@GhostHTX heres the templates I use, if you need another variety let me know as i probably have the pieces already to put together. If you want any help with the fitting, let me know.
@jamesPLANESii it says he was a mechanic but doesn't go into his flight experience (if any) but I'm assuming if he works on fixing them he probably knew which buttons did what.
@GhostHTX thanks, I fully agree, it ended ok and was entertaining in its own way :) I forgot to mention aircraft museums are also a large part of my inspiration, i was recently at cosford hence the p75.
@GhostHTX a lot of the inspiration came from designs on deviant art, I'm trying not to copy them per se after I had a little run in with one of the designers (We sorted it amicably but id rather avoid that sort of thing recurring.) Barring that the internet is a wonderful source of inspiration in general, I saw a photo of 2 a10s banking yesterday and their wings lined up perfectly to make it look like one plane :)
Try building some planes, tells and cars might not suit everyone. Barring that just enjoy building and strive to make every build better than the last.
@Minecraftpoweer ag2 is just meant to arm the bomb not drop it, when I was flying it as long as I wasn't on the ground attack screen it was fine. I was having bother with bombs not going bang so assumed they needed arming
@RodWan ah, it said a dogfighter with props based on a ww2 style so I sort of thought that a fictional post war type aircraft would be what you where looking for. And since the Horten design was posted (a 100% ww2 aircraft) with a few add ons I thought that this would be fine, do you want me to delete it?
A description and a few more pics would be nice (and the main pic actually zoomed in so you can see more plane than black background). Other than that it looks like a nice build
Holy cow man, that looks epic. Now if only we could teach you how to make wings ;p I love the Stirling, I made a wooden model of it a few years back even. @tang0five you seen this?
@GhostHTX thanks :) those roundels are the bane of my life, I can send you the template I made if u want but it's a pain to apply (in brief, I attach the template then use overload to rotate it to match the angle of fus, then I twist and nudge each individual part to match the shape of the fus. If it's a later roundels there are nearly 50 parts to alter...) glad you liked this though, I'm going through an xplane phase
@aircraftarsenal123 yeah there where a few variants, the twin boom was to remove the exhausts from having wash over other parts of the plane which having the thrust closer to cog, glad you liked it.
@OC3LOT1142 yeah man it wasn't a dig at your post I was trying to get to the bottom of the other dudes beef. I try to upvote builds I see that I like, ranks don't come into it, getting the build seen is the hard bit.
@Spacedoge12345plane I'm sure there was some logic there somewhere but I'm struggling to see it. To get to platinum you need votes, to get votes you have to make good builds that people like, thus to get platinum means that your builds are liked. If low level players arnt getting enough attention it's not the platinum builders fault.
@OC3LOT1142 votes are hard to get nowadays, people have to go out of their way to see the build and thus a lot of builds go un-noticed. Just keep trying and all of a sudden one build will take off and then you get some followers and then your builds get some more attention.
@Spacedoge12345plane over-rated? Explain plix, I thought the whole point in upvotes was to vote for what you like?
not vote for a build just because the person is a low rank etc..
Try using drawings from sites like this which you can compare to your builds and use dimensions etc from wiki and the like to ensure your builds are a bit more accurate, it's also worthwhile spending time on individual builds rather than posting loads of basic builds, barring that as long as you are having fun building all is good :)
A nice attempt but you would benefit from comparing your build to some 3 view drawings, the shape is similar but is significantly different from what you are trying to achieve.
@GhostHTX no worries I'll sort it later on, I'll do a B1 roundel as well, I'll try and do the usaf 1 for @WarHawk95 As well.

Console. Pc will always be less restricted and more adaptable.
@RodWan thanks but I've sorted it, I only wanted two positions and links to flaps spoilers and ordinance.

@Chinanbnb b2 inspired but nothing like if you compare it with some b2 plans

I don't normally bother with ships (not my thing) but this looks awesome, must have taken some work.
+2As there's no link to the challenge, the comments have piqued my interest.
@Minecraftpoweer that's awesome, how do you do the smoke? I'm assuming there's a cleaver in it?
@Minecraftpoweer you didn't post a link just a name.
@AWESOMENESS360 nah man I've just had lots of practise, keep up the hard work :) ps your wing gun is awesome :p
You do know that "wing gun" was a pitot tube to give the pilot an airspeed reading, right? ;)

@Minecraftpoweer cool, how can you make it work in a different way? its a flying bomb.
@YuraCat are you still alive???
@rodwan I don't know what happened but it didn't post as a successor even though it's the same build with add one as you mentioned...
@RailfanEthan lol wat strikes again, I've used the basic airframe a few times and people still comment on the insignia :)
@Delosofy thanks, the reason you blew up was the drop tanks are full of fuel and the detached go pop if they hit the floor, ag3 releases them.
@AdlerSteiner @Tang0five @Trainzo thanks guys, glad you liked it, have fun on your bombing runs!
@CursedFlames yeah i just wish they had realised that a mosquito type canopy doesnt suit a supersonic aircraft... =)
@ChickenDodger132242 use discord to dump an then use the link in the post.
@Lancelot20021230 no worries, I only know as I have a plastic kit of it =) this page may help you.

Y only the one main float? The real spitfire had two fitted and no wing tip floats ;)

@ChiChiWerx thanks, it happens, nvm onto the next build :)
@Sgtk @ploptro7 thanks for the votes and comments.
@CRJ900Pilot @Tang0five @ChiChiWerx thanks for the votes and comments again guys.
@aircraftarsenal123 yeah there where a few variants, the twin boom was to remove the exhausts from having wash over other parts of the plane which having the thrust closer to cog, glad you liked it.
@CursedFlames thanks, the detailing is what makes the planes on here, but I hate roundels on curved surfaces all the same :p
+1Welcome back, I see you have met spacedoge... enjoy :)
Aw no teaser pics
+3lol my flying boat has a wingspan in excess of 500ft.
@Spacedoge12345plane was that a dig at my builds?
+1@OC3LOT1142 no worries dude, votes appear to be an emotive subject. The other fella just winds me up basically saying platinum don't deserve votes.
