if you would like some tips on how to make a working plane here are some to go by
i hope you have a basic understanding of lift and how all that works so i'm not going to go into that, if you want me to then i can, but i'm going to have a forum post soon that will explain that sort of stuff.
CoM (Center of Mass) in relation to the CoL (Center of Lift) is very important. the center of lift and mass is the center of each of those forces, mass HAS TO BE INFRONT OF THE CENTER OF LIFT AT ALL TIMES if you see a plane that just flies up uncontrolibly then its tail heavy. a nose heavy plane is better than a tail heavy plane as you can still control the aircraft. to move the CoM add nose weight and reduce tail weight
the wing area is important, more wing area in relation to the size of the aircraft is important, different airfoils will provide diffrent advantages and disadvantages. if you look in the wing properties there will be a semi-symmetric, symmetric, and flat bottom. symmetric is what you want if you want a low drag low lift aircraft like those used for aerobatic aircraft, semi symmetric is a good middle ground from the symmetric and flat bottom and provides a medium lift and drag, and finally flat bottom is what provides high lift with high drag. higher lift is good as the stall speed is lower.
drag is super important to the speed of the aircraft, and how quickly it reaches its stall speed. drag is the opposing force on an object and with more drag you need more power to push the air that is in front of the aircraft out of the way. do this by reducing drag in the XML modding menu, it is built into the game now so on the home screen it should say mods, activate XML to do this. you should see a new button in the build menu, click it and a group of stuff should come up, look for mass scale and drag scale, this is what you can use to lessen drag and mass for a part. if you want to reduce lag look for calculate drag and set it to false. there is a lot more to the XML modding menu but it gets really complicated and i don't even understand it at times.
sorry for writing a book but this is necessary information to make good high quality flight models. if you want to work on fuselages i suggest playing around with fuselage blocks, they can make life a lot easier when trying to make good shapes.
@CrazyPenguin1306 it is bad, and honestly not what i thought it was, i went to the dogfight and to the first of my planes, and what im going to post is what it is. im not going to do it until im done with my homewirk but it will be done. know that this is when the cannon part first came out, and i was making everything with it.
the morments was also the first aircraft with dual controls for the co-pilot and pilot, as well as many luxuries like a bar, sleeping, and a bathroom, if my memory is correct, thought this was the civilian version im talking about
@tsampoy it'll be fun!
Is it going to be a plne?
They go big boom boom, civilian ships dont.
+1It would be cool and funny, we dont care about price @tsampoy @FeiWu
@tsampoy you should put azipods on my lifeboat
@FeiWu I am speed
Very informative! Definitely will keep that in mind when @tsampoy gives me my ship back.
Gud looken plne.
+1Both
@Simps I cant even tell
@Simps well at least you got something to do. I guess virtual learning comes in handy with going go Iowa
@Simps a less exciting bulldozer
@Simps oof, where are you currently? Going to Iowa would take awhile eh?
Man you were out in that crap? I got like 14 inches of snow at my house. Where ya heading?
Stop droning on about drones.
.
It look gud.
@tsampoy mostly kidding there.
@tsampoy when the frick are you going to get it back to me!!!!!
@tsampoy speaking of the lifeboat.....
Kinda looks like the lifeboat you were making me, just you know minus the head.
@CrazyPenguin1306 here you go my first plane. I was going to post another one, but this was already here, so here you go
Should build the Silverado In the background, its better
Oooohhhhh, that looks super slick!!
not bad for a first plane, definitely better than my first.

taps intensifies hope you come back buddy

I will say your first plane is really sick
You do NOT want to see my first plane. All my first planes are really bad, glad I dont use airalon anymore.
@KeanuMiis do you remember what it was?
@KeanuMiis didn't work
Give me 4 hours and I'll get back to ya (no I wont I'm going to be sleeping)
But my irl friends honestly dont care about this cool game so nothing like this is going to happen to me.
+3I dont get it. ( read that in Patrick's voice)
This sucks to see you go buddy, I still hope to have you on let's talk
@GabeGabeTheFangster7 people, acepilot109 only has 570 something
@ACEPILOT109 thanks buddy!
I'm not leaving so there will still be alot of us.
@EternalDarkness can you make this a sucessor of this challenge please?
@RadiumOxide im going to make a japanese T-6 texan........ i mean a fictional carrier aircraft.....
the morments was also the first aircraft with dual controls for the co-pilot and pilot, as well as many luxuries like a bar, sleeping, and a bathroom, if my memory is correct, thought this was the civilian version im talking about
+3don't see any pictures but cool
are fictional aircraft allowed?
It says the td box works, my mind was like it's called an endzone. American football reference If you didn't know.
+3@CaptainRex123 oof
@CaptainRex123 :0 second!? Oohhhh
@CaptainRex123 ok
@senalPelpmiS I thought you were dead man where have you been!?!
@CaptainRex123 so whrre does that place me?
@Simps I may join but mine will be the best bad car.
The one looks like an Italian sports car, and the bottom one looks like a 60s or 70s wagon.
