@EternalDarkness Could we maybe just take this one down? Somebody's gonna get all "ad hominem" and it's not like there's a worthwhile discussuon emerging here.
@Jim1the1Squid Hahaha. Not saying. Lets just say the pay sucks and the work is amazingly filthy. Stay in school, boring stuff like math and chemistry pays big money and no matter where you live poor people get treated like s&%t.
@Jim1the1Squid VTOL and Trim is only good for large, slow turrets. Anything that needs to actually track and hit moving targets needs to use pitch and roll.
One amazing bird. After all the ranting descriptions and amazing photos and videos, when you see it in real life you still feel unprepared. It's just so alien, so strange and mysterious looking.
It's not a glitch. Exceeding the sound barrier at low altitude is unpleasant and dangerous. You will notice that your planes don't wobble when you go "fast" at altitudes above 20k feet.
Anyway, structural wings are the solution here. Either with rotator controlled surfaces or XML modded surfaces.
If you ever return to Washington, be sure to check out the Udvar Hazy branch of the Smithsonian Air and Space museum. It's a short drive from Dulles airport and it is without a doubt the second best aircraft museum in the USA (second only to the USAF Museum in Ohio). They've got everything from experimental Third Reich planes like the Horten, the Enola Gay, even a Space Shuttle.
@shipster It was a successful high altitude interceptor. She also made an excellent experimental craft. Let's be clear, the very first mach 2 fighter is nothing to sneeze at. She was born from a time when the future seemed to be high and fast and wars could be won in a single day. It just turned out that such a time didn't last very long.
The real problems emerged from Lockheed (and the US government) aggressively forcing this plane into roles it was unfit for and pilots that weren't prepared for her.
I've got an idea if you're interested. She's called the Laird LC-DW 500 Super Solution. One of the fastest biplanes ever built and just perfect for you.
@CRJ900Pilot I don't really have access to the game right now, but you're welcome to use stuff from what I have posted on here. My last few planes feature tiny "real wings" hidden inside the fuselage blocks that make up the "fake wings."
They're xml modded to be like 1/10 or something. Might be useful to you.
@Minecraftpoweer Check my links for historic lolz. The VK-1 is particularly funny because the Brits didn't catch on untill they spotted a Chinese copy of the Russian copy 10 years later.
@Zyvx Look, I'll do it for you this time but you need to learn to make stuff easy for people if you want anyone to check out your stuff. No point in advertising if you aren't going to sell anything.
@CptJacobson Trust me, if you mess this one up it'll be an improvement. It's a turbojet powered biplane that was so ugly they named it after a ghoul. It is the worlds slowest jet airplane.
@Tkdmlg In real life, when they first built supersonic planes the answer was delta wings. Thin, symmetric, triangular wings. The triangular shape keeps the wing out of the shockwave cone above the sound barrier and reduces drag. The synmetric airfoil produces no lift at all unless the angle of attack is changed (usually via trim or pitch controls). Delta wing planes cruise around nose-high (3°-5°) with the wing providing lift, but if they need to go supersonic (or just plain fast) they can kill the angle of attack to zero in order to reduce drag.
The main drawback to delta wings is they lose a lot of speed in turns. That huge wing catches a lot of wind when the air isn't coming straight on.
@Tkdmlg Sure. The stuff I wrote is just basic. I assume you already know some of it, but I can answer any questions you've got.
@randomusername I've never really looked into the effects of moving around the COL vertically. I'd imagine it makes the plane less laterally stable, improving roll response but that's just a guess.
Nice job. Reminiscent of a West German design from the 60's.
Have you considered other Great War aircraft like artillery balloons, zeppelins and gliders?
@EternalDarkness Could we maybe just take this one down? Somebody's gonna get all "ad hominem" and it's not like there's a worthwhile discussuon emerging here.
Probably should've had C-Z's build as the auto-credit.
@BaconEggs They all look GREAT! I just thought they looked a but familiar.
DeLacey is from Star Citizen, "Other Stuffs" is from Elite.
@Chancey21 Stay that way.
@goboygo1 He can't. He's got IOS.
@AircraftoftheRedStar Tasty pick! They have a real late-40's sci-fi look.
@RailfanEthan Si, pero otro aviones son muy bueno.
Whatcha gonna make?
@Jim1the1Squid Hahaha. Not saying. Lets just say the pay sucks and the work is amazingly filthy. Stay in school, boring stuff like math and chemistry pays big money and no matter where you live poor people get treated like s&%t.
Does he not include tactical defense systems on his ships? I would throw modded anti-air missiles on it at least.
@Jim1the1Squid LOL Stay in school. The world hates factory workers.
@Jim1the1Squid Just take my Dauntless for a spin and see how you like her.
@whereby Happy to hear it! Good luck and welcome to the party.
@Jim1the1Squid Are you using WASD? If so, then that is your problem. Try right-clicking for mouse-aim.
On a mobile device, they use virtual thumbsticks. This means that using pitch/roll is exactly like aiming in a console FPS.
@Jim1the1Squid VTOL and Trim is only good for large, slow turrets. Anything that needs to actually track and hit moving targets needs to use pitch and roll.
Try this
I believe there will be one in
SIMPLE ROCKETS 2
@ACEPILOT109 Those Century jets looked more like rocket ships than planes. Handled like it too, I guess.
Spend a while looking at stuff that has gotten a lot of upvotes lately. See what they're doing right.

Pretty sweet plane!

@Jetspeed1001 is right. The building workshop will be just like SP, but with better tools.
@QingyuZhou Agreed.
You continue to make impressive replicas. This thing would probably have 70 upvotes if not for the successor tag.
You know, I think you might be better at cars than planes. This really is among the most detailed stuff I've ever seen on here.

@shipster Thanks! My first project. I really should remake her, I didn't know much about handling when I built this.
@shipster It was a successful high altitude interceptor. She also made an excellent experimental craft. Let's be clear, the very first mach 2 fighter is nothing to sneeze at.

Keep up the amazing work

You have to edit the xml file for it to work. Or at least borrow someone else's.
Wow! Never seen one of these before!
You crazy kids and your anime.
ANIME
But watevs, you did a great job.

@CRJ900Pilot I was thinking something closer to "Barbie" size.

Are you making a teeny tiny airplane? That would be so cute!
@ACEPILOT109 Has a good solution. Mirroring doesnt always work properly.
Neat
@RailfanEthan You should make a train full of P-51's
Why do those Messerschmitts have US roundels?
@Zyvx Look, I'll do it for you this time but you need to learn to make stuff easy for people if you want anyone to check out your stuff. No point in advertising if you aren't going to sell anything.
I literally just showed you how.
