  • Possible next projects. 7.5 years ago

    I'm sure you already know this, but the Brewster Buffalo became the most lethal plane of WW2 when the Finns used them against the Red Army. The US pulled them from frontline service almost immediately after entering the war, American pilots called them "flying coffins" but in the hands of the Finnish Airforce thry became the deadliest thing in the sky.

    An excellent example of the pilot (not the plane) being the deciding factor in battle.If you decide not to make one, let me know.

  • YO DAWG I HERD YOU LIKE PLANES 7.5 years ago

    @ThunderscreechEngineering True, and more creepy.

  • How to build better cockpits and body 7.5 years ago

    Find airplane you like. Tear it apart.

  • YO DAWG I HERD YOU LIKE PLANES 7.5 years ago

    @Gravity You can't see the image?

  • Death Star 7.5 years ago

    Why not simply use a sphere? It would be smoother and save about a dozen parts.

  • YL-34A(White knight ) 7.5 years ago

    @SlideWhistle That terms has been around a lot longer than the jerks of the internet. And it fits an air superiority fighter just fine.

  • I'm out of ideas 7.5 years ago

    @SuperSix Yes she is

  • Help Needed 7.5 years ago

    @ShiptyTheLucario C:\Users[USERNAME]\AppData\LocalLow\Jundroo\SimplePlanes\AircraftDesigns

    Remember to swap [username] with whatever your wndows username is, and don't include the brackets.

  • It finally happened. 7.5 years ago

    Sorry dude. I feel for you.

  • Help Needed 7.5 years ago

    You need to get into the XML file and modify structural wings to allow control surfaces. If that sounds a bit too complicated, then just steal the wings off of my plane here. I promise they won't wobble and you don't need to credit me or anything. Good luck.

  • How to hide 7.5 years ago

    @KingHandspider No.

  • P-39Q airacobra 7.5 years ago

    You clearly spent some time studying the real thing, the shape is very, very good!

  • What should I build 7.5 years ago

    @Andrewtheplane Come on dude, that's great you got some votes but do you really want to see everybody making the same plane over and over again? There are hundreds of awesome planes that have never been made on here and there are thousands of people that keep posting the same thing!

  • How to hide 7.5 years ago

    Disable the weapon or deselect air or ground targets.

  • Ford Mustang Owners 7.5 years ago

    @merasmusthewizard You lucky, lucky man. I bet the cars last a lot longer, too. Without all that rain and salt to slowly devour everything into rust.

  • Quetzelcraperus 7.5 years ago

    @roop298 There have been a few ornithopters that work quite well on here, but it's not easy building one. This glider is a good start.

  • B-29 (enola gay with “little boy” atomic bomb 7.5 years ago

    @TheWhistlingDeath Oh, FIFI is much more interesting than the other ones! She can actually FLY! She's one of only two that can, the other being "Doc."

  • B-29 (enola gay with “little boy” atomic bomb 7.5 years ago

    @TheWhistlingDeath Maybe you saw Bockscar at Wright-Patterson in Ohio?

  • B-29 (enola gay with “little boy” atomic bomb 7.5 years ago

    @TheWhistlingDeath Same. Creepy.

  • What challenge next? 7.5 years ago

    1930's Pylon Racers

    Planes are are sleek, flashy and fun to fly but also feature simple controls and surprising agility.

  • I hate my PC! 7.5 years ago

    @Flightsimulator Actually, the US uses antique computer equipment for our ICBM inventory. Many of the programs come on floppy discs only. It's terrifying to think about, but hey, that's nuclear war for you.

  • I hate my PC! 7.5 years ago

    @Botfinder Hard drives have nothing to do with memory. Hard drives are for storage. This guy needs to pick up some decent RAM sticks (theyre not expensive), assuming it wasn't VRAM that he ran out of (which would mean he needs a new GPU which is very expensive).

  • Boeing 727-100 Business Jet (Full Interior) 7.5 years ago

    @QingyuZhou No, my initial reaction has been omitted. Anyway, we have more important matters to discuss than my failed attempts at humor.

    Air yachts. You seem to have done a very good job with this one. The interior is immaculate, and the exterior looks like it was straight out of FSX. Very well done. But what next? I have a suggestion, it might be a bit of a challenge but I think you'll find it interesting.

    I present to you the Consolidated/Landseaire Flying Yacht with a range of thousands of miles, a complete kitchen, bunks, living room, bay windows and the ability to land almost anywhere.

    Give the photos a browsing, even if you decide not to build one, it still might give you a few ideas.

  • Mission Critical Message 7.5 years ago

    @bjac0 It sure is! I've been wanting to get a VR set for over a year now, but the combined cost of the headset and a GPU capable of a decent framerate is way beyond my means. Major thanks to all the bitcoin miners out there driving up the price of graphics cards, may they all die in a fire.

  • We need more engines (Devs/Mods please read!) . . . 7.5 years ago

    @CRJ900Pilot Ouch. I forgot about that. Sorry.

  • We need more engines (Devs/Mods please read!) . . . 7.5 years ago

    This sounds like the very definition of what mods are for.

  • Mission Critical Message 7.5 years ago

    Get the parts, build it yourself, be a hero.

  • Ford Mustang Owners 7.5 years ago

    Oh I bet that's tons of fun in the winter months.

  • Guess Who Flew a REAL Plane Today... 7.5 years ago

    Nice! That is one sleek plane my man.

  • SAAB 35 Draken 7.5 years ago

    @grunnano1 I understand, this is good work tho

  • Gurtich G.1 7.5 years ago

    Another day, another awesome plane by @getorge All is right in Simple Planes.

  • Koenigsegg one:1 7.5 years ago

    @WolfGaming I was much too lazy for reading XD You're off to a great start here, Im eager to see where it goes

  • Koenigsegg one:1 7.5 years ago

    I'm too lazy to make a joke about not having any wheels, so I'm just gonna upvote and move on. See ya

  • Favorite Songs? (Off-Topic) 7.5 years ago

    Sorry, no can do. Gotta keep it kid friendly!

  • POST A REAL DESCRIPTION! 7.5 years ago

    @Mostly Oh! Well, yes. I guess you are right, it is important to do things ones own way. I try to support people who struggle with English, for instance. But you really do owe it to yourself to do your work justice

  • POST A REAL DESCRIPTION! 7.5 years ago

    @Mostly "If you're going to spend hours"

    I didn't say everything needs an in depth description. What I am saying is that if you want people to take the time to notice, download and upvote then you need to take the time to present it. Obviously, that does not apply to everything.

  • POST A REAL DESCRIPTION! 7.5 years ago

    @blackvultureaeroespace Not a problem at all.

  • POST A REAL DESCRIPTION! 7.5 years ago

    @Minecraftpoweer I do that. I write "Please stand by for details" on the pozt and then copy-paste the real description onto the web page. But that's only necessary if you're posting a relatively long description.

  • Bush Flying Challenge (Concluded, Congrats to BogdanX for winning!) 7.5 years ago

    Man, I have been wrecking my brain over this thing! I wanna make an old 1940's flying boat, but there is no way any of them are A) STOL or B) Cheap to maintain! Meh.

  • 747-8I Fuel Consumption? 7.5 years ago

    @DerekSP Once you have a fleet of a certain type of aircraft, you tend to stick with it. Mechanics become familiar with it, a supply chain develops for parts, even the bean counters learn what to expect in terms of overhead margins etc.

  • 747-8I Fuel Consumption? 7.5 years ago

    @DerekSP Could be politics, range considerations, or some other reason. Larger companies usually employ a variety of sizes, maybe the other sizes are already covered. Or maybe Airbus just plain old outbid the competition.

  • 747-8I Fuel Consumption? 7.5 years ago

    @DerekSP The same way a General Electric Locomotive is more fuel efficient than a Toyota Prius: overall consumption is higher, but efficiency is still better thanks to enormous capacity.

  • 747-8I Fuel Consumption? 7.5 years ago

    @DerekSP I don't think it works like that. If a midsize plane could ferry passengers more cheaply than a jumbo, they'd just buy more midsize planes. Other considerations like range, maintenance, etc. play a part of course, but I'd assume that a jet carrying 600 people on only 4 engines is more efficient than one carrying 250 people on two.

  • 747-8I Fuel Consumption? 7.5 years ago

    Are these aircraft all of comparable capacity? 747 is huge, and filling all those seats can be a headache. I don't follow commuter aircraft closely, so I have no idea.

  • Osprey (help needed) 7.5 years ago

    The tail is too short, you'll have stability issues. As for fixing the engines, download the Finetuner or Overload mod.
