Ok, I'm doing something a little different this time around that requires your input dear reader! I'm curious as to what the general SimplePlanes public looks for in a plane and what decides if you download or like something (or don't).
When I design planes everything comes second to flight stability. I make sure the plane is stable, level, and easy to fly, with no bad tendedncies and no pitch/ roll wobble (my arch nemesis!). But despite my best efforts I've never been able to really make a splash on here.
What I'd like is your input my latest plane. What would you change right off the bat to make it better without even downloading it? If you do download it (if you have the time, it'd be appreciated) , I'd like to know what you thought. How do YOU think it flies? What would you change? Does it just look boring or is there something else I should know dynamically? Your input is greatly, greatly appreciated and will be taken into account.
--As for the plane itself, it's supposed to be a medium size sea-based military support craft. Take off at around 200mph with 80% pitch. Landing gear provided for greater flexibility. Enjoy! (and leave feedback please!)--

@TimothyWong Also, is that a Prius Plug in your Avatar that's being charged by a solar panel? That's super cool! My father just bought one and loves it.
@TimothyWong Neat stuff! It looks pretty technical to download (i'm technologically inept lol) but I'll give it a shot, thanks!
@esms1999 Will do, and noted! But it's interesting that you say it's a given for a plane to fly well, because I've downloaded and flown an alarming amount of good looking planes that do very poorly in flight. It's like people don't even fly a plane before up-voting it, which confuses me.
@LatteFun thats just a given thing for5 a plane to fly well but if you make it able to do complex manuevers and such while still looking good or being a monster then you get even more looks take a look at my new ship youll see what i mean and some of my others the more controls and the better it looks and such the better you get
@esms1999 I see. I don't know how to "XML" mod or even understand what it is really. I guess that'd be the biggest limiting factor for me then. Do people not really prioritize flight dynamics?
hey buddy people are looking for detail to size the more detail and the more compact it is the better and some people look for monstrous machines and vehicles which create mayhem
