Your model looks great - first Hind I've bothered to download. Suffers from a lot of the same control problems almost every SP helo seems to have. Stays level, but drifts a lot and responds with random turns when trying to go to either side (A & D). Hard to keep still or stop. Delay in response to Q & E tail rotor turns makes it hard to use them and then they reverse and spin the helo randomly. Then don't respond at all for a while. It is SP helo controls that need a lot of fixing. Only way to fly it is to take everything slow. But when trying to take SAM tanks, you can't gp so slow...
Adding a bunch of zero second lock fast Cleavers to a B-36... How high can I target from is the question - so I can use a big damage setting like @Jaspy109 said.
I came searching here after flying through the Beast. I didn't know if it might unlock something like flying through the Pyramid. I tried it with a couple of planes that were not very stable, then used the Balius to fly through. Nice plane. I have to go upvote that plane now that I'm registered. (First post)
Please put some up some description of what is changed versus the previous version. You have several iterations of M1 tanks and I have no idea what makes them different other than what I can see in the pictures.
@RamboJutter Not criticizing at all, just agreeing with the original poster. I understand is is an old build. This plane is more than I have and can build so far, that is why I really only download and slightly modify other people's planes, learning building techniques that way. I should have said that the air plane looks fantastic, with only the wing thickness needing a tweak. I searched for F-16XLs yesterday because I just read an article about them.
I have downloaded and enjoyed SEVERAL planes of yours. The F-5 improved is one of my favorites - just flew it two days ago. I don't think I modified anything on that, other than the guns a little. I also like your TSI3, Vulcan B4, and a couple others.
Yeah, sure looks like the wings are very thick - the F-16 wing is very thin and I suspect the XL wing doesn't get much thicker. I'll have to see if I can thin them out. I enjoy tweaking other people's planes how I like them. Maybe I should start posting modified versions of planes...
"Although I think that the wings are a bit too thick"
Fun! Tried jumping the earthen walls around airplane parking at Wright Airport, but came up juuuuust short and ka-bloowey. Put a mini wing gun in the headlight and now chase convoys too.
Kinda fun to drop the plane on a convoy. Then I attached 3 Boom 50s to the landing gear and it became a big bomb. A lot more fun. I had to make the bombs stick out below the tires just a hair because you can drop the carried plane from 1000 feet / 305 meters and it only breaks off the nose. I put one Boom 50 at each gear pointing down and scaled to the bombs to be thin to look like the gear itself.
Nice looking build, but I had to reduce the weight some to get it to fly. But then again, I sometimes have problems with planes not reaching their potential from one session to the next. That is a SP problem.
The Camel was 925 lbs originally, and I as finding wires in the SP version that were 11lbs. I got it down to about 4500 lbs so far.
Looks like LightningFatty added a lot of air brakes and a couple of VTOL thrust nozzles outside the fuselage floating out in space. The airbrakes work, but I could not see the VTOL nozzles doing anything.
I like how it flies! I like having airbrakes. Good armament like a proper Skyraider. I took out a few convoy trucks with the guns then their second volley of missiles got me. Good stuff. Thanks! @TMach5
@Hedero a lot of planes will pull up when you press S on the keyboard, but when you let go of the key will bounce back down a few times like a car with worn out shock absorbers. Even more common with rudder controls Q & E. My planes do it but some planes don't, and I wish I knew why. Thanks!
Thanks for checking out my plane @dovahdesigns and giving me some feedback. I started with longer thinner wings and symmetric tailplanes but those were some of the things I changed out of desperation to get this to fly straight. It kept pulling up hard and looping over so I kept trying ways to force the center of lift backwards. My CoM was only a little behind the CoL at first, so I thought it would be OK, but it was not. You are right I should change them back since I have made many other changes since then. I made the wings shorter out of desperation at one point, then made them wider towards the back to move CoL. Again, I should change them back too. I made the fuselage longer after that, so I'll try it one change at a time. I resisted a long time, but eventually had to put 1000lbs dead weight at the nose. I hated doing that. I'm of the Lotus design school - "as light as possible." Thanks again.
I'm not judging. I am still new at this game so I land too hard a lot and I like well damped suspension to reduce bouncing out of control. I don't have a joystick and the mouse controls are sometimes still hard for me to use alongside the keys.
Thanks for all the air brakes. They are very useful when you pull up too much on a landing and need to quickly get the plane down and slowed on a short runway. And I need to turn up the air traffic density to use all the missiles.

+7Got a better run at it and made it over the airplane parking berms!
+1Wow, drove to places I never thought I could. I swear it drives straight up walls.
+1Adding a bunch of zero second lock fast Cleavers to a B-36... How high can I target from is the question - so I can use a big damage setting like @Jaspy109 said.
+1I like how this flies. I just did my smoothest landing ever with this. Didn't even need the flaps. Though the flaps look awesome! Nice job.
+1Just used this to fly through the Beast hanger deck. Nice controllable plane.

"Although I think that the wings are a bit too thick"
Cool. Want to try the MOAB.
@TrueNoMan Oh, gotcha. Thanks for the reply.
"Do NOT fire Turrets and Main Batteries during ascension/decension!"
@TrueNoMan
Why not?!?

Mark like appropriately sized Boom.
Flies nice.
Nice suspension and targeting. Sunk the Beast with four hits from shore. Hit one of the destroyers too. then they got out of range.

I'll make sure to name the next version of this (if I make it, and I hope to) the Uniti.
Thanks for the upvotes and comments!
@Embo LOL! I had to look that up.
It is armed for sure. Added thrusters all over, shortened the wings too.
Looks like LightningFatty added a lot of air brakes and a couple of VTOL thrust nozzles outside the fuselage floating out in space. The airbrakes work, but I could not see the VTOL nozzles doing anything.
Looks like you added about 60 parts to Hyperloops's build. What did you add?
Like this plane and this build a lot. I'd upvote if I could! I have filled the bomb bay with Boom50's and a few Cleavers.
I forgot it has an ejection seat, I should have tried that.
I like how it flies! I like having airbrakes. Good armament like a proper Skyraider. I took out a few convoy trucks with the guns then their second volley of missiles got me. Good stuff. Thanks! @TMach5
@TMach5 It did work after restarting Steam. Thanks for asking. Have not had a chance tp fly it more than for a few seconds yet though.

Nice! Flies Great! How do you avoid control wobbles?
Hm, won't load for me on PC. I like Skyraiders, I'd really like to try it.
"I've got some good planes that I want to make." Sweet...
Great video! What song is that?
What's it do?
Like the smooth look of the body and canopy.
