@Tang0five cool, I look forward to seeing it. Im suffering from all the panelling pain with these wing shapes and now have the dreaded panelling camo to start...
@ThomasRoderick I dont think you need to worry about me stealing your code, i cant even find it... =) All it says in the input for the vtol unit is AGRV so i cant even work out how to edit the variables. This is why i avoid complicated funkycrap and stick with what i know. Thanks anyway.
@ThomasRoderick I tried the amended code and it still doesnt appear to work. I use a VTOL engine for the uplift mechanism, i input this code and rather than kick in after X amount of speed it just stays off.
@ThomasRoderick its the old way of identifying velocity / speed, i use it as; a) i used it before funky trees so im used to it, b) its simple and c) i dont know what else to do =)
@SilverStar Thanks for the comment, are you using full flaps on landing (i also use 1/2 trim down and around 10% throttle) and it lands at around 160mph / 130kts.
@Tang0five I didnt intentionally relate it to Geology, i named it after a band i have been listening to =) Most of the time a name is the hardest part of the build.
@BaconAircraft any chance you can add this as a successor to this challenge please: https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/GJ29Wg/Pusher-Aircraft-Challenge?showAllComments=true#comment-4134775 Thanks in advance
@OUSSAMAX ive made a few https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/90UVE2/24th-January-2021-RJ-Halocene-B1-9-8 https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/1sP8Zj/RJ-Blackburn-Firethorn-7-6 https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/xXb7d3/Mitsubishi-RJ-36-Trudy-1-9 etc etc. just have a flick through my builds list you will find loads.
@teddyone02 yeah thats what it is based from, but i get a bit bored with everything having to be American or Russian so i do it as if the UK still has a large active aircraft industry =)
@Dovahk Thanks, tanks are not really my thing. I only dabble in them from time to time. I will bear it in mind though if i do decide i want another tank build.
@spectre118 If you are on about the wingtip dihedral, see the image i have added to the description above. The angle is almost exactly what was on the phantom wing even though i have made a completely different wing.
@SyntheticL I discussed this bug with Jamesplanesii a long time ago, i think i pressed Z at somepoint during the build (not sure if it was in a certain menu or something) and it turns all parts invisible on the 3 view - apart from lettering it would appear, with no way to rectify that im aware of. I provide enough images so not a biggy really.
@jamesPLANESii ah that would be why i wasnt aware of it =)
I've been working on another ww1 biplane and because it has to have a cockpit anyway i was using the VR parts, but i was wondering how do rudder peddles interact with VR? im assuming they are just ignored as VR is just hands and head right?
@jamesplanesii thanks for the upvotes. Out of curiosity I've wondered how/why your name is in green? I've seen a few people with names in green but there doesn't appear to be a pattern in regards points?
@BreadIsAfruit Theres loads of issues with the concept i feel. For instance the wheel geometery changes when the wing moves up or down so pitching up lifts the rear and puts the nose down (the opposite of what you want for takeoff and landing). Theres probably a reason Vought used a top mounted wing on the crusader... I tried to make the pedestal chunky to reduce how weak it looks dangling a wing below it.
@DieLoaf Feel free to pass your opinion on things, i dont mind even if i dont agree with you lol. I kind of get what you are saying, im struggling to see how my builds are too similar, if i reuse anything i tend to rebuild everything else (so if i use the wing, then the fuselage etc. will be completely new) and i build everything from ww1 to the far distant future, i suppose they all have wings and a fus but that about it for similiarities unless they are part of a sequence of builds. I'm not interested in replicas, i would much rather use my imagination and put my own slant on an aircrafts design, sometimes using real aircraft for inspiration, sometimes not - this does test my skills much more than slaving over a single build to make sure its a millimeter perfect copy of something that has already been built. Just out of curiosity why was my F104 annoying?
@DieLoaf Thanks for your comment and upvote. Ive tried making cockpits in the past, to me it an enourmous waste of time / effort / parts - i rarely fly an aircraft from cockpit view so its of no benefit (I prefer to work on the aircraft itself - each to their own.) Daft as it may sound but i only found the advanced button for slicing halfway through this build... so i was working with only being able to slice one side which obviously limited my building, i have found it now so hopefully it will help in future builds (that have not already started lol). Yeah i agree with you regarding the U/C but its not that far out of position, the long nose and heavy engine up front would have brough the CofG forward from the normal 1/3rd of the wing chord, but its my fault as i re-used an existing wing from a tail dragger.
@WhyBreadSoFattning can you elaborate on that? This is a big twin engine aircraft that should be heavy to fly around but its a doddle to takeoff, fly and land so im confused why you think its hard to fly???
@HelloHelloTheUnt awesome. I was meant to go to Duxford a few years ago to get a flight with nettie but other things happened and then covid stopped play.... glad she is still glying. I did a semi scalecreplica of her on here s while back hence having tye fuselage for this.
@LieutenantSOT to be honest I wouldn't know where to start with variables, I only use commands people have given me. In my opinion funkytrees are the worst thing to be added to this game, it used to be about building aircraft with basic functions which was fun, now if you don't use a multitude of complex formulas no one appears interested. I'm seriously considering just not posting builds, the fun for me has always been the building, some upvotes etc are nice but not essential.
@Tyrell weird, i was flying at 100% throttle and it was fine... It's not even my build, all i did was make the thing fly as the original was like a brick.
@Tyrell i have just redownloaded this, it flies fine, just use half flaps and a bit of up pitch on takeoff as per normal, no prop strikes for me (and i even landed it without striking the prop)
@Tang0five cool, I look forward to seeing it. Im suffering from all the panelling pain with these wing shapes and now have the dreaded panelling camo to start...
@Jaydonjoel ?
@TimsonAviation Thank you =)
@ThomasRoderick I dont think you need to worry about me stealing your code, i cant even find it... =) All it says in the input for the vtol unit is AGRV so i cant even work out how to edit the variables. This is why i avoid complicated funkycrap and stick with what i know. Thanks anyway.

@ThomasRoderick Unfortunately that command doesnt work, nothing happens at all.
@Mustang51 I don't even know how this ended up working :) Edensk may be the best person to ask?
@Ace117 thanks 😊
@SilverStar Thanks for the comment, are you using full flaps on landing (i also use 1/2 trim down and around 10% throttle) and it lands at around 160mph / 130kts.
@Sergio301 I wasn't hidden :)
@Tang0five I didnt intentionally relate it to Geology, i named it after a band i have been listening to =) Most of the time a name is the hardest part of the build.
@Liquidfox01 thanks, I was away from here myself for a while.
@BaconAircraft any chance you can add this as a successor to this challenge please: https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/GJ29Wg/Pusher-Aircraft-Challenge?showAllComments=true#comment-4134775 Thanks in advance
@teddyone02 Thanks =) Also thanks for checking out some of my older work, its a shame that a month after release they get forgotten about.
@Droidy247 yeah the hatch on the top would blow off before bang seat operated (same as the sea vixen in this regard)
@Skykid028 cool, thanks for the tag.
@OUSSAMAX ive made a few https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/90UVE2/24th-January-2021-RJ-Halocene-B1-9-8 https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/1sP8Zj/RJ-Blackburn-Firethorn-7-6 https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/xXb7d3/Mitsubishi-RJ-36-Trudy-1-9 etc etc. just have a flick through my builds list you will find loads.
@Type2volkswagen yeah I'm still here, just tinkering from time to time now when I'm inspired to do so :)
@SteadfastContracting your not the only one, on bandit Airport I was always losing the middle props... glad you liked it though.
@JackTheAvGeek help yourself, thanks for asking.
@teddyone02 yeah thats what it is based from, but i get a bit bored with everything having to be American or Russian so i do it as if the UK still has a large active aircraft industry =)
@asteroidbook345 the damper code worked (with 10000 as the figure), thanks, I can now progress that build =)
@asteroidbook345 I shall try that, thanks. I had already increased mass of attached parts etc do hopefully the damper code works
@Dovahk Thanks, tanks are not really my thing. I only dabble in them from time to time. I will bear it in mind though if i do decide i want another tank build.
@spectre118 no worries, id rather know if id dropped a clanger anyway =)
@spectre118 If you are on about the wingtip dihedral, see the image i have added to the description above. The angle is almost exactly what was on the phantom wing even though i have made a completely different wing.
@spectre118 why do you think that? The wing is basically from a mirage.
@GriseoCattus sorry, just "gee, thanks" is used in the negative where im from.
@GriseoCattus Was that sarcastic? What did you want?
Like this
@SyntheticL I discussed this bug with Jamesplanesii a long time ago, i think i pressed Z at somepoint during the build (not sure if it was in a certain menu or something) and it turns all parts invisible on the 3 view - apart from lettering it would appear, with no way to rectify that im aware of.

fixed missile variant here
@V perfect, thankyou so much for this, it works brilliantly.
@jamesPLANESii ah that would be why i wasnt aware of it =)

@MAHADI just wondering if there was an update on this?
@BreadIsAfruit Theres loads of issues with the concept i feel.

@Liquidfox01 good fun isn't it :) thanks for your upvote and comment
@AirCrashInvestigationFLR wow, must be an old phone... mine runs this without an issue and its nearly 4 years old...
@DieLoaf Feel free to pass your opinion on things, i dont mind even if i dont agree with you lol.

@WhyBreadSoFattning it does have afterburner. Have you pressed ag2 to turn engines on and then full throttle with ag1 on? It pitches around 60knts...
@WhyBreadSoFattning can you elaborate on that? This is a big twin engine aircraft that should be heavy to fly around but its a doddle to takeoff, fly and land so im confused why you think its hard to fly???
@BogdanX Thanks Bog, ill have to fix that, i wonder when that got stuck as it was definately working when i was building...
@HelloHelloTheUnt awesome. I was meant to go to Duxford a few years ago to get a flight with nettie but other things happened and then covid stopped play.... glad she is still glying. I did a semi scalecreplica of her on here s while back hence having tye fuselage for this.
@pedro16797 did mine get entered? here, its less than 350parts and has the appropriate tags.
