@randomusername Oh, I got nothing against the Big Blue Oval. But there's a guy in my apartment complex with a lifted F-350 that makes parking a real hassle. Guys with trucks like that come in two flavors: people who need to get somewhere when the the weather is bad and people who are trying to compensate for something.
@thecrazyspacesoviet Yes, that works, and it's also pretty darn close to how split flaps work in real life. Many people have developed a variety of work arounds, but I think this would be a relatively painless bit of programming that could really boost the experience for a lot of players.
@Mattangi @BogdanX Hmmmm, you've both given me something to think about. Maybe I'll release them in pairs or chapters or something. Thanks again for your input, you guys are awesome.
@BogdanX Thank you very much for responding. Maybe I could compromise between you and Mattangi. Would you mind checking out my planes and letting me know what you think? Then I could post them as scheduled but still get some useful feedback.
I can't wait to slap 40 air to air missiles on the wings and 4 or 5 vulcans on the nose. I think I'll rename in DethReeper4000 and re-upload it with a nice lime green paintjob.
@TheSimpleMutant0012 Under the tail. Usually, munitions are carried under the main wings so that the plane has the same center of gravity before and after the bombs drop. But you will rarely ever see anything on the underside of the tail because of the risk of scraping it off on takeoff or landing.
@Megaplanesinc Gotcha. Check out the re-shapable fuselage blocks, they're great for making planes look sleek, and you can fill them with fuel as needed.
Fun Fact: PBY is navy code for Patrol Bomber- Consolidated Aircraft Corporation. They had a letter for each contractor that submitted designs to the USN and I guess Consolidated came late to the party so they got stuck with the letter Y.
@Potato21 There's a bunch of other tricks. Resizing huge wings to the size of normal ones using mods or XML. Mass scaling the plane to extra low weight. Hiding additional wings with control surfaces inside the fuselage. I just don't know whats available to IOS users.
@Jengstrom is right, your planes will get more attention if you take the time to make them look special and people will enjoy them more if you take the time to make them handle well. By handling, I don't mean speed, I mean not nose/tail heavy at cruising speed, a decently low stall speed, the ability to takeoff and land safely.
It's easy to tack on a modded engine or a bazillion guns, but it's the thoughtful builds that turn heads around here.
OH! To increase the rate your plane pitches... many things. Reduce the weight of the front of your plane or move the main wings forward (DANGER: if you do this too much, your plane will be unstable), increase the size of your elevator control surfaces (the flippers on your tail)
Pitch is an angle. Usually it sets itself automatically. If you dive into engine settings you can make it permanently one angle or have it controlled by the VTOL slider etc.
Nocollision only affects collisions with parts from your own plane, it doesnt let you clip through other vehicles like Tiny.
Best description ever.
Move the landing gear forward. The nose gear goes in the nose and the main gear goes in the middle.
Supposedly, this is one of the most fun aircraft ever mass produced. I've heard pilots call it the "Porsche of planes."
Landing gear too far back, otherwise good work, very intimidating.
Very creative
Pretty!
Ah yes, the beer can.
This one is my favorite.
@CoolPeach Looks awesome. Very realistic.
Whatsa part count up to?

Hell of a plane, good choice. I'm working on her sister, "Black Magic"
AWWW HELL YEAH! The world's slowest jet! You got good taste.

@AndrewGarrison I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.
@FarrowAirlines They're doable in XML, but I've just posted an idea for making them easy peasy.
@Authros Interesting. Thanks, and again, good work.
Awwww yiss, Crimmy Skimmy!
Very beautiful, how long did it take to make this thing?
@FarrowAirlines Long way to go, but theres always hope
Sure thing, looks like you put some time into this one. Good job.
The main landing gear is too far back. Look at photos of planes, it will give you an idea of where to move it.
Simple, functional and stylish. Good work!
@Mattangi @BogdanX Hmmmm, you've both given me something to think about. Maybe I'll release them in pairs or chapters or something. Thanks again for your input, you guys are awesome.
@BogdanX Exactly! You wouldn't mind?
@BogdanX Thank you very much for responding. Maybe I could compromise between you and Mattangi. Would you mind checking out my planes and letting me know what you think? Then I could post them as scheduled but still get some useful feedback.
@Mattangi Thanks for the input. Your cars deserve a lot more attention, by the way.
@GermanWarMachine U cant stop the dethreeper. No one can!
@TheSimpleMutant0012 Right on, good luck

Probably don't want to put a bomb there, that could get a bit awkward on takeoff.
The SCOURGE, hell yeah!
Cool background story, reminds me of the B-36.÷
Supersonic aircraft don't have split tail elevators, instead the whole horizontal tail is attached to a rotator servo.
Happy Dog Year to you too!
@Megaplanesinc Cool. I'll follow you so I can see what you make.

Dang, I wish I could build high-detail stuff like this as quickly as you.
@MrDoolittle Cluster bombs, camera guided bombs, etc are all available if you search them out. Laser guided isn't, but I could be wrong.

@InternationalAircraftCompany Yeah, I know.
Use the search tool, there are tons of them posted.

Like a Mig-19 and an F-105 had a kid out of wedlock.
@MesserschmittCockatiel I usually make my planes from blueprints. I download the line art and use MS Paint to measure the pixels. It takes forever.
