@MegaFox here's a little tip that could be pretty cool: use fuselage blocks to make a hollow container, and put a flare dispensers inside of it. When you dispense the flares, they should get trapped inside the container, resulting in a smoke trail effect. You could use this to make it look like there's actually smoke coming out of the smoke-stacks on your ships!
This is called the Doppler Effect. The Doppler Effect is when soundwaves sort of, for lack of better term, overlap each other and form some interesting sounds. For instance, have you ever heard a Police Chaser or an Ambulance go rushing by with their sirens activated? You may notice that as it's coming towards you, it makes the generic sound effect of a siren. But as it passes you and drives off, you may notice that the sounds change in pitch. This is because as it drives towards you, you're receiving a lot more soundwaves being launched towards you, but as it drives off, they too will trail off because they aren't hitting you with as high of a frequency. This is more noticeable in SimplePlanes when you have slow motion activated. For instance, if you're flying a jet, it'll obviously be very loud. But it doesn't sound like the generic jet sound we're used to hearing when a jet aircraft flys overhead irl. This is because of the Doppler Effect:
If you're standing on the ground, stationary, and an aircraft flys overhead, you'll hear the engine sounds build up, and then trail off, much like the siren of a Police Chaser or an ambulance like I explained earlier. However, most of the time we're playing SimplePlanes, we are in either Chase or Orbit View. Because of this, we're in a fixed position around the plane, and we hear a constant jet sound that doesn't change in pitch or tone, since the camera goes the same speed as your aircraft. Now, I explained earlier that this is more noticeable in slow motion. Why? Well for starters, the soundwaves travel in slow motion as well as everything else, so if a jet engine is running, and you're next to it, it'll sound like a constant hum or roar, since you aren't moving. However, if you zoom out with the camera, and then zoom back in very quickly, you are running into every soundwave created by the jet engine, except due to the fact that you're moving the camera very quickly, the soundwaves are still in slow motion, and therefore you'll be running into each soundwave at a much higher frequency than normal, which results in a warped, almost dial-up sound effect. Those dilapidated, warped sounds you hear coming from the Jet-Engines on your, and I will say, beautiful airliner, are the result of the soundwaves hitting and being received at the camera's location at a higher or lower frequency.

If you've read this entire thing, pat yourself on the back.
@BlackhattAircraft according to BogDanX and randomusername, I'm part of the dark side now. I'll just use my newly granted powers to make you Platinum, don't worry!
@Jim1the1Squid gold is still a notable accomplishment, I was ecstatic when I hit gold! Funny enough, now that I think about it, I was more excited when I hit Gold than when I hit Platinum yesterday, I guess it was because I was still kinda new and didn't know exactly what I was doing, lol.
Seeing that you were going only 37 mph, I can only imagine how fun it would be to use this thing for extremely difficult landings, what exactly is the takeoff and landing distance? (The distance it takes to takeoff and land)
@Nachog that's fine if you don't know what to write, just type what the controls are, for instance, what Activation Group does what, how to fly it, proper physics settings, etc.
@Strikefighter04 When you think about it, it's kinda funny how in nearly every single cartoon, or any show directed to a younger audience, whenever ANYTHING is falling, flying, or doing things related to that, it plays the JU-87 Siren. And all that time when we were younger, we all just thought it was a funny little sound. When in reality, it was the sound of a feared war machine striking terror into the hearts of countless military soldiers and random civilians.
You know, childhood!
While the siren on the JU-87 was meant to lower enemy morale and scare them even more than they already were, and while yes, it did do exactly that, I can't imagine that they didn't think atleast once that it was a pretty cool sound. I mean, I probably would. Then again, if I were a soldier serving in that war, I would probably start shaking with fear every time that siren screamed with the sound of a bomb exploding shortly after.
You can XML Mod any missile to have it's preferred target switched, for instance, you can actually change a Cleaver's target type to Air-To-Air, making for some immensely powerful Anti-Air Missiles!
We just had an update a few months ago, so probably not for another year, unfortunately. Don't worry though, ususally the updates are good enough that they're worth the wait!
This looks awesome! Flys like a dream too, definitely one of your best aircraft!
+1@Tarquez the yellow fuselage is hollow plastic: The rubber-band is inside the plastic to protect it!
+1@ThePilotDude it's even worse at Death's Gorge at Wright airport.

Lol, this is great!
+1Awesome design!
+1Is nobody going to mention the lack of an ATC at Wright Airport?
+1don't make me commit 9-11 two, Electric Boogaloo.
+1Lmao jk
@belugasub like we promised, your airdrop of 100T of goldfish crackers are here!
+1Safest aircraft in the world, huh?
+1laughs in Boeing 717
@randomusername yus 🍪🍪🍪
+1@TitanIncorporated I enchanted it with Sweeping Edge CDXX!
+1@Tarquez really?! I haven't tried that yet, thanks for the advice!

Can you use this in your next video plz?

+1@Tarquez I feel as much pain as the average capability-limited iOS user can.
+1So evidently, a lot.
@Tarquez it's a shame iOS can't XML Mod, I know how to XML Mod, but I don't have any devices that support XML Modding.

Yep. That doesn't sound wrong at all.
