@ND40X it’s quite simple to do actually. I’ve been making custom controls on my latest builds and I just uploaded one today. You can take a look at how those are made or even use them if you’d like
@AircraftoftheRedStar I tried to use them on it but none of the missiles would work unfortunately. I have a saved version which has the custom missiles though. It’s the one I fly on my phone
@ND40X I would try to just add support struts and beams to outline where the glass is. You can also use a single block to cover the whole cockpit area so that you can see everything when in cockpit view mode. Other than that maybe try the XML modded pieces which are sort of transparent
@swgrainger yeah flying planes yourself is much more fun but it hasn’t stopped me collecting models like a madman hahaha. I did stop with building though. I tried to make my own designed models of balsa and foam board but it never works the way I hope
@ND40X so when I tested it out, the plane stalls between 75-80mph in both conditions. This however is still a problem as the flaps don’t do what they are meant to do. I tried moving the CoL closer to the front of the plane and reducing the weight but for some reason the exact same thing happens. What it could be is that the specific XML modded wings you have aren’t good flaps. I have a couple different ones in my sub assemblies and some work far better than others. It’s kind of a disappointing answer but that’s most likely the problem. It’s not very noticeable though and most people tend to land far from stall speed and only use that to flare (as much as you can actually flare in a small plane like this lol). They still make you pitch up more than you would be able to when flying slow so they do somewhat assist you in landing. I hope this helps! Also the plane looks great!
This is a really nice and simple plane! It looks very cool, kind of like a mix of planes from real life. Did you have anything in mind when making this?
Whoa! This is super cool! It reminds me of a few different aircraft like the P-80 and the Seahawk. I love the shape of this and it’s handling is nice too. Great job!
This is pretty nice! You got the overall shape down fairly well. A little bit of touching up wouldn’t do any harm. You also might want to switch the elevator and ailerons as I think it’s the other way round for this plane (but I could be wrong). Overall it’s a good build, a little heavy but good.
@AircraftoftheRedStar I like the look of those planes very much but I don’t know too much about them. I actually just finished making a plane I think you’ll like. I’ll tag you in the unlisted version
@AircraftoftheRedStar that is true but there also aren’t too many which have them in general hahaha. I hope someone sees it after the spotlight. This needs more points guys!
This is really cool! It feels so weird manoeuvring in one of these without any sort of fabric or canvas over it hahaha. I love all the detail you put into it. Also is it modeled after anything in particular?
@AircraftoftheRedStar the general shape is very good but I would have made the wing roots a little longer. The start of the wing is longer than the end by quite a lot it seems. Why don’t you remake this one for later with all the normal detail you put in? Id love to see that!
@OmegaDestroyer ahhh I see. The thickness isn’t too much of an issue. The wings on a real 250 are closer to the middle however and the wingspan is something between 55 and 60 feet so longer than the fuselage length. These are relatively small things but they help make the aircraft look even better if you get them right :)
@FlyingHueman you should be! It looks very well made. Also bomb bays are far easier than you think. Look at the one I have for the B-101. That one is very simple but it works well. Just make sure you have an XML modded rotator of some sort so that it opens when you press a certain AG
This is pretty neat! It looks good and flies really nicely too. You didn’t make it too over manoeuvrable like most planes on here. I would however look at the overall profile of the original aircraft a little more, in particular the placement and size of the wings. The overall shape could also use a few touches but this is overall a very nice plane!
Decent build. Would be nice to have a little more detail put into it. This feels a little too simple (I know, funny since the game is called SimplePlanes hahaha). I do like your inlet very much though; you got the shape down perfectly. Cool choice of aircraft. There are so many soviet experimental types from this era
Damn this is too good for words. The fact that I can fly it on my iPhone in high quality is very strange considering the part count but I’m very happy that I can! This is truly incredible!
It looks pretty nice (the custom control surfaces looks fantastic) and has a decent cockpit but you made it very unstable and very underpowered. The CoM has to be in front of the CoL to have it at all stable. In general it’s flight characteristics are just unrealistic or very poor. It does look very very nice though but it would be even better if it could fly well too!
Wow! This is a really cool design. That cockpit is just incredible too. Wonderfully made and it flies great too. It would be fantastic too if it had working bomb bay doors. Other than that this is just super cool! Great job on this one!
@steampunk0202 yeah I figured. You probably know already now that the Lewis looks different but tbh your version looks cooler. Two drums is better than one
@ND40X it’s quite simple to do actually. I’ve been making custom controls on my latest builds and I just uploaded one today. You can take a look at how those are made or even use them if you’d like
@Prolex917 no problem!
@AsougiRin it looks really good! Sure it can deal with a little extra work but it looks fantastic and quite similar to the real thing.
+1@emanuelga thanks for the kind comment!
+1This is really nice!
@AircraftoftheRedStar I tried to use them on it but none of the missiles would work unfortunately. I have a saved version which has the custom missiles though. It’s the one I fly on my phone
@FlyingHueman cheers buddy! I’m glad you caught that one hahaha
Very nice! The windows look really good
@Trainzo thank you very much!
Whoa this is a really nice build! I love it when I see new MiG-21s uploaded
@Trainzo I thought maybe you’d like this
@AircraftoftheRedStar and @FlyingHueman here is the final version. I hope you like it!
Whoa this is pretty nice. I like the progress you’ve made with this. It looks quite cool the way it is now
This just leaves me speechless. So incredibly well made
@ND40X sometimes it’s just for the best. Why don’t you just add fake ones?
@ND40X I would try to just add support struts and beams to outline where the glass is. You can also use a single block to cover the whole cockpit area so that you can see everything when in cockpit view mode. Other than that maybe try the XML modded pieces which are sort of transparent

@swgrainger that would be very cool to see! Do you build model planes too or just digitally?
This is beautiful!
+1@Zanedavid because that’s exactly what this plane was really created for lol
@BigCheese that’s fantastic! I wish I had been able to see that. It must have been incredible!
Whoa! This is incredible! I remember seeing the real thing when they were bringing in the enterprise to New York around 2011 or 2012.
Now this is one of the best meteors in the game. Well done!
+1This is really cool! Really nicely made rocket pods and I like the custom flame from the engine
This is a really nice and simple plane! It looks very cool, kind of like a mix of planes from real life. Did you have anything in mind when making this?
Congratulations buddy! You definitely deserved it with how many planes you built and how well you made them.
Damn this is utterly incredible. Wonderfully made!
Soooo @AndrewGarrison I have a brilliant new and original idea for you: simpletrains
+1@Hypixel no problem!

@OmegaDestroyer this is still a good build nonetheless though, don’t get me wrong
It’s somewhat a crime this has any less than 25 upvotes.

It doesn’t just look great, it’s also one of the best gliders I’ve seen on SimplePlanes hahaha. Very well made!
+1Damn this is too good for words. The fact that I can fly it on my iPhone in high quality is very strange considering the part count but I’m very happy that I can! This is truly incredible!
+3This is very cool! It would be nice to see some landing gear though because it looks too expensive to just crash every time hahaha. Lovely build!

@Zanedavid when you have to intercept American bombers at 1pm but have to meet your girl’s parents at 3.
