@Chancey21 what do you mean? XD
.
But one day when I own some high-performance aircraft, or when I'm in the Air Force possibly flying F-22s, hell yeah, man. Or a mustang pulling drifts. The feeling of accelerating faster than anything, slicing through the air, higher than all else. It's amazing
@PapaKernels yessss lol. I can't wait for either
.
I'm also doing a full interior B-36 once the update drops. I'm going to actually put some effort into it. It will probably end with like 1000 parts
I also need to do my friend tribute build for you: the T-6 Texan II
@PapaKernels yeah, they did! The flight characteristics are very good imo. I love it all the way around. It can take off on just prop (which 99% of the flights were done with as pure prop)
.
I also might do the MiG 13...
Thank you so much, buddy!!! I like how you redid the exact same screenshot I took XD
Your build is significantly better than mine, and I can't wait to take her for a flight
.
And thank you :). I know you'll be extremely successful in life. If my plans go through, I will certainly make sure I get you involved (with your consent, of course)
@FlyingPatriot what's up? XD
I was referring to the fact that there are a very small amount of planes around today, so not many companies are manufacturing much
@KamikazR6 I mean, want me to go astrophysicist on you? Kidding lol
.
On one note, they do. They generate lift, which is basically just drag that makes you lighter than air (except for symmetric aerofoils... those require enough thrust to make you lighter than air). The control surfaces are just drag that rotate the aircraft over different planes (as in the mechanical type... not the vehicle). Thrust is moving an amount of gaseous fluid to push or pull your aircraft with it
@FlyingPatriot not really. More planes were shot down during WW2 than there are planes today
.
But it's still a kind of growing community, albeit very slowly. Most of the planes in circulation were built a long time ago. Newer planes are few and far between because of how long and expensive it is to get approval from the FAA
@Dathcha same XD
.
But one thing I will note, SimplePlanes isn't the... erm... most realistic. Yes, it has many realistic features, but things like yaw control have unrealistic feel to it. Yaw has a very good effect in really life, especially in turns. You roll slightly to one side, slightly pitch up and yaw in that direction to turn
.
SimplePlanes does help with finding the right trim though lmao
@HistoryNerd007 yeah! Go for it, dude! Planes are awesome. Any airport should have some form of a flight academy at it. Try a discovery flight and say that you want to go for your license. It'll not only give you the experience of flying and let you decide if you want to keep going for it, but also let you get your first hour of flight.
I hope you get to one day :)
@Dathcha absolutely! I think we need more people with a technical/mechanical knowledge nowadays. Especially aeronautical engineering. Anything in those fields are great, and you could make some nice dough too. Not bad skills to possess either
@2Papi2Chulo dude, that's freaking amazing!
.
I agree though, being in the sky feels so natural to me too. Every time you're in the air, it's like it's where you're meant to be. Weightless, even from life's problems. Quite poetic, eh?
I want to fly the F-22 for the Air Force and maybe restore an F-104D to airworthy condition. Maybe get a TBM Avenger (they're quite cheap) and fly them for fun. There ain't nothing like the sky.
.
My first time up, the dude let me sit in the left seat. He let me do the preflight check, we checked the gas, and the engine starting is like noneother. I've flown commercial, but the feeling of a prop engine starting, it literally moving the aircraft with it, mmmm. You can't feel the true power of an engine until you do that
@DrexxVolv actually, not that long lol
.
I had a TON of background knowledge set up. Flying a plane is easier than driving a car. Most of the buttons you don't even need to touch. It's mostly just knowing the important ones.
You have the yoke (or on some planes, a stick) which controls pitch and roll, the rudder pedals at your feet which also act as your independent brakes (except on tailsitters, I believe), your emergency brake, the 6-pack (speedometer, altitude, attitude, rotation, angle of attack, and thennnnn I think... I don't remember the 6th one lol). There are a lot more. I know how to fly helos as well, never have actually done that though.
Either way, not that hard. It's pretty simple. The only part of the plane I know almost nothing about is the avionics. I haven't a clue how to use it XD
@AWESOMENESS360 That's amazing, dude!!
.
I'm thinking of starting a research firm company thingy one day, so I might be able to find a way to incorporate this. If I ever do, I'll try to contact you. Maybe it could benefit both you and the world. Either way, I hope you find a way to achieve this passion of yours one day :)
I got to control the flaps and the throttle/mixture though on landing. I got to taxi, take off and fly pretty much on my own though
.
And 3) I am learning on the Cessna 172 right now. I have flown a Piper Archer II as well though. I prefer the 172.
And yeah! I definitely will when the update comes out
.
My uncle also works for an aircraft restoration company, so he wants to see about training me on a P-40
@PapaKernels
2) I haven't actually landed on my own yet, however, my 2nd hour of flight I was allowed to keep my hands on the controls to get a feel for it
When you're landing, NEVER put pressure on the steering gear. On tricycle gears, always land on the rear gear and pitch up until you decelerate. Also, you don't actually apply brakes. You let drag do its job. You can brake if you need to though
And crosswinds? No. We had a lot of thermals though (makes the plane shake because of vortexes in the air from heat in the sunlight)
WAIT. Is this for my challenge? XD
Awesome!!
Xd
... what?
@Erc90F4RU the link that says click goes to the results
@ReaperSpitz ofc!
To lock on? Yes
.
To fire? no
@Treadmill103 YES
@Erc90F4RU he posted them a long time ago. Did you see my message below?
:(
Hotchkiss Portative!?!?
@TheLateJBerry of course, dude!
@Mixx I'll tag ya on it if yo want lol

@JuanNotAnAlt kthximdone
@Dathcha ooh, that's a very valid point. I like it
@JuanNotAnAlt kthxlolrofllmao
@JuanNotAnAlt kthxhi
@Sm10684 :(
@e_soup YES
@ReturningShu sp does have first person
Oof. I'm sorry dude
@TatsuTheOtaku ofc!

That should fix it
@TatsuTheOtaku OHHHH
The turrets are broken
.
Put the guns on the opposite side of the turret
@TatsuTheOtaku how so broken?
@TargetDestroyed aww :(
@TargetDestroyed wait... really?

@2Papi2Chulo WHOA. They let you do that? That's awesome dude!
@simpleplayer1 lmao. Wdym? You can buy any plane
.
You need a type rating for it, but you can buy it. But damn it's expensive
@simpleplayer1 if you have the money for it, here ya go!
.
CLICK ME
@simpleplayer1 look it up on controller.com
.
Here, I'll get the link real quick
@HistoryNerd007 yeah! Go for it, dude! Planes are awesome. Any airport should have some form of a flight academy at it. Try a discovery flight and say that you want to go for your license.

@edensk oh, okay! Thank you so much!
Sorry, I didn't realize it lol
@WIZARD2017 oh, wow! That's really part efficient, then. Either way, this thing is gorgeous
