@SilverStar Why are trim and flaps reversed on this build?
Great question! This was a necessary adjustment to ensure that the visual control surfaces match the actual aerodynamic behavior of the aircraft in SimplePlanes. Here's how it works:
Technical Explanation:
Hidden Wings & Structural Covering:
Like many builders, I covered the wings with structural parts for a more realistic appearance. The actual lift-generating wings are hidden beneath.
Control Inputs for Pitch Adjustment:
The horizontal stabilizers (at the rear) control pitch and can be adjusted by both the trim slider and the main pitch input.
The flaps (on the mid-wings) are normally controlled by the VTOL slider but also affect pitch slightly, much like stabilizers do.
Flap Lift vs. Trim Lift:
On most aircraft, flaps generate more lift than the Trim of horizontal stabilizers, but in my build, the horizontal stabilizers actually produce more lift than the flaps.
To match the expected movement, I assigned the trim function to the visual flap covers (fuselage which looks like a flap), so they move when the trim slider is adjusted, giving the illusion that the flaps are responding to trim.
Reversing the Controls for Realism:
Since my aircraft's trim (horizontal stabilizers) has a greater aerodynamic effect than the flaps, I assigned the trim adjuster to control the flaps visually while the VTOL slider adjusts the stabilizers.
This way, what you see on the aircraft matches how it actually behaves aerodynamically, creating a more immersive and realistic flight experience.
Final Note:
I originally tried switching the technical control inputs (instead of the visuals), but it didn't work correctly. So, I adjusted the visual control assignments instead. The end result? The aircraft behaves correctly while also looking accurate!
Unfortunately it does not work on my device, I get less than 1 fps. If there are at least 3 people who can rate the movement performance, weapons, playability from 1 to 10, can they tag me and give me their scores? In the final case, the score will be close to the average of the 3 points. I would be better if you could help (at least gold rank for reliability)

@MobileBuilder21 Wait for it!
@MobileBuilder21 Sorry I can't do that. But I'm planning a new challenge after current one ends. You can join that.

@ComradeComissar Is April 15 Okay? Because im planning another challenge after that.
@Grob0s0VBRa @ComradeComissar
As i promised before i'm delaying the deadline.
NEW DEADLINE IS APRIL 15
(Tell me if you want to join but need time)
@PlaneFlightX
Thank you for your rating. Your detailed feedback will help so much.
@MalaySmoker You are right. I checked other posts. You deserve 7 points for it.
@MalaySmoker So +2 Points for post content
@MalaySmoker I made a change, now it works. I uploaded on a different platform. Click the link
You can use this link to add your gif.

This can be considered a superweapon.
@Grob0s0VBRa If you want to join i can make the challenge a little bit longer.
I can not judge this as a superweapon because this is not.
@SemedianIndustries Actually its too huge but i think i can judge it.
@L1nus Yeah, this will be a problem for them.
@L1nus Sorry but what did you mean by "FT flying"?
@SimplePotato
Challenge is closed
@MrPigee I will test it but later.
@fgy123456789 They don't release. Just doors open.
@Theinfinite I really liked your design but this is just a regular bf-109 it has to be a superweapon to participate in the challenge.
@Panzerwaifu69 Ok
@JSTQ No, if you want to use your own missiles this method is better.
@StopBreathingMyAir Max limit is 3
@Neruneten21 It sounds good!
@FartResidue I added an orbit camera on the stable part of jammer.

@Logontery Tail?
@SargentoMalvinas I will look
@SPsidearm why not
@XiaoPiao141 I will try to download. If i can plag without crashing the game i will rate
