@Tang0five I remember you were saying your device could only handle 400 parts and this one has more but I reduced the drag points on it dramatically. Could you tell me whether this works alright on your device or if it still won’t load or lags. Thanks!
Don’t worry about that too much. It’s SimplePlanes and nothing can ever be 100% perfect. You can also fix a mistake as well. In my most recent upload, I didn’t realise that when you download the plane the rudder wouldn’t move for some reason so I just added a link to a fixed version. Don’t sweat it too much :)
Wonderfully made jet! The CoM could use with a little more distance from the CoL (that way it will turn smoother) but other than that it’s superb! Great job on this one
Nice work on that gun and creative idea for the shells! I don’t think the A-10 actually ejects it’s shell casings out of the aircraft but this still looks really good
Lovely! I had no idea this plane had a another name to it. I always thought it looks sort of like what happens when you mix a MiG-21/J-7 with a Yak-130 and a Hawk T2
@DaDerpachu123 sorry bud but I’m pretty busy at the moment and out of ideas too. Good luck finding something to make though! I can try to help you find an idea if you’d like
One thing that would help here is moving the CoL back a bit. You can do that by enlarging the elevators (which are larger in real life too) or you can add scaled down wings towards the rear of the aircraft and hide them within the fuselage. Putting some distance between the CoM and CoL is essential for making the aircraft able to perform manoeuvres you would expect from a fighter aircraft. You can also make the vertical stabiliser slightly larger.
Beautifully made! The shape is almost perfect and the cockpit is made incredibly well. It seamlessly fits into the rest of the fuselage. Wonderful work!
Damn! This is a really good looking aircraft. The detailing you put into it is superb. However, the wings are a bit thin for the size of this aircraft. If you made them about 2.5 times wider, it would look better and fly better too. It’s quite underpowered too, especially for its weight and the low wing area. These are easy things to fix though! I’m looking forward to your next post :)
Very cool looking bomber! It feels a bit odd having such large landing gear retract into a small engine but other than that this is a lovely build. Great bomb bay too!
This plane looks and flies really great! It would definitely benefit from custom control surfaces though and movable canards. Nevertheless it’s a lovely aircraft
This is pretty cool! The concept is great and it looks fantastic. That cockpit is really great too (too many gauges in hard to see places but other than that I love it). However its flight characteristics are a bit stiff. Reducing the weight and increasing the size of the control surfaces (especially the elevator) will help a lot with how it flies.
@MDDJB it would be great to be able to have more customisable paint but I understand why it’s not there. It’s too difficult to add such a thing when the shapes it will be on can be manipulated into an almost infinite number of ways.
Nice one! The overall shape is pretty good but it feels like a skinny version of the plane. The cockpit is also placed a little low but other than that it’s great!
@MDDJB very true. It would also be cool if there were some sort of walk around feature where you can look at a build from the perspective of a person next to it
Really nicely made! The port missile seems to fall off so make sure you check everything is connected before you post a build but other than that this one is really great! Lovely looking MiG-21 and you are one of the few who actually gets the wing proportions close to right!
@Hedero thanks so much for the reminder! I was trying to figure out which tag I was forgetting so I just added a generic one but replica sounds better hahaha. Thanks very much for your kind comment too!

@SimplyPlain if you can think of something else do let me know!
@SledDriver everyone has their specific part or ability they want to SP and that’s a pretty good one. I would love if they had that too
@SimplyPlain thanks buddy! Let’s hear the joke too
@SimplyPlain no problem! I didn’t realise I had one aircraft left to spotlight hahaha. Are you okay with your reward for the challenge?

@teodor99 cheers mate!
@teodor99 Also check this out!
@FranzPeterSiegfried thanks very much for the spotlight!
Wonderfully made! Adding a description would be a good idea
This is really wonderfully made! The shape is close to perfect. Please remind me tomorrow to spotlight this!

Nice that you’re doing that but this seems more appropriate for a forum post :)
@Armyguy1534 I tried to fit one into my most recent upload but it just wouldn’t work. I’ve got to find a more boxy plane to try it on
@Armyguy1534 hahaha I understand. I’m working on my first cockpit now and it’s hard to get myself to make them actually do what they’re supposed to.

However its flight characteristics are a bit stiff. Reducing the weight and increasing the size of the control surfaces (especially the elevator) will help a lot with how it flies.
Lovely build! That cockpit is pretty good and the shape of this aircraft is really nice. I love those indicators in the gauges lol

@MDDJB exactly! It would be great for posts like the buildings you make
@MDDJB very true. It would also be cool if there were some sort of walk around feature where you can look at a build from the perspective of a person next to it

This is beautifully made! I wish there was a better way to explore builds like these in SP other than just zooming into them
Interesting. It also doesn’t seem to really fly. You’re gonna have to push the CoM a lot further up from the CoL if you want it to be stable
Apart from the colour, what else did you change?
@CreamCakes I finally did! And thank you!
“I would like to summon some dead memes”
@Subnerdica and feel free to leave an upvote on this if you liked it :)
@Subnerdica yours is also really nice! It 100% deserves more attention
@Ineedhelp thank you very much!
Incredible job on this one. You really explore and push the boundaries of what is possible on SP
This is really captivating to watch. It looks amazing! These types of builds you make are very cool
@Trainzo I’m glad you like it! The aircraft from your county are just beautiful
@Diloph yup! I tried to fit in some cockpit parts like a gunsight but it just didn’t look very good so I changed it to this. Thanks very much buddy!
@TheFantasticTyphoon hahaha thanks buddy!
@Trainzo It’s not Russian but it is French! I thought maybe you’d like it
@Hedero thanks so much for the reminder! I was trying to figure out which tag I was forgetting so I just added a generic one but replica sounds better hahaha. Thanks very much for your kind comment too!
@mikoyanster thank you very much!
This is amazing! You did a lovely job on this one and it’s great to see someone work this well with the feedback they were given. Beautiful aircraft
@Diloph 😎thanks
