Convair B-36J-III (Unfinished)

Auto Credit Based on LieutenantSOT's Convair B-36J-III Beta VII

Hello, y'all!
It has certainly been quite a while and I wanted to bring something. About 1.6 years ago, the update was released for SimplePlanes 1.11. I wanted to try and expand my skills out for a major project, and I decided I'd use my number one ambition when it comes to aviation - the B-36 Peacemaker. Of course, I saw and tested AsteroidBook's B-36 and I loved it. I did a ton of research and tried making an amazing one. I used outdated skills and I did not know the new system well, and all to say, this is not the best representation I wanted or can do.

So, I am going to do better. I have a model of a B-36 that is 3 feet wide, and I also have pictures of the one in Dayton, Ohio. So this is a testament to my abilities. This still is arguably a great build, just not the best. I intended to do a full interior and everything, but its not worth it. But I worked far too long on this to not post it. If you'd like to work on to it and finish it, feel free! Please just give me credit. Either way, I am going to start on a new build completely from scratch. No inspiration from other builds, 100% me, with my newfound knowledge and building skills. I have 3 projects rn, so I'm finishing the first two before I start on this once again, but I will bring everything full-force into the one after this


Anyways, with that out of the way, here are some features and the controls

Features:

  • Reversable Props
  • Working suspension
  • nukessssss
  • Fancy Bomb Bay Doors
  • Fancy Rear-Facing Gun
  • Realistic flap-based control surfaces
  • Thicccccc

Controls:

  • 1-3 is for the props
  • 8 is for lights
  • Either 4 or 7 is for the jets, there is a like 20-second start-up, and those damn jets took forever to finish and make look good
  • VTOL up for forwards thrust, VTOL down for reverse props (useful for landing, like on the real one)

I hope y'all enjoy!!!

    Once Again, I am sorry guys. This was certainly not my best, alas, I intend on making this brand spanking new and completely starting from scratch. Right now, I am working on an IAR 80 on my own, and a TBF-1C with my buddy PapaKernels. After that, I am going to start on a YMF-1A Airacuda and then on the official B-36J-III Peacemaker that I truly want to make the greatest build I have ever made. With that, I wish you all an amazing day

    @TheSonOfThunder Lol. I'm gonna try to get back into the game. I've got a few ideas and prototypes stocked up for, since like the past year. Had a lot of crud (look at me being PG lol) in my life I've had to deal with first.

    Or rather, VTOL up

    @Talon7192 did you VTOL forward? You need to get the props to stabilize. They don't automatically control their pitch

    @HazerzIsBack you asked for a tag on my forum post!
    .
    Also, the reason I didn't finish this is becayse I lost inspiration and realized later on that I'd have to rebuild pretty much everything to make it accurate and smooth, so I'm just scrapping the project and starting anew
