@ThomasRoderick yeah its the same cockpit as the vagabond, this arrangement was common of the era vixen, canberra BI etc. Used by radar operator/ navigator etc
@ThePilotDude I'll admit to sort of cheating on this one, I used the fus, wing and tail from seperate previous builds then just added the rest :) I find building relaxing so usually get an hour or so a night in as well. Thanks for the votes, anything you want to see in the future? (I have a biiig flying wing, a push pull and a meteor alternative in the works so far)
Every time I build something of late i get asked for a mobile friendly version, now as most of my parts come from camo or hollow fuselage etc it's pretty difficult to remove all of that and keep the look just to make it more friendly. I'm all for smaller part count to help mobile users but I enjoy building details... just my thoughts on the matter
Do you mean overload? If so there's really not much to it, click the bit you want and then change the value of nudge to what you want and click the button until you are happy. 1 game measurement is 0.5 on the nudge scale.
@Tang0five @xXRaindropXx thanks guys, i was just doodling at work (dont tell the boss) and drew something with booms but they where too far apart to connect like a vampire so i added some small tail units which got me thinking the booms where weak and likely to bend, hence the concept of doing it intentionally. As with all good ideas it was then cemented in my mind as the virgin space launch happened where the little plane has variable geometry booms... =)
My last biplane was a tail dragger, first one I've made where the brakes didn't cause nose to go down, it's all about control balance, if brakes are too powerful adjust them so the arnt :)
@BlitzBombers just your strange comment, normally it's considered polite when critiquing designs to add detail of what you feel could have been improved rather than just post some childish statement.
@ASDFASDF1 in confused, I've just tested it and from wright to krakabloa I've used 20%, challenge is for something to fly wright to snowstone which this is easily capable of. Actually just got to snowstone and I'm on 60% so have enough fuel to get back... not short ranged at all
@Rhinower7aeronautics thanks, in regard to speed this quotes the arado speed at 530mph, now mine doesn't do 800mph. I aimed at 560-600. Ground operations are limited, same as the me163 which only had a skid, you can taxy around carefully using the yaw of the rudders but this wasn't ever a consideration as in real life a tractor would be used to get them lined up and removed after operations (no different to natters, komet etc). With regards to landing i didn't design it for rough landing as I didn't see that as part of the brief, I would have just had a skid if the game had life like frictional characteristics. With regards to water landing, I don't think thrust reversal is very 1940s, again if the game had better friction with the ground / water a long run wouldn't happen but I wasn't comfortable cheating it for what was after all a simple build and a secondary "perk". Just my take on those comments. Thanks again.
try this, you had fuel in the wings which never helps, it also had an uneven number of windows and a door only on one side and drag / mass enabled on everything, ive disabled the drag and mass on all the windows (barring one on the left, which helps with the autoroll for some reason).
@AWESOMENESS360 wings, tail and fus are essentially doubled to get the camo, 5 pieces in each engine, 12 pars to each swastika, 200ish for the launcher :) loads of work to boot.
@Strikefighter04 they did, but there where some awesome looking concepts as well, well ahead of their time, and something like this would have been really interesting to see fly =)
@Tang0five well, as it so happens, this came off one build and is used on another that I have not yet posted. Sorry about the lack of description in regards to exactly what weapon it was, I built this from 2 pictures I hàd, neither of which had any details.
@Type2volkswagen yeah i spent ages making sure drag was even and low(ish) i played with adding upthrust to the engines but the angles where getting silly, i could have angled the whole duct but again it looked daft,i can counter at one speed with elevator tweaks but then when its gliding it has too much pitch up, i thought about adding a small jet to push down gently on the back activated by throttle but again it was more trouble than it was worth.
It's relatively easy, get the red line to be slightly in front of the blue line. Keep control surfaces as small as practical, put wheels where they are on real planes and not stupidly far back, keep wings an tail plane sizes proportional. If you want build something and tag me and I'll show you where you are going wrong
@Mustang51 not being at work at present, helps the designing, plus i had a load of bits stored ready to add. Dont look too closely but the top deck came from the egg ship as did the main guns ;)
@Type2volkswagen oh that's a new one, I usually eject it closer to 60degrees but it shouldn't blow up, try deleting the chute on the front ballast guide (sometime the chute drags it upwards)
@Tully2001 could have tied in the marketing and release with firework though :) just imagine a video of London's firework display all just to celebrate the release of the game lol

+1@Spitfirelad05 thanks :) this is fictional though.

+1@ThomasRoderick I use them to pull sections apart, I obviously moved it out of the way and then promptly forgot about it.... sorry
+1@EternalDarkness are you really ozzy Osbourne?
+1@BaconRoll yeah no probs, just credit me please.
+1Oh dear, you could have just used mine and built a cockpit in that. Here's the link again
+1Ooo does it transform? I loved the macros saga when I was a kid.
+1@greasytortle @JohnnyBoythePilot @Phoza thanks for the comments and support guys, glad you liked it :)
+1@BaconRoll thanks bacon, and now im hungry...
+1@randomusername Cool, I feel kinda dumb for not knowing what you where calculating there... thanks though :)

+1@Heihachi no worries, it's a nice looking build, much better than most of the new posts :)
+1@MrSilverWolf did the results of this get published?
+1@Texasfam04 still hasnt been released from their kidnapping, meby we should start a wanted page?
+1My last biplane was a tail dragger, first one I've made where the brakes didn't cause nose to go down, it's all about control balance, if brakes are too powerful adjust them so the arnt :)
+1Lots of thin panels with different rise on them and no weight or drag, takes some time and practise, have a look at some of my camo builds.

+1@LusK it's your build not mine. Do what you want with it. :)
+1try this, you had fuel in the wings which never helps, it also had an uneven number of windows and a door only on one side and drag / mass enabled on everything, ive disabled the drag and mass on all the windows (barring one on the left, which helps with the autoroll for some reason).
+1yep, was all @AdlerSteiner s fault. Even after i had 3 in his contest i still keep making them =) Ya das ist gut.
+1@Spitfirelad05 no it was completely made up as per the artwork, it's similar but this one dropped towards the front
+1@GhostHTX lol I'm having fun finding odd words :)
+1@AWESOMENESS360 wings, tail and fus are essentially doubled to get the camo, 5 pieces in each engine, 12 pars to each swastika, 200ish for the launcher :) loads of work to boot.
+1Still here and posting loads of builds for people to ignore :)
+1@Strikefighter04 they did, but there where some awesome looking concepts as well, well ahead of their time, and something like this would have been really interesting to see fly =)
+1@Tang0five well, as it so happens, this came off one build and is used on another that I have not yet posted. Sorry about the lack of description in regards to exactly what weapon it was, I built this from 2 pictures I hàd, neither of which had any details.
+1It looks good but those fins and wing trailing edges could do with some work (Oh and glossy tyres are a no no, I used to do that as well...)
+1@Type2volkswagen lol you win.
+1@Type2volkswagen yeah i spent ages making sure drag was even and low(ish) i played with adding upthrust to the engines but the angles where getting silly, i could have angled the whole duct but again it looked daft,i can counter at one speed with elevator tweaks but then when its gliding it has too much pitch up, i thought about adding a small jet to push down gently on the back activated by throttle but again it was more trouble than it was worth.
+1Please don't use the starry one, it may look good on a pc but on mobile it hurts my head and stops you from seeing the build clearly
+1It's relatively easy, get the red line to be slightly in front of the blue line. Keep control surfaces as small as practical, put wheels where they are on real planes and not stupidly far back, keep wings an tail plane sizes proportional. If you want build something and tag me and I'll show you where you are going wrong
+1What have you changed from the other fellas build?
+1@MAHADI nah an yamato is based on the Japanese ww2 battleship of the same name, I based mine very loosely on hms hood
+1@Spacedoge12345plane who cares? It's my favourite build.
+1@Mustang51 yeah I like it too, I've seen ramex delta flying them a few times and was always impressed by the powrr
+1@spefyjerbf @ACEPILOT109 if I'd done it on the pc I would have, on my phone I didn't, if they get upset I'll crop them on the pc.
+1@Mustang51 not being at work at present, helps the designing, plus i had a load of bits stored ready to add. Dont look too closely but the top deck came from the egg ship as did the main guns ;)
+1@Mostly aw i already put loads on, i might make a mk2 with some more so it goes faster trhough.
+1Riat is good
+1@Type2volkswagen oh that's a new one, I usually eject it closer to 60degrees but it shouldn't blow up, try deleting the chute on the front ballast guide (sometime the chute drags it upwards)
+1@Tully2001 I wondered who the did new year fire works for
+1@Tully2001 could have tied in the marketing and release with firework though :) just imagine a video of London's firework display all just to celebrate the release of the game lol
+1@Tang0five try ek-dee-zee-ast mby? :) I googled odd engl8sh words so sorry.
