In real life, the faster a helicopter flies forward, the more it pulls to the side. This gets worse until the helicopter reaches a point where it can't maintain a steady course. If you're interested, you can read about it here. I've never built a chopper so I don't know if it happens in SP, but if your helicopter does this don't worry, it's normal.
You made a military plane. Like, with bombs and stuff! This is a pretty good approximation of a Fitter, very believable. The camo looks great! I would totally spotlight this if you didn't have like 6x as many points as me.
Did the variable sweep give you any trouble? I had a hell of a time with it on mine, simulating the changes in drag and getting it not to fly all stupid in all the different settings. And even then, it still has a bug where the wings sweep forward (X-29 style) if you change settings during a high-G turn.
The new MSFS lineup is entirely general aviation planes (unless I missed something) and the two best G-A builders on here that I know of are @MrSilverwolf and @JamesPlanesii so definitely check out their post history.
This is why I could never be a mod. I'd just delete this thing for false advertising, and then giggle at you when you made another post 5 minutes later about how unfair I am. How is a pair of memes from three years ago complaining about moderators (the most played out subject ever) supposed to be dank? I just lack the self-discipline I guess.
@Hellosss38 Sorry, I'm not building this one. I'd love to see one made, but I just finished a strategic bomber and I'm kinda done with them for a while.
You can use this jet I made to easily destroy the defenses at the Ice Base. Landing there will not be easy though. (Oh, I almost forgot to mention there's a water tunnel at the bottom of the base where you can spawn boats and seaplanes etc.)
I do not know how to do the things you want, or if they are possible. But if they are possible, the way to do it is with something called " FunkyTrees "
Sounds weird, I know, but if you run some google searches like " Funkytrees SImpleplanes " you'll get an idea of what's what. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable than me can help you out here. Good luck.
@BigBeast Both. The keel acts like a fin to hold you on course and to help split the water to either side of the hull. The rudder steers the ship, but without a keel it just slides around like it's on ice. It's the keel that gives that bite, that sideways traction, that lets the rudder steer more predictably.
@Typhoon_ That's a pretty good pick! I've got my next two picked out already though. I want to release them as a pair, a sort of Messerschmitt vs Spitfire situation.
@Ploper185 Sure thing, it's clear you really put some time in on this. I love how you planned out how it all works with the ducts and bays and equipment, not just believable but practical as well.
@WarshipDude I'm sure they could just clean off the plugs and stick them back in, but it's still a couple hours of work. Also keep in mind that some planes had as many as 6 of these things.

@Aldriech @WereOutOfNamesArentWe You guys should not mislead people about things you aren't sure of. While it is true you can't do this without xml modding, it is certainly possible.

@Ploper185 Like, 737 sized commercial planes? Because if they're smaller than that, Wolf and James got you covered.
@PoyuToyu Sure thing! Hang in there

Thanks!
@BigBeast Thanks dude. Be sure to run the Green one, the blue one had too many parts.
@PoyuToyu I only see a handful of posts on your upload list. You've got potential, hang in there.
You've got a great sense of shape and scale. Your next step should be learning to do details like 3d control surfaces, engine pipes, decals etc.
@BroAeronautics Was the a Gen. Grievous joke?
@rexzion That works.

You should build a PZL M15 "BELPHEGOR" jet powered biplane.
@CrazyCatZe This
Angry upvote.
I've always liked the J-8, kind of a strange history.
I see you've made use of the concave shape discovery.
@Hellosss38 Oh, ok, so the computer from Portal.
@Hellosss38 Not a clue. Kinda reminds me of Portal.
@Hellosss38 Oh!
@Hellosss38 What is that thing?

I didn't know about this one
There are 106 miles to Chicago, we have a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses.
You've discovered my weakness, I cannot not upvote a Hetzer.
@Anay I refuse to answer that question for legal reasons.

@superpointlesswhyshouldiDwightShrute Bulletproof as hell
@WrongFlyer Russia and America have a lot more in common than you'd expect.
@rexzion That's true enough, but then what's the point of having unlimited range if you've only got to fly it one way?
@Typhoon thanks for the spotlight

@rexzion That's a good point, it was safe enough to work. The problems would arise if it crashed, and B-36's did crash from time to time.
@Typhoon_ That's a pretty good pick! I've got my next two picked out already though. I want to release them as a pair, a sort of Messerschmitt vs Spitfire situation.
@Zuko Kinda. If not for radiation it wouldn't work. Maximum risk, maximum reward!
CLICK HERE to learn about how to build boats. Then start installing downward wings in the middle of the bottom of your boats.
@Ploper185 Ok
@Ploper185 Sure thing, it's clear you really put some time in on this. I love how you planned out how it all works with the ducts and bays and equipment, not just believable but practical as well.
@WarshipDude No, I mean the B-36 had six Wasp Major engines and 4 jet engines. Thats 336 spark plugs total.
@WarshipDude I'm sure they could just clean off the plugs and stick them back in, but it's still a couple hours of work. Also keep in mind that some planes had as many as 6 of these things.

This thing was a nightmare for mechanics, so many moving parts, so much maintenance! But it sure could perform.
@Sm10684 I thought there were more per row
That's a corncob alright! Can you do a DoubleWasp? That's my all-time favorite aero engine.
