@ChiChiWerx well I bought the sp app for my phone Samsung s6. It does take a while to load, but load it does. Just leave it to load and it works seemingly (unless Apple cause issues).
@Tang0five I've just bought the mobile app and flew it around on my phone, it's great, I was even doing inverted circuits :) mby it's just playing it on the phone but once it's off the deck it's no problem at all.
@ChiChiWerx not sure, I had to scale the seats up but barring them and the usual control surface scaling everything is normal. It does take a little longer than normal to load but the game does that to me sometimes... try deleting the seats see if it loads, otherwise I'll try and go over it later to see what's up (it does load ok on my pc)
@EternalDarkness no worries, enjoy. Sorry for load times, i had to scale a few bits, barring that its fun =) Thanks for hosting a competition where i had to build something outside of my normal comfort zone.
@CrazyCatZe I made a load of planes over Christmas but didn't finish them, I also have accumulated a lot of stock parts which helps speed up builds. He seems happy, he's away a lot but gets a free tour of the world
@CrazyCatZe my brother ended up being an engineer for p&o cruises, worked on ships all over the world, he wasn't particularly engineering oriented at school but got a scholarship of sorts.
@CrazyCatZe nope, kinda fell into it, I went to the air force recruitment place and all they had to offer where raf soldiers I.e. protecting airfields etc, ended up with an apprenticeship in construction and been there ever since
@CrazyCatZe ich bin dreizein yahre alt. well i was when i did german at school 20years ago. Your english is fine, my German is poor to say the least =)
@CrazyCatZe not that i know of, camo is too complex a thing for 1 or 2 intakes to be used, hollow fuselage is best made via 10 piece shapes and then colour scheme bit added to it, from my experience anyway.
@ChiChiWerx yes panels are 0 drag and weight, i add weight and drag to a build seperately at present anyway so all parts on my build are like that (thanks for the reminder though as i should have mentioned that.) The panels do stick up slightly, ive found 0.003 above the attached panel is the minimum upstand you can get away with without colour glitches (this will probably vary depending on the size of build and the view distance). Round parts are a pain, i tend to make the round part non-round i.e. a dodecagon by paneling then overlay those panels with the camo wrap, not easy, i try to avoid complex camo when round shapes are involved.
@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.
@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
@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).
@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.
@Roswell lol wot. 90% of them are camoed.

@Trainzo @MrSilverWolf thanks again :)
@sexylips35 lol what do you think I am? I'm just a builder, plus I think it's only devs who can change names, so your stuck with that I would think

@AWESOMENESS360 thanks, if i get a change ill get some photos on my dads RC versions which he built from scratch when i was a kid...
@EternalDarkness no worries, enjoy. Sorry for load times, i had to scale a few bits, barring that its fun =) Thanks for hosting a competition where i had to build something outside of my normal comfort zone.
@AWESOMENESS360 @BaconAircraft thanks guys.

@CrazyCatZe I'm in construction, supervising, nothing aeronautical or particularly interesting.
@CrazyCatZe yep and yep.
@Bmcclory thanks your my 96th customer, only 4 to go =)
@CrazyCatZe ich bin dreizein yahre alt. well i was when i did german at school 20years ago. Your english is fine, my German is poor to say the least =)
@CrazyCatZe no worries, your English is better than I am at any other language :)

@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 =)
@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
@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.... =)
@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

@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
@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?
@flyingsteve88 thanks =)
@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.
@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) =)
@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 ;)
