Hi Zap, I don't think we've talked before but I've been blown away by a few of your builds since I joined SP, not just the skill but your unusual approach. I'm a member of a Discord server for experienced SimplePlanes builders and modders. It's mostly a place to talk about the game, building techniques, projects, or anything really. There aren't many rules but the main ones are no NSFW content and people have to be voted in or out of the server. We took a vote and decided we'd love for you to come check it out. Message me on here or Discord if you're unterested.
@goboygo1 Yes, I actually used this to make a pair of April Fool's Day posts. A tank and a plane, they got a couple hundred downloads but I took them down after the day was over. Don't want to get a reputation for shoddy work :)
@Irobert55 The Raid. Ha. Yeah, I mean he only got a Congressional Medal of Honor for it. Anyway, how about his brief stint as the fastest man on earth, or the multiple world championships he won as a pylon and distance racer of both land and seaplanes? Or the fact that he pioneered reliable cockpit instruments by taking off, flying a route and landing a plane with the windows completely blacked out? Or the fact that he graduated UCLA with the first doctorate of aeronautics ever awarded in the USA? Or his command of the 8th Airforce in WW2? Or his career as a test pilot?
Seriously, I'm not trying to be mean or obnoxious here, I just think people don't understand the amazing impact thia guy had on flying.
Heavy planes are hard on landing gear. I am no wheel expert but I usually just disable suspension to solve bouncing. I would consider doing that and possibly reducing weight. Otherwise, the advice from @ThePrototype should help you in the air.
@BogdanX Yes! The gas thing is bad since they spent so much time camping, but the bridge consideration is unforgivable. To me, the Sherman wasn't such a bad concept, if only the Army would have given it proper AP capabilities, a failure of ideology thanks to their reliance on specialized vehicles, not uncommon at the time but flawed just the same. Everything seems so trial-and-error when we look back, as if no one had any idea what they were getting themselves into.
@BogdanX Bismarck was an excellent BB design. I'm not sure either of the Tigers were a good idea in terms of resources, but hindsight is 20/20. I like Stugs and Hetzers and Type IX submarines, but I have the benefit of history.
@Bearclaw189 So let's get all this straight. As a favor you need someone to spend hours designing a gigantic ship just for you because you cant be troubled to sped a few minutes searching for stuff that's already been made. What am I missing here?
@Caveman999 I've had this happen to me too many times. Now, I save over and over. I start with A1 and when I get to A20 I start overwriting. Usually I go through 30 or 40 saves before I'm done. I still use the "undo" button, but I pretend it's "cheating" and try to avoid it whenever possible.
@zap210 I see. Well, you are welcome to join whenever you want and I can't wait to see more creations from you.
@zap210 What is your language? Many people on the server are from Eastern Europe and Asia.

@ThePrototype Talked my way through thecWHOLE THING! j/k lol
Come back when you beat QWOP
2,000 hours Skyrim.

I wish!
@zerogamer I got an A-26 with working turrets. The controls are a bit tricky, here, check it out
@zerogamer No need to apologize! I felt kinda bad telling you, but figured youd wanna know.
@EternalDarkness Yeah, but English is a weird mutated combo of 3 or 4 different languages. Is Serbian like that, too?
Not to be mean, but the Invader turrets only had 2 guns each.
@Tang0five Maybe no english? I dunno.

Your centers of lift and mass are prolly too close together. Also, your canards, main wings and stabilizers are likely too small.
Real life aircraft don't have main landing gear that far back, either.
The plane looks cool, but you'll probably have to stretch it and make compromises to improve handling.
@6621143 I dont have the mobile version, but there absolutely are location filter settings on the windows version.
@GritAerospaceSolutionsLTD If its still too stronk, you can use XML to make the traction even lower, but be careful or you'll never be able to stop.
I just set the forward traction as low as itll go.
There are selection filters at the top of the list, click around and see if you can change the settings.
@JayAr No problem
Make titles etc using hashtags. One is largest 4 is smallest.

I got a floatplane :)

@QingyuZhou Fine by me, it looks great.

@BogdanX As I've said before, the Bismarck was doomed at launch. Hitler should have set his ego aside and earmarked the resources to Dönitz.
DANG! I always wanted to make one of these but I kept forgetting. Nice job, too!
Ooooh, do the overpriced Italian one that the jerks always drive, I love that one!
GULAG!
What are the sparkley bits in your hair?
You should do a PLA version. Not nearly enough Korean War stuff on here.
@Awsomur AKA Resonance
@Awsomur Still awesome. Is that the one that shook itself to pieces.
@Awsomur Not WW2 but still awesome.
Holy cow, that gif is making me nauseous.
@Bearclaw189 I see. Well, what special considerations does the design require? Extra wide flight deck or something?
They changed the way bullet impact works. I don't think that plane would have such mighty stats anymore.

The kings of airliners mostly belong to a group known as TSAD. Here is an example from one of their most prolific members.
Northrop XB-35
You guys have a pretty consistent style, and your output is certainly high quality.

Very convincing. Nice work!
Save often, don't overwrite saves and avoid using the undo button.
@Caveman999 There was an announcement. Some personal stuff.
Solid design, very clean. Looks like a real 40's fast bomber.
