My First German fighter in a while! ---WARNING--- Takeoffs and landings are difficult. The Pfalz D.III was a fighter aircraft used by the Luftstreitkräfte (Imperial German Air Service) during the First World War. The D.III was the first major original design from Pfalz Flugzeugwerke. Though generally considered inferior to contemporary Albatros and Fokker fighters, the D.III was widely used by the Jagdstaffeln from late 1917 to mid-1918. It continued to serve as a training aircraft until the end of the war. Cockpit by Nsstancik

That would be awesome! @SMHrubix I’m following your work (as you could probably tell!) so I look forward to them!
@Tang0five thanks, I'm actually thinking of recreating all of my planes with the new update that added the new tools and stuff.
I don’t know why I’m only seeing this now.....awesome collection of First World War aircraft!
@SMHrubix Ok thanks i will try it normally i start with the fuselage.
@PanzerkampfwagenMausLP I have a sort of system where I start with the cockpit (I always use @Nsstancik 's WW1 cockpit by putting it as a sub assembly) then start with the fuselage and the tail,then nose, then wings, then add final touches like weight (if needed) and doubling up the horizontal stabilizers to lay off some lift on the nose. i mostly just make replicas, so i am usually looking at pictures of them.
@SMHrubix Really?I was not thinking that this is so rare.
I wanted to ask for you to look over my last biplane because your biplanes are more than beautiful and i want to do it better than now and again i hope you understand it.
@PanzerkampfwagenMausLP Awesome! I've never met someone German!
Well work,new follower incoming.I like Bigplanes or how we say in germany "Doppeldecker".I was searching for weeks Bigplanes but al what i found was a crowd of Jets.I know my english is catastrophic but i hope you understand it. :)
@Fishbowl1121 I think i'll make either a fokker triplane or a sopwith...
@SMHrubix ANYTIME!
@ForeverPie THANKS!
@EternalDarkness ok i'll try it, thanks
Try taking more close-up screen shots. They would give a much better preview of the build, and attract people to take a closer look.
@SMHrubix No problem, this should be featured!
@MrSilverWolf @poopatron71 @Waemoth @ChiChiWerx Thanks so much.
@Fishbowl1121 along with a Spad IIV and XIII, Nieuport N.28, And a few Albatros'
@Fishbowl1121 I made an S.E.5a, its one of my best planes.
@Fishbowl1121 Thanks! What should i build next?
