  • “Chinese Copy” 3.7 years ago

    Shares distinctive design elements first seen on American aircraft? Check.
    Likely incorporates elements taken or inspired from data stolen from the US? Check.
    Designed by a nation known for stealing designs from other countries? Check.
    It may not be a copy of an F-22, as, like you said, it varies from the Raptor in many respects. However it and many of it's fellow aircraft in the "PLA" were designed with the unwilling help of information and research done by other nations. So saying that it has "little American influence" is a bit of a stretch.

    @ZP if you know you know. Something like this kicked off the craziest series of SP dramas we've seen in a while

  • hi im a new player 3.7 years ago

    Welcome to SP! Be sure to read the rules

  • A/SF-01 B-Wing 3.7 years ago

    @Hellfire3627 9% throttle should be perfect for landing. That'll put you in a slow descent. Around 10% should be hover

  • XT-65 X-Wing 3.7 years ago

    @Darkrisese if you had payed attention, you would notice that the signature staggered wings of the T-70 are absent on this craft, being replaced with T-65 style wings. This craft is based off my T-70

  • F-102 Delta Dagger 3.7 years ago

    Very nice, definitely the best 102 on the site!

  • Anyone else having this bug with the designer? 3.7 years ago

    One of the more recent updates broke a lot of the older mods. That's a pretty old one if I'm remembering right

  • It's All... Gone 3.7 years ago

    @Gameboi15 Well, personally I find it helpful not to dwell on the past as much, as to not lead you to be depressed more. I lost an X-wing I was building for almost a month, and I was really angry and dissapointed, but after I just thought "well, there's nothing I can do about it now, it's gone", I felt better. So feel how you want, but don't dwell too much on what you had in the past

  • It's All... Gone 3.7 years ago

    Just because you lost some stuff now doesn't mean you should quit. Once you find a new project that you're passionate about, the desire to build will return

  • Where did all the comments go in Spicyninja's German Corsair? 3.7 years ago

    It's a shame really, reading all the arguments and fits people had was pretty entertaining, and that's coming from someone who hated the "joke" of it being literally perfect

  • McDonnell-Douglas A-12 3.7 years ago

    Absolutely brilliant! The paint scheme alone is perfectly done, and all the systems are amazing, she's a joy to fly! Definitely my new favorite carrier aircraft

  • External Graphics Card: Experiences? How fiddly are they? Any bad experiences while using them? 3.7 years ago

    Been looking into the same thing myself. My Nitro 5 should barely be able to run MSFS, but if I get an external graphics card, as well as more RAM, it should be better

  • A/SF-01 B-Wing 3.7 years ago

    @YanTingChen thanks! It flies because the only part of the craft that has weight or drag is the cockpit pod

  • A/SF-01 B-Wing 3.7 years ago

    @Darjeelings183 @BoiBoicleetus69 thanks!

  • A/SF-01 B-Wing 3.7 years ago

    @Brendorkus very true

  • A/SF-01 B-Wing 3.7 years ago

    @OC3LOT1142 @LastManStanding thanks!
    @ChrisPy it definitely was at at times

  • A/SF-01 B-Wing 3.7 years ago

    @asteroidbook345 lol yeah it is pretty funny how trekkies have their photon torpedoes and star wars has its proton torpedoes, and thanks, glad you like it!

  • A/SF-01 B-Wing 3.7 years ago

    @Gluck thanks!

  • A/SF-01 B-Wing 3.7 years ago

    @Mattangi2 here's my final entry
    @EternalDarkness can you make this a successor to this challenge?

  • ***APPARENTLY WERE ALL DISGUSTING*** 3.7 years ago

    yeah we're all pretty nasty aren't we?

  • Subassembly set to 0 Weight and 0 Drag affecting flight performance? 3.7 years ago

    @asteroidbook345 @jamesPLANESii hmm, odd, since the entire subassembly rotates on a rotator, I tried simply attaching it via a fuselage, and removing the rotator, however autoroll is still present for some reason...

  • 1970s-1980s Sci-Fi Challenge 3.7 years ago

    @Mattangi2 ran into an unknown snag, should have my last entry up tomorrow hopefully. Just want to keep you posted so you don't have to extend the deadline any further

  • Boeing 314 Clipper (Full Interior) 3.7 years ago

    Definitely the best Clipper on the site!

  • Presentation problems 3.7 years ago

    Get the DesignerSuite mod, open your desired screenshot in the screenshot menu, and set that view when you go to take screenshots

  • Piper Swift 3.7 years ago

    Excellent work! I love how clean this looks, and the cockpit is perfect

  • Pending Projects before my "retirement" 3.7 years ago

    That Clipper looks amazing!

  • How do you get featured? 3.7 years ago

    @Brendorkus aah, in that case, getting featured is much rarer. I believe it's mods who do that, based upon what they think deserves it

  • How do you get featured? 3.7 years ago

    your benson post has been spotlighted twice...

  • Republic F-12 "Rainbow" 3.7 years ago

    Actually just found out about this aircraft and its interesting history earlier today, glad to see one in SP!
    BTW your outer right engine is is broken, doesn't throttle up with the rest

  • He’s gone 3.7 years ago

    He may have been a controversial figure for some, but he was an amazing builder, and was often eager to help people who had questions. I feel like his "ego" is due to his personal high standards, standards he sometimes unrealistically expected other people on the site to adhere to. However his builds inspired me to hone my skills, and we'll always remember him and his amazing creations. RIP BogdanX

  • 1970s-1980s Sci-Fi Challenge 3.7 years ago

    @Mattangi2 lol I just thought that since you already pushed it back, you might be wanting to finish it up and start rating the entries, but yeah I should only need a day to finish it up

  • 1970s-1980s Sci-Fi Challenge 3.7 years ago

    @Mattangi2 my B-wing might be up tonight sometime, but most likely I'll get it finished by tomorrow. Despite that being past the (already pushed back) deadline, is that ok?

  • Supermarine Spitfire MkVb 3.7 years ago

    The best Spit in the game, hands down! I assume there's some Reshade in the screenshots, how'd you get that installed for SP? I've tried several times but it never seems to work

  • Tieren ground type (MSJ-06II-A) version3.0 3.7 years ago

    Impressive! Despite not being a fan of anime, I had a lot of fun with this!

  • How can i unlist a post? 3.7 years ago

    click the "visibility" button under the "account" one when you're sharing the aircraft. I don't believe you can unlist a post after you've shared it

  • Aeritalia F-104S-ASA Starfighter 3.7 years ago

    @asteroidbook345 true, that and the NASA one

  • Aeritalia F-104S-ASA Starfighter 3.7 years ago

    @asteroidbook345 idk about that, accurate shape, full interior cockpit, accurate LG, good flight model, seems to be the best to me, or at least my favorite lol. Although it doesn't have the USAF scheme, which is the superior paint job

  • FS-122 Stormfighter 3.7 years ago

    those are some comically oversized guns
    I love it!

  • [Closed Giveaway] 3.7 years ago

    this is a comment, right?

  • Aeritalia F-104S-ASA Starfighter 3.7 years ago

    alright, I've finally found it, the best F-104

  • I don't understand 3.7 years ago

    @asteroidbook345 exactly, that's where the "in the right situations" part comes into play. If it's a cultural festival in the US, and other Japanese people are wearing traditional dress, then sure, but I also wouldn't just walk around like that. But yeah, if you're in Japan, that should be fine, embracing the tradition of your host nation, like you said

  • I don't understand 3.7 years ago

    @asteroidbook345 and even with that, it should be perfectly fine to respectfully (and in the right situations) dress in Japanese clothing, even if you're not Japanese. It's when people act like they are Japanese because of that, that it becomes a problem

  • I don't understand 3.7 years ago

    Here's my 2 cents on "weebs". Appreciating Japanese culture is perfectly fine, it's a very interesting one. Weebs, however, are people that take it way too far, and take it into cringy/disrespectful areas. In reality, many people who just like Japanese culture get labeled as weebs, when they aren't
