Making each wing out of 2-3 wing parts can help. Also, if you make basic fuselage wings you can connect the engines to the fuselage wings instead of directly to the wing parts.
Hi, would like to thank everyone who upvoted this plane. As mentioned above, this is a work in progress and I was shocked when I checked this post last night. Thanks again! It means a lot to me!
Yeah, I understand now. The code should actually be very similar to the landing gear.
Here is the code I usually use for the gear: ceil(smooth(clamp01(LandingGear), 1 / x))
And for the doors: ceil(smooth(clamp01(LandingGear), 1 / y)) -
floor(smooth(clamp01(LandingGear), 1 / z))
So for the gear x is the time in seconds it will wait for the door to open on extension. y and z will add similar delays for the gear door on extension and retraction.
I think you’ve discovered the pain of the mirror tool… When you mirror any group of parts that’s supposed to move, you usually have to go back and check all the connections because the game will add all kinds of random connections that will prevent stuff from moving.
And also, making a manually controlled VTOL aircraft is quite hard, so I’d recommend adding a gyro to stabilize the plane while in VTOL mode
I’m impressed with your creativity in using inlet parts to add color detail. Great job!

Yessss! I knew it was possible!
+4I’ve been wondering how large AI planes could get since you’ve mostly made bizjets and GA planes. I guess you’ve answered that now!
+4Looks great and flies even better! Great job as always
+4This is one of my favorite WW2 planes. Very nice job!
+4Is this using text labels or actual beacon light parts?
+3solid plane. and a formidable dogfighting enemy too!
+3Looks Niiiicce!
+3A bit of xml would improve flight performance tho
hehe
+3The way everything is modeled, from the custom tracks to the turret is seriously impressive!
+2camera shake is a nice touch
+2@Eagleman101SP yay! saudi approved
+2Could you allow 1950s or 60s? There’s only about half a dozen aircraft that fit the description currently
+2Such an awesome plane to fly…ahh my wings snapped off!
+2fr tho you couldn’t ask for more in a f-14
nice!
+2I thought this day would never come! I’m glad that the legacy of this game (my all-time favorite, hands down) will be continued 🥹
+2Can you turn left to go right?
+2imagine making a Global 8000…
+2It looks so good! Someone should recreate a scene from prehistoric planet with this
+2The cockpit is well detailed, yet it’s really easy and intuitive to use. Fabulous job!
+2It’s been forever since I’ve seen a Hawaiian livery around here! Great Job!
+2I’m so bad at the game, but I love it 😍
+2Yeah! UN SDGs
+2Taking a bite out of the competition!
+2767 + 777 = this

+2The flaps are smooooooth! Also, nice details in the engines and gear.
+2@klm747klm747 and @Korzalerkle, thanks for the help!

+2@929 yes, I take my own thumbnail photos
+1Cool!
+1Beautiful Trent 700s and the engine noise is really nice as well👍
+1@Rob119 thanks! Yeah, there are a lot of countries not represented in the builds on this site
+1This is amazing. This is one of those planes that I could fly for hours and never get bored. Fun startup sequence too!
+1Gotta try make windows like that sometime. looks pretty smooth
+1Lol

+1@jamesPLANESii I had the same problem when I first tried https://www.simpleplanes.com/Forums/View/1585109/Button-Switch-Interaction-Types
+1Lovely!
+1Very Festive!
+1These things are nasty irl
+1Bro even made the eyes move 😂
+1@WinsWings indeed. from what I’ve read, it’s supposedly to increase visibility for the back seat
+1I thought that thumbnail was the real thing! Great job

Cool project, hope you find this helpful
+1Nice! A lot of detail and functionality with few parts
+1Cool landing gear and well done it’s a really believable WWII design
+1Nice job! There’s so much stuff to check out for only 1300 parts
+1Nice! usually this kind of build is only possible with mods
