Important!

1) it freezes up the designer sometimes and takes a while to load, don't panic if that happens
2) launch it from the air

    @someonewithapetnamedpablo it's a ghost plane, it runs off the fears of pilots, not gas (which I mimicked by giving it infinite gas)

    This made my game crash, and another thing, why does it have so much gas?

    @FlyingPotato_131 and then here is my theory. I have a theory with two conclusion/aftermath about the lore of this plane. So it is unclear which one is the correct aftermath.
    .
    Main theory:
    Once, there was a prideful and cruel ace pilot during world war 2. In one stormy day, the ace was in an intense dogfight with the enemy ace which is even more superior than him. The HQ told him to retreat, but then he refuse. As his aircraft was in a critical situation, the swore that he would keep flying and never touch the land until he finally shoot down his enemy. But then, along with the thunderstorm strikes, his word became a pray and cursing himself and his aircraft as a final bullet striked them all and shoot the ace down. Doomed and become a spectral being that would never be able to land and have to roam the sky forever. Heck the landing gear also unable to working anymore. The ace was declared killed in action but the wreck and the ace himself were never found or even recovered. The ace had to feel the demise of the greatest sin that he ever did, to being prideful.
    .
    Conclusion number one:
    There is a pilot on the plane. The pilot is not dead, or not also alive, the ace pilot is now a spectral being which is a living corpse that flew the aircraft forever. Trapped in the limbo of the skies, unable to land. As he went down it just an infinite sky. Both of them were rotting in the air and never touch the land until the judgement day has come.
    .
    Conclusion number two:
    No one piloting the craft, the soul of the pilot is haunting and posessed the aircraft, so that's why you cannot see someone flying this plane. Rumor has it that the spirit of the ace pilot was fused with the plane and becoming the ghost plane, a wrecked aircraft that flying for eternity without somebody flying it.

    And so this plane has a ghost pilot in it? Or it's self-flying with no pilot?
