I've finished my entry! I'm not sure which category to enter in, since it should be simple due to drag and weight, but advanced because of the dimensions and performance. Don't judge me too hard on the description please, I'm on mobile and new to all the fancy stuff
Scratch the advanced entry, I'm gonna do simple category, since my plane will be too big (whoo, details, also i dont feel like fine tuning parts to .005, not to mention xml modding weight... Or maybe I'll still enter in advanced. I'll let you pick when I get a basic mockup done
Yeah I'll enter. I'm gonna give it the background of being a unique garage built design, instead of a mass produced design. I'm undecided on which class to enter, but I'm gonna try and detail it a lot, so likely advanced.
Well done, definitely better than any replica I'd try to make, hence why all my builds are fictional aircraft....
Only things I disagree with are the missiles and gatling guns, but besides that, 10/10 build
@PhantomAviator Alright, thanks. I'll come up with something. So far I've used my truck and added on a trailer that would mount weapons, but scrapped it cus I didn't like it, and now I'm working on an APC type build, although I'm having issues there as well. I should rest a bit, cus building that truck took a lot outta me
A few other questions as well, does it have to be combat focused, or can it be something else, such as a scavenger or logistics vehicle, and does it have to be like Mad Max, or can I look at the actual technical parts of a post-nuclear wasteland?
everyone here is talking about planespotting these big international long haulers
Here i am stuck in West Virginia with the biggest plane to land here is an A318
Ayee, I love this thing, I might have just discovered it within the past year, but still a cool plane. I have it in war thunder as my first supersonic. Sucks its too expensive to actually use in battle :(
Finally, it's done to the point of being worthy to be uploaded. I need to rest a bit before continuing any work on this specific design, but my next design is either going to be a swing wing fighter-bomber or an amphibious vehicle carrier.
Aight, I figured out the issue, that parts were duplicating. Each part duplicated 3 times, and assuming each wheel well thingy has 20 parts, that's about 240 extra parts, right?
Yeah, I'll probably have to port it to PC to finish this, I'm only 1/3 of the way done, I still have to do the interior and fifth wheel and many other things, and I'm already at 386 parts. My phone is slowing down in the game as I build. I am using an LG Stylo 5+. If I cannot finish this, I will post an update and give everyone permission to take this and finish it in their own eyes.
Neat little fact, I chose piston engines because of an incident where a US Navy cargo plane was taking off from a carrier and hit a rogue wave. Thanks to its piston engines, it was able to keep flying without further incident, but if it had jets or turboprops, it would've crashed into the water. So that's why I chose pistons.
@XP lol you're good man, you didn't sound mean at all. My phone just really didn't like me making a background. I re-uploaded this plane because the background isn't supposed to be in the download lol. Thanks for the tips, though
@XP i cant remember if its you that told me to improve the way i present my plane, but I listened, and I suffered. My plane suffered. My grammar is suffuring
Let me sum up making the background in a nutshell
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Or not... Too many parts ;(
Im adding a 25mm autocannon on the roof
@UltraLight Welp we know who won lol
@AlmostMobileFriendly Oh no. Welp, guess we know who's gonna win lol
@UltraLight Oh well, I'll take simple then lol
@UltraLight lmao nice
i have no idea how i achieved such a low stall speed considering it weighs 17 tons and is about the size of a WW2 bomber
I've finished my entry! I'm not sure which category to enter in, since it should be simple due to drag and weight, but advanced because of the dimensions and performance. Don't judge me too hard on the description please, I'm on mobile and new to all the fancy stuff
The drag points are ruining me aghhhhh
It's detailed enough to be advanced but so hard to balance drag lol. I've already memed the flight model lol

WAIT SO I WOULD ONLY TAKE UP 30% OF THIS COCKPIT??!?!
?MY PLANES ARE OVERSIZED?!?!
Yeah I'll enter. I'm gonna give it the background of being a unique garage built design, instead of a mass produced design. I'm undecided on which class to enter, but I'm gonna try and detail it a lot, so likely advanced.
@Northsoutheastthrop WHOO BABY THATS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT
mannn wish people would upvote or comment or sumthin
@UltraLight Aww, no funny RATO. Well, time to put my future engineering doctorate to the test! Only 3 more years til I can start work on getting it...
Would RATO and braking rockets count as engines? I'm gonna brute force STOL.
This is the kind of thing I was going for when building my truck! Well done lad, well done. I hope i can build something as good as this someday, heh.
Well done, definitely better than any replica I'd try to make, hence why all my builds are fictional aircraft....

@lilsniper334 welp, since this is the only entry I can do, I'm gonna make something magnificient...
@lilsniper334 How's this look? I've still got a good week or two, so I might make a different entry.
@DameTheNewbie Lit, lol, I made an airliner then you make one.
@PhantomAviator how did i get the notification for mentioning myself

@lilsniper334 Would cutting the roof off and slapping a 106mm recoilless rifle on it be good, or should I do more than that?

Here i am stuck in West Virginia with the biggest plane to land here is an A318
Can I base a tank off my semi truck build?
@AWESOMENESS360 yeah my F-111 wannabe sucks lol
@MajorSix who needs width hehe
@DameTheNewbie When you make something, I make something, with inspiration, haha.
Lol I've been thinking of doing one of these. Lil chubs jet hehe
Time for my jet :)
After further development, I think we have a worthy counter of this vehicle, the magnificent B-17A! Hahaha... Haha... Ha...
Could my Hughes A-2 Owl count towarda the challenge? It was built after the challenge was announced, but before I was made aware.
@DameTheNewbie Mainly just means you're excited or happy
absolute pog
@Skylerthedrawer thancc

Wait, its mobile friendly?
Aw no, I forgot to move the badge back into the body

bruh how do i add pictures
@DameTheNewbie Now I'm gonna build a truck lol
@PrinzEugen99 YOOO that's awesome man. The West Virginia is my favorite ship, God bless your great grandpa, he was a brave man.
@DameTheNewbie Thanks, your designs actually inspired this and played quite a role lol
