@PlanesOfOld - I think the important thing to understand is that not everything created makes it into a game. They have a tricky job of keeping the game real and accessible to those with mobile devices. Extra items are fun, but not if they don't work on your phone. I'm so impressed that they care about their users and are trying hard to fix the issues with the upgrade to Unity 5. This is a really big deal and was a huge amount of work. They sacrificed lots of family time for this game and us users.
@PlanesOfOld - let me see what I can do for you on the engines. As for new stuff, I've seen some of it, and you are going to flip out. I can't discuss it, but I've seen this plane exit out of a hanger and land on a different island. Very cool stuff coming.
@PlanesOfOld - I forgot to add, just use my VTOL engine for your rotating props. Should I make more props for people? I don't know, since I know Kevin Murphy (WeeBabySeamus) is coming out with new props. Walrus props will maybe be a thing of the past ;-)
@PlanesOfOld - What I did is quite easy. First off, I set the VTOL engine to have 0.1% power. That is enough to spin the props and not affect the handling or show that nasty flame as the props spin. On the props I basically modded the block and two nozzles by moving them back into the airframe and engines. You can see the center prop spinning if you look into the window from the front. That way the props spin, but you don't have to worry about the flames or rotation getting in the way. I also pushed the rotater back in the same manner. You can see that as well from the window. The actual power is a prop engine, in the passenger compartment that is 20X power. Yes, you can make VTOL nozzles that turn the plane. You need to lock the position in the XML. So, low power VTOL and locked nozzles is possible. It is so much easier to do this on PC.
@Homersdonut @DailyCrash @Eric314 @Vikdesigns @carter2 @TheFreakyWatermelon @WeeBabySeamus @EglinAFB @planesnthings @corey1324 Thanks so much guys for the nice comments and support. Happy flying!
@PlanesOfOld - Yes, it is possible. Notice I've attached my German cross to the tops of the wings on this plane. You, or anyone can snag my wings and use them.
@jheffernan @Authros @Teus @TheLatentImage - Thanks for the comments and ratings. You know, I totally forgot to turn off that detacher that holds the vertical stabilizer. My bad :-(
@Kevpilot - Thanks for the rating. I'll think about the paratrooper version. It is a good idea.@Nightraider @Notapier @thealban @JMicah4 @ahappyape @Spikerya @IMDABEST @Authros @LordofLego Thanks guys for the kind ratings and comments.
Thanks a bunch guys! @JMicah4 @Johawks1976 @PlanesOfOld @JacobHardy64 @creeperdude1047 @hypnotoad @Nightraider @Geebers @ramjet @Authros @Notapier @corey1324 Yamato will only come if lag were not such an issue. I'm not sure if Unity 5 has the improvements to cover the lag issue.
@Nightraider - you made the request in the Amercian flag that was taken down, right? Can you add your request here so I don't lose it. It is really hard to follow all the requests. https://www.reddit.com/r/SimplePlanes/comments/3acdsn/modding_notes/?
You worked hard on this and did a nice job! Certainly you deserve five stars for effort. I tested it out in beta as well and things are acting strange. I was able to easily flip the boat in beta version II. I'd go to our SP subreddit and mention the difficulties your build has to the dev. That's what I've been doing. It does not guarantee your boat will work well in Unity 5, but at least they can look at the issues it has.
@KingDeadshot - Thanks for the kind rating good sir!
Forgot to thank the following folks: @Gg1234 @SpiritusRaptor @maverickvii @AlphaOneIndustries Thank you for kind ratings.
Nice addition!
@hypnotoad Thanks buddy!

Oh dear, I just read this I can't believe it. I am so sad. You where an awesome builder. :-(
This plane is featured in the Steam Green Light page!
Ha Ha love it when the game breaks because it cant handle the awesomeness. I some how find joy in that. :-)
@bjac0 Thats OK. It's still good to try, but thats your choice!
I'd like to see you build this out of wing panels. It's a challenge, but I'm sure you can do it.
It's a good build, but I know you can do much better.
@stampy - lol! No worries mate.
@TheSoundofLight - I'll let you fix this. I need to install Maya today for part modding.
I'll look at this and see what it needs.

A good, solid little jet. I flew underwater and came back up, then circled around and accidentally hit a ship. Much water... very fast... wow!
Do-335 - You can use my pusher props.
It was actually fun to see them take off from the ship. :-)
OK, that's pretty funny.
Great job buddy!
@WeeBabySeamus - Can you feature this? It is amazing!
Brilliant!
You are by far the most creative player on this game. I love your work!
For the simple inventedness (not a real word) of your design, I give you much stars.
We (Jr. and Sr.) think you have a brilliant design. Keep up the great work!

@Notapier - can you provide a link to what it looks like?
@PlanesOfOld - Do you need an old style cross? What about the one on my Red Baron?
This is pretty awesome!
Once you get off the ground it is fun to fly!

@Allstarship - Thank you sir!
@Matthew240 and @GravityGun913 Thanks for the ratings gents. I'm off to bed now. Cheers and good flying!
@blueangelproduction - very fancy! Much style! Wow!
Awesome!
@jimbojet thanks buddy!

@Notapier - can you add your request here do I don't lose it? How long do you want the nosecone (from the tip of the nose? Also, depth and width?

@creeperdude1047 - I build this on PC, but its seems to work on an ancient iPad mini with no glitches. I'll try it on beta now.
@creeperdude1047 - You get glitching? I've noticed that, but not on the version I uploaded. What platform are you running on?
@PlanesOfOld - probably not since the part count is too high.

@JMicah4 - sorry for the delay. I've been busy at work hiring new employees.
