Also, a tail-heavy aircraft would threaten to flip over and stall, not bury it's nose into the ground; the reason why it refused to take off is because of the disproportionately short nose gear... and it's a darn miracle that it didn't collapse under the immense power of the Merlin.

The sluggish yaw control on takeoff is likely due to the lack of propwash.

A small nation with a tiny carrier (that pushes 25kn tops) fending off an enemy for four years? Either they got copious amount of foreign aid or Lochiwa isn't that much larger than Nekoshima.
... and which species is Lochiwa again? Using real-life biology as reference, both rodents and avians would have some serious amount of grudge against cats while both canids (esp. those of the canis genus) and avians (large birds of prey) are known to prey on cats, so...

@BoredDeffy
IIRC in most works involving cat-humanoids the presence - or lack thereof - of their human ears are rather Schrödinger-y, aka hidden behind their hair and tend to remain a mystery untill someone/something proves either to be true.

@BoredDeffy
Oh, oops, duly noted.

@Rob119 I mean, if two toothpicks are used to hold food between them without puncturing the food, they're chopsticks, and if a pair of chopsticks is used to hold the food by puncturing the food they make a fork.
I'm from a chopstick-using culture as well, but my family had been using them to stir drinks (and to pour liquids) along with their intended role since, well, forever. As the saying goes, "if it can only be used as intended, it's defective", afterall.
@JessaLeih Yet for combustion engines the added engines simply create more complexity and decreases the P/W ratio; electric engines are lightweight and simple in construction but IIRC don't scale nearly as nicely as piston/turbine engines do.
Electric aircraft? Yes. Traditional combustion-powered aircraft? Most definitely not. IIRC the improved efficiency came from the massive total propeller area... as well as the fact that limiting the prop blades to three or less meant props aren't travelling behind each other's wake nearly as much.
I'm not sure if you can add back custom variables via this method, though.
Yes. Near the top of the xml file the first section there's a <Variables> </Variables> section, in which the format goes as follows:
<Variables>
<Setter variable="VariableName1" function="VariableFunction1" priority="0" />
<Setter variable="VariableName2" function="VariableFunction2" priority="0" />
... etc
<Setter variable="LastVariableName" function="LastVariableFunction" priority="0" />
</Variables>
.
.
Just copy the <Setter variable="... /> parts and you should be all set. Do remember that the variable setter hates any undefined inputs with a passion, so do make sure all parts of the function use inputs that either show up in the variable setter, are vanilla inputs, are outputs from other parts, or are defined by cockpit controls.
@griges
The input should be " inverselerp(110,80,IAS) /180 ", and the Current Angle should be " flap ".
Setting the input on the actual flaps to " flap/180 " (instead of dividing the rotator input by 180) would also work, yes, but it'd be more of a hassle, costs more time to set up and more performance to run, and adds another possible point for failure.
@LunarEclipseSP Given it's based on the Mi-24 platform, I'd assume it can still perform the role of an "aerial IFV" designed to support its passengers once they disembark... or to help create landing zones for S&R or medivac.
@blt Oh, you meant starting procedures... and here I thought @MisterT had it down a while before this one, and some PlaneFlightX guy was building a modern jetliner down to the last detail, but yeah... as far as "performance efficient plane with startup" goes this one is probably one of the earliest ones... if not still the only one to-date.
.
..
... Edit: apparently there's a forum post dedicated to planes with startup procedures, but as far as planes with less than 500 parts go this seems to be one of the very few.
....
.....
...... note to self: include starting procedures in my own builds.... and see if it's possible to make one that actually distinguishes between airspawn and groundspawn (airspawn = start in the air so logically the starting procedures had already been finished some nondescript amount of time ago, groundspawn = start on the ground so startup's necessary, or even a hybrid system where landing and shutting down means going through startup again)....

@PrussianAirWorks Some early jets do actually resemble propeller fighters, case in point: the Yak-15 plus Yak-17 and Yak-23 that descended from the Yak-3, the La-152 and La-160 that superficially resembles both the aforementioned Yak-15 family and piston-powered Lavochkins, the Ambrosini/Aerfer Sagittario and Aerfer Ariete that ultimately descended from the Ambrosini S.7, the Saab 21R that was literally a re-engined Saab 21, and even arguably the F-86D/K/L Sabredog that shared a few visual cues with its distant ancestor the P-51D/K Mustang.
