I think it may have been a variant possibly. There was several dogfighting challenges around that time. I do remember the DF. i think it did pretty well.
@Rawhide
YW! this dune buggy is really cool, i dont know how old you are but it reminds me of something from madmax. Have you made a attack version yet?
@SimpleEric
Yes, I always try to download and test out prior to upvoting. Its very stable easy to control. I did notice one of the CM drops when opening the map to fly. I really like it though great Job!
@AviownCorp
absolutely beautiful! If you ever want any info on the F135 engine ( the actual engine used in the F35 ) I know a few of the P&W guys who work on base at the plant. Its amazing how huge just the lift fan is when you stand next to it, kinda like a huge car wheel :-D lol.... anyways great job as always this is amazing!!!
I love it! It is really responsive and handles like a champ! ill run it againts mine and see how it does but if i had to guess i would say it will wipe the floor with most of the other uploads. Ill update later...
the “conspiracy theory” world is not a kind one for either side. I have also been involved in a situation like yours that resulted in me completely abandoning my interest in that field. I discovered it doesnt matter how much either side really knows to be true or false....it all falls on personal beliefs and some just refuse to believe that things may not be what they appear to be regardless of the circumstance. I work with a retired marine that provided protection for marine 1, One day we were talking abt the lack of plane debris at the pentagon on 9/11 and he made the statement “ i wouldnt believe it even if you had proof that showed it wasnt a large passenger plane, they reported it was a american airlines plane and thats that”. So people will always believe what they want to believe regardless of facts because they want to believe in what makes them feel good... Dont let people get to you, you are a incredibly smart young man that already has a ton if knowledge to offer others. and remember some people are afraid of learning new things so as a defense mechanism they will attack and belittle you because they are afraid of your knowledge. keep up the good fight bud!
TY bud! This is actually the first build i used the color editor to get that nice reflective glass look, kinda like the 35 front diamond "thing" lol. thank you for all your guidance and help, you have made it a LOT easier learning how to edit XML.
@JohnnyBoythePilot
I wanted to show you a old build of mine Manta Ray it was a collab build, at the time it was probably one of the largest usable craft in the game. Not sure now but I want to make a updated version with some of the new building techniques ive learned. If you want to collab on the remake let me know i think it would be fun, you did a fantastic job here.
I couldnt find a good way to implement this into the drone challenge using the assigned weapons, they were a little big for the air frame and I was trying to have no external weapons... but I was wondering if you may be able to give a "off the books" grade for the drone challenge if you have the time please. Thank You very much if you are able to do so and also thank you doing the challenge it was quite fun! There are no weapons attached to this build...just fyi...
very nice looking plane, large planes are really difficult to build let alone look great like this, well done! One thing i found is when the rear cargo area is lifting the landing gear area pops off.
It looks like you found EliteArsenal, he makes incredible stuff. Looks like you made a fun plane here good job. EDIT If i may make a suggestion, add “TRIM” so its easier to adjust for level flight without always having to use pitch. Also, use modded structure wings so the wings dont flex so much. Download my “Dracon” plane, it uses normal size modded structure wings that allow for control surfaces.
btw, i think its time you upload something...lol.....i have a theory that this is a alt account of a high ranking user. The way you interact with users is like that of plat users with knowledge...@Kaos
I think I have to agree.....somehow LOL! I find them to be quite boring...anything I can buy a ticket for doesnt seem very fun....
@Stellarlabs
Can anyone even use this? I have a good pc and it runs extremely slow.....just curious
I AGREE! I have no clue how the 1st mention was even funny. Just plain stupid.
THIS is the latest variant of that body style. I think it flies much better. nothing great but it seems to do fairly well in dogfights.
@Rawhide
cool, the "X" series was also used as early test beds for the thrust vectoring engines i uploaded last month.
@Rawhide
TY for the upvote! I built this for a UFO challenge that was later deleted but it was based off the Texas Cube ufo sighting.

Hey Derek, heres a link to my Dracon which i built recently for Mikoyansters drone challenge. Thanks for offering to do this bud.
very nice looking plane, large planes are really difficult to build let alone look great like this, well done! One thing i found is when the rear cargo area is lifting the landing gear area pops off.
Nachos Rancheros!!! ( It will catch just give it time, before you know it people will be saying it instead of Sweet Beans )
nice
