@DimaKosheleFF Nice, I always thought it looked like a knight with his lance lowered for battle charging forward atop his charger. Is that what you're flying?
@Stingray Eve Online is beautiful. The ships look nice, but the galaxies and planets and stars are mind-blowingly gorgeous. The thing is, it's not like Simpleplanes or Elite, you don't "steer" your ship so much as click on stuff and tell it to go places. It's an MMO, and they usually let you play for 2 weeks for free, sometimes even longer, so if you wanted to check it out, you could do so without paying anything.
@Iamsilverdahedgie RULE #1: Beats are way overpriced. They aren't bad but they cost twice what they're worth, and people bootleg them a lot, so don't waste your cash on them.
Otherwise, it depends on how much you want to spend. You can pick up a good pair of Sony headphones for 50 bucks, people who work in radio use them a lot because they're cheap but sound very clear. Read the reviews though, quality varies depending on which set you choose.
If you're willing to spend more than $100 you can pick up a set of studio-quality headphones. I wouldn't pay more the $200 though, because higher quality headphones reveal defects in the recording more than anything else. Audiotechnica makes a set called ATH-M50 that sound great, even with really heavy bass they stay very clear and crisp. If that's too much money, check out the SR-80 series from Grado Labs, they're not quite as amazing in the bass department but are still amazingly good for their price.
TLDR: Dont buy Beats, don't spend more than 200 bucks and read the reviews on this website. It's easy to drop a lot of cash, but don't. Good headphones reveal defects in recordings, like seeing someone you think is attractive from far away but then you get closer and realize they're covered in acne and have crossed eyes.

If there's one thing I've learned in life, it's that whatever music you enjoy sounds like absolute crap to everyone else. This is especially true for pop music, which is prone to passing fads that rarely hold up well over time. If you're really passionate about music, do yourself a huge favor: save up for a great set of headphones and keep your music to yourself. Music is a lot more enjoyable when you can lose yourself in it without worrying about other people.

@JohnnyBoythePilot Things got pretty messy in the late 40's, they had been developing so many new planes for so long it got to be a real chore just figuring out what was what. Eventually they re-renamed it the RF-61C, which makes more sense. Can you imagine all the "clickbait hate" if I posted a propeller plane as "the F-15" ? HA!
@JohnnyBoythePilot Yeah, the Widow is a favorite of mine. There was a stripped down, highspeed photo-recon version called the Reporter. Sleek and gorgeous, maybe I'll make something like that only with radar and a few 20mm cannons.
@JohnnyBoythePilot I've been meaning to make a heavy for some time. My B-26 almost fits the bill (once you dump all the bombs) but I want to make a true nightfighter, something with radar and a huge pair of radials. It takes me forever to make anything though, and I've got a whole series of planes I want to do first. Argh! Anyway, looking forward to your next build.
You got talent. I love these "heavy fighter" designs like the Beaufighter or Lightning. I especially like the fixed, streamlined landing gear, it gives it a very authentic 1930's look.
It is pretty fun to swoop around in. I'm working on a float plane right now, this was good practice. Anyway, good luck, I hope you build more of these.
@Ephwurd If you put the rotors on an activation group, they'll retain their position. Mostly it's just easier to track moving targets with pitch+roll. Either way, this cannon-thing is awesome.
@Scottydoestuff Sorry, I'll explain. A lot of people obsess over details when they make a replica, but miss the big picture, the overall proportions. This thing you made is better than that and I like it.
Don't worry, this is a common problem that is totally fixable. The center of thrust is too high, pulling the nose downward. To countaract this you need three things. (1) A great big tail surface strong enough to pull that nose up. (2) You need to use the fine tuning tool to angle the Great Big Tail so that it will pull the nose up, 5 degrees should do it, but test it out. (3) Speed. You will need air moving fast enough over the tail to overpower the tendancy to nose down. The bigger the tail, the less speed you'll need, but it's also a good idea not to go full throttle untill you're already moving pretty fast, pull the throttle up slowly.
@JackTheBestBoss I AM working on something. I've been away too long, I missed the newest update and there are so many people making top quality planes now! I was working on a B29 for someone but several people put up really good ones in the last couple months so that frees me up to make a plane I've wanted to build for a looooooong time. I can't say what it is, but I will give a hint: it's pre-WW2 and it's gorgeous.

Gonna do any more Eve ships?

@Stingray Advice from someone who played 2 years: have fun NOW, it doesn't get any better with the bigger ships.
More of a Tempest man, myself.
@QuantausAviation When I told my wife about the horn she was like "That is my new favorite car!"
Yeah, make something else. How about a De Havilland Comet 88?
@Iamsilverdahedgie That's all for music, by the way. For games, just get something with a microohone that fits your budget and has good reviews.
ROADRUNNA ROADRUNNNNA!

@Ironghost Thanks! They took forever.
I like it! It's got that harsh, retro-futuristic 1970's look to it, like the F117. Very sci fi, very cool concept.

SOLID!
+1@Ephwurd I don't think I follow your line of reasoning. However, Zharappa is correct that it is ultimately a matter of preference.

GT XT, it will travel better on the various islands.
CLICK ME
I got it flying, but I had to change it all around and you probably won't like it. Anyway, good luck.
+1@Zharapparbyell Great! I learned the hard way building turrets for my bombers, I'm glad you like it. Good luck with your future builds.
YES! You clearly spent some time getting it right, awesome job.
Best RPG ever!
Looks great. If you make the inputs pitch and roll people could control it with a mouse, much easier than using sliders.

+1Sure thing, man. I'm a fool for these old Russian birds.
@QuantausAviation Good luck, amigo
You'll probably have less trouble with Gen 1.
Very nice.
You've got good taste!
@Minecraftpoweer Hopefully you won't lose any functionality, thumbs are important!

OMG ITS SO CUTE! I like your style.
+1This is the best kind of crazy!
The mystery machine!
How about you? Just returned, any ideas?
Awww, Mig17s are the BEST! Fast, maneuverable, beautiful. This thing looks great!
