You could always go to the original author of the plane/design and re-download it after you get your game back, instead of uploading the same exact design. And please no foul language.
Sad indeed. The 747 will never be forgotten. While it's airline career is coming to a close, its still being ordered as the 747-8F freighter, since the freight carriers love them. The A380 is also heading down the same path as the 747-8i. Anything with 4 engines won't last long unless they are used as a freighter nowadays. The upcoming Boeing 777x will replace the 747 and will be the final blow to the A380. When you think about it, the 777x is basically going to be a giant glider with 2 powerful, fuel efficient engines. Also its confirmed that a 757 replacement is in the works.

Well if the initial structure was tailless, and the tail stabs were an addition, then it should be fine. Plus the design has thrust vectoring.
This looks alot like the F/A-XX concept I saw you fly during a multiplayer session. I assume you dropped the F/A-XX, still continuing it later, or you decided to merge both the F/A-XX concept and the F-22 into pure awesomeness. Either way, this fighter looks incredibly awesome, can't wait to download it!
Congrats! Your Texas Racer beat my White Bliss!
(official race score, first round your racer beat mine with a time of 00:36 and on the second round my racer crashed, making yours the champ)

"your builds are quite nice and look well done. I clicked to follow you. my weakness include older ww2 ear planes so im sure i can learn a few things from you"
Feel free to take apart some of my planes to see how I did some of the modifications and put them together. And regarding my planes being WW2, I started my desings in 1920 and working up the the latter of different aviation eras.
@Texasfam04
Thank you! I strive to make my planes look as realistic as possible, and of course, as beautiful as possible. I looked at some of the racers others have posted for the race and they are all compete with high performance, but their reliablity of their course is fairly low. This design "White Bliss" is a more stable platform that takes reliability over performace. Plus it's good looks and sleek. ;)
So what's your racer that you are using for the tournament?
I also made a more radical rendition of White Bliss with the same engine techniques you used on those two engines you showed me.
@Texasfam04
No I'm fine with where my plane is at. But constructive criticism is approved! The design I submitted is called "White Bliss". What's your racer?
@Texasfam04
I chose reliability over speed & agility. My plane has about 95% reliability but it gets an average time of 1:20. I made a souped-up version that does just under 1:00 but it's reliability goes down to 50%. Basically the faster the plane and the more agile, the less reliable it is (higher risk of crashing).
@ACMECo1940
Yea it is pretty massive. Before I started on this project I was looking at other WWII era-ish aircraft carriers and they were all relatively small. This is pretty big compared to Simpleplanes standards but in real life this is actually a really tiny carrier. Probably the size of a large fancy yacht.
@BlazeInfinity
I think the hull is fine, but it could use some more refinements. Yes when you first spawn on the water the hull will float for a few seconds. Wait and it will eventually settle fully into the water (Bottom hull colored red will be below water surface). The biggest issue I have with this boat is that it's too light. Even a small light bi-plane like my P1 Eagle makes the boat tilt if it's not exactly on center. The next aircraft carrier I make will definitely be much heavier. This issue doesn't matter that much for battleships since they don't have an aircraft landing on them and shifting weight around. Also thanks for pointing out my spelling errors. The Bofors 40mm was first introduced in 1930. I couldn't find any Bofors 40mm so I could only use the 57mm variant which is the mod by Gestour. Great gun, does a lot of damage to the USS beast and it's escorts.
@JetFighter
True, I completely forgot the ADFX-02 has the powerful ECM pod that (somehow) reflects missiles and bullets. I know DARPA has experimented with laser shields on the Humvee where it destroys/separates the warhead from the missile/rocket and greatly reduces the damage, but an ECM pod using electronic pulses to generate a shield that can deflect oncoming missiles and bullets, would require a great amount of power/electricity. ADFX-01 though doesn't have the powerful ECM pod.
@BaconRoll
The nose looks a bit similar like this one in the image, but the cockpit and everything behind is different. The air intakes I think might have been different.
@BaconRoll
I was on SP multiplayer yesterday and didn't expect to see Hyperloop. He was flying the F/A-XX, so I guess the F/A-XX is being developed (and maybe the F-22 afterwards??). The front looked really nice but the back looked really simple.

Must have took you forever to build this. Awesome!
The end of an amazing era.

It's pretty good for a first cockpit!
Wow. It's amazing how far simpleplanes has come.
Hey btw how do you open the weapon/bomb bays?
Nice work! You got a follow from me!
Pure epicness!

@TexJohnston
Oh ok.
Looks nice! I love that rear engine in the back, or is that the APU?
@ACGfans0079
lol its fine
@Empanadinho
Thanks man!
@Texasfam04
No I've already seen the engines. This is also my first race.

Brings ADFX-02 Morgan to a dogfight; gets clubbed by an F-15C....
@BaconRoll
Yea true. Since it's already taking shape as a Raptor, I'd still love to see a good F/A-XX concept for Simpleplanes!
