YES! This is precisely the glitch I was talking about in the forums!
The fact that my cannons (the ones which fire bombs, rather than the actual cannon part from other previous update) no longer function properly anymore in this update. Hope we get a bug fix sooner than later. Six Thumbs up 👍👍👍👍👍👍
There seems to be one small fluke though, any bombs that are launched at anywhere above 400% power will explode prematurely, destroying my craft. I discovered this glitch when I tried to fire my bomb-based cannons (though it only seems to apply when the bombs are modded at half mass or lower, and doesn’t seem to affect boom 50s and cleavers as drastically as boom 25s and torpedoes)
OK, so I Figured out the controls for this Anubis/spider Robot (no offense) and here they are as Follows:
AG1+ VTOL Up = Open and activate Shoulder Lasers, main booster
AG2 + VTOL + Trim = Leg articulation, forward thrusters
AG3 + VTOL + Trim = Arm Articulation
AG4 + VTOL + Trim = Hand Articulation
AG7 = Fire all missiles
Oh and as a bonus, try this cool, nifty trick: First, Open the shoulders with AG1 (but don’t VTOL fully up, halfway up is best) then AG3 and both VTOL and Trim Up, then finally, after taking off, AG2 and VTOL down, with jut a very slight nudge up trim. Bingo! The Sitting God Mode xD 🤣
Fun fact: the Blackbird has a terrible fuel economy, guzzling through 16000-20000 kg of JP-7 per hour, though course, that is the price to pay when you fly at 2000 mph...
I made it to bandit by simply increasing the fuel storage in the fuselage and nosecone (and that’s without even touching the built in overload xml editor)
Particularly note how the one of the upper front gun disables when the lower gun is pointed down and vise versa, and how both guns are active when trim is centered. Nice work... ✔️
BTW, with hijacking the USS tiny, it goes at a ridiculous warp speed, yet at a price: the steering becomes so sensitive as to become uncontrollable, and the device can easily get destroyed in the process. Thus, the USS Beast is the safer choice. On the other hand, it could make for an epic rodeo.
Well, without shooting, I might not be able to fly, but apparently I can accelerate indefinitely without any speed capping. It functions more effectively that way anyway @Stratus
Easy stability Fix: Simply add a structural wing as a rudder, then nudge it into the fuselage so it stays hidden. This will allow it to fly more smoothly and not enter a spinout
This one’s not quite that big of a plane, Contrary to the description, for this is more of a miniaturization. It is Quite fast and maneuverable though, especially if you take off the gyroscope and reset the rudder and stabilizers to their normal pitch controls
Note: Due to the nature of this aircraft’s operation, you can actually fly this underwater. It works best at 30% throttle, and will tend to “jump” out of the sea. I call it “Dolphin Mode”
Wait, isn’t it supposed to be “Manticore”? IDK if it’s a typo or if it’s supposed to be spelled like that...

Another bug: any weapon with explosion scale modded may more often than not clip through terrain (happens especially with Interceptors)
The missiles will still always hit any locked target, however

+1😆 😆 😆 😂 😂 😂🤣 🤣 🤣 xD xD xD that is da BOMB!
Too bad there is no reverse, but no matter...
I used the same Funky tree’s mechanism too in one of my ornithopters.
+1Wow, interesting, I never seen a fully functional zoom function inside the cockpit before
+2...Nice work

Sadly the tail rotor blows up when it touches the ground
Wait, reminds me of the headless costume Leni loud wore in Tricked...
😂 Reaptor, what a hilarious mashup name! 😂
What’s this? The offspring of Galeem and The Golden Snitch?
Nonetheless... ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ awesome job 😎 👍
Unfortunately, my Simpleplanes Crashes when I try running this plane, due to it’s enormous size, but whatever, awesome replica you have there...
+4Wow, truly reminds me of ID4, with the massive laser cannon and all...
Sadly, the explosion from the particle acceleration cannon is far too laggy, but nice efforts.
@Homemade1 yes, I kinda see the resemblance too 😆
Believe it or not, there is a Transformer that uses this aircraft as his alt-mode, Hooligan from the long forgotten Generation II
Wait? Could this be the successor to Old Bessie (the starship from Futurama?)
Too bad there is no bird mode, but whatever, amazing job...
I love how the cockpit shakes as you shoot. So satisfying. Great job.

+2Very patriotic of you 😙
- I easily figured out the instructions myself:
- Variable wings activate at 1000 kph
- AG1 to open Bomb Bay
- AG2 Jettisons all ordnance 🧨
- AG3 for Parachutes 🪂
- AG4 for Auxiliary Flaps
- finally AG5 for Lights
+1Suprising yaw on this B-2 Rival. Also, Try folding the wings while flying to invert controls. 😳 whoooaaahh 😳
Nice use of the rockets for the exhaust smoke effect 👍👍
+1LiMu Emu 😂
Next time I might Try landing on one of the beast’s escort destroyers, and see how those will perform

Oh, OK, I understand what this was going for... not trying to force this upon you, I just fake it for the sake of practicality.

+1Undocumented feature: Fire both lasers and cannon at the same time for a “smoke-trail railgun” visual Effect
Goron/Tingle Hybrid, Anyone?
🤨 what specific species of avian is this? Perhaps it’s some type of hummingbird...
Noice 👍 👍 😜

Hey look, Simpleplanes for Game Boy Advance XD
Well, this is an improvement, with it being “actual Size” this time...
+1Hey look, EVE’s Killer Cousin... BTW I Like to adjust the gyroscope for greater maneuverability.

Tensegrity, the meme of the year... I could try it myself...
💥 KAMIKAZE!!! 💥
Oh and undocumented: AG1 for chomping
Wow, not to mention, it can actually FLY... NOICE 👍
Incredible stability and maneuverability, especially for a tailless design. Reminds me of the X-44 Manta, TBH.
Oh, and I figured that to hover, pitch up after the wait time when “warming up” with throttle, and wait time is about 15 seconds.
+1Quite Realistic(ally sluggish) Speed, not surprisingly... that is cool...
+3Ok, maybe just somewhat faster than reality, but still...
