@randomusername Each wing is designed to provide appropriate amounts of lift within a range of speeds. That range is limited. Supersonic aircraft have to function properly over a huge range of speeds. The most effective way to manage lift is to through angle of attack, and to do that you need trim controls.
Let me put it another way. If the plane constantly wanted to turn left or right, people wouldn't like it. So why would you be ok with a plane rhat always wants to strongly pull up or down?
@ChiChiWerx Mostly just a guide for making believable planes, but also helps make SP planes fly a little better. I wanted to get into explaining AoA and flaps, but I already had a wall of text on my hands.
@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.
@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.
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.
@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.
@Akali If you want to see your country as always righteously defending itself, that's ok. There are plenty of people here that view the USA in that way.
China has benefitted from prudent leadership, I hope that continues. Not only for China, but for the world. America and Russia tried to divide the planet, and many lives were wasted. As China emerges as the predominant empire, I hope for something better than the 20th century.
@Mattangi2 Well, they're very nice cars. Never owned a sports car myself, probably for the best because I am not a very good driver. But hey, at least I can drive stick.
I think you really nailed it with this one. Tremendously realistic.

@Spitfirelad05 It's absolutely based off of it. But if you look up the revised "II" version, it looks much different.
@ChiChiWerx Mostly just a guide for making believable planes, but also helps make SP planes fly a little better. I wanted to get into explaining AoA and flaps, but I already had a wall of text on my hands.
@JohnnyBoythePilot I'd rather not say. People should be proud of whatever they build.
@Spitfirelad05 Start off with something simple but effective, like the North American F-100 or the Shenyang J-8II (the pointy nose version).
@Squirrel Like this? lol
@Rub3n213 Well... there's only a few devs. Five I think. And they have the other game to work on as well.
@Gameboy21 Educate yourself.
Nothing official but there is one that's very active
@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
Don't set mass to zero, that causes bugs. Instead, try multiplying it by .01
Facebook sucks, don't do it!

@HistoricBirds You can page up to three people at a time. Good luck with your meet up.
Use the search tool.
There are hundreds of them on here.

@Boundslayer Thanks!
Looking good

AWESOME! SEE YA!

3/5 Stars
Not to scale but looks great. Would dig with bare hands immediately after spawning again.
OH YEAH BABY!

Do your parents know this is how you use the computer they bought for you?

I seem to recall someone using a sphere as the contact point for the wheel. I could be wrong.
I don't trick or treat, but I do commune with my dark lord, Satan. Happy Halloween!
The simplest I can do for you is this: CLICK ME
Its actually two "doors" and each one requires 3 rotators. One goes up and is hidden within the plane while the other extends outward and is seen.
Actually, it's dress like Hotline Miami for me.
@MisterT You can only tag 3 at a time
Off Topic
I'm sorry you feel that way. I know lots of people on here that go out of their way to make new players feel welcome, especially the mods.
@TheDepressedPig I'm too tall for Miata. :(
I do like Mazda, though.
@Mattangi2 Gross. XD

@Mattangi2 I take breaks.
@Mattangi2 Personally, I prefer the GTO. Any of the General Motors A-body muscle cars appeal more to me than the Mustang or Camaro. Anyway, I did specify "P-51"
@jamesPLANESii Indeed.
