@Oicraftian sweet, I've managed to get some success using vectored thrust for that, but never purely aerodynamic control. Let me know how it turns out!
@Oicraftian I'll be honest, I can't help you there. A good number of my planes never even get rudders. They're not a big part of controlling a plane most of the time, anyway
I am sure I used structural panels! I have an early 27C Concept in my profile, test that. I will check on my little Zero. Maybe I did use another set of wings in my Zero. There used to be some planes on my wall called Type 8 and they were part of my advanced maneuverability program. My earlier Zero is a direct development of that! I hope I don't come across wrong, sometimes I am forgetful @Skua
@Oicraftian I'm not sure I understand what you mean - they're all wings, structural wings still act as wings in every sense. Structural panels don't, but you didn't use those (on the Zero, at least). I tested it without the extra wing sections just to see, including moving the CoM to stay roughly where it was in relation to the now-different CoL. I got the drop in handling ability that was expected. Can you upload one of these more agile versions without the extra wing sections so I can see?
Err. Those are actually structural things. Only the bottom wing is actually a "wing". It is inherent design characteristics I took from lessons learned in previous aircraft. 27C is example of a larger scale model. I delete my old planes because I don't think they deserve the light of day... Those wing sections make the wing loading value lower than it actually is. I do maneuverability tests before and after the additional sections and those structural things are actually detrimental @Skua
Hi Oicraftian, sorry it took me so long to get back to you on this, I've had a busy weekend. I tried out four or five of your planes, generally speaking they fly really well and are all incredibly manouevrable. The way you do thicker wings with numerous wing sections is probably pretty important to this, dat wing loading is just so low. So yeah, there's definitely no issue with how your planes fly.
In terms of looks, you usually do a decent job but there's not a lot to distinguish a lot of your prop planes from each other. Don't be afraid to build on a slightly larger scale like you did with the BK-29, which looks awesome.
As for deleting old planes, I wouldn't worry about that. Take a look at my old planes, they're still all up. It's kinda nice to be able to look back and see how far you've come, and nobody is gonna show up to look through your page and say "Hah look Oicraftian's planes weren't as good last year!".
Above all just have fun, I'm sure you'll enjoy v1.3 when it comes to mobile soon.
@Oicraftian don't worry, you don't need hundreds of parts to build a good plane. I think I've seen a few of your planes about, but I'll look properly on my laptop later
@Oicraftian Dont worry you will get noticed soon... try to use custom camo to make your planes look better. I taught your planes would be bad looking but they are actually very good.
Firstly dont sell your self short. You have a lot of nice detailed planes. I have a friend on here who used to think his stuff was not very good but it is. All you need is a follower base. Something i can help with. @Skua @General360 @lucasmah @Swat132 @DeezDucks @AviownCorp @MrVaultech i tagged you guys because you are all supportive
Just be yourself mate :) the community is not judgemental and we are all equal here so just enjoy building and try being active in the forums and supporting new users :)
So I was wondering if someone could help me with my Zeroes, my B7A2 project, and my 27C project which looks really bland
It's all about rudder authority; and inherent low speed stability. But it doesn't last long. Game mechanics make it rather hard to do so @Skua
@Oicraftian sweet, I've managed to get some success using vectored thrust for that, but never purely aerodynamic control. Let me know how it turns out!
I was trying to get it to be able to do PSM... @Skua
@Oicraftian I'll be honest, I can't help you there. A good number of my planes never even get rudders. They're not a big part of controlling a plane most of the time, anyway
Well I haven't actually been satisfied with it's rudder authority... @Skua
@Oicraftian hey there's no reason to worry about it mate, the Zero handles excellently. I'll be sure to check those other planes out
Oops... I messed up... @Skua

Just keep on building things. The more you familiarize yourself with how the plane designer works the better/faster you'll be at building things..
Try out other people's design and take them apart so you could investigate how it was built.. Then try to replicate it
I need a support base. My planes aren't very good@dsr1aviation
@Oicraftian don't worry, you don't need hundreds of parts to build a good plane. I think I've seen a few of your planes about, but I'll look properly on my laptop later

Kik is a chat app.
@dsr1aviation I notice how you leave out that they are "nicely detailed" but still have a low part count...
a kik?
hokay?
maybe?
Also now might be the time to finish your boat. They are very popular at the moment
There is a group on there you can join full of supportive users
By the way do you have kik?

@dsr1aviation What should I improve on? You yourself are an excellent builder, very much unlike myself. Tell me, what should I improve?
Just be yourself mate :) the community is not judgemental and we are all equal here so just enjoy building and try being active in the forums and supporting new users :)
perhaps I should stop deleting my old planes that did not make the modern standard?
