I suggest putting the physics setting on low. Everything else can be on high. Physics on high tends to make the plane spin off when taking off the runway! VTOL up to retract gears. Enjoy.

    Hi @simpleplanesmaster95 , both don't with the same method. It requires a small modification to the planes xml file stored on your device. First place the part's in a way that they work then move them by changing the position coordinates. It's also possible to place parts anywhere else and to create a new connection by writing it yourself into the file (which is what I did with the rear gear).

    I love this plane!I like how you covered the rotater commpleatlly,made the plane look like it was real,and how you made the retractable landing gear.But I also have 2 questions, How did you get the front landing gear to retract and atract on the wings?2,How did you get the rear wheel to atract and retract when the rotater was near the front?That's what I'm trying to figure out.

    Thanks for the heads up about the link on DethFromAbove's plane. I don't know why it didn't have the link. I'll double check that in future uploads. Anyway I just re-uploaded another version and I even made sure to do a callout to DethFromAbove incase the link didn't work again. Thx again.

    This was boss. I loved it also @scriefers is your next plane a b-17 flying fortress? Remember if it is a G model then have the waist gunners staggered, and chin turret. If F side by side and no chin turret

    @ElijtheGeat - The trick is to put the detacher and landing gear together, then you adjust the X, Y, Z coordinates for the wing and wheel. The game retains the coordinates after you run. All the hack are basically done this way. the funny thing with this game is that you can take any jumble of connected parts and turn them into an airplane by adjusting the XML coordinates. You can adjust XML on Android an PC, but not on iOS. I tried also on Mac but had limited success. Maybe Authors will be kind enough to release a community friendly version. It is a good idea and easy to hack.

    This is superb. Very mod intensive but it sure looks pretty. I have no clue how you got the main gear to work and I dissected this thing to hell and back. I can see this Cadillac of the sky flying escort for my next coming plane!!!

    I say witchcraft. I have yet to figure out how you did the landing gear. I think I need to switch to android

    Wow. Looks like I have to start messing with xml if I'm going to do anything as cool as what's showing up these days.

    Looks great! I like how you buried the rotators. Makes it very tight!
