@Falkenwut yes the new diagram ability is fantastic! Make sure the plane is the exact length when you start to adjust it to the diagram though :)
@Mustang51 I wished to make the model as accurate as possible using the game's pre-designed look (with some XML-ing). Thanks to the new updated, I'm able to put blue-prints on the background and give the plane a more realistic look. However sometimes when using XML to change the size of the engine, the properties of its weight and strength change a lot. Sometimes outright reach mach 2 in a few seconds of putting full acceleration.
Also i noticed that these Fast fighters of the late 1950s till the 70s, the plane's body is relatively long and thin. Making my old models looks like closed turtle necks xD
Pretty nice F-104 for so few parts but it could definitely have its flight characteristics improved
Simple but amazing. Cool stuff.
