@MethaManAircraft wow, reply and a half.
Speed is difficult to get right at all altitudes (i suppose with new inputs i might be able to slave an airbrake to altitude but ive not tried it) so I set it for high altitude cruising
Drag from the flaps, again subjective, i didnt want it falling out of the sky at slow speeds,
Landing gear, I dont like linking doors to same button as LG as they clash, if there was a way to delay a rotators to properly sequence I would.
Manoverability, again subjective, I wanted it to still be controllable at high altitudes and not have a problem at slow speed, again if not 100% accurate its usable.
The co-pilot has a ground looking radar screen in front of him to use for bombing (I thought a bit more tech, rather than another seat / bomb aimers position was preferable for this invented build)
Part count is due to the paneleing of the fus and wings along with the number of dials etc. Flight model is more to make the plane fun to fly rather than be 100% accurate, nothing worse than not being able to manoever on what is essentially a game. Thanks for the post, hope this answers some questions and highlights my philosophy for this build.
@asteroidbook345 thanks, it's not being limited that stops me, replicas take a massive amount of time in comparison to fiction and they attract people who want to just state that the wheels are 1ft in the wrong position etc. I made most of my replicas prior to the blueprint mod which made it harder for people to compare (and me to build) .
@Hedero they are similar, i designed the wing to show someone how to do a tapered wing and just thought i should use it for one of my own builds here for wing if you want it
@OrangeConnor yeah, the pitch was intentional, its roughly the same sort of size as an BF-110 so I wouldnt have thought it was that manoeverable considering weight etc.
@Tang0five I dont know, I had 2 until I saw the f35 then flipped one to the underside :) strange really, the Americans only had their emblem on 1 wing, the f35 is american, mby they didnt realise we have 2...
@Mustang51 your not wrong, I'm working on a build which has a swing wing with variable angle of attack plus flaps and rotating ordinance pylons. Now sp is fighting me, every time I touch a part something randomly attaches to something else....
@ND40X quote on the ee lightning, "A combination of Dunlop Maxaret[50]anti-skid brakes on the main wheels and an Irvin Air Chute[67] braking parachute slowed the aircraft during landing. A tailhook was also fitted."
@ND40X I designed it for ground attack via agm's so didnt think a gun was viable. I'm sure 1 could be added in a pod on one (or both) under belly pylons.
@Stormfur I did use 3 different colours on the wing to help with that, I meant to do the same on the fus but forgot so that only has orange and yellow.

@Thecatbaron lol you win, I thought they fit this though, ill have to be careful with what i recycle with observant people around on here =p
@Thecatbaron They are actually XB-42 Mixmaster wings but whos checking =)
Dave
+1@ArcturusAerospace yes, yes it is. Thanks for looking at my older builds. Mby I should do one with a Las cannon or multi-melta pod :)
@ChisP I wouldn't bet on it, I dont win many competitions so just give it a shot

@Spikerya ah k, sorry. I do have some older builds with lower part count if you want to have a look.
@MAHADI nah, too easy to critique =p
@GhostHTX you've seen me? this camo must be rubbish =)

@humair56 no idea, no one else has reported an issue.
@thefalkenreich yep, I love some German words, I like their word for ambulance for instance :) I thought Guinea pig was relevant here.
@Spikerya cool, ty, why couldn't you download my other builds?
@MAHADI well that's 2 entries done... now what can I do for my 3rd? Hmmm. Well looks like im going to be home for a while so I can take my time :)
Woah, I thought it was just yet another warthog but nooo, wow. Good work
+2Click on ground attack, press alt to fire.
@goboygo1 nah, that's just my save name, changed it now. Ty.
Check the detacher, some of mine had changed command and stopped working, just change them back.
@Tang0five he was seconded, i mean kidnapped and forced to work, yeah definately kidnapped. I can claim its under 1000 parts now though =)
+1@JaeBeansS I probably will as well, dont worry about it
@MAHADI oh man, I was busy on jet stuff and/or fictional British ww2 aircraft, now I have to do something with zigzags :)
@CenturiVonKikie told you I was pondering a fighter version =)
+1@FairFireFight yeah, thats great on WW1 or early WW2 aircraft but it was replace by 1:2:3 from 1947ish.
Are you planning on sorting the roundel ratios? seehere for ratios.
@CenturiVonKikie thanks, I'm pondering a fighter version :)
The pattern is full
@drfsdev it's under resizable wheel and called brake torque
It's in the XML list on the wheel, think it's called wheel brake.
@ChisP thanks :)
Right on the centre line, plenty of runway left and you can walk away from it :)
+3Like this or at least that's how I do it
+2@MethaManAircraft oh dear, yes indeed I do... what a booboo
@Diloph working trailing link? Do you mean a video of it working?
@Tang0five I dont know, I had 2 until I saw the f35 then flipped one to the underside :) strange really, the Americans only had their emblem on 1 wing, the f35 is american, mby they didnt realise we have 2...
I agree with bog, plus in the 40s gay meant happy, not the same connotations as current language

@Mustang51 thanks :) I enjoyed this build, for once I didnt feel like the game was fighting me lol
@ND40X now that's something ivd not seen, I've read about them, what ballast / slows the cable?
@ND40X quote on the ee lightning, "A combination of Dunlop Maxaret[50]anti-skid brakes on the main wheels and an Irvin Air Chute[67] braking parachute slowed the aircraft during landing. A tailhook was also fitted."
+1@ND40X "When used to shorten an aircraft's landing, a drogue chute is called a drag parachute or braking parachute."
@Asuria thanks, glad you like them.
@Asuria thanks, glad you like them.
Oooh 1 of 21, I'm elite :)
+3@ND40X use a vtol unit on an activate group and 2 small nozzles in the exhaust. If you take the scarab or my latest lighting apart you will find them.
@SaintNPC thanks :)
@ND40X I designed it for ground attack via agm's so didnt think a gun was viable. I'm sure 1 could be added in a pod on one (or both) under belly pylons.
@jamesPLANESii probably due to using the same real aircraft for inspiration :)
+1@Stormfur I did use 3 different colours on the wing to help with that, I meant to do the same on the fus but forgot so that only has orange and yellow.
