@HarrisCraft
They were also both at or below 50 parts, which proves you don't need to be super-detailed to get a lot of attention to your builds, just make them look unique, interesting or have them perform very good.
@redbear89 OH that. I basically spawned two Firehounds as AI planes on final approach to Wright and took pictures of them together. I also used the zoom-free-camera mod to zoom in on them.
@Aeromen
Oh and give it far superior missiles as well since the default ones kind of suck. I'll probably give it Russian-spec XML-modded missiles. Also, since it's pretty much a "super-fighter" I'll also give it a "special weapon" which will probably be some ultra-long-range hypersonic missile with a large explosion-radius.
@Aeromen
That's actually my plan, to make an improved and better looking version, and of course make it more realistic (2 xml modded engines instead of 4 engines stacked into each other). But for 50 parts it's not that bad.
@ThePrototype
Actually I was thinking of doing that as my 4th and last entry into this challenge, but I went for my MiG-41 Firehound concept instead. But I do actually want to try my hand at a forward-swept-wing-tail-less design, similar to the FFR-41MR Mave from Yukikaze.
@Notaleopard
After flying it, I have to say it's a pretty awesome plane. Not sure how realistic the sound booster/music/voice jammer concept is but still looks neat, especially that giant glow behind the jet which I noticed also enhances the jet's maneuverability. Also, those twin lasers/guns are incredibly deadly.
@ThePrototype
Np. Actually it originally had forward-swept wings which made it look more like the ADFX-01 Morgan from Ace Combat, but I gave it swept-back wings since it's supposed to be a high-speed interceptor.
@ThePrototype
Your thinking of the MiG-31 "Firefox" from Clint Eastwood's film "Firefox". That was some inspiration, but this combines more elements from the Su-57.
@CptJacobson
Sure thing, although I have 2-3 other planes that will come out before this; A modernized F-104 Starfighter, the basic F-36A model, and another 50-part plane for the Simple Fighter Challenge, and then this.
@jamesPLANESii
Eh... I don't really see it as a duck beak... lol
Although from some angles and perspectives, it does seem a bit off and rather small (it's best view is from looking down at it head-on, at least IMO).
@HistoricBirds
No idea but someone mentioned below that they heard there will be a special part that will allow you to launch from the catapult. I assume there also could be a tail-hook part to catch the wires at the end of the carrier, but none of it is confirmed, as I didn't see any new parts in the beta, just a smoother running game and the remodeled carrier.
@BaconRoll
+1Thanks!
@LegnaK
Thank you!
@Spacedoge12345plane
This mod certainly helps in making your thumbnails look more professional.
The original P-51A Mustang... before the Merlin V12 it was severely under-powered...

@Bearclaw189
Np, it's a very nice fighter design, and I loved how you used my weapons pod as well which looks great on it!
Nice to see someone is using Rainier's enclosed weapons pod. :)

Also a new location has been added "USS Beast Catapult"

Also is it me, or does 1.8 run smoother than 1.7?
@HistoricBirds
I did, and I saw the new carrier and catapult. Guess this update won't be so bad after all. Yee
@DepressedTortoise @Oski
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES
@ThePilotDude
By redesign you mean make it smoother, right? Guess I can give it a try.
