There are a lot of pictures that get close enough though. That made it easier, so proportionally it's pretty good. It's about as accurate in shape as most reasonable replicas.
i really really want to take a bunch of these subassemblies.
1000 part engines
1000 part landing gear
1000 part cockpit.
and slap it all in the same aircraft.
we're gonna need a tutorial on how you panelled that. I can do 1d or even 2d panelling but there is panelling in the shape of pringles here and idk what to do with myself
honestly a hard one - the samson is a little like the black hawk which is a transport as opposed to a combat heli, but I would imagine that tech of the future might have more means of dealing with the Hind.
then again, the hind does have a manually aimed gimballing cannon - so i think the hind would win as it only has to turn the gun instead of the entire heli
I can tell you one possible reason - its the coordinate position of parts. and it isnt your fault, its a simpleplanes thing
Thats right, simpleplanes mirroring doesn't always mirror quite correctly - and neither does the nudge system. Its not enough to be noticeable, in overload I found it was sometimes off by less than 0.0001 units, but its enough to create an almost imperceptible roll to the right. This can be quite easily fixed using copy/paste, especially if you build with the centre of the craft on an X coordinate of 0.
Thats how i fixed it on a couple of aircraft, but there may be errors in upload/download that may create the problem for others.
you lucky, lucky person that you could make the thing with fuselage slicing.
I have a fuselage husk pre-slicing that is about 800 parts on its own lmao
other than general simpleplanes limitations of the time, the biggest inaccuracy I've found is that the nose and cockpit are slightly too long. Accidental but it ended up looking better like that so idc really and I can't be bothered to remake it yet lmao
@AnderWorks i would recommend reinstalling then if you havent already, little else I can think of other than disabling any mods you don't plan on using frequently
i love that the vrcollective people have literally been sitting on this spectacular feat of engineering for 5 months, probably debating the fallout if it actually gets posted lmao
also hilarious how half the community has no idea what this is lmao
@MRM19 yes I know what you're talking about - this is why I was trying to use the auto prop pitch script, because without it I have to drop the max rpm to 1500 (from an irl max of about 2600)
I'm still working on that script and will update the XML if I get it to work better and will tag you, if you like, when I get it done.
In the meantime take off with flaps up and don't pitch at all until you get above about 100mph/150kmh
its thrust is modeled based on altitude and throttle (i think?), it has multiple animations and a lighting effect that changes based on a function of throttle, and it has a comparatively complex model so tbh I'd say probably accurate
@Deepdark i have added the default wings already. This is the version with default wings. they are just shrunk to zero so you can't see them.
also, this aircraft was made using a blueprint - its fairly well accurate I think. Assuming you mean the flight model is bad, it was known to have a low roll rate, and it will obviously be terrible at low speeds.
@FickleGhost I didn't have any ¯\(ツ)/¯

@FickleGhost set photo as blueprint in designer, and take craft screenshot as normal :)
8AM GMT tomorrow I will be logging on to my account and checking this post. If you see this, message before then.
I've been there. getting help is one of the hardest things to do, but please do it. the world is a better place with you in it.
Be on this post tomorrow. we're worried about you.
+5@Nerfaddict apologies. Maybe we made the same comment, or maybe I've misremembered. The only certainty is that the comment existed in some form.
i seem to remember a couple of years back making a comment about simpleplanes soon being able to run Doom.
now it can.
I return from death to applaud you. this is incredible
+2@Mustang51 idk why im so nostalgic all of a sudden but yk.
if you remember, ig i should say thank you
+1the end.
I have awoken from my slumber to an aircraft I can't fly because I don't have a stick.
Idk whether to laugh or cry
+1@PriyanshuGM electric ducted fan.
Example of a nutcase who put afterburner on one.
@RepublicOfCursedPlanes absolutely. please link if you can find them, I have not got the time to make my own lmao
@PriyanshuGM no but I do have an old EDF so. jet powered air cooling
i really really want to take a bunch of these subassemblies.
1000 part engines
1000 part landing gear
1000 part cockpit.
and slap it all in the same aircraft.
it will be majestic
+6@Bogey i admire you for finding this, however this is a 2.5 year old post and I have the solution now lmao
thanks for the help though, much appreciated :)
added because 69 upvotes. thanks lads hehe
he has done it. he has beaten the part count of the yamato.
+2@Otana ive been trying to build an xp67 unsuccessfully lmao
@Otana I know :(
I think I've figured out what you've done but I don't know how to do it :(
can i just say quickly
we're gonna need a tutorial on how you panelled that. I can do 1d or even 2d panelling but there is panelling in the shape of pringles here and idk what to do with myself
+4is there a rule dealing with people imitating others? i really cant tell if this is the actual guy

@ajanie06 go ahead
Congrats guys, massively deserved :)
@ollielebananiaCFSP I know lmao
Tbf its mostly exterior complete it's just missing an interior

@ajanie06 I did my best :P

disappointed german corsair didnt make an appearance over tutorial plane. we trained you better than this
+6@AnderWorks i would recommend reinstalling then if you havent already, little else I can think of other than disabling any mods you don't plan on using frequently
+1@AnderWorks try using the designersuite mod, bit obsolete now but if it works it works
+1my guy you nailed it, much deserved
+1looks nice.
is it blueprint accurate? might be an idea to build to blueprints in future if it isnt, will take your builds that bit further
+1damn it. i was making one of these.
looks nice though

@MRM19 in what way difficult? i tried to make it sluggish at low speeds if thats what you mean?
oh my.
+1Tag me
race you there :D

i have never seen such a panic for a server being down as the spmp server being down.

there are plenty of servers out there dedicated to helping support players. If you need help with colouring in future go check them out.
+2we cannot leave. We are trapped in a bitter cycle of neverending suffering. But you have broken free.
Thank you for your builds, and good luck with your machinist work.
+6@Kangy thanks for feedback, I think I did it for a mix of building convenience and inexperience with the new cockpits but I'll leave them up in future
