    The Nose is slightly pointy. this is something the AI Bomber got right, which was a rounded, commercial airliner nose.

    I found out why the flap on the far left falls out. The piston isn't connected to the small rotater. Go into x-ray mode and add a manual connection from the piston to the small rotater.

    Excuse me but there's a problem, everytime I expand the flap the left flap pops out (expand the flap slightly) why does it do that?

    this is an awesome bomber but I have one major issue with it. when I was using it for high altitude bombing at high speed it Gains altitude faster than a falcon nine on speed. and trying to counter this with trim and is pitches the noes down way to far and looks dumb.

    @AerialFighterSnakes there are multiple problems with trying to download something like this on iOS; First of all, the part count is rather big, so most iOS users won't be able to use it, simply due to the amount of lag it will cause. Second of all, the plane itself is massive, and since the game engine has to calculate all the weight and drag that every part has when you load it into the world, sometimes it's just too much for your device to handle, and the game crashes. If you want to download and use something like this, you'll have to either get a higher end iOS device, like an iPhone X, or something with a lot of Gigs of RAM, such as a gaming computer, or just an overall good PC in general.

    Hope that helped!

    By the way, how did you get the bombs to ripple out so fast? They don’t hang up and they drop as fast as I can hit the button.

    Awesome job on the B.U.F.F.! One of my favorite bombers other than the B-1B Lancer (aka the "B-ONE").
