I used to have my doubts over the success the F-35 will have but after doing my research, spending a lot of time with Air Force pilots, and being able to watch an RAF Lightning II do a display, I’m in love with it. Yes there have been drawbacks with its long and complicated design process, but as planes become more complex, this sort of long development will probably become common. There have been complaints about its manoeuvrability and an insufficient armament load but these will be updated soon. A pilot once described the aircraft to me as a “freak”, but not in a way that would necessarily be considered bad. It only has one engine (fairly uncommon in most modern fighters, especially for the navy) and isn’t designed with high manoeuvrability in mind. However, when in the BVR role, which is the future of air combat, it’s performance is outstanding and truth be told, we (as civilians) hardly know what the aircraft is capable of. I do not beleive it should take over the CAS role of the US Air Force’s A-10, but be a complimentary asset. Besides, if there ever was a large war to break out, the A-10 would be useless as it can only operate in controlled airspace. A Lightning, on the other hand, can fight its was to a target, destroy it, and fight its way out, that is if it’s even detected. Sure the media may be saying a lot of negative things about it but in my opinion, it is the most capable aircraft of our time.
Ho-lee-cow how long did that cockpit take you to make? It’s seriously the best out of any combat aircraft on this site. You’ve got yourself a new follower 👌🏼 Truly incredible man, keep it up!
Yeah this is what I mostly use now too but it doesn’t feel as nice as on mobile. Do any of you use like joysticks or PS4/XBox controllers? @CursedFlames @Jengstrom
Looks pretty cool. It reminds me of a cruise missile a bit. Maybe try to make it more manuverable by layering wings on each other by using the nudge tool
Well I greatly appreciate that. Speaking of which, if I tag you in an unlisted version of a plane of mine could you tell me what you think and if I should add anything to it? @Mumpsy
Yeah I’ve been playing for four years or so now too, I didn’t make an account until later though. I usually play it in patches and with every time I go back to playing, I get a little better. You just gotta try new things, like covering all the wings with fuselage so it doesn’t have that block look to it. I’m practicing now with making actual ailerons and elevators which move on rotators so we all have things we need to learn I suppose. If you need help with anything let me know! @DJS8Corporations
This is very cool! You should make some more of these! Maybe add like a turret to the car and make it that you have to like shoot targets along the way, kind of like old fighter pilot training

Yeah it would mke it more fun I think 👌🏼 @CursedFlames
Thanks for your responses guys! @MrSilverWolf @Jengstrom @CursedFlames
Truly awesome!
This is really good as well! You should add some more to this plane to finish it off
This is a really great build! It’s simple but fantastic
Ho-lee-cow how long did that cockpit take you to make? It’s seriously the best out of any combat aircraft on this site. You’ve got yourself a new follower 👌🏼 Truly incredible man, keep it up!
Yeah that why I like your stuff 👌🏼 Can’t wait to see more of it @Trainzo
This is actually a pretty nice build! Pretty cool even if it’s 2 years old
Yeah this is what I mostly use now too but it doesn’t feel as nice as on mobile. Do any of you use like joysticks or PS4/XBox controllers? @CursedFlames @Jengstrom
Looks fantastic! I appreciate that you make the manoeuvrability more realistic (not the 15Gs that most planes are here)👌🏼
@Franticmatty If you do feel like being less confused, just fly this hahahaha
So am I hahaha @Franticmatty
@Trijets
@Pilot72
I like that front gear 👌🏼
I’ll give this one a like too. I have a feeling you’re gonna build some pretty cool stuff
I made a plane almost exactly like this a few years ago! I never uploaded it though. Still it’s a fun build
This is simple but really good nonetheless. Nice job!
@Mumpsy it’s finished 👌🏼
@Kerbango sorry I had to reupload
Looks pretty cool. It reminds me of a cruise missile a bit. Maybe try to make it more manuverable by layering wings on each other by using the nudge tool
Jeez this is absolute fantastic! I can’t wait to see the completely finished build
Looks pretty good! Nice job
Oh I remember this! It was like right before I took a break from SimplePlanes hahaha @LegnaK
Thanks man! I can’t seem to find that build of yours through @LegnaK
Just tagged you! @Mumpsy
No problem man! You deserve it @uminchu
Aaaaaaand you have a new follower. Really fantastic!
Man this thing is absolutely fantastic! Great job on this build man 👌🏼 One of my favourite flying boat ideas by far
Well I greatly appreciate that. Speaking of which, if I tag you in an unlisted version of a plane of mine could you tell me what you think and if I should add anything to it? @Mumpsy
Still making these great builds I see. Your style is still one of my favourites on this site. Nice job man
So just to be clear, it’s a flying shark right? I’ve always wanted to fly a shark. Pretty nice stuff hahahaha
Dude what are you saying?! This is really good!

I most certainly do and thanks! I don’t plan on stopping here so you’ll see more Superfortress variants from me in the near future @DJS8Corporations
Lol well I’m not franticmatty and I don’t make videos hahahaha @DJS8Corporations
Dude this is really nice! I absolutely love these planes man, awesome job!
This is very cool! You should make some more of these! Maybe add like a turret to the car and make it that you have to like shoot targets along the way, kind of like old fighter pilot training
Once you managed to somehow take off (yes wheels are really hard), it flies fantastic! Looks great too. Awesome job
This is a really awesome build! I like the work you did around the engine. Great job man!
Cheers man! You gotta pump out a lot of stuff then hahahaha @Trijets
Hahahaha don’t worry, I TOTALLY won’t do that @AtomicFerret007
Where is the ridiculous amount of cannons and machine guns??? That’s the best part of this plane! Still pretty good job nonetheless
Man this is fantastic!
These are pretty cool modifications. You should make your own plane with safety features
Thanks again man! I really do appreciate it @Windows98Dragon
Thank you! @Windows98Dragon
@SodiumChloride I realised there wasn’t really a place to put the radar so I rebuilt it.
Can’t wait to see them! @SimonGlaser
Thanks! I’m gonna make some more flying wing styled planes (but better looking that this one) @Trainzo
