Pogo Challenge

Mod MediocrePlanes  8.9 years ago

As some of you know, I recently completed my model of the Convair XFY-1 Pogo...
I have discovered it is extremely hard (aka impossible) to land.
I challenge you to land the Pogo (relatively) unscathed
(Some form of proof required)

    @MediocrePlanes huh, I genuinely didn't know that hahaha. @Meawk it should still work, you'll just have to start recording while not on SP

    @Meawk apparently it's F10 to record your screen on Windows 8

    @Meawk if you have Windows 10, hit windows+G to bring up the game bar, which has a screen recorder built in. If you're on a different system, lemme know and I'll find out for you

    @Meawk oh sorry, I thought you were on iOS just from looking at the first plane on your page. Which OS are you on?

    @Meawk SimplePlanes should make it pretty easy for you, although I haven't tested it. Go to your settings and there should be an option to enable EveryPlay replays

    @Meawk video would be ideal, whether it's everyplay or your own recording

    @Skua Haha no worries dude, it'll probably be a little easier to land yours if you pull my rotators out of there, I think the weight in the nose is this thing's major flaw. I bet that adding some dead weight to the rear fuselage bits would help.

    @AgDynamics ahh, sorry, I didn't notice. In that case it's entirely possible that your rotators are still hidden inside it, because I'm fairly sure I never removed any. Sorry for being a bit of an idiot hahaha

    @Skua My revision had prop vectoring too, but bound to pitch and roll and capped at 3° of movement in both directions. I didn't want to make it too obvious :)

    @JolanXBL it was really difficult in real life too, which is one of the reasons that the Pogo never made it in to full production or service. It was still done, though!
