@Dimkal I don't think I will be able to complete my maritime strike Backfire in time for the 29th. If you can delay the due date, I would be grateful. But you've already given us plenty of time to complete our entries, so I understand if you decide not to.
@AviownCorp Yes, and those wings aren't for fighters, so don't worry. I just wanted you to see the effort some people put into wings.
There are other, less complicated methods. But it will take a bit of pulling things apart and studying things before you'll be able to get comfortable with it.
When you select a part in Overload, it lists the type of part at the top of the window. Next to that name tag is a tab pull down that lists various things (generic part stuff like position etc. Input stuff life activation group etc. and part-specific stuff) Search through the tabs untill you find what you need.
I think that is how gyros work. I usually use rotators on pitch/roll input for turrets for ease of use, nice sustained movement, easy to orient, familiar to most gamers.
I really appreciate all the time you put into that mod, it makes a huge difference for most of us. Even people who can't use mods get other people to fix parts for them.
@jamesPLANESii Same here. I know I shouldn't piss all over other peoples beliefs, but it is very hard for me to control myself when confronted by that stuff.
I'm very sorry that happened to you. One of the coolest things about the internet is meeting new people and learning from them, it seems like you were trying to share your knowledge and had it thrown back at you viciously. Youtube is a great source of entertainment, and even a place to learn a thing or two sometimes, but the "culture" there is not so great. While there are plenty of awesome youtubers, many people on there are closed minded, self absorbed and cruel. The idea of becoming a celebrity or have an audience attracts unpleasant human beings sometimes, but don't rule out the rest of humanity too soon. Ok?
Just make what you want, if you make it well then people will like it. If you make things because you think other people will like it then you'll just get bored.
Study photos of the real thing to fet a deel for where things like landing gear should be. The center of mass is usualy a few feet ahead of the main landing gear. Knowing where to put the center of mass will help make the plane handle more realistically and takeoff/land better.
@Mostly The Spitfire was notoriously labor intensive to build, wheras the North American plant that built Mustangs was famously modern and efficient. While it may have cost more American money to build a Mustang, they could be produced with greater ease than the Spitfire.
As a dogfighter, the Spitfire is a wonderful tool in the hands of a skilled officer. But that's it. It was short ranged and overly expensive. It's a defensive weapon because as soon as you take it over enemy land, your allotment of fuel for combat is very small. It was an excellent early war design, and will always be among the most agile things to fly, but it is incomparable to the long range aircraft.
The P-51 ravaged Germany in ways the Spit never could. From its massive numbers to its amazing speed and range to its handling. Everyone knows about how it completely changed the strategic bombing campaigns with its ability to escort the heavies all the way to Berlin. But did you know what truly nailed the ciffin shut on the Luftwaffe? On the way back from their missions, P-51's were "cut loose" to roam for targets of opportunity. Thousands upon thousands of German aircraft were perforated on the ground by roaming Mustangs. You just couldn't do stuff like that in a Spitfire, she wasn't designed for it.
@ChiChiWerx It's silly. The Spitfire was a really maneuverable plane, but compared to the Mustang? Forget it. You can't win a war with Spitfires, they couldn't even win the Battle of Britain with them because they were too costly to make and had to rely on Hawkers.
I love the Spitfire, but it is designed to fill an extremely narrow role.
One was a short-range interceptor, the other was a high-altitude, long-range escort.
Just because they both were fighters does not mean they were doing the same job. It's like comparing a hammer to a drill. You're smarter than this, people.
@AikoFoxNeko If you use the wings off of my 105, the wings will not flex or break at any speed. You might wanna steal the engine too. No need to give credit.
As an IOS user, I strongly recommend you build planes from the 1940's and 1950's. The reason being is that it is very hard to make mach 2 and mach 3 planes without xml editing.
@randomusername Keeping the nose level prevents the wings from generating extra lift. As the nose rises, wings produce more and more lift untill a stall occurs, and then bad things start to happen.
@AikoFoxNeko Yes you can, just run a plane search for "modded engines."
Just because you can't modify them yourself doesn't mean you can't use them. There are plenty of color coded sets that people have posted over the years.

@sunburn All is forgiven, my brother.
@AviownCorp 3D wings that curve, instead of the flat kind. It's a lot of work, but worth it.
HIS NAME IS @HELLFIREKODER
You're getting very skilled with body panels and decals. I think it's time you started learning how to make more sophisticated wings and landing gear.

The P-51 didn't have a jet engine, it had a supercharger.
Very impressive, please link me when it's uploaded.

WHEN IN THE HELL ARE YOU GOING TO MAKE AN ARMORED TRAIN?
Steal the one from my 105. Two of those are more than enough.

+1@AikoFoxNeko Steal the wings off of my F-105. They're structural with flaps, ailerons etc.
@AikoFoxNeko Yeah, I think the fastest I ever got without modding was mach 2.
@AikoFoxNeko They all need to get refuelled. Everything fast, anyway. You can run a car all year on the gas an F-15 burns in one minute.
@planelover400 Working on a Sov Jet. Considering doing a B-36
@AikoFoxNeko I'm looking forward to seeing you gold.

Very clever.
The vertical tail needs to be larger, consider adding ventral stabilizer. Otherwise, looking good.
@Spectre2520 Its cool, I just thought it was funny. Here, have an upvote.
I think you need to look up what the word ultimate means in the dictionary.
The description is awful, but the plane looks great!
They painted them at the factory, fyi.
The best floor fan I've seen on here all week!
