    @Dirtyd Same happens to me. The game always lags when I download and fly the very large designs.

    This "game" is pretty awesome. Find myself spending too much time trying to create stuff.

    Suck that the mobile devices can't handle the larger windows based designs though.

    @Ian1231100 I'm still a huge work in progress as far a learning how to manipulate designs, but hopefully it helps a little bit. Plus it helps me learn a little more for future reference.

    Great job on the original though.

    Ian, I downloaded and made a few changes to the wing and engine placements, as well as the dihedral angles on the rear stabilizers.

    Seems to fly a little bit smoother now

    @SimpleTechAndResearch Let's see how Tempest improves it first. Then I'll see if your suggestion works. :)

    Try Removing some of the weight from the back. The COM Is to Close to the COL Possibly
