@Bennet23 Using the new blue-print feature to scale the plane to its appropriate size, working on ALOT of revamping of my planes right now.. so, be sure to check out the new stuff coming soon ;)
@Gameboy21 indeed.. Wing designs can be pretty tricky in this game. Especially when it comes to flaps and vertical stabilisers. Will be looking forward to checking out your design! :)
@IStoleYourMeme It was pretty tricky...
a - Getting the right angle
b - making it work using XML to remove part-collision
C - Hiding in the body
d - Making sure that any additional parts don't lock the whole mechanism...
Other than that... I did that before with my 737-800, so... practice makes perfect...
This plane is mischievously difficult to replicate! Personally would have given the engines a tone down, but it's still well done! Great job! Keep up the good work!
@junglekiIIer The fusalage shape gives a more realistic look to the wing. The game's default wing is pretty much a block. This way, covering the wing gives a more realistic shape to the whole plane. If anything, It covers up the under-wing gears pretty well.
Personally I admit that I should have given the fuselage parts on the wings 0 mass through XML editting, but I realised that well after uploading it. I will consider it in future builds...
@TitanIncorporated i'm improving as I go. Took a bit more effort to make this - but once I got the tricks of the trade, it just got a hell of a lot easier :D
@JediWolf i tried working it to max but it is not strong enough to hold the plane in place. i am working on a new model... will attempt one with xml edits
@belugasub if you are referring to my building quality; you are right.. however my later builds are improving. planning to make more presentable builds soon, so stay tuned ;)
@Zoomzoom999 I have tried using magnets for this but it the full 100% is not strong enough to keep the plane from falling off. Though I can fix that using XML - I wish to build the whole jig from scratch, making the plane a little more presentable and realistic
@metallicplanes I suppose it was a way for them to releave stress from the war, show off some artistic liberty and let boys be boys I guess. It's a shame that you don't see Nose art in planes nowadays besides for a simple pilot name written on the side... Oh well...
@MTakach using xml edits, I disabled the aircraft collision for the missles and the pylons. In fact, you could shoot the internal missles without opening the bay doors. i will link you to a very good tutorial on xml editting, it opens a larger range of possibilities when you start delving into them...
@BuiltBionixInd10 & @Gady13131
How embarassing... fixed...
Fantastic work! Much more detailed than mine xD
@Tang0five Thanks xD - I have to say that some parts tend to be long, making coloring schemes somewhat hard sometimes...

@Mustang51 Glad you like it :D
keep up the good work!
Pretty good! Keep up the good work!
@Tang0five Thanks for your comment :).
As for controlling it, I noted the following stuff (on Windows Version)
1 - It takes a lot of runway to take off
2 - When moving the flaps, the centre of lift rapidly shifts, making the plane pitch susceptible to quick pitch and stall
3 - When rolling from angle to centre, the plane has a tendancy to yaw a bit, causing an extra few degrees of turn before centring back.
4 - The plane rolls when using the trim (my fault, should have caught it before uploading)
Would like to see anyone suggesting solutions for future wing-plane developers...
@Delphinos urm...

Nice colors!

Looks awesome - As for the performance problem, perhaps it's because the Centre of lift is too far back and the Centre of Mass is too far forward.
Perhaps you can get them closer to eachother by making hidden wings inside the body closer to the cockpit?
Worked on this concept a while back myself. A bit unstable... though looks awesome!

ONE MONTH TO GO!!!

@TheFantasticTyphoon
@Tang0five this is my second attempt at full wing design, will try to make it better on my newer uploads ahead...
@junglekiIIer That too - again, through XML editting, I think it should be easily dealt with
CORRECTION: Checked through the game's drag view - doesn't do much drag... (still could XML fix them)

reminds me of the triebflugel
@JediWolf the magnets were surprisingly tricky... making them too strong literally tore the microfighters too shreds!
@JediWolf working on a remake of this model and that is the plan...

@belugasub don't see any different colors from 5k upwards... so...
Gorgeous plane! Worth the high part count!!
I enter my F-104 Starfighter for the challenge... is tagging like this allowed?

@Nerfenthusiast build it all up and tag me to your private upload
@Nerfenthusiast can help you a bit if you want. Depends on how much XML-ing you need

@metallicplanes - True - I suppose I meant full nudity... Will fix it...
like the shape! reminds me of the model 987 from the 747 aac project!
Bit bulky but very well done! Keep up the good work :D
@MTakach disablebasemesh is used in order to remove the base for the hinge or rotator without removing the functionality. Like this
Moves a bit too sensitively for my taste but I really like the plane's shape! Is this a personal invention or is it based on something particular?
Gorgeous representation!!! Keep up the good work!!
@MTakach Awesome! Tag me when it's done! I would love to have a go at it!!
@MTakach I did disableBaseMesh="true" in order to make it smaller and input="Activate2" in order to make it work when I press the button 2.
Here are a few interesting XML inputs you can use

may I use your calligraphy for one of my creations? credit will be given accordingly
@metallicplanes custom wheels and shaped side logo raised the count... have a feeling that i have some parts hiding that are raising the count...
@CCCP could you specify the inaccuracy? will be happy to change it down the line
You beat me to it xD
@Hedero i did not mean a full fledged cockpit, what i meant was a cockpit view without being blocked
