I'm not wuite sure what you mean? Is the bouncing a good thing?@Markjn
@Hedero a lot of planes will pull up when you press S on the keyboard, but when you let go of the key will bounce back down a few times like a car with worn out shock absorbers. Even more common with rudder controls Q & E. My planes do it but some planes don't, and I wish I knew why. Thanks!
Thanks man! What are control wobbles? @Markjn
Nice! Flies Great! How do you avoid control wobbles?
Ok my name is Hedero #9172@TheGermanHeliPilot
It would be easier to send on discord @Hedero
I do @TheGermanHeliPilot
Lol the link isn't clickable @TheGermanHeliPilot
do you have discord? @Hedero
https://www.simpleplanes.com/u/QantasGuyA330 This should be it
It’s called desu airlines. I changed it from QantasGuyA330 to desu airlines and now I have a completely new account @Hedero
Can't find your account. @TheGermanHeliPilot
That’s cool. I liek your style and I hope you liek my aircraft’s on my old account @Hedero
https://www.simpleplanes.com/u/QantasGuyA330 Here is my old account @Hedero
That’s because I used to be called QantasGuyA330 and I’ve been building since like 2-3-4 years ago lmao @Hedero
How have you followed me since my orion if you've joined 2 weeks ago lol. And yeah I guess I could make those jets someday but I highly doubt it. I build random airplanes depending on how much I want to make them. @TheGermanHeliPilot
I've followed your builds since your p3 Orion and I think you have definitely gotten better. if there was one plane that you should make, it's the MIG-23 or 27. Or maybe even the MIG Firefox from the movie! I like Russian aircraft a lot. Cheers! @Hedero
Lol that's awesome! @TheGermanHeliPilot
No problem mate. Your aircraft are always fun to fly and to re-enactments of air to air combat battles! You really save me from being bored @Hedero
Thanks dude! I highly appreciate the positive support and yes, I will keep going! @TheGermanHeliPilot
Your aircraft are the best!
I really like your mobile friendly aircraft, the realism and the fact that they don't accelerate to Mach 2 in like 2 seconds. I really like your style. keep going man. You the best
Yay thank you! @ShinyGemsBro
Supreme build. There aren't much decent designed Bearcats on here. Glad that I come across this one. UPVOTE!
When did I say I would make it? And no not an ov-10. I like to choose my own builds sometimes. Ones that don't look too difficult. @CaptainRex123
