@RailfanEthan is right. What if Trump had read this? How many innocent people would've been killed before he realized the mistake and blamed it on Hillary Clinton?
@dcshoeco193 I like the early, black and white illustrations, though the recent IDW issues are brilliant as well. But I think you're referring to the films, which of course the Urban/Thirlby/Headey version is the obvious winner.
@8bitgamer33 I love the Wright flyer, but your claim that nobody would ever make airplanes had the Wrights not done so is ridiculous. That's like suggesting that if the first-place runner in a race hadn't shown up, that no one else would have run. The future is unwritten, and that's how it was for the people of the past as well. Had the Wrights not flown at Kittyhawk, there were plenty of others taking to the sky around that time.
As a matter of fact, the Wright brothers damaged American aviation by ruthlessly suing anyone else who tried to build airplanes in the USA. For a decade the States lagged behind European countries because the monopoly the Wright brothers held.
@HistoricBirds Originally built during WW2 as an A-26B, the Invader was redesignated B-26B in 1948 (around the same time as the Airforce split from the Army). All solid-nosed Invaders are B models, all glass-nosed Invaders are C models. This is how the aircraft would've looked in 1953.
If you stretch certain fuselage blocks too far in certain ways it messes up the way the game processes shadows. The result is a strangely reflective surface that can look a bit translucent, but not in a good way.
@jamesPLANESii Planesii, is that Greek? It sounds Greek. Anyway, the way it was explained to me was that you can increase the size of the bomb, which increases the size of the visual explosion, but there was no way to effect the damage of a bomb. Obviously I heard that on these forums, and I could be wrong... but anyway.
Yes, with fine tuner mod. But only do it with all three dimensions equally. If you try to stretch just one direction, you will experience hilarious disaster.
I find that I do a better job on planes I really, really like. Find one that really grabs your attention, maybe it'll inspire you to go all out for it.
@GeneralOliverVonBismarck Right. But the A-26 was real, and people really used it in combat for almost half a century. Few aircraft could match it for counter-insurgency operations until the AC gunships were developed.
@AircraftoftheRedStar Same here. I try to make my planes realistic up to a point, but there are a lot of cool planes that never saw mass production for very good reasons.
@AircraftoftheRedStar As long as you keep the blue behind the red, you'll be good to go. That's one of the nice things about Simple Planes, sometimes you can make them fly better than the real thing. :)
@AircraftoftheRedStar Maybe, but for high caliber, slow firing guns you're going to want stability. With forward swept wings you'd have problems at trans sonic speeds, but more importantly you'd have an inherantly unstable plane. You'd be lucky to get it to fly at all without computer assistence, much less line up a shot effectively.
IOS is the devil. It doesn't support mods. If you've heard otherwise, go ask the people you heard it from. I know it's frustrating, but we can't help you. Blame Apple.
Because that's not how aircraft work. In real life, the yaw controls are used sparingly and in conjunction with the roll controls. To understand the why's and how's of this, you're going to have to read a bit about aerodynamics. I recommend wikipedia.
@randomusername Relativity is real. It has been studied and measured. Perhaps we humans don't understand it entirely, I do not know. What I do know is that if satellites did not account for time dilation, many things we use would not work. Right now, we live in an age where people look at science, decide they don't like what they see and make up their own story. Don't fall into that trap, challenge yourself to learn.
Relativity prevents objects with mass from approaching the speed of light. Through a phenomenon called time dilation, time begins to move slower a d slower for fast-moving objects.
This all might sound like sci-fi hocus pocus, but it is actually part of the GPS technology we take for granted every day. Distant satellites have to compensate for time dilation in order for GPS to work.
@CptJacobson You only added it after two people reminded you. You're lucky we care so much.
@JelloAircraftCorporation Fret not, comrade. Also, nice plane you got there on the front page.
More like dank times! Yololololol
@CptJacobson Happy? No. You were lucky this time. Meditate on your mistake, be grateful no one was hurt and never do this again.
+1Don't set mass to zero, that causes bugs. Instead, try multiplying it by .01

Does this mean you won't be making any more forum posts today?

Not piece.

There are hundreds of them on here.
Few planes were smaller than the Yakovlev Yak-3. Her pilots liked to call her the "Little Beauty"

This is a common peoblem with a small vaeiety of causes that have been exhaustively covered. If you've got any more questions after that, lemme know.

I thought they had a 12 year timer that restarts whenever anyone posts questions like this in the forms. Was that just a rumor?

Not to scale but looks great. Would dig with bare hands immediately after spawning again.
