how do i make my plane that weighs 5,000LBS and goes 2,000mph+ stop shaking? it just keeps shaking whenever it goes around 1,700 mph or higher, it shakes a lot and is more like vibrating

    The shaking is usually caused by the forces/stresses on the aircraft being greater than what the wings can handle. Some ways to deal with the problem are:

    1) Don't go fast at low altitude: Since the forces on the airplane depend on the air density, and density drops at altitude, the greater the altitude the faster a plane can go before it breaks apart.

    2) Use structural wings instead of normal wings. They are stronger and can take a bit more stress before shaking. This will require editing the wings in overlord to have control surfaces.

    3) You can reinforce the wings somewhat by embedding them partially into the fuselage and/or by adding fuselage supports or wing coverings. The extra fuselage can take up some of the stress that would otherwise affect the wing.

    4) You can try editing the wings drag. Lower drag should reduce the stresses on the wing.

    Good Luck

    @Kevvelry
    No problem, we've all been there. . It's frustrating when something doesn't work and you can't figure out why. I'm still learning new things about how Simpleplanes works.
