Triangular Fuselage Parts

25.5k Mustang51  4.8 years ago

The customisable fuselage block is great but it does have its limitations. One of these is that it always has four corners! Planes like the Me-262 or Kikka are very hard to replicate on SP because of their triangular fuselage shape, yet they are very well liked and popular aircraft.

This could also potentially help with making leading or trailing edges of wings and other surfaces.

It could be implemented either by adding a new part which has only three sides or by being able to change the number of sides on a fuselage block would be very useful.

What do you guys think?

    @Michiganstatepolice like how it’s done in that soon to be released game flyout you mean? That would be perfect

    @Mustang51 @LlamaIndustries it would be better if you could also change the size of the top and bottom of the fuselage

    @MinecraftKidGuy I would not underestimate what can and can't be made. Look at sleddriver. The things he has done are crazy.

    @MinecraftKidGuy you mean the Delft one? It’s definitely possible. Very tricky but possible. Some people come up with very creative ways to make different shapes

    @Mustang51 the Flying V concept in real life can’t be made in simplelanes

    @Hedero it would be great! More land mass would be nice and more targets to attack would be great too

    Yea I might pass out if I do lol. Well I'll just hope they do something with simpleplanes. One change I really want is a map update, like detailed mountains with snow caps and coniferous trees at the bottom I don't why I want something like that but it would be beautiful.@Mustang51

    @Hedero a couple weeks ago. Fairly recently so it’s still in very early days. I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for it anytime soon hahaha

    @Hedero yes they did! They haven’t officially started it or officially announced it but they discussed it on discord and on some SP posts

    That would be pretty cool. Did any of the devs mention sp2?@Mustang51

    @Hedero maybe this is the kind of thing we could see in SP2. Keep SP1 simple and make the new one a little more complicated

    Dang, that's a great concept. I saw someone else already suggested half and quarter hollow fuselage blocks. I would personally love to see this in game without mods. However, it would take the game further away from "simple" than it already is for new players. Possibly discouraging them to build anything. Idk, that's just what I think. But yeah I would love to use triangular shapes for different things!@Mustang51

    @Mustang51 i already did regarding the hs 129, thanks. They do use imho building technics that i try to avoid, not saying they they are bad.

    @nadvgia why not take a look at how other people made theirs. You seem fairly experienced so maybe give that a go

    I am waiting for changes like those on the fuselage or a new kind of part to not mess with older builds. Atm i stopped my hs 129 also because the fuselage shape cannot be build with the available parts unless they sink into each other which is something i really hate.

    @Trijets I often forget how different the two aircraft are even though the Kikka is based on the 262. It’s almost harder to replicate
