Thanks! @Synthex4060
@Miniplanes I would say there are several aspects to this.
-Some knowledge of physics and basic flight principles
-Experiment with aesthetic design : build a plane with a simple configuration but take the time to play around with the parts and shapes. You don't have to use a gazillion of them, just make each part count.
-Experiment with physics : see what happens when you move the CoT, CoF and CoG, try out different control modes (canards, flaps, using rotators etc...). It can be frustrating sometimes especially if you're not so at ease with the theory, but can be very instructive.
-Know how the game works : how the parts can be changed, how they attach, how you can nudge them, and some XML modding can't hurt. Again, you just have to try things. Sometimes it just doesn't work, but you can learn from it.
And for these last 3 aspects it can be of rgeat help to reverse-engineer planes from other players. Look at the parts that can be interesting in detail, how the CoT CoF and CoG are located, what design tricks have been used.
I hope this helps you !
How in bacon's name do you simpleplanes gods make this sort of awesome stuff? I just can't and everyone else is making me look bad
@Synthex4060 np!
@AtomicFerret007 Thanks a lot, man !
This is awesome! I wish I could upvote it more than once!
@Synthex4060 ok, thanks!
@JMicah4 Sure ! Don't forget to credit me and be sure to send me a link when it's up !
Can I use this in a video?
@ShatSlanger made it, check out...
Exelente manejo, gran trabajo hiciste aquí
Whoa thanks guys ! Much appreciated !
@ShatSlanger and I am making it...
Perfect VTOL...
Nice! I built something similar to this a while ago too.
It's a very fun-to-fly design.
Very nice vtol. Cool looking too. Great build.
Good plan! I need to start thinking about all that technical mumbo jumbo...
My designs are unintentionally tall, but I usually makeup for that with control surfaces that are far from the center of the craft, AND POWER!! :D
@Maxwell1 For some reason I tend to do rather flat designs. Coincidentally, this makes for lower inertia on the pitch axis, which I would say is a plus for agility :)
@jlewisifer @shadowmaker108 Thank you, kind sirs !
I'm not the one to like things or comment a lot but this looks * amazing. 10 stars on yelp
Very cool. Like the style!
Man this thing looks like it's been paper pressed...
