@ThatKindaWeeb Hmmm... A lot of the way I build comes from how I used to build back then but I can offer a couple guidelines:
- I don't do canopy lines because A) laziness and B) I'm going for a simplistic look
- I use default wings for the same reason
- A trick for default wings is to resize it to 1,.5,.5 (or smaller) to get it more precise; just remember the game calculates its lift as if it were normal size, so don't resize too small or else you get too much lift
- If wings are EXTRA THICC, I use fuselage and angled default wings
- I used to use default landing gear but now I use custom
- I use blueprints and go for 1:1 scale, although I'm not focused on 100% correct dimensions
- I only use smoothing on "glass" and nosecones because 'i'm weird'
- I use default parts as details to save parts (i.e. my launch rails are resized pylons, I use default airbrakes sometimes)
- I put hidden airbrakes that use |Gforce| (|Pitch| on older planes) so they don't turn at 1000 km/h.
- Fuselage cones are your best friend (You can paint 2 colors and adjust size of color)
- If elevators are a weird shape, I use a custom control surface made of default wings (Most WW2 planes)
- For asymmetrical features (i.e. offset gun), I set drag and mass to 0 so the plane doesn't roll on its own (Not always perfect)
Protip: 1 SP fuselage unit = 2 meters
@NSNArcade2 To be fair, I made that before I started doing semi realistic turn rates on my jets. :p Plus, on the newer jets, I have airbrakes linked to pitch or G force, which is why I am barely getting past 600 km/h while turning in the video.
@GuyFolk Interesting... I guess that's why I get the best results when I drag him down to a lower altitude where I can do that trick.
Awesome job on the AI btw, I can tell you put a lot of consideration into making the fight difficult, but not impossible.
If he had MPBM's, I'd be dead 100% of the time. Although maybe you could balance them by having them set to a 3km minRange and a 10 second lockTime to give the player an incentive to stay close to Pixy or get MPBM sniped. (Granted, that would make BVR basically impossible, but I don't think thats what this boss is for)
@CaptainRex123 Not based on any game in particular, just the idea and general format of the briefing was the inspiration. I haven't played Over-G, but I've played Ace Combat.
Might want to turn up your brightness for this one
This is just a proof of concept of the flight recorder mod made by hpgbproductions. Overall, it made making this a whole lot easier, but it took some getting used to.
P.S. In case you're wondering, I intended AGS to stand for Andrew Garrison's Ship. And in my "SimplePlanes headcanon," the bombing mentioned in the briefing was referring to the Bomber Escort challenge. The rebel forces were a reference to the rebel spy mentioned in the Convoy Assault challenge.
@GeneralGeneraltheKenobi It doesnt go down sadly, I dont know if there is a way to do that. The FT you're seeing is the script that makes the landing gear wait for the doors to fold out before extending
@AzureCorp Yeah, that's probably gonna be the next project. Been distracted by WW2 stuff and War Thunder recently. As for the skin, aggressor is probably the way to go since most of the ones I find on Google are aggressors.
@WolfSpark I just made it able to cobra because of this. Also, I don't recall my F-15 being able to cobra? Granted, that was when I made my planes turn and accelerate WAY too fast.
@CavyNugget9000 banana bomb best bomb (yes)
Nice
You should make a MOD 1 version with the bronze Daniel Defense rail
@Hedero thats counting the cockpit :v
@FrostyYeti thats counting the cockpit off to the side
@PhantomAviator Cavendish bananas in particular (The typical banana you see in stores) may go extinct
@MetalManiac54 ah makes sense. I just used 7 because this particular specimen is about 7 inches. Bananas per second mod sounds cool btw
@Chrisk1993 tip to tip
@rexzion reject humanity
@Kipo Oh, technically there are no conventional bombs in any of these, but the Paveway IVs are guided bombs
@Kipo All the ones except alt.config.1 are fit for ground attack and there isnt necessarily a main one. It just depends on what weapons you want

Good luck!
@UltraLight huh. Didnt know that.
@KnightOfRen thanks a bunch!

I'm too lazy to count but it takes me 12.68 seconds to scroll to the bottom
@HawaiiRanger Sure, but I'm not sure if you'll be able to mark it as original content since I already verified my channel on this SP account :/
Try ripping off the control surfaces and adding a gyro

@CaptainRex123 Heard of it

@CaptainRex123 Very loosely, yes. :)
@ALRX Yeah, guess that's what I get for trying to make a cinematic out of the only night mission. :P

@AdmiralWheatman Wish granted.
@NSNArcade2 Yep!
@UltraLight carburetor go bye bye
@TheLurkingVexedVortex I've been seeing that used in a lot of plane cinematics, so I thought I'd give it a go. :v cough war thunder cough
A person who thoroughly enjoys, but knows nothing about cinematography: The video.
@Default4 Barely :v
@Embo me no like bugs, especially those ones
@tsampoy Thanks! I'm definitely going to be using custom gear more often
@Embo that's a nope from me
@AzureCorp Hm... It is about time I gave that plane a proper remake. :)
@Sovetskysoyus Eat meteor
@TurtlesThatFly @MajorSix thanks!
@UltraLight nice
@AWESOMENESS360 thanks!
MiG-52 Fishhound (Or foxbed idk)

@OfficialOfficialTheRyan flogger is temporary hellkeska is forever :)
@AzureCorp tbh I used to think floggers were ugly but after building it, I grew pretty fond of the design
@ChrisPy I have Flaming Cliffs 3
@ChrisPy I actually have DCS :D
