@SHCow I typically don't powermod engines. Usually the only things I mod are sizes and precise rotations of parts. And weapon characteristics (such as the 20mm autocannon on my Lightning, or the GAU-8 I made)
@poenix Oh, you're factoring in dives? I would have thought you were judging level flight only. In that case, my Magenta Maximum could break 770 in a dive from 40,000 feet.
Anyway the solution is 486 pallets. 27 pallet positions carry 10 pallets, and 9 pallet positions carry 20. A ten-pallet pallet weighs 3311 pounds (11 pallets + top net, straps, and dunnage). A twenty-pallet pallet weighs 6355 pounds (21 pallets + full net set, and dunnage. Together you get a total of 146,592 pounds. Theoretically, you COULD put 496 pallets on, but that brings you to 149,636 pounds. But, when you account for all the extra things that typically ride on the cargo floor along with the cargo on a typical flight, it would simply be too much. @KCferrari Came the closest, so I guess he wins! I'm going to bed.
@KCferrari VERY close, but a little high. Did you account for the weight of the nets required to secure each pallet, and the three-point dunnage between every stack of 10 and the pallet underneath it?
@CL4TRP It can be solved with math. And a little extra knowledge.
When pallets are transported en masse, they are stacked up to 20 high in groups of 10 separated by three-point dunnage and secured with the standard 463L net set. (or in special containers, but those aren't part of this question).
The trick to the question here is that if every pallet were loaded with 20 pallets, the plane would be over its ACL, so only a certain number of pallets are stacked to 20, the rest are stacked to 10.
coop was kinda high-profile, and a super nice guy. people are just a little sad to see him go. he also had hundreds of planes that are now gone, and he did tons of collaborative work with lots of different users.
This is so sad. I really loved that guy. He was so friendly, dedicated, and loved to compliment others. I was rooting for him to become number one. The fact that others felt they needed to pull him down and insult him is shameful.
Lockheed P-38L Lightning
Promising upstart. I look forward to seeing more of your creations!

@SHCow Just rip off ALL the cockpits. Then you can drag the rest as one piece.
@TheNightmare Thanks! The key is nozzle and RCN placement.
@SHCow I wonder if there's an XML string that modifies fuel drain-rate.
@SHCow That's all modded though. I'd like more powerful stock parts.
I'll stay forever.
Never burn down your house when you take a vacation.
@BaconEggs I've suggested the addition of a ramjet engine before. I would really like to see one.
@BogdanX Doesn't the F-117 use a specially-designed ruddervator?
@SHCow It takes a steady hand, and a good spacial awareness of motion. But most of all, it takes practice.
@TheNightmare @SHCow Thanks!
Ohio-class
@archerabc The amount of detail is incredible though. Very meticulous.
1050 parts
RIP mobile users
@IndianaBones Thanks
Entry uploaded!
@Johndfg @KnightOfAraluen I like this idea as well.
@KCferrari lol You're right there. But the loadmaster would probably have stopped you eventually. Loadmasters are a picky bunch.

Massive!

@Fedorka Alright, good luck. If you ever need any input on the design, I know lots and lots of information about the P-38.
@jamesPLANESii Nope. The real answer is much higher. Pallets can be stacked onto pallets for transport.
Nice work.
The shape is pretty close.
Flight needs work though.
@PINK lol

@CL4TRP The 463L master pallet. The backbone of the US's (and other countries') aerial military cargo transportation.
@Gestour Wrong. Pallets can indeed be transported on other pallets.
@CL4TRP What?
Don't let a playerbase get you down.
Be like water. Flow with the contours of the Earth.
Also, it could be much, much worse. (trust me)
@CL4TRP Okay. I'll keep it to myself.
Puns ≠ Jokes
What about uploading a plane you personally asked him to build?
Because I have one of those.
I know him already. He upvotes a lot of my planes, so I think he might be following me(?). I upvote his things pretty often.
coop was kinda high-profile, and a super nice guy. people are just a little sad to see him go. he also had hundreds of planes that are now gone, and he did tons of collaborative work with lots of different users.
@Ihatelava123 Cool! Glad you like it.
Is it even possible?
I tried several designs, but nothing could break 767.
This was my best attempt though.
This is so sad. I really loved that guy. He was so friendly, dedicated, and loved to compliment others. I was rooting for him to become number one. The fact that others felt they needed to pull him down and insult him is shameful.
@SimpleJack Yeah, that'll do it. I prefer faster rolls though. I like not having to push the controls to the stops.
@SimpleJack I played with the connections and nudged everything together to pretty it up, so maybe that did it.
Mysteriously, this version has fewer drag points. How even?
@SimpleJack @SHCow Thanks.
Thanks for the improvement @SimpleJack !
@TTHHSSSS Thanks. Glad you like it!

@SimpleJack Brilliant improvement. I will definitely work the mechanism into my version. Thanks.
@SimpleJack Thanks!
@Phaz3Shift Nice job!
Very impressive.
Interesting variation. It performs well.
