@Zoomzoom999 I'd suggest waiting quite a bit before buying it. Watched a friend play it and it's not so feature-rich at the moment. Getting it on steam would be wisest though.
@Vinicius6226 Holy crap there's an underwater camera mod!!! Thanks for letting me know! Also holy crap people love Russian subs, I upload a Sturgeon and it gets one upvote, upload the November and it gets three almost immediately, including from a mod!
@EternalDarkness Thanks! and yea the reference blueprint I was using showed the bow to have a shape which tapered in a manner as to have the tip of the nose be wider than it was tall. https://imgur.com/a/N9oHxFA An oblong sphere wouldn't have quite recreated that.
@MrSilverWolf I've sadly had an experience much like that when I went on Simpleplanes MP with a friend. People popping on with 1k part builds, and continuously bombing my friend on the airfield.
@Kerbango Well glad to not be alone, or an unusual case.
@hellgaming Copied a method I saw on other submarines, it involves the use of Pistons XML modded to have a greater range with small fuselage parts put on them and XML modded to have a very high buoyancy.
They carry the sole buoyancy for the entire vessel, thus allowing piston operation to enable smooth diving and surfacing.
@Portalmaster Well it came together quite nicely! And if you wanna do something big, maybe recreate the cargo plane from JC3? Unless you aren't wanting to make another video game vehicle of course.
@GreatHenry I decided to leave them out, since there is so sight of them on the short. Thanks for reminding me to add a 'start in the air' notice though, my bad.
@bjac0
oh! The Man https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/xxCKfT/The-Man Has wheels! I didn't notice that initially. I'll go for the smaller wheels in future builds. I used the man from the original 'man - part' for builds, and gave it wheels on my own.
Question: How did you manage to get the guns and recoil 'gun' to fire in sync? In trying to add recoil to guns I have had an issue with the recoil gun firing partially if not completely out of sync with the main gun.
@Jetliner101
The propulsion system is based directly on zackattack316's ornithoptor, which is a very simple but effective mechanism for flap powered flight.
For the wings started by building the wing 'bones' with fuselage blocks and hinge rotators, putting them in a manner as to mimick the joints of a bird's wing. Then I added and shaped the wings.
Then I used Overload to adjust the rotators and get them to properly bend and close the wing with use of VTOL.
What would follow would be a number of Overload adjustment and improvements to try to get the speed up. Initially I struggled to get it past 100 mph but then managed to give it decent speed. Then somehow adding he bird fuselage boosted the speed in level and diving by a lot.
I used a lot of Overload tinkering with drag, weight, and especially the rotators.
@RocCrafter101 well I'm glad you could find a clever was past the games limitations! Also can't wait for that Ekranoplane carrier, it'll be amazing for sure!
Despite the game not having Ground effect I like how you've still managed to make the plane look like its achieving ground effect, via what looks like pistons!

Gonna make a new post for this, think I might have found a fix for the torpedoes.

+1@Portalmaster Sounds like a great idea!
@Portalmaster Not a bad idea! You could also shoot for a functional cargo door and space too!

This is awesome! Can't believe someone made this, all it's missing is the ability to jettison its frame and roll off as a motorcycle. Great job!
OhMyGoshAnotherPlaneFromWeaverfish!
+1@Carbonfox1 It is, that is why I decided to make it, had making it on my mind for a while.

@GreatHenry Thank you
"Admiral Wilhelm" Wilhelm as in the scream your device will emit when you load up a level in this thing.
@Rawhide Thank you!
This is a really cool design! Flies even better than it looks.
@bjac0 Yea, I think I'll take a break. It's just fun to pose those men, and give the various weapons.

@BaconEggs bjac0's man didn't have wheels, I am pretty sure about that.
@BaconEggs Wheels, this thing uses wheels to get around.
@FlyingSausage Yup
@Spacedoge12345plane It's a great trick to know!

@MintLynx Actually, I think I might know

@Jetliner101 Were you trying to pitch up a lot? Like up to 30 degrees?
@Jetliner101 No....that is strange.
@Jetliner101 They are simple, but I'll add a note that you throttle up to get wings flapping.
It'd be cool to add the Walter HWK 109-509 engine from the Me-163 into this.
When you want to literally drop nukes on things, and do it in style

I can't believe my least original plane is my most downloaded
@CruzerBlade Well it's a good idea!
+1This would be great for builds such as the Rocket Boosted variant of the Me 262. Setting the rocket boosters to a different fuel than the jets.

@ZackAttack5050 It's extremely fast, that's for sure.
+1@Flameslinger Oh sweet! I had a feeling the community that made the Garfield Interceptor would have thought of this, lol.
