@dogooman1 Perhaps you should move the floats forward or redesign the floats so that there is less buoyant area at the rear of the aircraft (too much buoyant area at the rear of an amphibious aircraft prevents it from taking off).
@dogooman1 I should also point out that it's a common misconception that "flaps" are any control surface on an aircraft. They are, however, their own independent type of control.
@dogooman1 Ailerons control Roll, Elevators control Pitch.
Flaps are their own type of control; they increase the aircraft's lift and decrease the aircraft's stall speed, as well as acting as airbrakes.
@Hiimakeplanes Builds like that tend to have many parts and/or complex systems. The amount of time it takes to design and code, coupled with being busy with school/work generally means that those projects will inevitably take a while to be completed.

It was mostly peaceful. The outliers would be the missile-armed 747 flying through the canyons and later launching a barrage of missiles in our direction.
@V I'm having a small issue with the maxVelocityAdjustmentRate attribute for the Cleaver missile.
Whenever I try to put it into the missile, it doesn't save into the XML file.
Is the formatting incorrect, or is there something I'm missing?
@JesusChrist The best solution I could come up with was to make twin vertical stabilizers instead of a single stabilizer centered in the middle of the aircraft.
@JesusChrist I find it strange that it only seems to affect the stabilizer tip and hinge rotator for the rudder, but not any other part.
Perhaps it's size related.
@JesusChrist Well, flipping the part does not work.
This is strange, since I have never had this issue before (that I can remember) despite using the same building method.
If you only want one rotor and no other jet or propeller engines, you can angle the main rotor forward a few degrees.
This will allow the helicopter to fly a bit faster.
If you have two rotors rotating in opposition directions, it will eliminate the need for a tail rotor.
This will allow for another form of propulsion (such as a pusher-propeller).
@L3FTxR1GHT It's ok, but I would recommend that you check to see if a concept is original before claiming it to be original (otherwise, you'll most likely have to face unhappy community members).
If you do come up with a new concept, it's generally better to put a disclaimer saying that if someone wants to use your new concept on their published build then they should give credit to you in the description.
@L3FTxR1GHT This is a fairly old concept used many times before.
In fact, I posted a bomber that uses a modified cannon as a bomb dispenser 15 days ago.
I believe there is already a way to do something similar (if not the same) to your request. PlaneFlightX would know how to do this, so you might ask them.

@dogooman1 More lift will help you get off of the water easier.
@dogooman1 Ailerons control Roll, Elevators control Pitch.
Flaps are their own type of control; they increase the aircraft's lift and decrease the aircraft's stall speed, as well as acting as airbrakes.
In my experience, flaps tend to be really helpful in this scenario.
The server
121.175.55.190seems to be down.@Hiimakeplanes Regarding building tips, perhaps you should experiment with custom wings. They tend to look fairly decent on certain builds.
@Hiimakeplanes Builds like that tend to have many parts and/or complex systems. The amount of time it takes to design and code, coupled with being busy with school/work generally means that those projects will inevitably take a while to be completed.
@Hiimakeplanes That being said, custom screenshots do tend to attract better publicity.
@Hiimakeplanes You will need to naturally improve your skills. Give it time, and the better your builds become, the more attention they will get.

@TheGliderGuy Thanks!
Just another day of SPMP.
@DISHWASHER2005 This will be interesting...
@MrSilverWolf Thanks!
It was mostly peaceful. The outliers would be the missile-armed 747 flying through the canyons and later launching a barrage of missiles in our direction.
That can be easily fixed by simply going to the main menu screen, opening the settings menu, and pressing the
Restore Stock Craftbutton.@MAPA Thanks! It's definitely my best sailplane to date.

Very nice!
I'm also currently working on a sailplane. It should be ready by tomorrow.

@PlaneFlightX Oh wow.
That's very interesting.

@JesusChrist I find it strange that it only seems to affect the stabilizer tip and hinge rotator for the rudder, but not any other part.

@JesusChrist I did, in fact, reconnect the part (more than once).
I submitted a bug report, so perhaps I'll get an answer to the issue.
@JesusChrist I also just found out that the hinge rotator for the rudder has the same issue.
@JesusChrist Well, flipping the part does not work.

@JesusChrist It does use a

Not that this is a bad idea (it's actually incredibly useful), it's just not a new one.

Patented?
Activate1=1 ? Throttle : 0This should work, but you may need to edit input values if you would like a different engine input.
