@LaserShark You shouldn't really have any non-planar faces in your 3D models anyways, as that causes problems with not just SimplePlanes but pretty much any CG art. You should share the software if you ever get it working :D It's really cool!
@LaserShark Okay that is pretty cool, and your problem might be because you aren't splitting the quads into triangles, or taking account of it. But doesn't this method kinda take away from the point of playing this game in the first place?
It doesn't fly beacuse you have too many forward facing ailerons/wings, and not enough backwards facing ones to compensate. Too explain better, forward facing wings are inherently aerodyanically unstable, but they are better at cutting through air then backwards facing wings(so less resistance). In real life, planes with only forward facing wings use very advanced flight computers to keep the plane flying straight, but you can also stabilize the plane by adding enough backwards facing wings to counter the aerodynamic imbalance of forwards facing wings.
You should build an actual craft with these. You could build something like a UFO by using super powerful modded engines, and take advantage of the fact that this sphere comes to a dead stop from 800 mph in about 1 second.
To anyone who wants to know. I have a simple fix for this plane to make it easier to take off. put 1000 lbs dead weight in each of the back toes on the feet(the toe section, not the claw). When taking off in water now all you should have to do is pitch back until it takes off. then in flight, set Vtol almost to full down but not quite, until it balances out. The plane is easier to fly this way as well.
If you wana learn how to make a simple, working plane with good aerodynamics, study my Hawk trainer jet, paying close attention to the position of centre of mass and center of lift.
@Exumer Mmmaaaaggiiikarp?! Magi- magi- maaaaaaagikarp
@TheDerpyDude thank you! you should show it to your brother :p
@LaserShark Not a problem, we'll figure it out :D. and if you share it, maybe someone will improve it.

@bjac0 Wow, that...makes it seem like this is not that amazing after all.
So whats your technique for making these. You use xml modding right? Is it just an algorithm for position/rotation.
@TehDuck :D thank you! I like your creations too :)
Thanks for upvotes guys!! maybe I can reach gold with this if people keep upvoting :3
I like the floppy wing tips. They do cool things while you fly.

@DogOfWisdom MMmmm Gurl!! you know it!

@Hadesrocks @Delphinus
this thing rolls more smoothly than most tires I've seen made in this game.
@AeroEngineering Oh okay well thats why you didn't know what Chibi was. I'm kindof an anime geek sometimes :p
@AeroEngineering yeah, cute and small and chibi! have you never heard of chibi manga before?
So I don't know why but the stupid link won't work in the description so I'm posting it in the comments instead: iFalco'sOriginalDesign
@TheMasterSoldier Thank you I will do that.
Wait what!!! why isn't it a successor of iFalco's plane?!?!?!?
Chibi F-15!!!
Me likey :3
@SUPERSAMROCK @Kimo @Hadesrocksz @Delphinus @UnknownNate Thank you!!
@Saruman Ooh yeah thats a good idea! Why didnt i think of that
@TheMajesticMrL I did :3
Very :3 much :D
@Nxcaliburn WIP
Really cool plane!
A huge thanks to everyone who upvoted! >:3c
Wow 21 upvotes already! Thank you everyone!!
I LOVE KOTOR!!!
I really like the look of this plane, It's weird but very elegant.
@MrMecha I'll just do Rick Astley's face next and Rick roll the entire simpleplanes community :D

@laSoul Yes you did! And may I say that your Latios and Latias are excellent creations!
@Misha1004 NP :3
Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude
@Liquidfox I should do Gyarados then :3
oh okay, sorry then :/
@Liquidfox Farfetch'd is a good idea, I will do it eventually. but I was thinking Lugia or Rayquaza next.
@Liquidfox Surprisingly no, I design them beforehand to have proper aerodynamics, so that I don't run into problems later.
I found out why it's unbalanced. There is fuel in one of the right wings that is causing it to permaroll to the right.
DON'T COPY OTHER PEOPLES PLANES, ESPECIALLY WITHOUT CREDITING THEM, OR MAKING THEM THE PREDECESSOR!!!
@MrMecha @Hadesrocks @Delphinus
@MrMecha DID YOUU!!!!...just rick roll on MYYYYYY post!?!?!?!??!?! :p lol wuuut
Yo MAma??
@DeezDucks This boat is the reason I subcribed to you :p
This is a masterpiece
