Basic Aviation BA-28 Pigeon (WinsWings 100pts VR Challenge)

3,517 Krikkit42  4 months ago
Auto Credit Based on WinsWings's VR-100 Challenge

+++PREFACE: Sorry for messing up the screenshot. I hate this mechanic in SP. I’ll try adding some more in the description.+++

Trying something new, always fun. It’s basically a barebones light sport aircraft reminiscent of the classics.

Also my first low-part build with VR in mind…well, kind of: All basic functions have a corresponding switch/control in the cockpit that should be VR-compatible. But big DISCLAIMER: I don’t have VR, so I can only go by what the game tells me.
Not much more to it. Hope you enjoy taking the Pigeon for a spin!

Controls:
VTOL down: flaps
Trim: well…trim
AG1: Battery/ main power
AG2: Ignition/start engine
AG3: lights
AG8: close/open canopy (default is open)

    @Sockdragger thanks, I‘m glad you enjoy flying the Pigeon, and I appreciate the kind words! The actual wings are scaled way down and hidden inside the cosmetic wings right at the wingroots. I think they’re marked green or something, so I can find them myself 😉

    Nice little plane with lots of nice details. And on top of that, it flies really well too.

    Ps, where did you hide the wings? You didn't just custom-made them out of fuselage parts?

    @MrCOPTY Well, in fact I didn’t. It’s custom-made my friend! Although I will say I did try out the premade one in an attempt to save parts, but I really couldn’t make it fit, so I didn’t end up using it after all.
