! )
I'm late, but...
Airbus-CASA 295 maybe?
Thanks for the upvote and spotlight, @Jesse201 !

This is REALLY good! I was working on a project like this with the Frecce Tricolori planes but abandoned it after lots of bugs.
I'd like to see imaginations of Boeing 797... Maybe you can do it?
Normal airliners apply 60 - 90 % off throttle during take off, maybe they accelerate slower because of this.
UAV, but why does it have cockpit?
Anyway, nice build!
Kind of strange-looking but very good!
@CaptainRex123 Yes, but you're too late)
Cute

+1Kamikaze budget cuts
Elephant plane with elephant teeth and elephant engine
+1How did you find those little old props?

@LeonardorHD1 Ok! I'll start building it today.
@Vukasin123king I have decent skills with XML. If you have the Overload mod, I can get you started.
Very detailed cockpit and only 235 parts. Man you are unbeatable!
@Vukasin123king Anyway, they are pretty nice!
Approaching gold!
I made a 1100+ parts Antonov 124 on my Android a while ago but didn't post it because it was so laggy that I couldn't test its performance
I like this bad boy
+3But my mobile doesn't like 2167 parts
Based on Jundroo's Tutorial Plane.
LogicLogic
+1Hell yeah I saw it :-D
Part count is two and the only visible part is the cockpit, means that the tiny block exists
+1Btw I can't find it
This plane thing's wake turbulence vs Cessna 172
Kinda like a Cub... but with shorter wings.
+1@SimpleSquareManufacturer CRJ 737 Neo maybe?
3322 successors.
+4Hmmmm
When you put Blasto J15s on this plane instead of those props and set the power multiplier to 800 it flies like dream...
+4What should I make next? Tell me in the comments!
@BloodFart Windows 9 doesn't exist, it can't hurt you
Dude yo
What should I make next? Maybe a controllable USS Beast? Or a controllable Missile Launcher in Snowstone? Let me know here in the comments!
THANKS!
This helped me
+1A LOTWhAt

HeLL
Disable collisions of the prop with Overload XML Editor. Its on Windows and Android, idk about iOS and MacOS.

Eggplane Concorde or Blackbird!

Center of mass is too far in the rear
Add fuel or dead weight in the front
more eco friendly than ever...
saw this just after destroyed its propellers in ace combat 7 mission 3

Looks super weird. But your model is very cool, and has potential!
