This is the Darius Project. She bears a slight resemblance to the F/A-18 Hornet, of which she is designed after.
However
I have been made aware that my... creations haven’t been getting a lot/any attention. I would like some assistance asthetically topping off this beauty to catch other pilot’s eyes. The flight model is done. Dont mess with it.
Note:
Should you decide to help me, I will be sure to credit you, along with, (idk if this is against the rules or not) Post this as a successor to one of said helper’s creations, so you get half the payout.
Help please

Well it shouldn't bounce a lot if the damper is set to a high value. Also, I see you were trying to make trailing link landing gear, you made it slightly incorrectly. You need a freely rotating hinge in-between of the two rotators. If you know what I mean. Take a look at BogdanX's trailing link landing gear if you want to see it in action. @Shippy456
Well. That worked. I enabled wheel suspension and pumped the dampening. First try, it landed. Even with my pilot skill. I hate the little wheel bounce glitch though. @Hedero
The default suspension is off because of bounciness when the user was sitting still, however I will mess around with it.
There is also custom working suspension built into the landing gear. I’ll try fidgeting with dampening and strength as well as XML.
@Hedero
Hmmmmm, man that's really odd. Try adding suspension to the wheels. Like, not shocks just the default suspension on the wheels.@Shippy456
Hmm. The landing gear isn’t being cooperative. It keeps exploding unless you land it very gingerly at 170- mph. And it is impossible to land on the Beast. Any suggestions? @Hedero
Oh sorry I assumed you've saved the post. Lemme reupload.@Shippy456
It is, thank you. But now that you’ve removed the unlisted post, I need a cockpit. @Hedero
Oh lol, I just said I hope you like it and that I hope it's good enough.@Shippy456
What did you say in the (now removed) final post? @Hedero
Well... that was a mess.
Down below
I'll need a link please.@Shippy456
@Shippy456 anytime !!!

@Hedero , One more thing. Please use @WSindustries ‘s engine nozzle he so kindly made specifically for this plane. Reply if you need a link.
Imma use this, thank you! @WSindustries
@WSindustries ah. Ok.
this one
@Shippy456 oh ok.
1: Go ahead.
2: to give it weight so the vertical drift wouldn’t be so... unwieldy. @Hedero
Actually I was talking about the main landing gear, not the nose gear if that's what you mean. Also, is there a reason you made the center fuselage block so heavy? @Shippy456
Fair enough. Be sure to xml the proper fuselage so no explosions happen. I put it back there, bc, I was once told that, realistically, LG typically isn’t under the cockpit. @Hedero
Oh, speaking if the landing gear, would you mind if I moved the gear further forward? I wouldn't change the way the gear look, I would just change their location on the aircraft. I personally think it makes the aircraft look way cooler.@Shippy456
Please be aware that mirroring this plane will bug out the landing gear, don’t worry about it. @Hedero
Thank you! @Hedero
