As you can clearly see, I have quite a "colorful" portfolio of favorite bands/artists.

That too. I think they could still just keep SP and keep refining & improving the game without a totally new & different game such as SR2. Honestly that's actually probably the best option. I'm really glad to see them continuously improving the game and I for sure thought SR2 would actually be sort of a replacement for SP and SP would only go up to update 2.0 before development is stopped, but I think it will keep going beyond that.
My biggest "features request" for SP2 or simply for an update to SP is:
-Overhauled map or just more realistic & interesting islands added to the current map (or maybe keep the old map and have the option to switch to a newer updated map like map mods)
-A large international-style airport for those into heavy metal birds
-New customizable engines & landing gear like SR2
-Glass fuselage blocks
-Airfoil-shaped wing parts that are fully customizable with various airfoil shapes
SP isn't really SimplePlanes anymore but more like "ComplexPlanes". However I think it can still keep it's simple side while offering more complex options for experienced builders who make more complex, realistic, and detailed builds.
@TheFantasticTyphoon
It's originally a high-speed unmanned recon/scout helo that employs some stealth measures including a hypothetical active sound-suppression system. A 2-seat manned version will be developed, and even before the challenge I already had a 2-seat manned version in mind.
@Texasfam04
Yea I'm also striving for more realism with my builds for now on. My F-36 Broadsword and MQ-125 Ghost builds are waaay overpowered for the claimed real-world engines they use. I decided to go for a realistic-spec engine configuration on my F-24 Warbler simulating it is powered by a GE F110. However initially it's performance was utterly pathetic, and was underpowered this time instead of overpowered. A JAS-39 could go Mach 2 at high altitude and break Mach 1 at low altitude using a much smaller & less powerful GE F404/Volvo RM12, while my F-24 barely did 400MPH using a much more powerful GE F110. So my engine configuration for the F-24 was recently tweaked to go a little above the realistic power outputs so the F-24 performance and top speed wasn't pathetically less than a P-51, but it's still not ludicrously unrealistic like the F-36 or MQ-125. I'd say your jet handles very realistic.

I once made some sort of amino-acid model in SP for a science project in biology about 1 or 2 years ago. I've also used SP for my 3D modeling class and made a bootleg Bell JetRanger, exported it as an .obj file, and imported it into my blender project.
McDonnell Douglas had quite a bit of concept aircraft, both civilian & military. They even had a design for a VTOL DC-9! A commentator on a YT video about the Aurora showed me a poster & photograph depicting what appears to be some top-secret demonstrator by McDonnell Douglas. It was a sleek white delta-wing aircraft that was powered by x2 J79's with F-4-style intakes feeding them, and had a ramjet booster underneath the aircraft with an intake that resembles the XB-70's intake. The poster is an illustration, but the photo is apparently real and was taken from the ground of the mystery aircraft firing it's ramjet booster, with a large fireball coming from it. The aircraft has no designation at all, but the photograph depicting it is titled "Bright Star". Also, here's a cool online forum showing other MD concepts & projects.
@DickBrazen
Oh cool! I think a lot of the silent hovering black triangle sightings are some type of stealth blimp. Although I'm open to the possibility they are some sort of anti-gravity vehicle like the Tic Tac (which I'm positive that thing employs some kind of anti-gravity). SE Oregon is pretty barren with lots of open semi-desert; Would make some pretty good testing grounds for aerospace projects. There's also a couple of Military Operation Areas in SE Oregon as well.
Ayy your working on a Sonex as well! I'm planning on doing the Onex model, and making it in both SP and FSX, although the project hasn't really gotten anywhere past the resource & reference material gathering stage...
@TristanSuper24
Glad you liked it! I have a 2nd generation pod that is in the works and will employ the use of hollow fuselages to greatly decrease part count!
I'LL TAKE YOUR ENTIRE STOCK

My MQ-125 feels threated.

+1Imagine having to close school because of one corona boi.
This post was made by the online school gang.
+1IMO SP needs a overhaul with it's powerplants (no pun intended), and make them like SR2 where they are completely customizable.
+1Oh yay I might make an entry

Lovely little design!

Oh the wondrous things you can make in SP.

Holy smokes this is incredible!
+1Noice! This target drone is very smexy.
+1@DickBrazen
+1Thanks!
@DickBrazen
+1Yep I've seen the patents before. They are quite fascinating and is what leads me to believe the US Military is behind the craft.
@FranzPeterSiegfried
+1I'll take a look at it.
@Kimfri
+1Thank you!

+1Just to give you an idea what my entry looks like: Its almost like a cross between an X-29 and JAS-39 with some X-02 Wyvern flare to it.
So how does this "funky trees" thing exactly work? I get its code but where do I conduct all this coding?
