@DarthAbhinav Now THAT is something. Swordplay in Skyrim in not bad, and dual-wielding is certainly the most effective way to do melee combat. Magic quickly becomes unstoppable if you choose carefully. Have you tried archery? That was my favorite.

Nose-up does not necessarily mean lift, it could lead to a stall and you certainly don't want your nose pointing upward in a stall.
That said, nose-up is usually a lot more comfortable to manage than nose-heavy. That's probably why we almost never see seaplanes on here. People have a tough time building good seaplanes with a decently high center of lift.
@DarthAbhinav Beat you? I wasn't aware Skyrim had multiplayer. However, I am aware that 80 hours is pretty much nothing. I usually delete my character around level 30 and start a new one, otherwise the game becomes much too simple. Besides, with so much lore and backstory, inventing the character is about as fun as actually playing the character.
@rkarns Yes, their first jet powered heavy bomber. Not as good as the Bear, but a little faster. Actually, this jet is similar to the M-50 Bison, because it has 4 engines instead of TU-16 Badgers 2 engines.
It's not a hot air balloon, it's a glass of beer. A "half and half" is a popular drink. One half dark stout, one half light brown ale, with the stout sitting on top, looks weird sitting in the glass like that. Shouldn't be too crazy to replicate. @Flightsimulator @Strikefighter04
I've been on this tour. These things are amazingly slow, but it's kind of satisfying to watch all the agressive DC drivers deal with it. Also, just a very cool truck in general.
If you want a boatload of points, make a Spitfire with camouflage, a P-51 with fancy nose art or an airliner with a cockpit so detailed that it makes cellphones melt. That's the kind of stuff people upvote.
You can't make people like stuff, you can only hope they like what you make or pander to them and make stuff you already know they like.
Anyway, no matter how many upvotes you get, it'll never be enough if you don't enjoy what you're doing.
@BaconAircraft I'm almost certain that military prefixes are avoided whenever possible considering how messy any confusion could get. More than one airliner has been confused for an attacker and been shot down.
@communisticbanana Ok, ok, I've had my fun. Yes, it's a pretty good B-17. Judging by the chin, you were going for the "G" model, which was late-war. I'd recommend a natural aluminum paint for that, because the USAAF asked Boeing to stop painting them in October of '43 (only a couple months after they started making the G). But of course individual units still painted their planes if they wanted to, plus it's your build. Anyway, cheers!
@THEPOTATO27 Thanks!

@Wolfieboy1555 It looks great, I recommend you spend an hour flying it and landing it to see if there are any flaws in the handling.
+2Why are you asking?

YO DAWG, I HEARD U LIKE FIGHTERS! SO WE PUT A FIGHTER INSIDE YOUR FIGHTER SO YOU CAN FIGHT WHILE U FIGHTIN AND FLY WHILE U FLYIN!

Nice build! Feeling better?
+1Oh yeah, every single person that's ever driven to Disneyworld just loves these guys.
(Uses flexible materials for unstable reverse swept main wing configuration, immediately attempts trans sonic speed at low altitude)
Seems legit.
@Strikefighter04 Yeah, sure thing. Pretty clever name for the plane, too. Those poor guys.

There is only one answer to this question.
@QingyuZhou That's pretty cool, kinda freaky when you get into the deeper part of the river, isn't it?
I'd have to say Skyrim. I think I passed 2000 hours on it and I don't think that will happen with any other game.
I've been on this tour. These things are amazingly slow, but it's kind of satisfying to watch all the agressive DC drivers deal with it. Also, just a very cool truck in general.
@Ryn176 We will overlook your crimes, for now.
Sure thing. This plane does look really good, like a Douglas C-47 but with shoulder wings.
Second one

+3@BaconAircraft Yup, it's a game. I'm just sharing info because I like it when people share it with me.
@Alpha029 Yeah, the concept is well researched, and continues to occupy quite a few engineers. We will see.
@BaconAircraft I'm almost certain that military prefixes are avoided whenever possible considering how messy any confusion could get. More than one airliner has been confused for an attacker and been shot down.
(B prefix is used for bombers)
+2@Strikefighter04 Thats pretty cool! And sad. But mostly cool.
+1This is really pretty, even for one of your planes!
US transport planes are denominated with a C for cargo, B is for bomber.

+1@communisticbanana No, no. The Stratofortress was a jet.
@communisticbanana B-17 Lightning? Nah, that don't sound right.
Congratulations
This is the most accurate replica of a P-38 Lightning that I've ever seen.
Dont reward them for spreading this trash, people. They get money from your clicks.
@Ryn176 Tell us what you did to get grounded or we'll have to get the moderators involved.
@BurkeEnterprise Click the links, amigo
@ThomasRoderick Agreed. Hitler was a fool to build capital ships for commerce raiding. Those boats could have been dozens (hundreds?) of uboats.
+1@Aleksey Absolutely, this is the first Shilka I've seen on here and you did a very good job with it
Very nice job
The Swordfish and the Bismarck, the ultimate David and Goliath story.
+2OH MY GOD, IT'S A MIRAGE!
+1I'm tellin yall it's a sabotage!
So where are you going after this? More fighters, maybe a nice maritime patroller or a bomber?
This baby is a real winner, congratulations my man!
@Benkelmans He's firm but fair. I wish I could get more of the top builders to give feedback.
@EternalDarkness I knew that going into this, I just wanted to support your awesome challenge!
@JamesPlanesii (Shakes tiny fist in futility) You've won this round, but I'll be back! Muahahahahahaha!
+1@Lahoski107 Nah, Jamesy beat me fair and square, but I'm gonna get him!
@EternalDarkness Oh,! Ok, how about my Supermarine S.6? Thanks again for taking the time to put all this together!
