This is a really cool find!!
I always felt like something was weird lol
.
Anyways, I want to start off by saying that TAS is indeed based on the AIR MASS, but as you even mentioned, it is purely for how fast you are going in the Air. When I was doing some flight training in Florida, I asked my instructor why there were 3 types of speeds, as they seem useless in most cases.
He said that they each have their place. GS is how fast your aircraft would be ON THE GROUND, TAS is how fast you are going in the Air (taking wind into account) and IAS is what you're thinking of. Indicated Air Speed is based on Air pressure and speed based on ALTITUDE because of the pitot tube's static Air pressure
@ReplicaBuilder1090 did you build the aircraft backwards? Either way, I can quickly fix it here in a sec and send it back over to you. FineTuner acts up lol
.
I see what you mean tho
Firstly, I really like the idea of adding a weaker jet engine, something similar to the J-31, preferably
.
But I agree with F104 that this is a challenge for a reason. Plus, there were actually at least 50 aircraft built with jet engines during world war II, and almost 6 of them were put into active service by the war's end, one of which was the Gloster Meteor
@Mikey101234 oh, I agree
I meant dangerous for us. The casualties were estimated in the millions for us alone. Greater than the deaths in Europe by the US
@geek1love for one, you can already make planes aggressive when spawning them (the "mode" button at the top can either be default or aggressive)
And for two, I think those other modes qould be cool, but the devs are working on 1.12 now. This was for 1.11
And, sorry for the Japanese, operation downfall was far more dangerous than the bombs
.
Also, the bomb dropped on Nagasaki was actually planned to be dropped on Yokohama (part of Tokyo), but weather made them drop it somewhere else. The casualties were plenty enough though
@Mikey101234 yeah
Operation downfall was an even more last resort
.
The nuclear devices were made to stop a war. In fact, the original plan was to bomb the hell out of Germany. But VE day came before that day, so the USA prepared against Japan in the pacific. The cold war started because Stalin didn't trust us after we agreed to a non-aggression pact and then nuked Japan without letting them know
.
Apparently some people say we bombed Japan first, but either way, they didn't want to attack us. The generals thought it would be stupid to start a war with us. They knew we'd kill the crap out of them. But it was too late once they had it planned out. A general even remarked "we have awoken a sleeping dragon"
@Falkenwut that's super cool!!! Really ingenious. Looking at your blueprint now, I can see what you mean, and you nudged everything so perfectly, that unless you look close, it looks like you drew it all yourself
@AeroAeroTheMen I think you can make an account on steam without a PC, right? Correct me if I'm wrong but I THINK you can lol
I use it on my phone every now and then
A similar story happened with the F-35
.
In 1938, the Lockheed P-38 Lightning was designed and entered into service, and eventually became a revolutionary fighter aircraft. 2 engines, and a really high top speed for its era, as well as nose-placed armament and the capability to hold bombs, it was a super capable aircraft
In 1997 when the Lockheed YF-22 was being tested, it was originally going to be called the Lightning II, or the SuperStar, both coined from previous aircraft, but it was eventually just called the Raptor, as it is meant to strike its prey. Slightly later, the Lockheed YF-35 was being tested, and that was officially nicknamed the Lightning II, as the F-35 was a super capable aircraft in Multirole
Something kinda cool:
The company that made this aircraft, Republic, was also around during WW2. As many know, the Thunderbolt II was designed after the big 'ole gun under the nose. They stuck a massive bathtub in and a bunch of flight controls, and boom! You have a mini flying tank that can take out anything (even though there haven't been any air to air kills, due to its low speed, besides helicopters)
During WW2, the Republic corporation designed an aircraft around a really powerful and new engine, the PW Double Wasp. This aircraft was designed to be super fast, have a massive range, and an unmatched climb rate as well as the capability to hold bombs and 8 .50 cals. Eventually, the USAAF entered this design into service, and it was called the P-47 Thunderbolt
.
These aircraft both defined purposes for their time period, and forevermore changed the world, with the P-47s being used by the Mexican air force under the "Aztec Eagles," and the A-10 working on counterinsurgency during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan
@Bobyo
... but... I don't think you understand the definition of a ripoff. A ripoff isn't a unique creation using a name on it, then it would just be fictional
A ripoff is like making a Cessna 172, but not to the exactness of it, like adding your own details
@MrShenanigans @FeatherWing
Some random 0 point user was saying how they are using 5000 dollars to make a movie, and that they want to have appropriate funding and people, and were asking about people who were interested
Everyone is making fun of them
Oh, my!!
.
This sounds wonderful, stranger! I went to see the Russian government in Bolivia, and all they gave me was a darn Ushanka and a scar on my butt!
This is a really cool find!!

@Mage2IsTriggered same lmao
+1You can just link it as unlisted. I'm not sending it to you, I'm... tagging? Yeah lol
+1@ReplicaBuilder1090 I'm on mobile too 😂
@ReplicaBuilder1090 did you build the aircraft backwards? Either way, I can quickly fix it here in a sec and send it back over to you. FineTuner acts up lol
.
I see what you mean tho
Yeah, I've had this problem too. Andrew said he is going to remove it on the post they made
+1Use FineTuner. Select the whole aircraft and then rotate it
+2Hope this helps

Ayyyy! A mixed-propulsion aircraft!
This thing is sick! Great job, mate
And great job, mate!!!
First
This video is sick, by the way!!
it's already been released
@Bobyo what are you asking for a tag for? XD
@Mikey101234 oh, I agree

T
Amazing, buddy!!
+1We're glad to have ya! Albeit me being very small and younger on this site than you lol
Thanks! @Ayanon @DEN12345 @Random04
+3@PapaKernels thanks!!
+1@SaturnBuildsStuff until the 15th

Like forwards velocity?
Or are you trying to get the detatcher to have more power?
What power do you not want to lose?
And in regards to the latter part, that'd be awesome!
+2@Falkenwut that's super cool!!! Really ingenious. Looking at your blueprint now, I can see what you mean, and you nudged everything so perfectly, that unless you look close, it looks like you drew it all yourself
+2Can I make an airship?
Also, how did you make that blueprint!?
+1@Falkenwut great job on this one, dude!! It's super good
+2@Mikey101234 it was unlisted
@AeroAeroTheMen I think you can make an account on steam without a PC, right? Correct me if I'm wrong but I THINK you can lol
I use it on my phone every now and then
I wish they'd add the image part to it tho, and the hyperlinking
This is useful!
But they already made an official one Clicky
YESSSS
LETS DO THIS
@AeroAeroTheMen ...
You can still get one lol

@WhyBreadSoFattning ooh, thanks! I'll test it out soon!!
But nonetheless, this is cool, dude!

Whyyyy the pain

But it sounds interesting
