@natekid2222 thanks :) the things you stated where all for justifiable reasons though (not sure what you mean by wheel door thing), the flaps on aircraft are always down when readying for takeoff (somepeople dont figure out how to put them down on SP before trying to takeoff), the airbrake was so you could have engines on and airbrake deployed, it helps when using it on the refueling mod to control speed, if you have it on the brake button its airbrake or power not both.
@AdlerSteiner what's happening with this then? Or have I entered yet another competition that just falls by the way side. Ps I'm going to post this every month till it is.
@ThomasRoderick wow thanks for the detailed response.
I still like it though (but maybe that's just me, sometimes something can be appealing even though it should be ugly, look at the we lightning or bb buccaneer), if you compare it to the blueprints of a yak 38 forger the airframe, intakes etc are almost 100% matching, that said I then changed the cockpit and wheels to suit what i wanted as well as trailing edge of wing and fins. The fins where a compromise as a single large fin like the yak would have, in combination with the undercarriage, made it too tall for a British carrier.
Mby my first mistake was basing the build on a Russian design but it looked to me anyway as if it was a mini tsr2 with other aircraft bits thrown in already. I did try to combine a few different things such as the slats and flaps, cutting edge leading and trailing edges but as I mentioned earlier the basics where a very close replica of a real aircraft.
I still load it to fly about in over most of my other builds, maybe I should have named it marmite :) I like it but each to their own. Again thanks for the honest opinion and comments, I shall certainly consider them for any future builds.
@MOPCKOEDNISHE aw this looks so awesome, i used your old tracks mod and they where brilliant but not adjustable enough, this one looks to fit the bill perfectly for 2 builds i have part done already, not wanting to rush you but is there an eta for release?
@WNP78 thanks :) glad you liked it. The twin fins resulted in roll when rudder applied, I was going to cheat and hide 1 the fuselage but never got round to it... my bad. I should have put counter measures on ooops
@Tang0five @grizzlitn @TheFantasticTyphoon thanks again, votes and comments appreciated as Always, these new bits are making the game more interesting.... if only I was interested in helis lol
@TheFantasticTyphoon it's only about 75% complete, need to do all the u/c doors/ bays, decorative details, lights, weapons and pylons, fuel tank fins etc. Probably finish it in the next few days.
@xGeneralFischx no you go into you c drive open the folders listed in that post, copy and paste the last one onto your desktop and voila you have made a backup, really not all that hard.

@Mumpsy apparently results are here, @AdlerSteiner Thanks, didn't know they had been released as no tags or link ;)
@Mumpsy yeah i nearly missed this months prompt lol

@Diloph Ah ok, thanks, if i can be bothered i might do a re-build but it will be much more detailed =)
@Diloph whats that meant to mean then?
@ThomasRoderick i didnt even know that existed... thanks though. I had even googled staghound variants.

@mikoyanster thanks for the spotlight.
@CRJ900Pilot @grizzlitn @LordSatan Thanks for the comments, it's a fun little vehicle
+1@Tang0five @MEERKAT978 @WhyAreWeHere Thanks guys, glad you liked it.
+1My last build was based on a yak38 :)
+1@WNP78 thanks :) glad you liked it. The twin fins resulted in roll when rudder applied, I was going to cheat and hide 1 the fuselage but never got round to it... my bad. I should have put counter measures on ooops
@BlackhattAircraft you can probably bookmark it in your browser ;)
@Akhtar04 no worries
@Sgtk here you go, camo tutorial is hereski
+2@Tang0five well frantic Matty used your build on his video here
@RAF1 Thanks, I obv didn't hide it's base model enough, yak38 was the aircraft I based this off :)
+1@ChiChiWerx :) Thanks, that's what I thought hence not tweaking the flight model, I like the slow speed handling bit, I nearly got it down on tiny.
@jamesplanesii thanks for the spotlight.
Those rear wheels need to be moved wayyy forward, they are usually located just behind com.
@BogdanX go on then boggy I'm intrigued enough to ask, what should I have done with it?
@CptJacobson yep, she's large. I don't think I will put an arrestor hook on this one :)
Swinging wings changes com, add a piston with a weighted block to counter it
@WNP78 I'll leave that for you to work out ;)
@Tang0five congratulations on platinum old chap :)
+1Are there any more planes you can use the cockpit and fuselage For?
@F104Deathtrap Thanks man, i really liked this build and the options for colour schemes as you may have noticed =) Thanks for my 50th upvote.
+1@Stormfur ? what flipping like flapjacks?
Missile racks are not in the same place from side to side, nice looking build though. I made one a long time ago :)
+2@MegaFox I've seen the one in hull :)
@BaconRoll thanks :) I take it that bacon roll approves of the build after I teased them and all.
+2@Tang0five @grizzlitn @TheFantasticTyphoon thanks again, votes and comments appreciated as Always, these new bits are making the game more interesting.... if only I was interested in helis lol
+2@CRJ900Pilot @Phoza @SelectAKey thanks for the votes and comments, glad you like the build.
+1@TheFantasticTyphoon @CRJ900Pilot @BaconRoll it's posted :)
+2Posted here

@CRJ900Pilot what do you need?
@xGeneralFischx go ask Apple then, pity their devices are so restrictive in what you can do...
@xGeneralFischx no you go into you c drive open the folders listed in that post, copy and paste the last one onto your desktop and voila you have made a backup, really not all that hard.
@xGeneralFischx .... it tells you where your local save files are, which are the ones you want to back up.
have a look at andrew garrisons post for 1.8, it tells you. here
@BaconRoll @CRJ900Pilot @canard35 thanks guys, ive just put a couple of more advanced photos on as well, its coming together nicely.
+1@Notaleopard I wouldn't go that far, they still have a place but they are too easy to criticise unnecessarily.
+1I try to avoid replicas now, too unimaginative for my liking
+2@Galland thanks :)
+1@Kimcotupan15 looks awesome, the background colour helps show it off without distracting from the build, well done.
@DuckMint thanks :)
@Leviatham no idea, tag eternal darkness or tully they might know being moderators and all.
