De Havilland Vampire
154 Siux
4.6 years ago
My very first complex plane.
I would love to get some tips on how to improve the handling :)
Group 1: VTOL Down for Airbrake
Group 2: VTOL Down to retract leading gear, VTOL neutral to extend it again.
Group 3: Arresting hook.
Leave me some feedback! And I know the cockpit view is messed up but I couldn't get it working.

I saw this in war thunder!
@Tang0five thank you! Yes I noticed it is annoying to do it with VTOL, I'm reworking the LG in general and its going to extend/retract depending on your height above the ground
I do like the vampire! I’d be inclined to assign the input for any landing gear hinges/rotators to LandingGear. It will then work at a click of a button which is more convenient. If you’re unsure check some of the builds on this site, good luck!!
@Mustang51 thank you for the feedback! Yes I had some struggle with it but I'm reworking the landing gear right now for a more realistic one. I'm going to quadruple check the collisions this time ;)
For your first upload it’s pretty good but still has a few problems, namely the landing gear. Make sure all landing gear parts do not interact with other parts (disable the collisions)
Also Im still working on it, well more tweaking like auto LG and auto Flaps. Funky Trees is awesome for stuff like that and looks way harder than it actually is. So there will be a couple more versions with improvements :)
@tylerdeveneuxmusic @Frenchman I can't thank you guys enough!
@tylerdeveneuxmusic thank you! Honestly I spend quite some time at it, but duuuuude it's so much fun! I'm very proud of my landing gear, sadly it's not the real one used on the vampire
@Forsaj13 @Frenchman thanks guys!
WOW! SUPER!
Very pretty plane, good job!
