@jamesPLANESii I don't really like messing around with 3000mph planes pulling 800G turns and such...I try for realistic performance... you see I didn't even turn on my afterburner in this vid!
I enjoy these planes that have realistic handling - but what really sold me was the view from the cockpit and the moving camera with control inputs! Really feels like you're in there yanking the plane around and feeling the Gs!
Neat plane! Try using structural wings (at least the large portion near the fuselage without control surfaces) so the wings don't flex so much when you pitch.
Upvotes are worthless - that is all. Make planes for fun, make them well for your pride, and share them to entertain others... but fishing for votes that have no value is insanity.
@Hyperloop I'd love to hear your input on this build, your jets have been an inspiration behind some of my recent work, I'd like to hear if you have any thoughts on this.
Note to players, I'm interested in hearing how you find the controllability of this airplane. Please let me know if you're able to make it do what you want, if you're having any problems, what platform you're playing on, and what device you're using for control inputs (eg. Keyboard, mouse as joystick, joystick, on-screen joystick, etc). This will help me further improve this and future aircraft to make these advanced flight characteristics more user-friendly and easy to learn. -Av
@TehNewDucky You're a sensitive one, aren't you. My response was not intended to be confrontational, but an agreement. Also, where I'm from calling someone "bud" isn't a jab, but a word of kindness. But alas..... I guess you can take it and shove it, bud.
Sorry bud.... the same problem exists everywhere in life. Look on YouTube, available for free are MIT lectures, seminars on higher mathematics, physics, literature and the arts... free exposure to some of the most brilliant minds living on this planet today. You know how many views those videos get? Sometimes as few as a hundred.
Know how many views Justin Beiber's songs get, or idiotic "vine" videos, or equally useless trash? Billions.
This is not a SimplePlanes problem - the developers cannot fix a problem with society, it's up to the user base to decide to stop supporting rubbish. When kids aren't rewarded for mediocrity, they might start producing quality, but not until then.
@IronOverlord the pitch and roll are very...VERY smooth. could you tell me what all you did to do this? it looks like you use a rotator for the elevators, but also use them for roll. 15 degree range of motion at 100% speed, that right? my one critique is the pitch rate seems just a touch slow. overall nice job!
@MeawkQ it is a P-51
@t8erh8er thanks! I just want to fly it, but alas so much still to do
This is so cool!

@spefyjerbf thank you very much.
@Mumpsy thanks!
@Mumpsy Thanks! It's the first time I've done a paint job on one of my planes, other than coloring the fuselage.
@Stingray doesn't that just fire them without them locking on? They make rockets if you want unguided ordnance!
@MailboxIsMyGender awesome! Hope you enjoyed it. I'm new at editing video.

Your canards are...rotating the wrong way? Cool jet anyways. -Av
Beautiful aircraft.
the handling is so fantastic...thanks for this

so you painted someone else's airplane and uploaded it?
This is a work of art. I just wish it didn't 'splode when rolled at high airspeed.
very good looking plane
you can lift the nose off the ground with the nozzles alone rofl..just "pitch up" on the runway
glad i didn't start this project - had considered building one but this one is great!
Fantastic model, well done.
Nice jet!
@MrTaco thanks...but did the rotator work out for you?
@MrTaco As requested
i went to your link but couldn't find any dogfighting videos
no dogfighting was seen this day
looks cool!
https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/4CRl9o/5000-horsepower-props @PanzerkampfwagenMausLP let me know if these work for you
+1https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/yMgU97/Colored-Exhaust made this for you @MrTaco
@MasterManufacturing thanks for the constructive input.

pretty awesome. too bad there's nothing worth carpet bombing in the current game...
@WNP78 Boom. My thoughts exactly. Never Apple, never again.
@FlipposMC Totally aware of navaids in real life, this map made me think there were some mod out there with beacons in SP. Sad now...
What are the beacons?
Great job! Maneuverable, stable, and the weapons fire at useful trajectories! One of my favorite water vehicles on this site.
fun ride
i recommend you read this thread for your single-engine question:
http://www.airliners.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=252725
Short answer - you're not going to find much in the single-engine world with wing spans that large.
maybe im not understanding how this thing is supposed to work, but throttle to 100% then pitching just makes it get wobbly then flip and explode
Very nice. Stable.
cockpit view is a deal breaker for me.. otherwise nice plane
@foxythegamer12 awesome! thanks!
140ish on amazon, worth it to me because i play several flight/space sim games
its the saitek x52 pro
Lol
