@squideater56 Got it. "Take it easy". Sure, I'll see how that goes 😉
@MEERKAT978 read the description
@MEERKAT978 Yep and i just uploaded a new version
@squideater56 I'll take a look at that and yes, I did try out the camera view. Cargo release system is perfectly fine, though I did notice the detacher connection had A LOT of play. I was worried it'd snap, but that's normal.
also while your at it, come check out my other amazing creations in my posts, I even have a truck seris called the silver rocket trucking co. with a real phone number and an actual email, and many more spectacular vehicles
@MEERKAT978
yea and the whole lost control thing I didn't have any issues so im ganna post an updated version of it that hopefully doesn't break when turning,also did you try out the cam one view when releasing the cargo, its awesome to watch,it also helps you see wheather the cargo survived or not @MEERKAT978
@squideater56 Uprated the score, 70% now. And yeah, that wing fix is a good idea...
@squideater56 oh bugger there's 8? One sec...
im ganna post an updated version with fixed wings sometime today
@MEERKAT978
I didn't daisy chain them... I made a solid cargo of like 7 to 8 crates,i color coded each crate to allow easier counting, and im working on fixing the wings, and im glad the fuel is enough to get you to snowstone and back
@MEERKAT978
Looks: 5/10. Not exactly pretty, but I've designed worse.
Payload: 8/10. Hits the 4-crate minimum and as I now know, it's an 8-crate job.
Handling: 6/10. Its turning circle and pitch/roll rates are alright. I got a hell of a shock when its wings went birdie on takeoff AND the aircraft became uncontrollable and crashed when I went to turn and overpass Snowstone post-drop, hence the mid-range score.
Fuel Efficiency: 18/20. The benchmark design could reach Snowstone with ~50% fuel by my flight plan. Your aircraft reached Snowstone AND dispatched its cargo with 83% remaining.
Survivability: 8/10. The aircraft did make it through the SAM sites undamaged, HOWEVER... I wouldn't have fancied staying over the airspace long due to the small number of flares and the severe issues I encountered with handling.
Functionality: 25/30. Ramp worked fine, I like how you daisy-chained the crates into a 4-pallet sled system. That worked perfectly fine.
TOTAL: 70/100
Overall, not a bad effort at all. (Thumbsup)
