@CrazyCatZe you start by making the round shape out of small rectangles so its not fully round but a 12 sided shape, then you can overlay each piece to get the camo. takes a load of time though, have a look at parts of my BV215 i think it was where i did a bit of that.
@EternalDarkness good man, im glad that the answer, its a bit frustrating otherwise, all that time building and not even worth a reply to say what was good bad or indifferent.
@AnoniMosu ive added the wings as you pointed out, also sorted the launch to be more reliable. The wings actually increase lift (hidden wings fold down as well)
@jaredgamer good :) if your gentle you can land when it's heavy as well, I do it all the time, the physics are annoying on heavy builds. It's good fun when it's light though isn't it
@LiamW thanks :) I do like the intake blending into the wing shape, and I'm also over the moon with the overall wing shape where it is an aerofoil of sorts. The problem area in my eyes is similar to your comment, directly in front of the intake it's flat unlike the rest of the build and not a very nice shape, I was going to dish it out which would have assisted in the airflow problem but it was causing me problems... Thanks for the comment and upvote btw
@jaredgamer yep, I mentioned that in the description. Sp wheel physics I'm afraid, it's to do with tyecweight of the aircraft, wheels have a built in suspension of sorts that can't be turned off and it's that that moves them on the axle. Remove the weight block I also mentioned in the description which fixes it (but makes it weigh about 30000lbs which isn't realistic for it's size).
I've managed no probs, usually just attach the inlet to the engine then the front of the inlet to the hinge. Have a look a my fairey p75 to see how I've done it
@BlackhattAircraft it's getting to be my specialty :) it's just a bit of planning, a few panels and a lot of manoevering of panels into place. Thanks for the votes and comments, have you seen my b57 canberra? That has some awesome Vietnam camo on it
@Mcllulen so I've tested it again and it's fine, ag1 to elevate ramp, put full throttle on, wait a couple of seconds for full power (you will see the light on the exhaust) then pull back on elevator a bit, ag2 will detach and it flies away fine.
@BaconAircraft aw man that looks awesome, that cockpit should be posyed all by itself, actually it should be included for everyone in the challenge to use (then we will all be at 1000 parts exactly) =)
@EternalDarkness good man/woman, a hiperbipe derivative is now in the works, be warned =) Ps i cant see the results of that competition... all i can see is people asking if its decided lol
@EternalDarkness aw a challenge, now the last 3 I've entered have not been decided which kinda puts me off (even a pesky platinum user...) but since it's you I may well build something if you promise (you don't have to really) to actually judge and decide it within a reasonable timescale :)
@DestinyAviation yeah it ended up thinner than I would have liked but it's so long that a matching width would have lead to a very strange cockpit etc. Thanks for the comment and upvote.
@Marine yeah but it does it for me without it being resized. I just avoid using them, maybe do the same for gyros =p after all you only need gyros if you havnt perfected the flight model anyway.
I get a similar thing when using rocket pods, once they are empty they detach and plane becomes uncontrollable. I don't use gyros though so no idea on your problem.
@X4JB I have it if you look at some of my other posts but it causes some errors so I prefer just to use the one with altered background colour. Thanks for your comments.

@BoganBoganTheMan Sorry it wasnt my intention to advertise my builds, i just used them as examples but ill add the links now.
+2@ChiChiWerx @Trainzo dont know if this is of interest to you but as you have asked about the camo technique previously i thought id tag you =)
@BlackhattAircraft
@AWESOMENESS360 @jaredgamer here you go, camo simplified =)
@EternalDarkness good man, im glad that the answer, its a bit frustrating otherwise, all that time building and not even worth a reply to say what was good bad or indifferent.
+1@EternalDarkness will you release results for every build like bogdan does or just the top 5 like othawne?
+1@Carbonfox1 just click delete on the detacher :)
@LOWEWAYY sorry I've got my own projects at present, feel free to play with this though.
@X4JB ive used the mod you mentioned =)
@Tank6376 its faster
@Mcllulen see if this fixes the launch issue, i increased the bump so its more reliable.
+1@AnoniMosu ive added the wings as you pointed out, also sorted the launch to be more reliable. The wings actually increase lift (hidden wings fold down as well)
@LOWEWAYY everthing ive typed above while you where posting this.... =)
@RedRoosterII fire streak and red top to be precise, I didn't build custom missiles and the stock ones are hardly aim replicas.

@Jurassicty060 thanks :)
@CptJacobson lol a b52 would have fallen out of the sky trying to keep up with this :)
Those wings look like they are straight off a dragon rapide :)
@AWESOMENESS360 I'll do a walkthrough at some point :)
@LOWEWAYY sorry, what?
@LOWEWAYY have a look through my posts, I've done loads of German stuff
I've managed no probs, usually just attach the inlet to the engine then the front of the inlet to the hinge. Have a look a my fairey p75 to see how I've done it
+4@LOWEWAYY yeah if you change it up a bit and you don't cheat the successor system :)
@LOWEWAYY no I don't have an me262 (see bogdanx for that), what do you mean when you want to use this?
@BlackhattAircraft it's getting to be my specialty :) it's just a bit of planning, a few panels and a lot of manoevering of panels into place. Thanks for the votes and comments, have you seen my b57 canberra? That has some awesome Vietnam camo on it
@Mumpsy now there's an idea, new camo colours to make it look like an alien spaceship, now would that fool the Russians?
@BaconRoll @Treadmill103 Thanks guys.
+1@randomusername yep! heaviest build i have made i think, not to mention its wing span.... thanks for your upvote.
+2@flyingsteve88 thanks =)

@EternalDarkness lol, more like my fingers can't hit the right buttons...
@BaconAircraft aw man that looks awesome, that cockpit should be posyed all by itself, actually it should be included for everyone in the challenge to use (then we will all be at 1000 parts exactly) =)
Im going to build a 172 just because of tgis post =) (only joking), if i put 2 together can i call it a cessna 244?
+2@Mcllulen have you put the throttle full forwards and elevated the ramp?
@EternalDarkness good man/woman, a hiperbipe derivative is now in the works, be warned =) Ps i cant see the results of that competition... all i can see is people asking if its decided lol

There are so many pictures I nearly failed to get down to the upvote button ;)

@AnoniMosu thanks for that, I'll update this build with the extending wings, should be interesting to do anyway.
No tags :)
@AnoniMosu not on the single drawing i built this from they didn't. Can you link some evidence to the contrary?
@X4JB I have it if you look at some of my other posts but it causes some errors so I prefer just to use the one with altered background colour. Thanks for your comments.
+1@TheFantasticTyphoon thanks for the upvotes, i still think this is one of my best builds even though it didnt go down too well with the community.
@ThePrototype @CRJ900Pilot @AWESOMENESS360 german secret project is here
@jamesPLANESii it needed 10 more parts to be this year.... =)
