Watches without reading title fully
Oh cool a satisfying video of an orange A-190-300 buttering the bread. Sees side profile of A-190 and notices its considerably longer
Wait why is this plane so long- Reads title fully and sees-400
OOOOHHHH
@randomusername GOODNESS GRACIOUS ITS A CONCEPT! OF COURSE SP DOESN'T HAVE ELECTRIC ENGINES OR PROPULSION SO I USED THE VTOL ENGINE + NOZZLES AS A SUBSTITUTE! Will you just drop this nonsense already? Your acting like I just committed a major sin in SP building! Again, I included the electric tag because the idea behind it utilizes some form of electric propulsion. Don't you know what role-playing or using your imagination is?
Yup. The future of aerial warfare is missiles. Why do you need super-maneuverability when you'll have insanely fast and agile missiles? Not to mention missiles are only becoming more smarter, precise, accurate, and more difficult to evade.
This is why the USN and USAF aren't concerned about super-maneuverability with their F/A-XX and F-X 6th gen fighter programs. The next generation of fighters will focus on speed, range, stealth, electronic warfare capabilities, lasers, and having a much bigger missile payload.
The days of dog-fighting and aerial gun-slinging are over.
I've never had a girlfriend and honestly I don't want to get into a relationship until I have a good career and I have my own place and I'm financially sound. Currently still in HS and trying to focus on my future flying career and college, I don't need to be in a relationship this early.
Wow this is the most popular airplane on Simpleplanes of all time? It's not the best compared to todays standards but I bet back in the early days of SP (2 years ago to be exact to this airplane) this was considered top-dog back in the day.
I can't wait to see them crazy wings get built for Scrappy. I also can't wait to see what Ballistic will look like and how it will turn out. Mike mentioned it will have 1,200 shp, be pressurized, and will have tandem seating. The tandem seating hint is giving me heavy vibes Ballistic will be based off the Turbine Legend.

My first certified airplane would probably be the Piper Pacer, while my first experimental airplane would be either the RANS S-21 Outbound or the Zenith CH-750 STOL since those kits are very easy & quick to work with. But if I bought a Pacer, or a Tri-Pacer with the Univair PA-20/22 tailwheel conversion, my "dream" STC mods for it would be; 180HP Lycoming O-360 VG's on the wing & tail Extended squared-off & drooped wing tips (creates MUCH better lift than the round wing-tips, as well as decreases the stall speed) Heavy-duty Super Cub-style landing gear with Maule oleo struts Left-side door conversion Left & right-side seaplane-style doors Modernized instrument panel (with both gauges & glass instruments)
And then I'd call it a "Super Pacer 180" and nickname it "Chaser". The Pacer in the LHC pack is actually a "Super Pacer 180" and comes with many configurations, and I've made my own custom configuration with my own custom paint, and instrument panel, as well as more flatter prop than default for better STOL performance. But it's still missing some of the STC mods I'd like for it to have (and I can't just go and edit the physical model in Blender or something). So I figure I might someday make my ultimate "dream" Pacer in SimplePlanes.
@Tacocat16
I never really gave the Piper Pacer/Tri-Pacer much thought until last year when I got the LHC Piper Pacer Pack for FSX, and I started doing a little bit of research on them. You can find one in good condition for sale around $20,000-$35,000, which is about the price of a Cessna 150/152 trainier, but the Pacer's performance is fairly close to the Cessna 172 Skyhawk (if not exceeds in some areas, especially with certain STC mods). You'll only find either early-model or poorly-taken-care-of Cessna 172's for sale at that price range, while the nicer late model ones (such as the M/N/P) will go $40,000-$80,000. Basically the Piper Pacer IMO is one of the biggest bang-for-the-buck planes you could probably buy. It can go fairly fast, can be outfitted as a bush plane, has a fairly long range for it's class, can carry 4 people (well, more like 2 adults + 2 kids or 2 light adults), or if you take out the back seats, it has a huge baggage area with a nice big baggage door to have access to it, sort of like the Maule, and in that config. it would make an awesome 2-person bushplane.
Pacers, Maules, and Bearhawks are some of my favorite bushplanes. Fun fact: The Maule is based off the Pacer, and the Bearhawk is based off the Maule. They are all related to each other lol. The RANS S-21 Outbound and Zenith CH-750 are also favorites of mine. :)
Oh wow that is so cool! Your very talented at drawing, much more than me even when I was proficient. That concept art graphic/picture looks absolutely stunning, and the airplane looks great as well! Is it tandem or side-by-side seating?
Yea I saw the YT notification and didn't believe it at first. One of those "say sike right now" moments. But it was unfortunately true. At least Mike & the other 2 came out fine with minor injuries, and as long as Mike lives, we can hope Draco will be reborn someday, maybe even crazier than it's current (or former) iteration.
It's incredible how far SimplePlanes has come, to the point you can make an incredibly realistic Main Battle Tank. Also, it was very satisfying watching those trucks and AA tanks get blown up! :)
Yay, time to melt my brain!
