Wonderful aircraft! Interesting how you chose to build it, a mix of many aircraft joined to create the perfect combination. One thing must be cleared up however, the cockpit interior is yours?
@WinsWings I made this post to show my appreciation of this build, I hope you like it. It includes images of this plane taken using Reshader effects. Click Here
My T-33 Shooting Star is done, and I am almost finished with my Fuji T-1 Japanese Trainer AIrcraft - I have used fuselage slicing for a 100% realistic paint job but with no drag and less parts, custom wings for extra realism, a detailed cockpit interior that, like the real plane, seats two, and some extra gizmos and gadgets to finish off. I am just doing the final touches to add the most realism.
@WinsWings Oops I was thinking of the KI30 light bomber but that flew a little too early! Now I hope to make a Fuji T-1 Japanese fighter plane in addition to my T-33 Shooting Star USAF trainer aircraft. I am glad I heard of this challenge early, I have so many great ideas I want to make a submit, thanks for making this challenge, really inspiring!
Must it be specifically airplanes that participated in the cold war, either on USAF or Soviet side, or can it be any warplane from any country that flew during that time?
@LunarEclipseSP Yes, I was working on it for some time there, but forgot about it, and had to rush and attempt to finish it before the deadline! I am glad I still got in!
Great engine, how did you make it? I have never seen hover capabilities like this! Could you make a post with just the engine for people to easily put on their builds? all helicopters need this!
Amazing plane, I love how you made the plane so users can simulate the incident in game with instructions! The description you gave here was also amazing and detailed, I absolutely loved reading it! 100/10 from me!
@PlaneFlightX How should I use it? I added Part Mesh Configuration to the part, but now its glitching where one I put it into a build, an unlimited amount of them spawn on top of each other, and transfer across builds. So if I change aircraft, it stays exactly where it is; it doesn't get despawned when loading another aircraft. They're selectable, but undeletable. And I can;t move it without using the Fine Tuner interface.
@frogbot4000 I'm really busy trying to get out my own aircraft for an SP challenge closing in 11 days time, but I have managed to dabble a little on your craft. I did a bit of Funky Trees code on your rotators and pistons, so now instead of having to use AG2 with VTOL, then AG3 with VTOL, you can just use the landing gear button and it'll do both at the same time, with the appropriate delays to avoid clipping. I think your flotation issue is that the pontoons aren't large enough, thats all. I've already got something in mind, but it will take a little while.
@frogbot4000 I was using this ocean mod to do @Tingly06822 's screenshots. I'm pretty sure you're using the same. I had the exact same issues while positioning the aircraft for the shots, and had to use a very rough workaround.
Tingly, by the way, this post has very similar issues. Slightly better, but will still flip quite often. What did you do in your attempt to fix the issue?
@NathanMikeska, I think the main addition I would like for part mirroring would be to be able to mirror around a custom axis. For example, if you were designing a missile currently attached to an aircraft, you would be able to select the item you want mirrored, then select the missile body as the mirror axis to mirror the item to the other side of the missile. This would be good for main landing gear as well; select the wheel, make the gear strut the axis, and viola. My idea for this style of mirroring comes mainly from my tinkering with Autodesk Fusion.
@PlaneFlightX Very nice! Just wondering, are you planning to make the exterior interactable as well? It would be interesting to somehow pair this with the FPS Camera as well to be able to do a full pre-flight walkaround.
@Seeras Oh, you're not a mod anymore? Sorry, I didn't realise. It's a shame to see you go.
@MrSilverWolf Are you able to help instead? See my comment below.
@Seeras, I think we have a bot here.
Also, if you look at the top two comments on THIS post, another user (Natasha11) replied to this user whom I also suspect to be a bot.
@AndrewGarrison When do you expect to notify successful signups? Are you already selecting and notifying users for the playtest, or will that be upcoming?
@Mustang51 Ok, I always do try make the drag points and speed realistic but for some reason I forgot this time I posted!
+1Hi here is my submission! https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/Y2XCwh/FH-1-McDonnell-FH-Phantom
+1Hi Iove the plane and the thumbnail please tell me how do you take such awesome thumbnail?
+1Nice! thanks for this! I always get stuck on the nose portion
+1LOL!
+1@Samoa and send the link here so he knows it is a submission.
+1Wonderful aircraft! Interesting how you chose to build it, a mix of many aircraft joined to create the perfect combination. One thing must be cleared up however, the cockpit interior is yours?
+1😍😍😍 Looks fantastic!

+1@WinsWings, Do you have Reshader effects?
+1Woooooowwww! Flies so well, stable and the colour scheme is 😍😍😍
+1YES T PLEASE
+1@WorstPlaneIEverMake Its new york time you have a few hours yet!!
+1Here is a list of my 3 submissions:
+1Fuji T-1
T-33
Fictional
Here is a few teaser images of my Fuji T-1 to uploaded in a few days, using reshader effects. Click Here
+1I love it! Please though, can you make usable crafts? Maybe usable versions of original crafts?
+1@WinsWings Here is a T-33 Shooting Star USAF Trainer Aircraft Maybe a submission please read the description
+1Amazing as always, how do you do the paneling? Pls make a video
+1@windshifter1 Oh, and it has the perfect max speed

+1@WinsWings Great! I am thinking of making a japanese fighter plane as well. I already have a T-33 shooting star trainer aircraft near completeion.
+1@WinsWings Oh OK, so just confirming, we can send in airplanes from any country from that era?
+1Must it be specifically airplanes that participated in the cold war, either on USAF or Soviet side, or can it be any warplane from any country that flew during that time?
+1Nice!!!
+1If I have missed anyone, please notify me.
+1All upvotes sent to the participants!
+1Good job everyone! The build are great! I will give all participants an upvote each of my own! ALL the builds are great!
+1When and where will the results be posted?
+1@LunarEclipseSP Yes, I was working on it for some time there, but forgot about it, and had to rush and attempt to finish it before the deadline! I am glad I still got in!
+1@Legomaster0418 The second image is the one I like and want to check out, the first comes up with and error: image not found or was removed.
+1Great engine, how did you make it? I have never seen hover capabilities like this! Could you make a post with just the engine for people to easily put on their builds? all helicopters need this!
+1Great plane and description! I just love it when people actually put effort into their descriptions and photos!

Stunning ;)

@AndrewGarrison Hey, perhaps you could release a clip of the intended SP2 sountrack as a teaser?

@Rocketguy2079 I got those tags, I mean I didn't get tagged on the new craft yet
@Rocketguy2079 Certain? I haven't gotten the notification
