Sorry, that was a lot lol
.
I want to design an aircraft, so I want to make sure you want like traditional fighters like P-51s or F4Us, or if you're okay with stretching it to like Messerschmitt BF 219 planes
@LegnaK how strict are you on the idea of a "fighter?"
.
Like do interceptors count? Or heavy fighters, much like the German anti-bomber fighters?
.
And with that latter part, granted you're okay with heavy fighters, could I put a 75mm cannon on it? The US and Germany tested using antitank cannons on their heavy fighters to destroy bombers
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
@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
@Gudboyyy that part I do not know. I believe it is exclusively part of the Steam Beta Key program. Even if you have Oculus, you still need to get it through that, as far as I know
Don't quote me on this lol
@AndrewGarrison
I have a question as well, if I were to make a bomber and it had a flight engineer's seat that you need to switch to to start the engines, and then go back to the pilot's seat to fly, does that work?
.
I guess to phrase my question better, can you switch seats in VR?
@UnspankleSP likely not. More likely a Just Cause 3 with the Airship expansion, but nonetheless this is just a fun build, not a reference by the looks of it lol
.
This is sick!! I bet Andrew will get a kick out of this
@colldude this build isn't one of the silverplate B-29s. Although, they have put the nuclear bombs in one of the versions if you saw it in the description
@PapaKernels you're good lmao
@LegnaK okay, thanks!

Is this the DC-10?
Wait...
What does the rest of the aircraft look like?
Welp. The mods are gonna come get ya, mate. You got what you wanted
This is a really cool find!!

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
@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?
Can I make an airship?
@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

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

Whyyyy the pain
@V
Clicky
@RussianAce that what is a hoax?
TTTTT
Yaya!! Curation time
@AndrewGarrison thanks! That helps a lot
@Gudboyyy that part I do not know. I believe it is exclusively part of the Steam Beta Key program. Even if you have Oculus, you still need to get it through that, as far as I know
Don't quote me on this lol
@Gudboyyy yesn't
.
basically, it's more of a beta right now. You've seen the posts that have been made, right?
@AndrewGarrison
I have a question as well, if I were to make a bomber and it had a flight engineer's seat that you need to switch to to start the engines, and then go back to the pilot's seat to fly, does that work?

Thanks! @AndrewGarrison
Sorry, this is very delayed lol

@Jamesp08 it's not a helicopter...
@AndrewGarrison that's awesome!!
