I know it says I joined a month ago but I just activated my account today. I just created a nice single engine plane, the S-2 Cormorant, and I'd like your feedback on it. I've created several planes before but none of them have been uploaded and the Cormorant is the first plane that actually works & looks good.
@JakobW Ok, sorry my advice didn't fix the issues, hopefully the update will improve your plane. Good luck!
Alright, I made the control surfaces smaller but all that did was make the plane turn way worse. The slight wobble may be coming from the tilted tails or horizontal stabilizers, but I'm not sure. I also added the fuel to the drop tanks, and I'll be releasing an update sooner or later.
Thanks for the constructive criticism. I'll add fuel to the drop tanks. I'm also pretty sure I enabled steering with the yaw. I'll also try making the control surfaces a little smaller & see what that does.
@CursedFlames not one word was harsh in my opinion. That is all very constructive criticism. I wish someone had given me something like that on the first plane I had. 2 years ago.
It is a good first plane, however there are a few things I found:
The control surfaces seem way too large; I am not sure, but this could be a source of the slight wobble during flight.
Despite the two inner pods being drop tanks, they don't seem to contain any fuel.
No steering on the ground - something that could be added?
And in general, slightly unstable flight characteristics, though this might just be me. Perhaps try moving the CoM and CoL?
Overall a nice first plane, though some things could be improved. Please don't take this as hate, I was just trying at some constructive feedback. Sorry if it came off as a bit harsh.
