i just think its funny..i see people try to tear up peoples stealth planes all the time talking abt rcs and angles... its a GAME! if you want your tractor to be stealth then go for it!! i just think its funny is all....:-D @AviownCorp
Do you ever run out of cool ideas??? LOL! You know brains like yours do well in the Defense Industry...They may lock you in a DUMB though....Thats a acronym for Deep Underground Military Base....Keep up the awesome work FG!
does anyone remember the blocky straight edged F117 Nighthawk??? It ruled the skies of desert storm....Stealth is not just about shape as the F117 clearly showed...Coatings and Materials....Plus this is still a game right ??? lol

TY! took a very long time to get the engines right, it can be better now that i know how to mod a little bit. if i do a new version ill tag you. @AceOfSpade
MAN! you are like a treasure chest of good ideas!!! im going to try this out real quick ill let you know what i think shortly but it looks very fun and very cool!
Yes......it was a oversight on my part...you see the scaled down circular engine in the middle? It was previously modded to activate with AG-1, i forgot to change it but you can change the input to throttle or whatever you wish. My intent was to change them to VTOL so the engines would still have enough thrust for air maneuvers without having to use a afterburner.... because its nudged in around a lot of parts you have to zoom in to highlight the engine so you can change it. Hope this helps!

ahhhh... you failed to pick up on the sarcasm...if you took the time to read what was written correctly you would notice that the theme is “ dont worry about it just enjoy yourselft and have fun “. next time, before you blindly aid someone take the time to understand the comments correctly. Also, a forum post is not “private”. A forum post is essentially a post that is made so that all parties that have access to said forum can read and comment on said post. So again, before blindly writing jibberish take the time to understand what is actually being communicated in the forum post. @Kazin
i would def take 10 old camrys, gives you a large pool of vehicles to take parts from if needed down the road and they are historically very reliable. @TheDepressedPig
I have a feeling Kaos has a main account that we all prob know. He is too knowledgable to lurk in the shadows with no posts.... just my humble opinion lol

i kinda agree with deadly below, upvotes are great but if you really pay attention a LOT of poor builds get lots of upvotes all the time. the entire upvote system is really messed up. upvotes have become a popularity contest rather than build quality and unique characteristics. look at some of awesomers builds.. gets huge amounts of votes for builds that dont justify them. ( just using him as a example because he openly admits things about his builds )
you got a lot of attention with this from a lot of people and you disappeared. remember, almost half of your rating came from this and you didnt fulfill the challenge. @BeefyBoy4516
can i make a suggestion jacob? ive noticed challenges get more attention when the rewards are better. maybe offer 15 upvotes to winner, 10 to 2nd, 5 to 3rd etc...
there was a video of theirs that went viral because their rocket seemed to hit “the dome”. they came out to address the issue and explained what really happened. they use some sort of counter weight that causes that abrupt stop like it hits a invisible wall. nasa would never do that they just leave the speculation alone like the astronauts all wearing a shoulder harness under their clothes when theyre doing the live feeds LOL @JohnnyBoythePilot
NASA is well known for being the black hole of projects. i have a theory that some of these projects over the years are actually just “fronts” for other budgeting purposes. What other defense type contractors could continue getting contracts that go way over budget with little results? with all the $ nasa has been given we dont even have the best telescopes. i recently read that the vatican actually has the most advanced telescope on the planet called “lucifer”. Nasa is still living off the apollo missions fame in my opinion
i read that the LWFP , the program that GD won with their F16 was a politcal choice. everything ive read said the YF17 performed better. it eventually became the F18 anyways @JohnnyBoythePilot
the 23 was unable to complete the weapons testing that the program required. theres a lot more reasons than just making a choice they actually have to pass certain tests or face elimination. boeing tried to beat lockheed for the jsf program, boeing hadnt made a fighter in over 60 years and they didnt have the knowledge that lockheed had in the industry and it showed with all of their poor decisions with everything from coatings, wings to engine choices. theres a great documentary on youtube called the battle of x planes that showcases this in detail. i personally think the 23 wouldve been a better choice but they werent able to showcase a complete aircraft, same with the x-32, boeing made a lot of “promised” changes to the plane that they couldnt showcase during testing @ForeverPie
welcome back!
Drone Challenge if you are interested. This is really nice.

+1TY buddy! sorry i havent been on much lately, i need to get caught up on my favorite weapon builder @EliteArsenals24
tell you what, ill look at that 747 phantom test plane and build something new for you. is there a time frame for needing this ? @JohnnyBoythePilot
if you prefer the gs-1 type of plane i can update it also. it was a early build of mine and could use some modifying.@JohnnyBoythePilot
