P-38

I made this really bad replica of the P-38 Lighting. This is my very first time publishing an aircraft, so if you have any tips or recomendations, please let me know thanks! I recomend to take-off with flaps half-way down, and trim also around half.

    @GoldenAviationYT Np. The reason to use 0 drag is because the physics of simpleplanes is really weird, so it leads to a lot more drag than normal, and using 0 means less engine power leading to more realistic planes. the blueprints can be found by clicking on the eye on the sidebar and selecting what looks like a map. you can upload pictures from there

    few tips-use fuselage blocks for pretty much everything, and make sure to set the drag of each fuselage block to 0, using xml. work on custom cockpits and landing gear, as they are pretty simple and help a lot. Finally, you can use blueprints if you want it to be as close to the plane as possible.
