@IndustrieMilitariStatali yup I totally understand not using XML too much for weight distribution. However, it is sometimes the only way it’s possible to get realistic weight and weight distribution. I would recommend removing the weight from the engine and spreading it more throughout the fuselage. Real jet engines for aircraft similar to a MiG-21 are quite long so the mass is distributed over a larger area. You can do this then through the dead weight feature. Also, you should remove the mass and drag from the decal you gave it. You will probably have to remove some mass with xml from other areas but try to give it a similar weight to a MiG-21 but maybe add 15%. Furthermore, you don’t need so much fuel! Keeping the fuel near the aircrafts CoM is also important so that there isn’t a CoM shift during the flight when fuel is burned. I hope this helps!
This looks pretty good but like you said, manoeuvrability is a little rough. This seems to be quite a heavy aircraft with a very high wing load. Maybe some weight reduction would help
Damn this is so cool! It’s a great looking aircraft with nice functions and fun to fly. You should try making bomb bay doors for planes like this too. It could make them even better
@SnoWFLakE0s I think I didn’t explain my problem well but I’m not too good at these things anyway. I can click the settings title five times to enable dev console but I don’t really know how to interact with it any further. It’s probably different for PC than for mobile. Do you know how to open something to input that command for mobile because I can’t seem to find that info anywhere
It’s pretty good but there are a few problems that can be quite easily solved. I’ll send them over on discord because it’s easier to explain there. If by some small chance anyone else reads this and is wondering how to improve flight characteristics with different building techniques for this plane, let me know and I’ll explain lol
@SnoWFLakE0s I think I understand what you mean now. Do you know how to add that on mobile? I can open console commands but I don’t know how to put that specific command in
Not gonna lie I enjoyed this more than I should have. It feels like some sort of cheap but large UAV that could be used in swarm bomber attacks
You should give credit to the original builder
Ahh yes, the classic “add some weapons and re-upload”
@KH2B sure thing. Those are cool options too
This just reminded me that I changed my skin to Borat in a mankini
This really looks amazing! I love the work you put into the wings. The details are great
The holy grail
This is really great looking! Awesome build
@KH2B that’s odd. Did you watch the tutorial videos? Also I think it would definitely be worth it to finish even without
@IndustrieMilitariStatali oh to be honest I didn’t check if they had it on. I was just giving all the weight saving tips I know
And whoops! I forgot to upvote before

Why don’t you finish it without the missile? Also for the missile, did you make sure to disable all mass and drag for the fuselage parts?

@captainhall does it count as a replica of its something that was designed but never built?
@asteroidbook345 and I appreciate it a lot! Thanks my friend!
Damn this is beautiful! I love these old Soviet airliners
@asteroidbook345 My goodness man thank you so much for that! I know it takes ages to give that many upvotes so I appreciate it a lot. You’re great!
@asteroidbook345 yup I’m getting close! I’m finishing up my current build and I’m hoping it will push me to platinum!
Congrats on 25k!
Oh wow this is so genuine! A real genuine copy of someone else’s build. Don’t claim this as your own and describe it as what it is, a paint change
This turned into a nice plane!
@Developer9001 I’m not gonna pretend I haven’t thought of making that 😂
@Hedero it was really strange. They said they didn’t have any barrels left
This looks real good! I tried to buy a parts kit for one from my local ikea but they were out of stock
@SpiritusRaptor it could just be that I’m running it on mobile then. Cross platform downloads don’t always work the way I want them to hahaha
This looks awesome and mostly functions great but the ramp seems to be stuck (even when AG1 is activated). Is there some way to fix this?
Beautiful! The plane looks really good and it’s incredibly smooth to fly. Landing is very soft as well. Very very well done!
Damn this is so cool! It’s a great looking aircraft with nice functions and fun to fly. You should try making bomb bay doors for planes like this too. It could make them even better
But why
@EpicPigster1 a new variation couldn’t hurt anyone ;)
@Azzzat125 nah I’m good. You can make one
Awesome work! Looks great and flies well too. Would have been even better if you used a rocket to make a smoke trail
I feel like I need to upvote just because of the name
@FuriousDream Well I’m glad then 😁
@Azzzat125 oh you meant me? I thought you would make one
@Azzzat125 sure thing
@Azzzat125 mini planes? I don’t think I’ve ever posted a mini plane before
@Azzzat125 it’s how many users there were two years ago. Probably some Russian players but nothing to do with Russia was mentioned in the post
Because two P-51Ds is better than one
@Azzzat125 lol what does this have to do with Russia?
Nice build! I’m surprised by how few hunters there are on SP
@AstleyIndustries yeah that’s how I used to play quite a few of these arcade flight sims back in the day. Now, if I can’t roll, I don’t play hahaha
@SnoWFLakE0s oh I just realised the problem... I use iOS! Sadly I’ll have to stick to the G meters hahaha

Very cool! This will come in handy
@SnoWFLakE0s I think I understand what you mean now. Do you know how to add that on mobile? I can open console commands but I don’t know how to put that specific command in
@SnoWFLakE0s does that just limit the g load the aircraft is able to take? Like what can be done with a fly-by-wire system
@Zoowarp no problem! I’ll tag you in it
