I’m a shudder flap lover
@asteroidbook345 the engines are smol, next version will be bigger
3 engines for something this large seems like it wouldn't be enough lol
@CatAircraftmanufacturer2 thx bud
@Inuyasha8215 it only happens to me on Wright. It seems to be a problem with the runway that affects my other builds as well, but yes, the weight of the craft adds to the problem
Okay so there is a problem with main gear, the springs break easily whenever I take off, causing the gear bogies to fall off, it happens in either low, medium, or high physics.
@Freerider2142 this is the one
@StarlightFX because I noticed the highlight later
@SemedianIndustries your tagging me 2x XD
@StarlightFX OH GOD
@StarlightFX Arigato gozaimasu, Sensei
@Inuyasha8215 thancc
@SolarisAir Indeed pardner, thx
Gorgeous plane.
@Dastin thank you big man
@Treehippy thanks buddy
@Leviatham I agree to agree, partner
@ThomasRoderick @Tang0five @khajaja thanks kings
OMG That is so beautiful
@KerlonceauxIndustries thank you big man
@WingworksDesignCo so I don't clip too many things while building and so the VTOL slider works realistically. But they automatically retract once you get in the game
why are the flaps down by default?
@Sovietstrike333 @Treadmill103 thank you kings
@Jake_ appreciated pardner
That looks really well done! Take my upvote!
