@EternalDarkness Yeah I know, I have dabbled in the dark arts of XML editing on previous aircraft but on this one, I wanted to have higher drag since WW1 aircraft were a jumble of struts and wiring. Take the Gotha WD 14, for example: https://preview.redd.it/gotha-wd-14-possibly-summer-1918-judging-by-the-naked-state-v0-4cn7jfpxb99e1.png?width=1080&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=2d99ae95858a2c93540ed3a8ec706fc7165ccf2b . I did reduce drag on some parts like the wings I think and the cowling just to get that takeoff performance on par with a Morane Type L but I quite enjoy battling with an underpowered brick of an aircraft which almost refuses to climb. It's fun and I can only hope to achieve something similar to this in real life once I obtain a pilot's license.
Thanks for the advice though man! It will all be taken into account in V.2!
@EternalDarkness The terrible flight characteristics are intentional, designed to replicated that of most early WWI planes and the slow-firing MG is designed to feel somewhat like a Lewis gun. I totally agree with you about the wingtips, it was part of the plan but slipped my mind. I'm trying to stick to a believable amount of power and drag coefficient and already I feel that 123 HP is a bit too much for an engine weighing 270 lbs but it wouldn't lift off right unless I had that much power due to the drag from the radial and the struts.
Thanks for the encouragement and the upvote too! I'll make a V.2 at some point maybe.
@DeeganWithABazooka awesome
This still open?
There are an awful lot of heavy bombers that have been entered into this "AIR TO GROUND ATTACKER CHALLENGE"...
I made something but it is 309 parts. Is it okay to enter it?
nice mechanism

+1@SSTOJointAccount indeed
@Mitterbin XD
+1When do we get results?
+1perfect
sounds cool
Count me in!
@Technicalstrat yeah we both cooked
+1@Mitterbin Indeed
+1@SirDino4t7 just like his father
+1@PeralaandskaVIAM1985 yesssssss

@SleepyKitty Thanks for the spotlight!
This post would have you believe they are @SleepyKitty ...
I suppose then that this must be true!
Looks awesome
+1@Mitterbin Thanks bro! And yes I'd love to be tagged in your next post
+1@Mitterbin oh I'm sorry. I'd run on low or medium physics then if I were you
+1AMAZING! THE WINGS ARE EXACTLY WHAT WE'VE BEEN NEEDING HERE FOR SO LONG!
@Mitterbin cool thanks
+2Is this still open?
+1Insane livery. Well done!
You should make it a custom wing since that is the defining feature of this aircraft. Add the flaps, slats and those sexy hoerner wingtips.
+1Cockpit cam always
Comically laggy! Looks beautiful though!

+1Time to use my swordfish!
Where is @TheMouse ?
+1📌
+1@Mal0ne XD
Can it shoot it's own prop off?
Looks really cool

Awesome plane keep it up
Thank you @Sockdragger ! I think I will, I don't know why I made that tail so tall...
:)
@TheGliderGuy very varied though
@TheGliderGuy nah you got great taste though!
@TheGliderGuy you are awesome
nobody knows
Can't believe this got more upvotes than maxwell the cat lol
+1Coolio
A beautiful interior especially in the undeveloped simpleplanes you had back then.
This is insane
554kg? bro needs to lose some weight lol
