The Jaguar XJ (XJ40) is a full-size luxury sedan manufactured by Jaguar Cars between 1986 and 1994. It was officially unveiled on 8 October 1986 as an all-new, second generation of the XJ to replace the Series III, although the two model ranges were sold concurrently until the Series III was discontinued in 1992. The XJ40 used the Jaguar independent rear suspension arrangement, and featured a number of technological enhancements (such as electronic instrument cluster). The 1993 XJ6 earned the title of "Safest Car in Britain" as the result of a government survey. The original 1986 car gave way to the heavily revised X300 model in 1994, followed by the X308 version in 1997. The XJ40 and its later derivatives, is to date, the second longest running Jaguar XJ platform with a total production run of 17 years.
Throughout the 1970s Jaguar had been developing "Project XJ40", which was an all-new model intended to replace the original XJ6. Scale models were being built as early as 1972. Due to the 1973 oil crisis and problems at parent company British Leyland, the car was continually delayed. Proposals from both Jaguar's in-house designers and Pininfarina were received. Eventually, it was decided an internal design would be carried through to production and, in February 1981, the British Leyland board approved £80 million to produce the new car. Launch was originally scheduled for 1984, but following Jaguar's de-merger from BL and privatization that same year, the company's CEO Sir John Egan took advantage of the resurgence in sales of the existing Series III XJ6 (particularly in the lucrative North American market) to delay the XJ40's launch a further two years to allow for more development time. The XJ40 was at the time, the most extensively tested vehicle the company had ever developed.
Designs for the XJ40 pioneered significant improvements to how Jaguar cars were designed, built, and assembled. Among these improvements was a 25% reduction in the number of bodywork panels required per car (e.g. three pressings needed for a Series 3 door compared with one for a XJ40 door), resulting in not only a more efficient assembly process, but also a weight saving and a stiffer structure.
@WiiMini @banbantheman Either way, directly referring to a user like this will cause a lot of unnecessary bs, I can guarantee that you do not need to make a forum post to get it deleted, the mods are not that inactive.
wow, it's been a while since I've seen someone mention TSAD. Cool group, cool planes. As for the question, I feel like it's subjective. Some people like interiors and some don't. That can be because of part count, flight model complexity, style, etc. I personally like both just as much. They have their own upsides and unique features.
@ACEPILOT109 The post was never about hating on anyone. Again, if that was the case, Vito would've tried starting some drama himself by directly saying something hurtful about kor or some other builder. All you did was put 2 and 2 together and thought "well it's my build, so that means the post is all about me just because it has my plane in it." That's not how that works. If I showed you two houses and said one house looks lower quality than the other do you think the builder of the second house would come up and say "OH SO IT'S ABOUT ME? YOU'RE JUST HATING!!" No, because that isn't how things work.
@Blue0Bull For some people (I think we both know who i'm referring to) it's in one ear and out the other, hence the low quality posts from high point, although low-experience players.
That's usually what happens when something is shot off of a plane. In SP the destruction of pretty much any part of a plane can throw the entire thing off balance. Still better than pre-1.7 when you got one-shotted by anything.
This thing made me cry. It's so perfect. My computer also made a loud whining noise similar to crying just due to the flawlessness of this masterpiece.
If you put an AI aircraft on aggressive they will use weapons as a response to detecting a missile lock/taking damage. Sometimes they don’t spawn in an aggressive state and other times they do.
@BoganBoganTheWoman Wow. Blaming me for your mistakes. Typical bogan woman behavior. I should've known better than to ever even speak to such a stupid crybaby. My dad is obama he will ban you from the internet fkn nerd
I guess making offensive jokes immediately makes you a racist. I guess I myself, making slavery jokes am also a white supremacist scum that must now bow down to lord asteroid
stop complaining already - is what this title should be saying. If your entire presence on the website is about upvotes and attention you really don't need a place here. It's just brewing toxicity by the day.
@Omel Doesn't require funky trees. All you need are XML properties at the minimum. (for ex. powerMultiplier at 5 while the max. throttle input is at .5)
I’ll think of it, but the only reason I haven’t been posting wunderwaffe planes is because the hottest builds are sometimes saturated with those kinds of posts. @Starbound
Sure, go on ahead. Just give credit. I’ve tried making a p.256 variant but unfortunately the final product just didn’t look clean, especially the wings. @nadvgia
Commotion aside, it's nice seeing a prop driven sleddriver build. I've always had some problems with the flight models using prop planes but you've just about nailed it here.
So what's the problem?
