Name: SU-27 Flanker
Type: Replica
Attempt #: 4
Falkenwut Generation Build: 7
A re-re-re-remake of my Su-27 Flanker, which I've been working for 2 weeks. Bit of a love-hate relationship building this plane.
Got a lot more parts than I originally intended for. Couldn't add any additional details as the game kept crashing on me... Does this happen to anyone else?
It came less maneuverable than I had hoped for... What do you guys think? Was it better Before or now? Feedback is most welcome :)

I'm going to dog fight an f-15 in this
Nice :D as a Dcs player i can say the Rwr is Sick af
@Falkenwut no problem :)
@MrShenanigans I missed that completely! To be fair, my pc wasn't too happy with the part count as is, for some reason it kept crashing towards to end of this build (with several details ommitted btw...)
Will consider it for future builds though. I do wish to make it as accurate as I can... Thanks for your input! :)
@Falkenwut ok here see how it curves on the side of the cockpit
@MrShenanigans could you relink the image please? it's not loading up
@Falkenwut like the curve on the side like this image see the front it has like a curve from the cockpit top to the bottom
@MrShenanigans I used fuselage slicing everywhere! The cockpit glass, the cockpit itself, the gear doors, quite a lot of the fuslage, the airbrake,wings, elevators and rudders. Where do you feel I missed??
Why you didn't use the fuselage cutting for like the curves beside the cockpit?
@YourLocalUchiha This is a problem i tend to encounter when making custom wings. Check out my older model, for a more maneuverable version...
For it being a Su-27, I’d expect it to be considerably more maneuverable. Feels more like flying a Hornet than a Flanker but a good plane nonetheless.
@ReinMcDeer About the same for me. Still haven't found a consistent reason, but I have a feeling that's the reason. Also it's maybe because of re-sized parts used as sub-assemblies...
Nice blueprint, I'm just gonna yoink this for later. :)
As for the crashing, I've had some issues as well, but with way less parts. For me, it happens either when I'm editing xml values, loading in subassemblies, deleting parts really quickly, or attaching parts.
Funky
Beautiful!
Bread 👍
