Nice logo. Unfortunately you can't scale a build as one. You can only scale individual parts. Basically, you'll have to scale each part and remake the logo at a smaller size. I just made my logo on MS Paint and use it as my gravatar.
It was certainly an epic race. I saw it on YouTube (since I didn't go this year). It was all about Strega vs. Voodoo, the two greatest P-51 racers at Reno at the moment. Voodoo had the lead I believe until the last lap where Strega overtook and took the lead to finish. It was an awesome race. To bad Voodoo is retiring. She had a good racing career. My other favorite is Rare Bare. After Rare Bare it would be Strega for me.
@Hyperloop
That's what I thought lol. I use Fine Tuner and Overload as well. Jundroo also released their own fine part editor, but I'm too use to Fine Tuner and Overload to switch to the new default fine editor.
@Hyperloop
O_O
No fine turner? No overload? You need those mods to make you shapes and parts smaller or fine edit them. In the latest 1.7 update, Jundroo added their own fine editor by default so you can fine edit parts. There is no way you didn't fine tune those parts!
@tylerdeveneuxmusic
Just a simple trainer and crop duster. Their's only 1 model, the A model to the P3. I was thinking of making a floatplane variant, but it doesn't look like the type of plane you'd put on floats.
@Clawsome
Oh I didn't try that. I literally just put 3 tutorial planes next to the main tutorial plane with the cockpit and all 3 planes flew on their own, they weren't connected. Doesn't work, the 2 other planes keep getting off track.
It tried something similar with 3 tutorial planes but they kept going off course and it was impossible to keep all 3 planes aligned. I think this game kinda needs an AI overhaul. What I mean is, they should let you create AI flight plans or something along those lines.
NOTE: Landing Sweet Spot is 90 mph (78 knots). Land at 70-80 mph and the the biplane will nose over on touch down. Too bad majority of my designs are a pain to land.
@Stellarlabs
I've been on SimplePlanes for 3 months already. So I got silver within 3 months. Lol I got silver right when I uploaded an all-metal, silver (bare metal) biplane. I was thinking of making a silver trophy but this will do.
@Hyperloop
By the way, do use use external 3D programs like blender that assist in building you designs, or is it all made in SimplePlanes with Overload and Fine Tuner?
@TommySchram13
Yea lets hope. I think last year, the air races I went to, they had Czech Mate, Voodoo, and some of the Fury's like Sawbones and Dreadnought, but other than that, they had some lesser known guys and just simply warbirds racing unlimited. Rear Bear and September Fury were present at the 2016 Reno Air Races, but were only on display and didn't race. Precious Metal's wings were on a trailer saying "Save Precious Metal" after the unfortunate engine fire. RIP Precious Metal.
@TommySchram13
No I'm not going to the air races this year, BUT I did go the Reno Air Races last year. I even have a video of it:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_xTz2GLj4g&t=151s
It was really awesome. One of the best airshows west of the Rockies lol.
The Yak-11 was a trainer, not a fighter. So Czech Mate is a highly modified Yak-11 trainer. Think of this as someone taking a T-6 Texan and modifying the crap out of it for Reno Unlimited Racing.
P-51's and Sea Fury's are the most popular air racers at Reno. Surprised there hasn't been a Spitfire yet. Theirs also been plenty of Corsairs and Bearcats in the past, but as of 2017 the P-51 and Sea Fury is the popular choice for Reno.
@jlewisifer
Thanks for the upvote! Haven't been active on Simpleplanes in a long time cause of me starting school and because I've been working on airport scenery for FSX. Also because I wanted to take a break form SP.
Next up is the P3, which I don't have a name for it yet, but some hints about it include: It will be PAC's first ALL METAL design, and it will be single engine AND another biplane.
However I'll be making side variants like a water bomber/fire scout plane as well AND I'll be making an accessories package for it as well that will include a float kit, radio antennas (for the post-1950 variants after aircraft radios were introduced), snow skiis, etc..
It's pretty good, but the elevator controls are backwards (someone hooked the control cables the wrong way, lol). Also like the spray hose on the right wing. Good job, but you may want to fix the elevator issue.

Wow this plane actually got quite a bit of downloads. Didn't expect this simple trainer to be that popular.

Wow with your designs I figured you used blender. The detail in your designs is fantastic. Must take forever to make one design.

This is by far my favorite design from you. Its nice to see a new update to this epic design.
@TommySchram13
Yup that's what I've been hearing.
Precious Metal, Rear Bear, and Voodoo are my favorite racers.

That would be cool to see a T-6 modified for unlimited air racing, but that would need a lot of money.
The Yak-11 was a trainer, not a fighter. So Czech Mate is a highly modified Yak-11 trainer. Think of this as someone taking a T-6 Texan and modifying the crap out of it for Reno Unlimited Racing.
Is this Voodoo's new paint scheme?

And that raps up the P2 Dragonfly series!

Awesome, but what the hell is the engine/powerplant? Is it a radial/jet thing?

It's a pretty damn beautiful airplane. This is what happens when you deny a country it's F-16's. They make their own. lol
Man, the Airtruk has got to be the weirdest looking airplane design I've ever seen.
@pilotred233
I dont think you have to, but if you add "water spray" effects, that will get more attention.
It's pretty good, but the elevator controls are backwards (someone hooked the control cables the wrong way, lol). Also like the spray hose on the right wing. Good job, but you may want to fix the elevator issue.
Also I would appreciate it if you DO NOT upvote this post. Thank you!
