@EternalDarkness I'm sure there's more to it. Sure, Mikoyan and Sukhoi export some really great fighters but I have a feeling there's a robust domestic aircraft industry. I'll see what wikipedia has to say. ~Edit~ Hmmmm, it looks like Yugoslavia was a pretty heavy hitter in the aircraft world and only some of that remains today. Some beautiful fighters from the early Tito era, and some really nice turboprop light aircraft today. I guess you were right.
@EternalDarkness ~Sigh~ It was a joke based around the premise that Americans know nothing about geography or any history that doesn't pertain directly to the United States. Since you made me perform a verbal autopsy on my terrible joke, the least you could do is tell me about Serbian aircraft.
I mostly just see Blackhawks, Sea Kings, and C-17's. Blackhawks are crazy-loud, I always hear them long before I actually see them, so much for the element of surprise.
@Mustang51 Nope, read the blueprints. He's recreated the wings quite accurately, if anything they are a couple feet too wide. Where are you getting this very strong opinion from anyway?
@TheXDimension32 I looked it up, the stripes are from the 550th Tactical Fighter Training Wing. Back in the 70's they used the stripes for visual recognition during fighter training, kind of the same way the Navy uses those awesome flying-circus camos for their adversary jets.
I gotta say, this is probably the most detailed phantom I've ever seen here. The camo, or the cockpit alone makes it stand out, but combined? Amazing.
Ah yes, I remember Eve. Running 5's out of Heimatar, surface mining in Derelik, and always, always popping those Amarr pods. Wait, what were we talking about?
@EternalDarkness For personal use it's fine, but I wouldn't intentionally share planes that crash the game for people. Oh! And did you know the game counts vertical tails as part of the wing loading?!
@EternalDarkness ok, so I messed around with it a bit. Very powerful stuff, but with one serious drawback: if you crash into the water, it crashes the game, even on a modest -.05 It also seems to amplify movement of any kind, including torque, which makes stall recovery... surreal. Have you encountered this stuff? Any workarounds?
It's best to save often and not to overwrite saves. I created about 30 save files while working on my last plane, and it's a pain going through and deleting them all when I'm done, but it's better than relying on the undo feature. It works for the occasional mistake, but it's not a good idea to rely on it.
@EternalDarkness So it actually creates thrust on its own, not just a lack of friction? Well, not thrust as it's counted in the stats, but a pushing force that will propel the craft forward even without an engine?
@BACconcordepilot No can do, I won't be back to my desktop for quite some time. Otherwise, I would gladly reward your honesty with the deliciously bugged aircraft componants you desire.
@EternalDarkness Wait, you invented negative wind resistance?! And this isn't all over the place yet? How long ago did you first share this discovery? Dang. That's a real game changer, no pun intended. I could design planes with realistic wingloading and power-to-weight with such a tool.
@BACconcordepilot Mod the prop to have (almost) zero mass and about 6,000 horsepower, that's what I did. After I changed the prop back to 1x mass scale the "problem" went away.
Modded propellers do hilarious/annoying things. Just last night I was testing a plane and noticed the propellers moved forward as I increased the throttle. At full throttle, they hovered a foot in front of the nose. I understand you probably don't do much modding on an ipad, but I dunno.
@chancey21 Yeah, was it on mine or someone else? Its because I scale the rotors way huge and then the engine way small, so the props look normal but the cone is tiny.
@chancey21 Sure, just looks like a box with a wheel and some panels. I can make the propellers too, but they'll have to go on last because they glitch out if you touch them (try to adjust the props on this Jenny if you want a good laugh).

@EternalDarkness Ah, so you live in Canada, eh?

Ooh, ooh, I know the answer to that question!
@ScreamingApe Not enough wings or jet engines. Not Soviet enough.
When people ask this question, there is only one answer.
@Notvarysimpleplanes I hadn't considered people did replicas there. Makes sense tho. Cool
@SpiritusRaptor Thank you very much! And thank you for the cockpit instruments.

This thing is amazing! Whats with the D-Day stripes though?
God, this thing is so wierd. Hard to imagine someone strapping in and flying this baby.
You do a great job of getting tons of detail out of reasonable part counts. Impressive
Holy crap! She's so beautiful!
Dang, this thing was worth waiting for. Nice work!
@F4f879 Hey, thanks dude
How long do these take you? Is there a team of people, or just you? The level of detail stupefies me.

@RailfanEthan That's not a bad idea.
If you slap an airbrake set to -10 on anything that flies, you will go so fast that the game actually crashes.
Pretty cool!
Sorry dude. You're still awesome, if that's any consolation.
@TehDuck Does the tank have a cannon? Because the business end of that cannon can be an inlet.
You seem to be having kind of a rough day.

@Authros Thanks for the spot!
@jamesPLANESii Get off my lawn!
@getorge The description doesnt contain links or screenshots
So awesome!
@getorge Sure, where is it? Also, where is the engine from?
Cool engine! Did you build that from scratch?
@EternalDarkness This is very exciting. Thank you for taking the time to explain all this!

@Treadmill103 It seems like you've got a pretty simple, honest approach.
Modded propellers do hilarious/annoying things. Just last night I was testing a plane and noticed the propellers moved forward as I increased the throttle. At full throttle, they hovered a foot in front of the nose. I understand you probably don't do much modding on an ipad, but I dunno.
It should look like a DeLorean DMC12, of course!
Apparently, the Hellcat had more aces than any other US plane during the war. At least, I think I recall reading that. :)
Whenever someones asks, I always give them the same answer.
@jamesPLANESii Bikes hadn't been invented yet!
@Kerbango Thanks for the support

@chancey21 Lemme know what parts you want me to cook up
@chancey21 I can help out here and there, but I am much too slow to do collabs. It took me all of 3 weeks to make this thing!
@chancey21 Thanks for the spot!
