impressive kite, like the wing dynamics - very nice touch. As cool as ejected casings are, I find they seem to defy gravity and drift around any old fashion and undermine the experience. Nice kite though!
Yeah your right, works fine on pc. High settings on iOS however and the whole tail section sinks! Why the bloomin hell does it do that now?! @QingyuZhou
This is a fantastic looking build. It can’t fly though as when you take off it just does back flips as there’s too much weight in the rear. I added a load of weight in the nose and it flew nicely.
Holly cow! Never really read into direct cycle , I always thought it was like something out of fallout 3. But yes, I agree it probably would spew radioactive particles far and wide! @TheFantasticTyphoon
I don’t know too much about it but I presume they would have used a pressurised water reactor type and generated steam to power turbines for power etc and would have been, by design a closed system. So I don’t think it would have created fallout as such for people on the ground, but if there’s not much shielding anything metallic on the aircraft would become rather irradiated. Nuclear power is an excellent source of power - it needs to be accident proof though and the waste is pain. Why we just don’t fire all our nuclear waste at the sun beats me. Forgive me, I’m off on a tangent :) @TheFantasticTyphoon
I know, it took that much shielding just to protect the crew it wasn’t ever going to be feasible. It works on boats/ships as weight isn’t an issue - you’re talking tons of various materials and methods (like putting diesels tanks in the way) just for them to be somewhat “safe” to be near. Even then it’s time limited exposure and you’d probably end up with gamma shine areas where it wouldn’t pay to have a cup of tea in..... Ruskies experimented also - they just wrapped one any/Minimal shielding so it could take off! @TheFantasticTyphoon
Very cool looking jet, I’d insert more wings to increase lift or disable drag in some parts as it fall like a brick when you kill the throttle. Neat looking build though!
Looks awesome - definitely got the 20-30s feel about it and a clever use of parts to achieve the engine detail. I’d probably have modded the power right down as at SL it’s quicker than most ww2 fighter aircraft. (I clocked 425mph straight and level) overall nice job though!
I do like the sea hawk, I built one many moons ago, great job with this one. There’s some slight discrepancies but for silver this is pretty darn good!
Bloomin’ marvellous! Making one of these myself and there’s no way I’ll get as good a cockpit (or build even!) Having stared at blueprints all night long this looks pretty bang on. The biff is an all time favourite of mine and it’s grand to see it replicated so well!
I’ve upvoted as it’s a First World War bomber which is refreshing. I’ve spotlighted for the 4K+ Parts audacity and ambition at re-creating that camo scheme, bloody good job!
Really appreciate you’re interest @RaendyLeBeau thank you! Some of these older builds don’t fly too great but I think that was indicative of the time - only so much could be done without nudge/xml back in the day. Bloomin heck, it used to be a right pain “convincing” parts to connect!
very cool and goes to show you dont need a million parts to make a pleasing build! Mind you it would look awesome with some iron crosses/unit insignia.
Food for thought - how the hell do my builds work on pc - that’s a scary thought if there’s such discrepancies with this! @QingyuZhou
+1Yeah I lived there for a couple of years in the late 90’s. As a kid I loved it! @ElectricVehicle

+1Looks cool, the nose reminds me of a Mk1 Blenheim.
Awesome build, dunno if anyone else is having trouble with this sitting on the water - I find on spawning the tail section just sinks too far
Superb, 346 parts - that’s my kind of build!
Super loco! Btw what’s happening in the 3rd screenshot :)

Why has there been no A-team builds?!?! Genius!

Outta spotlights, I will return!
+1Damn fine looking specimen!
You sir, are going to be a legend!
Honestly the best and most fun looking thing I’ve downloaded in a long time! Shame it’s not been featured!
Damn fine effort!

Some may say 12th century cogs are a niche market, I say there isn’t enough of them! Good subject material and cracking build.

+1Fantastic job!
+1I like it, I’m sure the tank crews who faced tigers in it didn’t. God save the queen!
+1Sorry, had to stand rigidly at attention when I saw this post!
+1It’s all good, @FuriousDream I was just saying this was very good!

Ship shape and Bristol fashion!

Does your pc not struggle with these size builds? Awesome ship once again by the way!
+1This really is awesome, definitely will be spotlighting as soon as this silly cool down period had ended!

Neat build, roundels are all wrong though.
Afraid not, and no bother! Liking your recent work. @Vuki11
You’ve returned to sp in a big way, nice work!
This really looks awesome, neat idea for the tracks too!
Looks beautiful, consider yourself followed!
