@Benkelmans @grizzlitn @TheMutePaper
UPDATE - I've added the general wing shape, the beginnings of the engines, and elevators and rudders. The control surfaces don't move yet, I'll add those later. I don't have blueprint pictures with the wings yet, but I'll add those soon.
(Also, part count has now broken 1800)
@QingyuZhou but then if I wanted to use flaps or trim or anything else, I'd have to turn the engines off to use them, or brakes if i used vtol for those
@Hyperloop Whenever I'm really proud of a plane I'm making I use that title because it's kinda clickbaity and more people see it. I don't actually think it's the worst. I used the exact same title for my B-17 teaser and by C-17 teaser
@Franticmatty that sounds good :D I'll try... I should have a lot of time-besides finals week and a busy work schedule during break. Hopefully it's better than this
@Franticmatty i think that if you expand the deadline at least a month then more people will be able to build better builds. I'm not for sure I'll be able to build one either way, but I'll try :D
Dang it, I was planning on building a Handley Page Victor after Christmas :(
I might start work on it now for this challenge, but there's almost no way I'd finish it in 12 days...
@doge i don't think so right now, I found a few amazing videos and websites for reference, but may need help later, there aren't many close up photos of b-24s on the internet
@BogdanX if there is a way to scale them lengthwise I will definitely use that... it actually may have been a temporary glitch of my outdated fine tuner - I'll try again when I get home
@doge @BaconAircraft @PyrusEnderhunter Hey everyone, I updated the pictures and was wondering if anyone has any feedback. Also, Since I probably won't make any more forum posts about this project - just update this one, I was wondering if you guys would like me to tag you every once in a while to see the progress. If not I won't tag you anymore.

@TheOwlAce That's a good idea, I feel like paint using a "paint" tool would look sorta cheap. But I gotta say, I'm kinda getting tired of details made of smaller fuselage pieces while working on my current project
I've wanted these ideas for a while (especially the search bar in dogfights!!) Hopefully the devs add this like they added flares, resizable inlets, parachutes, etc after player forum requests. The one thing I don't want to be added is decals, because I love adding small details to planes, and if that gets added it takes the challenge out of it
@TheMutePaper oh wow! If I can't find detailed interior views I'll let you know. The hardest part will be finding a detailed interior view of the whole plane so I can make it realistic
@jamesPLANESii I tried to fix the curvy-ness of the cockpit/top of the fuselage. Can you let me know what you think?
Mine reset too...
Hhhhhhh
@DarthAbhinav lol
@doge @EpicPigster1
UPDATE (check previous comment)
VVV

@QingyuZhou but then flaps don't work when you brake...
@QingyuZhou but then if I wanted to use flaps or trim or anything else, I'd have to turn the engines off to use them, or brakes if i used vtol for those
@Mostly that's not true. In real life brakes and thrust are seperate for good reason.
@PorkyClown3 then I can't use vtol or trim for flaps or other things

@doge ya
@Tully2001 not many people do though. And it wouldn't be hard to add
@Franticmatty haha ok
@Franticmatty sounds good
But for clarification, it can be any ww2-cold war era plane with v-shaped wings, including delta wings?
@Franticmatty that sounds good :D I'll try... I should have a lot of time-besides finals week and a busy work schedule during break. Hopefully it's better than this

I might submit the b-24 I'm making (there's a forum post about it I made) but idk
Dang it, I was planning on building a Handley Page Victor after Christmas :(

@Cedy117 thanks man!
@grizzlitn thanks!! :D
@doge i don't think so right now, I found a few amazing videos and websites for reference, but may need help later, there aren't many close up photos of b-24s on the internet
@BogdanX thanks man, as soon as I get home I'll do that and save my part count a little. Also, I'm glad you like it!
@BogdanX if there is a way to scale them lengthwise I will definitely use that... it actually may have been a temporary glitch of my outdated fine tuner - I'll try again when I get home
@Benkelmans you may need a spaceship...
@BogdanX i tried that but rotators won't scale lengthwise on my computer. For some reason
A plane by delphinus (he deleted his account I think) had a wingspan of thousands of feet, and was wider than the starter island
@doge It'll be up Christmas morning hopefully :DD
If that's too late for you I could maybe let a few people test it before release
@FlyingThings lol yea, 6 people but 5 upvotes....
@Hugo1plays you want to put the image address in, not the website address. It should end in .png
@Hugo1plays remove the name from in between the []
It's should just look like
![] (link)
Remove spaces
@doge lol
@doge ok. If you have a little can you link me to an unlisted version? I might be able to work on it this weekend
@doge Awesome! The interior still needs a lot of work...
Also, any progress at all on the bay doors?
@TheMutePaper @EpicPigster1 Will do!

@ForeverPie XD The nose art alone is 200 parts..... (BTW I updated this forum with a pic of the finished left size nose art

@TheMutePaper what's that??
@jamesPLANESii I see what you mean. I'll try
@EpicPigster1 Thanks man!
@BaconEggs @RailfanEthan Update!
@doge @jamesPLANESii
@doge how is the door test build going?
