Take a section of what will be your cockpit base plate and make it a sub assembly. Create a new aircraft and scale the plate up 5x. Build all your dials and controls then scale back down and save as a sub assembly. Bring back into your aircraft. @BurkeEnterprise
@SimpleFlow - Yes, it loads well on the iPhone 7 but crashes when attempting to run. Not sure why; it is a new phone for me. I should point out that Andrew has an idea on his whiteboard to allow us to create a box in design time that would allow all parts in that box to have part collisions turned off. This should significantly reduce lag on massive builds.
Great job! I was considering making this beast and still may since it is a fun aircraft. Like any big build, the time commitment is the issue, and I know how much work goes into these planes. I'm sure you struggled with the thought as I do over part count. 99 percent of the time it alone holds me back from putting in more detail. Do you build what you want and cut out 70% of the players, or hold back and compromise your creativity? It is a difficult question, and certainly an element of the game. I, for one, wish I could run this on my iPhone 7, but it crashes. In spite of that, I celebrate your build.
@temporaryaccount - My first computer game was pong in the late 70's, and in the 1980's I used to load video games on a TRS-80 cassette tape. You had to rewind the tape and then fast forward to a specific count number before loading. The early Apple II computer I used had 4KB of RAM.
Overwhelmed with response! Thanks for all the feedback everyone, and thanks for the spotlight BaconAircraft. I think this is only our second spotlight received. Walrus Jr. had a hand in this, too. Mostly a critical eye on detail ideas and some testing. @bjac0 @temporaryaccount @Trainzo @BaconEggs
@ChiChiWerx - Thank you, Sir. I have not forgotten about a build we were thinking of doing. Assuming you are still feeling like working on an airship of some sort.
OK @CoolPeach - Please try this one. Thanks for spotting the silly error. I turned a wing piece by mistake and it locked the flap. I went back a version, but then found other issues so had to fix those, too. Thanks for spotting the mistake.
I have not tried your mortar or Phalanx missile yet, but I will. I enjoy your style and someday when you are ready I'd like to see your clever scripts. Did you write them in Perl? I'm a little slower building these days since I'm preoccupied with work. @SledDriver
I like your bomb cannon. I made one about 8 months ago for my flying air battleship Fuso. I got the idea from someone who made a cannon that took out the bridge on a different island. He got featured in a video, but I can't recall who it was. It was brilliant for the time. Anyway, it is nice to see your builds. Keep up the good work.
@KidKromosone @Blue0Bull - thank you!
OK, I’ll fix it today. @temporaryaccount
@ChiChiWerx - thank you, sir. And Happy Thanksgiving!
@RailfanEthan @MrSilverWolf @MrSilverWolf - Thanks guys!
@grizzlitn - Thanks grizzlitn.
It is quite a portly fellow. @MaximusTheMinimus
All that is missing is a clutch plate.
This took a serious amount of thought and time to build. How long did the differential take to create?
Wonderful build. Your lettering does make the plane stand out.
You created an outstanding creation here. I remember watching this TV show as a kid.
I really wish this was added to the game itself. I don't build with mods since I try to keep my creations open to everyone. Nice job!
Yeah, it broke in the update I guess. I’ll fix it. @Cerdon
Looks good sos boss
I love this build. Where do you find the time?
@Sarpanitu - I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'm a terrible pilot (Walrus Jr. is much better), but even I could do this.

@koryg - Austin
Old meme. http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/free-candy-van Very creepy btw.
No, I live in Texas, but I appreciate 🇷🇺 plane design. @koryg
That was Jr. I don’t like candy myself, even if they come from old internet memes. @F4f879
He's not dead!
Something from the Nightside
I want a candy
Yes, this plane is a death trap. I wouldn’t want to fly it. @temporaryaccount
Bravo! I don’t know where you find the time. Between a family, and job I barely have time to build. As always you do a great job on your aircraft.
Good job.
@Maxwell1 - Maybe in a little while. This was a fun challenge.
That's a brilliant script. What gave you the original idea to do this?
Welcome back sir
LOL! I like the user name change. Maybe it is time for me to use this in my aircraft to do some drops over the island.
@ACMECo1940 - I'm glad you spotted that.
This is a fantastic effort. Many kudos to you on this aircraft.

Thank you @Jackhammer312 !
That's very punny :-) @Othawne
@GhostHTX - I'm so sorry you dropped your phone in the toilet.
@GhostHTX - Yes, and come to think of it I was running on high settings. I suspect the iPhone 8 is much better.

@Othawne - Thank you, Othawne.
@temporaryaccount - Fortunately, you have several versions of this aircraft to choose from. I'm amazed how modern phones can handle these builds.
This really made me laugh. Good job, Sir.

Very impressive!
We should build something. Ping me on on of my builds. @Rohan
