@SomeSPGuyWhoLikesLore ah OK, it's actually 6ft longer than the hurricane, the fuselage is chunky and the nose is short due to the big engine so maybe its a combination of those?
@ChiChiWerx I appreciate the time taken to produce such a humerous and accurate appraisal of my build, Captain Bentprop would have to try exeedingly hard to live up to his name on this build though. I am astounded you managed to get 400mph out of the build, i had it maxed at 300mph, maybe as the build progressed i tweaked something i shouldnt have. I do admit to rather struggling with both ground and flight characteristics on this build, the fact the engines are so far above CofG / CofL made it darn tricky. I shall endeavour to create a MKII with upgraded features and an improved model. Thanks again, wait until Captain Brentprop (or Bentprop as i read it) sees the next few builds i have lined up...
@WinsWings Not a problem, thanks for doing it now, its a shame old designs die a death for downloads / upvotes after a week or two, there should be a way to cycle them onto the home page or something.
@HariTheSnakk Thanks :) yes, they are only JDAM 38s (small bomb), they are used for precision strikes rather than big bang collateral damage weapons (I think).
@MajGenBlackbird Thanks, glad you liked it, i had forgotten all about this one, it didnt get that many upvotes so it doesnt appear on my list... Im not so bothered about the fix as its just "zeroOnDeactivate = true" missing on one hinge, its fixed on mine now so if i ever do a sequel it will work fine =) You could do a few mods and post it as a successor if you fancied it.
@SomeSPGuyWhoLikesLore nah, the numbers at the end tell me how many saves I made making it I.e. this is build Has taken 70 saves. It just helps me for any future variants by knowing what save this one was upto (plus its called something different on my saves). I save so often due to losing loads of progress in the past with the undo / redo function or accidentally loading something else...
@SomeSPGuyWhoLikesLore Since i dont know what that is any resemblence will be purely coincidental. Correction, apparently i have it on my steam wishlist without me remembering what it was... oops, thanks for the reminder.
@Kangy nope, but this was based on the Canberra so I just found a town in Australia that was near to Canberra :) The last build hops up and down hence Kangaroo.
@ThomasRoderick Thanks =) Glad you are still here as well. Im still just plodding through some unfinished builds, not really building like i used to hence the times between posts.
@Type2volkswagen I don't, I was given two codes for FT UC stuff, one delays retract, one opens then shuts in the same motion, im not the creator of the FT codes and they are unfortunately like black magic to me.
@EternalDarkness Thanks again for the upvote, comment and spotlight, glad you liked the build, I had fun with it (even after moving the wings back and forwards numerous times... )
@Tang0five yeah cockpits are a pain, you end up spending hours and hundreds of parts on something most people don't use :) I'm OK with them from time to time but I enjoy the rest of the build so much more. I've got a couple of builds still in progress so I'm not retired yet.
@ThomasRoderick I understand your logic and I can appreciate how you could find this out of place without many allied features (the fin is an enlarged mustang fin and the tail plane is I think from a typhoon or similar - I built this so long ago I can't remember now). However, if you imagine that Germany has been overthrown, all its existing surviving airframes were divided out and tested by the allies (Eric Winkle Brown flew a lot of them back to England) it didn't seem that big a stretch of the imagination to think that some of the more promising parts of the planes could be adopted / replicated by British aircraft companies into new designs for the continued war in the Pacific. That was my logic anyway :)
@HariTheSnakk thanks 😊 glad you liked it. I played for ages with a ram jet feature but couldn't get it to work to my satisfaction, may be a later version with it 😀
@Mousewithamachinegun123 Thanks =) It works on my Samsung S10, just tried it. As soon as i add a camo scheme and a detailed cockpit the part count always spirals upwards.
@ThomasRoderick thanks for the reply, I have taken a few days to mull it over. It all boils down to what anti grav actually is. In its basic form I would imagine it is a system that increases the opposing force put upon an object by the force of gravity when an object is stationary. In this case it reduces the force of gravity somewhere in the region of 50-75% Now this is solely for static purposes. When an aircraft is moving the anti gravity device would have a hard time deciphering which force acting upon it is from gravity or centrifugal / centripetal or similar, thus the device when acting in a vehicle in motion acts to reduce the applied force but for simplicity it's called anti gravity.
As for your second message, my head hurts, no idea what that means / does.
@BogdanX Thanks Bogdan, yeah i agree with the wings, i need to build a better WW2 fighter wing - this one felt a bit bodged for the trailing edge especially and as you say I have used it before so its getting a bit old. The prop is scale - believe it or not, the initial Typhoon iib had a 3 bladed prop which they changed to 4 blades later on to reduce diameter (or so i understand) but i based this on a drawing of the iib. Flaps are linked to an airbrake inside which increases drag above the CofG thus adding a bit of pitch up and slowing the aircraft down as well - I agree though that on this build its not as noticable as maybe it should have been. I was struggling with the takeoff speed, as i wanted the vtol units to kick in at 90mph ish for landing i couldnt have it taking off at a lower speed, the pesky vtols dont like being set lower than this as it makes the plane "float" around on the ground and it ends up being impossible to land - essentially its a compromise but again, i could have spend a lot more time trying to tweak this a bit. THanks again for your feedback, nice to hear from you again.
@WinsWings Thanks =) first time i've won a competition for a long time. Thanks also for posting the results promptly. I look forward to the next competition.
@ThomasRoderick @WinsWings Thanks guys, i appreciate the comments and upvotes, glad you liked the build, it was really fun to put together for a change. In relation to the whole pusher concept, that was mainly a reflection of the SBD Type 300 layout which i was using as the basis of the design ( i assume that by moving the prop, hub etc rearward it can compensate for the long nose and allows the CofG to move further rearward), i appreciate that bailing out would be hazardous but in those days i think the concept of leaving the aircraft came second to everything else.
@HololiveFan @Kangy @KingOfTypos All the hard work to make the build and people are getting hung up on a symbol used on the fin... The colour scheme is based on authentic WWII BF109/FW190 schemes, this includes the swastika, hence it was included here for some authentic realism. I dont get the whole generational thing of having to destroy and remove history as it represented "bad things", it happened, the symbols, statues and monuments are a reminder that bad things happen and should not be repeated - this snowflake approach baffles me.
@ThomasRoderick Thanks =) It has a certain charm about it when you end up adding blisters and lumps to something that was once smooth and sleek. I contemplated adding turrets and the like as well but its not really big enough to warrant them. Glad you like it though, thanks again for the upvotes and comments.
@ThomasRoderick well I modelled a martin baker seat but didn't add the functionality as I ran out of patience with the build... but yes it should bang out up and out of the way of the intake/fin.
@RestlessGalaxies you are most welcome, enjoy it 😊

+1@SomeSPGuyWhoLikesLore I wish SP showed how many hours a build took, then the number of saves would make more sense :)

+1@TheTomatoLover thanks, you went way back to find this build though :)
+1@AshdenpawTG22 cool, must be radioactive paint.
+1@WinsWings I missed this completely, tag me on the next challenge please :)
+1@ReinMcDeer it's amazing the difference in load times etc isn't it. Pity though, I like my sub assemblies...
+1@spectre118 the rear section isn't wide enough for 2 fins, I did look at it though.
+1@ThomasRoderick @PriusCat @Tanglednebula19 thanks guys, always nice to get comments and upvotes.
+1@WinsWings yeah I liked this challenge, I also sometimes build 1/72 model aircraft (poorly but I enjoy it)

+1@asteroidbook345 Im glad someone else thought so, it is an MB5 in nature but once it turned into a jet it definately resembles a thin Attacker =)
+1@BiliBiliXMBGDS it has two, one on either wing. Putting the pitot on the nose wouldnt work on carriers due to increrased length etc.

+1@WinsWings I forgot that i hadnt built this as a successor to your challenge and posted it.... oops. I have asked Bacon to add it to your challenge
+1@WinsWings I've got a build lined up for this, just sorting the screenshots and article, will probably post it tomorrow if i get a chance =)

+1@V Im lost on anything like this, i manage to change the input of parts but creating formulas for anything are beyond me, thanks though.
+1@V ooo, I will give that a go thank you so much.
+1I like that, weird and wonderful is my style =)
+1@Dimkal thanks, glad to see you are still active as well, hopefully I can keep turning out the builds from time to time.
+1@FeatherWing was it ever decided.
+1@LegnaK did this happen?
