@Verdnan would we? I figured it would work just like the current buoyancy slider for fuselage sections - just have a little button for "Buoyancy: Air/Water" or something. That being said, I'm not a dev, so I have absolutely no idea how difficult it would be to make something like that.
Rather than reducing weight, it should probably provide buoyancy in air - that way it won't reduce your mass (so it won't improve acceleration, handling etc) but will still allow for lighter-than-air vehicles.
@BeastGaming0 so entries have to be planes that actually entered service in WWII? Because that leaves maybe three options max, four if you include the Me 163
@Meawk @thefish53 @PlaneSmith there's actually a reasonable number of options if you include stuff that never made it in to service. To list them:
Arado Ar 234
Bachem Ba 349 (the other rocket one)
Heinkel He 162
Heinkel He 280
Henschel Hs 132
Horten Ho 229
Junkers Ju 287
Messerschmitt Me 163 (the famous rocket one)
Messerschmitt Me 262 (of course)
Messerschmitt Me 328
Messerschmitt P.1101
@Danillio05 you'll be glad to knnow that someone has already done what looks like a pretty solid job: https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/UQV6qI/X-02-Wyvern
@Csisguy absolutely no idea, I just did the Valkyrie on a whim haha. I don't always play SP much, especially since uni has started up again for me. I'm considering doing this challenge, though: https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/O6mdBK/Drag-Challenge . What about you?
@Csisguy ahh I see. Honestly I don't think I'd be very good at that - I only post things very sporadically, I'm afraid. I'm not worried about getting popular or anything, I just like building planes and occasionally taking part in contests. Thank you again for your kind words, though, I'll be sure to look at any suggestions you have
Nice work! You should check out the Saab 21, it's more or less exactly this plane. Also, if you set the inner sections of the tailplane to semi-symmetric, and all four sections of the main wings to flat bottom, it flies pretty much level at ~300mph

@reallouchen9999 sweet!
@Delphinus thanks!
Hey, glad to see you're uploading stuff! I'll download this and check it out tomorrow. Also, was this meant to be an entry to a contest?

@domphilly thanks for the upvote!
@8012541 I'm seriously envious that your schoolwork involved playing SP haha
This is badass, nice work and brilliant concept
@Danillio05 you'll be glad to knnow that someone has already done what looks like a pretty solid job: https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/UQV6qI/X-02-Wyvern
@Csisguy hey, the only way to get better is practice! I promise you my first plane was absolute pish. Have fun!

@Csisguy what do you mean by a campaign? I'm very flattered, though!
@8012541 thank you! Also, curiosity is getting the better of me; why did you pick that number as your name?
@Csisguy here you go!
@BigCat cheers!
@Csisguy thank you! Do you mean the Nosferatu from Ace Combat? I think I could give that a shot
@LoganAerocraft haha thanks. I was just going for fastest with no regards to looks, so I'll take that score with pride
@Planeez are wheels included when counting the parts? If not, does it need to be able to take off from the runway/water/at all?
@Meawk best I could do without XML editing while still making sure it flew at least acceptably, I'm afraid. Cheers for the upvote though!

@Viper28 the looks are what drew me to it in the first place, I only discovered it thanks to the box art of an Airfix kit
@JShay yeah I love the look of downward-tilted stabilisers, I was determined to make it work one way or another haha. Thanks!
@Viper28, @AndrewGarrison thank you both!
@TheOwlAce much appreciated. It seems to be working now, with a new engine.
@Viper28 sweet!
@Cjredwards thanks for the rating, glad you liked it
@Viper28 thank you!
@RAF1 thank you! I only found out about it due to your challenge, so I'm glad you posted it.
@Verdnan Thanks! Yeah, that's something I'll keep working on as I learn more about the game
