    hah, I like that. It's funny that it was originally a prop plane and I slapped a jet engine on it. Seeing it as an actual prop plane makes me think it might be worth it to create a version of it like that

  • D-55 Hell-Hound II 4.5 years ago

    @HarrisCraft I got busy with school and never got back to building airplanes

  • D-55 Hell-Hound II 6.6 years ago

    @creedon
    I might make a post with my pilots at some point

  • D-55 Hell-Hound II 6.6 years ago

    @JohnnyBoythePilot
    Kinda. I had this idea in my head but realized it didn't make much sense with the airplane I was building, so I said "whatever" and did it anyway

  • M&S Ravager (Mumpsy & Showtime Colab) 6.6 years ago

    @Mumpsy Alright, I'm gonna get to work on it now

  • D-55 Hell-Hound II 6.6 years ago

    @Solarisaircraft
    Sure thing!

  • D-55 Hell-Hound II 6.6 years ago

    @Mumpsy
    You could design the airplane and I would do the cockpit i guess. So long as you left me some space in the body of the plane, it would be fine.

    @TheGuyYouMightKnow
    The pistons at the nose of the airplane. Check on them in the XML, you'll see that they're pretty heavy.

    @Thomasj041
    It's a problem I keep having with the chute. It's most likely because the pilot is realistically weighted and sized, but the chute was designed for aircraft. Carrying a 120 lbs girl to the ground is probably a few tons lighter than the loads it's meant to carry.

  • Republic P-47 Turbobolt (10K SPECIAL) 6.6 years ago

    Who can I thank for the recent surge in P-47s? Because it's made me a very happy camper.

  • D-55 Hell-Hound II 6.6 years ago

    @Mumpsy
    Thanks. I was wondering... Would you like to collaborate on a design?

  • Theres Only 2 things that will make my day. If you do this you will recieve an prize 6.6 years ago

    Why don't you make these challenges?
    (Btw, I am Coco)

  • AV-15 Bulldog 6.6 years ago

    @CALVIN232
    Yeah, cockpit view in the airplane should position you properly in the cockpit.

  • AV-15 Bulldog 6.6 years ago

    @CALVIN232
    You mean the over the shoulder view?

    If you want that, feel free to throw a camera in there.

    The hardest part was making sure my pilots were to scale. Fiona should be 5'7" tall.

  • AV-15 Bulldog 6.6 years ago

    @Weaverfish

    So, if you grab the little rod that's protruding slightly from the back of the seat (right behind the headrest) Fiona should pop right out of the cockpit. Multi-select her hips and butt and shift those away. You'll see small fuselage bits inside her. Those were longer originally when I connected my rotators to them. Be sure you connect the rotators to the main object before you connect them to the pegs, then connect the pegs to the main object. The problem you're having is an issue with the game's snap-to connection system, where the coordinates of the points where objects want to connect are too close together, so it tries to connect them to the wrong places. To fix this, you need to make sure only the thing you want connected is available, hence the mounting pegs.

  • micro CB radio 6.6 years ago

    I've used this in all of my cockpits so far. It's great!

  • AV-15 Bulldog 6.6 years ago

    @Weaverfish
    1 day to make the airplane, 1 day to make both pilots, 1 day to make the cockpit/canopy, 1 day to connect them all together (and another day to fix it all when I learned that I didn't remove collisions on every part of the eject pilot). Both pilots, the cockpit and the canopy make up half the parts in the airplane.

    As far as creating the pilots, it's especially difficult when they're small. There are mounting pegs hidden all over her body (same with Cpt Jobin) which allowed me to connect my rotators. I have mounting rods to attach the cockpit to the plane and the pilot to the cockpit. The pole on the armor plate behind her is the pilot mounting rod, the trim on the top of the nose (connected to the hood ornament) is the cockpit mounting. I might upload a full cast of my aircrew at some point.

  • AV-15 Bulldog 6.6 years ago

    @AdrianFlyingAce
    .... So that was actually an accident :D
    Originally her whole body was supposed to shake, but I ran into some "mounting" issues when connecting her to the cockpit lol. Decided to keep it.

  • AV-15 Bulldog 6.6 years ago

    @JackTheBestBoss
    Yes. I put the camera in the instrument panel to fill it out with interesting looking stuff. If I could have rigged up the rotators in her body to where one set was ragdoll and would activate with AG-4, I wouldn't have made two pilots. I wanted a limp body.

    @CRJ900Pilot
    P-47, Tempest, ME-162, Mig-3 (cockpit)

    Them dirty airplanes are real swingers. Nobody know's who's kid it is.

  • DC-5 Keebler 6.6 years ago

    I like it.

  • AV-15 Bulldog 6.6 years ago

    @CRJ900Pilot
    I like my planes HEFTY

  • AV 11 Sparrow II 6.6 years ago

    @Shadyslendie
    The triangular body shape is inspired by the 262. The wings and control surfaces are inspired by the P-51. The engine and layout are inspired by the Yak-15. It's a hybrid :D

  • Aier Model-19 6.7 years ago

    This looks great! I love the pre 1960's aircraft. They had so much charm, just like this one.

  • AV 11 Sparrow II 6.7 years ago

    @BaylorM
    That'd be cool. I like mustangs. All the pretty horses

  • AV 11 Sparrow II 6.7 years ago

    @Mox
    Makes the airplane more fun to fly.

  • AV 11 Sparrow II 6.7 years ago

    @CRJ900Pilot
    A mustang, an ME 262 and a Yak 15 spent the night together. 9 months later, this happened...

  • AV 11 Sparrow II 6.7 years ago

    @saturn28
    Just wait till you see the bomber I'm working on :D

  • Aiko's Flying Scooter 6.7 years ago

    @zap210
    Thanks!

  • Sky Wolf 6.7 years ago

    @AFS23
    I like that. It makes it look more like a racing aircraft spliced with a MiG-3.

  • Aiko's Flying Scooter 6.7 years ago

    @MAHADI
    Thanks. There were a lot of headaches making it.

  • AV-4 MK III Brigand 6.7 years ago

    @CRJ900Pilot It was partly inspired by that, but also the Komet and it might be part cruise missile too :D

  • McDonnell Douglas DC-10 6.7 years ago

    So for starters I wanna say I'm in love with your airplanes. They're awesome!

    Also, I was wondering if you would be opposed to me... borrowing the wings from this one? I really like them...

  • WM-11 Wayfarer 6.7 years ago

    @Planeengineer31625324
    Ah, like extending skids? I might be able to get that working provided it's not in the way of the bomb bays... Or maybe I'll remove the bombs and replace them with the skids. Thanks!

  • FiG-16 Falcrum 6.7 years ago

    Upvoted just for the name. Dat name, bruh.

  • WM-12 Pathfinder 6.7 years ago

    @Planeengineer31625324

  • WM-12 Pathfinder 6.7 years ago

    @Blue0Bull Really? That's awesome!
