@DaDerpachu123 I’m terrible at interiors so I’ll just make it a nice looking cockpit canopy. I also have pretty good MiG-21 landing gear we can use. How about you start and then I’ll add the nose
@Mumpsy yup there are way more planes for me to look at than I expected but I am happy about that. I would say it’s been a fairly successful first challenge
This is really fun! I enjoyed adding control surfaces to one, removing its gyro, and giving it some guns. It’s very fun to shoot down the rest of the swarm
@Zanedavid I don’t actually mind it too much. It gives the effect of a s hitting something vulnerable which makes the plane crash quicker. What would be cool is being able to change the caliber of machine guns like you can now with cannons and also being able to limit how much ammunition they have
@Zanedavid I remember that my first build got five upvotes (since it was at the time the plane which takes you the farthest on the “going the distance” challenge without mods) and I thought that was amazing hahaha. I was very disappointed when my later posts would mostly get maybe one upvote lol
@SovietT44 yes it’s still great! You should make a more detailed variant with custom control surfaces that has the right sized wings! You’re quite talented (obvious from this build) so I’m sure you could make it really well!
This is a really cool EE Lightning styled build. I have a build based on the Lightning coming out either today or tomorrow as well! Also I’m a huge fan of the inboard air brakes/ailerons you have on there. Does that type of control surface have a name other than regular aileron?
@Zanedavid I still have all my embarrassing builds up. I sometimes think of deleting them but it’s always a good laugh to look at. It’s so odd when they occasionally get a random upvote hahaha
@Wi1dSk7 the P1HH is actually why I thought it would be cool as CAS! The plane it comes from (the Avanti but you probably already know) is one of my all time favourite aircraft. Whenever I see one flying I have to stop whatever I’m doing to watch it
This is pretty cool but could fly better. There should be less wing area up front and it could definitely use a bit of weight loss lol. However, I do really like your custom wings! They look very good
@Wi1dSk7 no problem! I remember other players encouraging me a couple years ago and it helped a lot. Your builds are really fantastic, especially for someone who made an account only one month ago. Soon you’ll be at gold and probably platinum soon after that
@Zanedavid aren’t planes just large flying busses anyway? Lol. I also had that shift era, a couple of them actually. My main turning point was with the Dash 8 and now I think my last plane was sort of a turning point too because I finally got the hang of custom control surfaces
@FENRIRpapapa Those are very cool planes. I made a plane that’s heavily based on that one but meant for the navy. You should definitely make a P-59 though, it would look great!
@Empergyd that’s pretty interesting that you didn’t want to XML that. Most people wouldn’t care too much about that but it’s cool that you do. Again though, this is a really awesome build!
What a lovely jet! It looks very cool and that internal weapons bay and rotating missile pylon thing is brilliant! Would be better if you would t explode if you accidentally press two before first four missiles are fired but it must have already been very tricky to make
Not too bad! The rear of the fuselage could be a bit thicker and those wings are placed at a very high angle. You might want to lower it down a fair bit. Nice job still though!
This is pretty nice! A little too fast but it looks good. You might want to try to take your screenshots at a different angle for the first photo though. That way, your build will get more attention
@Mercyaircraftcorporation to be fair, this still is very useful if you want to have parts of your fuselage open for a weapons bay or wheel-well. This one is made pretty well too
How does something like this get zero upvotes?? This is very good! It is a little slow so it could do with an afterburner but that’s my only criticism. Lovely plane!
@RamboJutter thanks for reminding me about that website. It’s given me many ideas of what to build after I finish my current project. I think you’ll like this one since it’s 1950s/60s british
@teodor99 lol it’s the swarm hahaha
@DaDerpachu123 if you want uniqueness, how about we make the MiG-21i analog?
@DaDerpachu123 I’m terrible at interiors so I’ll just make it a nice looking cockpit canopy. I also have pretty good MiG-21 landing gear we can use. How about you start and then I’ll add the nose
Sure! How about we divide it into different sections. So like fuselage/cockpit and then wings plus other stabilisers? Which part would you want to do?
@Mumpsy yup there are way more planes for me to look at than I expected but I am happy about that. I would say it’s been a fairly successful first challenge
This is very cool! So simple but it looks great! Really fun to use
This is really fun! I enjoyed adding control surfaces to one, removing its gyro, and giving it some guns. It’s very fun to shoot down the rest of the swarm
Lovely bomber!
Well I’m that case nice job! Maybe write a short description about it. People like that kind of thing and it leaves the page less blank
@Zanedavid that made a huge difference for me too. I think that was my personal favourite SimplePlanes update

@FeatheredOne well thank you very much :)

@SmartCookie I figured but it looks like my first build once the released the fuselage blocks lol

This is a superb car! Lovely interior detail especially. It’s very fun to drive, functions great, and looks fantastic!
@Pulkit hahaha hello there. Did we speak in a comments section somewhere before?
@Zanedavid I still have all my embarrassing builds up. I sometimes think of deleting them but it’s always a good laugh to look at. It’s so odd when they occasionally get a random upvote hahaha
I see what you mean. You were making things more complex here. This is definitely a turning point build hahaha
This is so odd but it answers so many questions I’ve had! I guess it means the damage dealt by guns is random
@6aa18810 no problem buddy!
@Wi1dSk7 the P1HH is actually why I thought it would be cool as CAS! The plane it comes from (the Avanti but you probably already know) is one of my all time favourite aircraft. Whenever I see one flying I have to stop whatever I’m doing to watch it
Very fun to drive around!
This is pretty cool but could fly better. There should be less wing area up front and it could definitely use a bit of weight loss lol. However, I do really like your custom wings! They look very good

@Wi1dSk7 for what buddy?
Pretty nice looking plane!
@FENRIRpapapa Those are very cool planes. I made a plane that’s heavily based on that one but meant for the navy. You should definitely make a P-59 though, it would look great!
Very cool! I love watching the bombs drop from camera 1. Would nice if they dropped a little faster but that’s not that big a problem. Its fantastic!

Very cool! It reminds me of an F3D Skynight a little.
Did you make this yourself?
Not too bad! The rear of the fuselage could be a bit thicker and those wings are placed at a very high angle. You might want to lower it down a fair bit. Nice job still though!
@DaDerpachu123 okay I’ll make an unlisted post with some stuff for you
This is pretty nice! A little too fast but it looks good. You might want to try to take your screenshots at a different angle for the first photo though. That way, your build will get more attention
Also if you want a non modded soviet star I can upload one for you. You could also just take it off any of the soviet aircraft I’ve uploaded
@Mercyaircraftcorporation to be fair, this still is very useful if you want to have parts of your fuselage open for a weapons bay or wheel-well. This one is made pretty well too
@Trainzo whenever I see a good looking soviet aircraft, I always know I’ll see your comment hahaha
Fantastic!
Okay the wings might be too long but that fuselage is near perfect! What a fantastic build of a lovely aircraft
Looks really good! Nice shape to it
How does something like this get zero upvotes?? This is very good! It is a little slow so it could do with an afterburner but that’s my only criticism. Lovely plane!
This is made incredibly well! Good job!
This is pretty nice! Cool little plane
@RamboJutter thanks for reminding me about that website. It’s given me many ideas of what to build after I finish my current project. I think you’ll like this one since it’s 1950s/60s british
This helped me find the brown pearl Easter egg. I had no idea it existed until I flew this so thank you hahaha
@Trainzo you should add that to your bio! It would look good on your page
