then you should keep your speed above that threshold by inserting power.
as I said before, this aircraft is overloaded, so it is significantly heavier than it's supposed to be. The trick here is to spend your fuel first, apply airbrakes, and try to gently touch the aircraft down by paying attention to altitude and speed. Add power when speed is too slow, and add stick input when vertical speed is too fast.
@JackWumbertson
then the way you're landing the plane is wrong.
~180kts is about the perfect, if not slightly faster landing speed. Perhaps the problem with your technique is that you didn't pull enough Angle Of Attack to land the aircraft smoothly, resulting in a rapid descent that made the landing gears of the aircraft give up it's structural integrity.
another point is that you might be landing with way too much mass loaded. Since I've noticed I overcompensated the fuel amount on this particular aircraft, it became significantly harder to maneuver the aircraft, thus harder to keep it in a good speed and AoA during landing.
try to land the aircraft with about 40-60% fuel, 6° of AoA, and ~160kts of IAS. If it doesn't help, try pulling up the nose until you see the rate of your descent slowing down.
@PlanerIndustries9
the thing is that same technology has already became obsolete the moment the F-16 went into production.
Swing Wings are primarily built as a way to figure out how to smoothly transition to stability at high speeds, and maneuverability at low speeds. Since no technology at the moment has that effect, the F-14 made use of the swing wing so it can dogfight as a way to defend itself.
but the thing is, swing wings are expensive, maintenance heavy and complicated. Though this very feature was beloved by fans and pilots, it wasn't the maintenance crew's favorite thing to work on.
what did the F-16 do to make swing wings obsolete? simple. Fly-by-Wire.
Fly-By-Wire is by far the safest, most advanced, and most reliable control system in all of aviation. Since all controls the pilot have inputted has to go through a computer first, the aircraft essentially controls itself with the assist of the pilot. This makes unstable aircrafts that are normally impossible for pilots to fly normally like the F-16 and the Typhoon flyable rather smoothly and easily.
and you might be wondering "why make aircrafts unstable in the first place?" well, lack of stability in an aircraft increases it's maneuverability. This isn't always true, but that is the simplest explanation on how why aircrafts such as the Viper is designed to be unstable. wow, I haven't even talked about the tomcat's capabilities compared to the eagle. Modern day fights aren't just being fast and maneuverable, hell this is the exact reason why the F-35 is the most advanced aircraft on the market. But if you weren't bored of listening to my speech about why the swing wing is not the best thing and want me to speak about more "nonsense", let me know your argument.
@SuperSuperTheSylph
the problem is that that's near the limit of how much I can make it pull without breaking the PEA ruleset and I didn't really wanna bother with getting it right cause I've had too much trouble with it in the first place lmao
tbf though, I might change it, performance kinda sucked compared to other aircrafts and I do have a problem with it
I...
...purposefully made it that way.
just so you know I made it that way because real aircrafts do that too, I'm just adding that detail in why would anyone mash the gear button anyway?
listen man
great build and all
'preciate it when someone does an obscure plane but be sure to put the splitter plate next time aight? it would look nicer
@Christiant2
ah then, that's because sp missiles are very simplistic in performance
you can make it somewhat close by editing it's mass, maneuverability, and thrust, but other than that, missiles are relatively innacurate.
I love seeing them because it makes me laugh
might as well call them the comedian of simpleplanes.com with how much they "joke" around one specific topic
I definitely am not dodging what are you on about xd
apart from that, if you want an honest tip
just get good.
there are many ways on how to get good and a part of that is to download someone's aircraft and see whatever techniques they used to make their planes.
and also stop caring about upvotes. like seriously lmao, it's just internet points that doesn't give you anything else but dopamine it's basically drugs if you let it be your main goal lmao
I just wanna say that the pattern of the missile launch is different from what I experienced
from my experiences, missiles are fired in an alternating pattern, working it's way from the inside to the outside
also, the ones placed on the rear of the aircraft will launch first, before switching towards the front ones.
aside from that, I can't really help much
I mean, I know some ways to make activation groups work since they're kinda just simple yes or no question but, I don't think I can help much.
@TheUltimatePlaneLover
thanks lol
as for the question, I think it's more to do with how ice creams are made and not what are ice creams made of
I'm sure there is a better explanation of it but that's what I could come up with.
@KPLBall
ight, I'll give you some tips then
for the A-4, utilize a lot of cover
play around in terrain since you don't have the best everything
once you grab a kill, don't get too cocky and get back in cover for a 2nd attack run
for the F-100, try to be as aggressive, and avoid light fighters
heavy fighters aren't going to be able to keep up with you in turns, and mediums fighters are going to go toe to toe with you
generally, avoid attackers because they're too bulky and too long to kill, unless you're confident can spam them with missiles at close range.

Yeah, I'm not too screwed unless they come up in an F1.
off topic, the planes you've mentioned in metalstorm that are absolute menaces aren't even menaces.
The F-15 is honestly mid (speaking as an Eagle main), the F-4 sucks without it's abilities, the M.III is somewhat balanced because of it's rather slow turn rate, A-4 is garbage, and Su-33 imho is not the best Flanker in the game.

not to hate or anything, in fact I think it's pretty cool
HOWEVER.
bro looks like he was built in ksp
gonna compare this to my own block 10's control system later
@Graingy
loads fine for me.
might be imgbb doing goofy shit
@MolotokSP
both are vipers.
"Viper" is a nickname the pilots gave the F-16, while "Fighting Falcon" is the name that General Dynamics gave the F-16.

Let me know if there's anything else to worry about.
This aircraft is ultimately an Early Access Work In Progress.
It is subject to change, so don't be afraid to comment and help me improve the finalized work.

I appreciate it but Idk if you know
I've also made the ones that has weapons.

is it performance or appearance?

@PlaneEditorGuy
as long as you credit, sure
I would want to know how do you "refresh" a code
there is a variable output for jet engines.
it's called Thrust
@TheGliderGuy
perhaps clean the screen then lol
Idk

but, other than that, your choice.
I'm not a huge tank builder but this is epic
omg bro banned!!!!!
-apologizes for quality
-proceeds to take the cleanest resolution I have ever seen
man hasn't cooked enough
I think there's like an addon for it or smth but yeah, it's kind of a hassle for most of us so whoever is in charge of designing the site pls do lol
just admit that you took too much inspiration from the j20 my guy lmfao

probably because you weren't careful enough.
