@IssaIwan I think this is an excellent idea for a mod, because I think it would tremendously benefit a segment of the playerbase. There are some pretty clever modders around here, maybe they could cook something up.
As for making planes that fly right, I ABSOLUTELY AGREE 100% Why in the hell would someone spend weeks building a gorgeous plane and then not bother to make it fly? What is wrong with these people? It's sickening.
For all that to work the 5 or 6 people who work at Jundroo would have to spend their time building a fairly sophisticated AI that only a few people would use. That means virtually no other new content whatsoever. Not to mention us the users would have to start building planes that fly realistically (something only about 3% of us actually pay attention to).
Or you could march yourself over to the mod section, pickup the Multiplayer mod and make some new friends on here. That sounds like a win-win to me.
@HistoricBirds You can create uneven camo shapes along fuselage blocks by using fuselage inlets and modifying the inlet angle. You can also create interesting patterns by placing identically shaped (but differently colored) objects in the exact same place and then rotating one of them a tiny bit.
@BlackhattAircraft The last all-original airworthy survivor is in Chino, California. All the others are cobbled together from parts of a variety of aircraft.
@mojoyup Details are important. Include them. I see you are building on a windows platform and that you have quite a lot of potential, but you're struggling to get more than a handful of votes. The answer is details. People upvote stuff that looks exciting. Are you using Finetuner and Overload mods? If not, get them. Download a few builder background mods too, to make your screenshots look exciting. See if you can include more fine details like panel seams, gauges and decals. I like your work, it shouldn't take much more effort to get you on the front page.
Worrying about when to post a plane is like worrying about what color paper napkins come with the hamburger you ordered: maybe you should be thinking harder about the hamburger.
Looks like a Fairchild C-119. There aren't very many twin-boom cargo planes, and even fewer that saw large scale production, so it's a pretty safe bet it's an old Flying Boxcar
Dude. Srsly. Chill out. I doubt that all 7 people who still post in here hate you. And even if they did, that's like .03% of the people who play the game. Get up, go for a walk. Come back when you've gotten it together.
A bunch of kids on dirt bikes could beat the Ratte, just go around it. The thing wouldn't be able to move, much less cross any kind of sloping terrain.
You need to attach moving parts last.
Strikey, you have upped your game!

+1Not bad. How about this?
Wat?
@BlackhattAircraft Nice work. Simple, clear, unmistakable.

+1I hope you enjoy it
@hobbitfrog Remove all the letters from it. The plane only has 430 parts, without the lettering you can drop it under 350 I bet.
@BlackhattAircraft I sure will
Here
@Chancey21 I was so triggered, then I looked closer.
+3"Oh boy, I hope he lists a bunch of stuff he hasn't built yet and doesn't post any interesting pictures," said no one.
+1Kinda weird that you're doing the Battle of Britain with English bombers and no German bombers.

@BlackhattAircraft Furthest west I've been is Utah.
Berlin won't know what hit it. Good job!
+1If JamesPlanesII can do it, then JamesPlanesI can do it better!
+2Hard to choose. Maybe a Saunders-Roe Princess?

+1@BlackhattAircraft The last all-original airworthy survivor is in Chino, California. All the others are cobbled together from parts of a variety of aircraft.
+1Proto is right, just use a camera
@Tully2001 Do you really want to know? :)
+1@BlackhattAircraft lol, there's only 2 left in real life (and only one with a real Nakajima engine). I meant on here.
I did the math once, there's a P-51 posted on here almost once a day on average.
@BlackhattAircraft I don't see many Zekes, considering how important they were.
@GhostHTX XD
@mojoyup Sure thing, you got talent. I'm looking forward to stuff you'll build.
@mojoyup There are numerous 3D backgrounds available. They're all mods and usuqlly have the word "Builder" in them.
@BlackhattAircraft What's your big 4? To me, it's just 3: Spitfire, Mustang, Messerschmitt.

+2@ThePilotDude thanks
@ThePilotDude It's just a joke. You can only build what you want to build. You can't decide not to be thirsty. To know the Spit is to love her.
+1Worrying about when to post a plane is like worrying about what color paper napkins come with the hamburger you ordered: maybe you should be thinking harder about the hamburger.
+1People don't upvote repeat posts, that's just how it is. If you want it to be popular, you gotta do it right the first time.
+3Download a plane that doesn't have this problem. Tear the wings off. Put the wings on your plane. You're welcome.
+1Do we need another Spitfire? Has it been 3 hours already?
+4A rusty 1992 Camaro up on cinder blocks, surrounded by tall grass and weeds.
I don't see why you couldn't do that with the tools we have on hand.
@TitanIncorporated Thanks!
Finetuner
@HistoricBirds Cheers

+2@BlackhattAircraft It's important to be pragmatic, choose something that works. Don't just be different for it's own sake.
Other nations use manufacturer suffixes (Mig-21, Me-262), or simply assign each plane a single name instead of a number (Rafale, Spitfire).
You beautiful lunatic.
You should make more stuff like this, very well done Strikey!
+2FOR MAKE GLORIOUS POWER OF SOVIET AGRICULTURAL!
