No worries. You’ll need to look at the bit where it speaks gobldlygook about disablingaircraftcollisions and setting the corresponding tab to the opposite. Lower case true/false I can’t remember tbh. Im rather new to these antics myself. @SanderAircraftProductions
I certainly raised an eyebrow when I saw the ‘iOS’ on created on by. Good stuff. This is a nice biplane to start off with. I’d use the fine tuner and all the other mods built into the game to polish things up a bit. Roundels can be nudged into the wing to make the more flush with the wing.
Yeah this and the firecrest were pretty slick looking aircraft - shame they entered service too late to be of any real use in a time when even 1st/2nd generation jets had a mere few years of service until being outdated. @teodor99
As far as I can tell it is, however if you have an older device the blueprint button won’t appear. If someone wants to correct me if I’m wrong feel free! @Acethewolf25
Thanks again! From what I’ve read the general strength of the airframe let it down and the square windows (that were supposed to be glued and riveted, were only riveted) exacerbated the cracks. Punch rivets (as opposed to drilled) were also used which created an imperfect cut allowing fatigue cracks to form. Still, someone had to learn the hard way.

Another beautiful boat. I mean the Russian designs are mostly butt ugly - the beauty is in the detail and accuracy you deliver. You must have an addition of ‘janes fighting ships’ from the Cold War? I grew up (not in the Cold War mostly) reading Clancy novels. TC. Gone before his time.
I was more than hoping that his Saturn v was original hence why I spotlighted. I haven’t bothered to search all the Saturn vs for the original but if someone spent the time building something like that you’d talk about it in the description surely.... @Mustang51
You and me both, the vixens a beautiful bird! Oh no extensions necessary. I’ve made it my sp priority to take part, don’t think I’ve participated in a challenge for a long time! @Mustang51
A sea vixen. I think I’ve covered most FAA types of the 50s (big fan of the scimitar) and Ive done my homework on the vixen. First flew in 51, didn’t enter service till 59 (dang and blast). Still I’ve done the groundwork, it should be released at some point. Along with my brab that has seemingly stalled due to my mercury programme and and a precursor to the EF. The original firebrand I made was for a 20 part challenge and I’ve been itching to remedy that build for years. I just hope I can cobble something together before your deadline as I’ve been a little slow of late! @Mustang51
Damn and blast. I always assumed my build entered service in the late 40s. Turns out it wasn’t until the early 50s. Hmmm will have to think of something else. @Mustang51
Thank you very much! The tower was a little fiddly, the smoke effect was salvaged from a rocket powered build by MilesTPrower. As an iOS user I am incapable of mods. Mustang51
Really neat design, why are you still gold?!!
Right. Ok! @enzoBoeing757
Your last post. Just no. You’re better than that.
I don’t follow. But I’ll sadly watch as it racks up more than my latest..... @MrPorg137
Oh dear.....have you been hacked?!

Don’t you just love it when someone comments and can’t be arsed to support something...... welcome to the site, nice promising stuff!
Thank you, now where did I put my tri-jet entry...... 75% there abouts! @ACEPILOT109
Damn, out of spotlights. I must return......
Lovely job of a tiffy! I’d just edit the power of the prop using the new overload mod built in to the game to increase the speed.
Made on iOS - glad I’m not the only one!! Nice job!
No worries, why does that screenshot look so distorted?
Deservedly of much more I think. Must have been out if spotlights back then, parts count too high for my device alas.
How many engines? Props or jets?
Just as well maybe. I made one years ago but making it again for the tri-jet challenge. I wouldn’t want to saturate the market so to speak :) @MaxB17
Trident?
No problem, neat job! @Trainzo
Very cool design!
I think that’s some nice detailing on a custom radial especially the exhaust. Certainly more sophisticated than what I do.

Ashamedly I can’t recall. I was a kid when I read that, I think I shall read it again! @toxicgamer88
Bloomin’ heck that was fast thank you! @Armyguy1534
Mine just automatically updated. @Acethewolf25

Designer suite doesn’t work for older iOS devices. Talk about p*ing on the camp fire!

@Mustang51
I think this looks pretty graceful, you should enter it into the tri jet challange!
Yup, all those years ago! @Nick2007
Most definitely be entering, my early Trident needs a redux!!
Very apt first picture. Rather apt indeed!
Beautiful build of what was an ambitious project!
Great job!
Thank you @botto28 one day (when I get a better device) I will fix the short comings of this build.
Ha ha, brilliant!!

Yup, I like it!
This is magnificent! Ambitious in scale and functionality too - handles like a big bird ought to bravo!

I think you need to read the rules....

Thank you very much for spotlighting! @ACEPILOT109
Unfortunately not. I live too far away from all the good airfields and museum in the UK. @Mustang51

Ha ha! I have a replacement, a firebrand! I made one when I first started but it was terrible! @Mustang51
Damn and blast. I always assumed my build entered service in the late 40s. Turns out it wasn’t until the early 50s. Hmmm will have to think of something else. @Mustang51
Outstanding from a bronze level!
