  • On the brink . . . 1.8 years ago

    A long time has past since you posted that comment lol. Interests change and that's what really happened way back 2 years ago. I'm just checking in and tending to a little nostalgia at the moment. I got burnt out completely trying to make accurate replicas that also had a realistic fight model back in 2020 during my height. But I got really discouraged when I found out I pretty much needed to manipulate it using the then-new Funky Trees; ever since then I struggled to fully use it. It frustrated me very much how I needed to go to extreme lengths to get my projects to perform what they possibly would have flown like. The last project I was working on was a remake of the Alekseyev I-216 heavy interceptor with two 76mm NS-76 cannons. Got the fuselage and front guns done and had just the canopy, wings, and landing gear left. I also had massive ambitions to create the sister project of my M-31, the Myasishchev M-32 with a single massive FAB-9000 bomb. I really wanted to fly and work on military prototypes like I was doing here as a real world career. However, I realized that it would most likely be out of the question and I would have to be a civilian pilot instead which has never interested me. I've gone full circle and have ended up back in the same interests I had as a younger kid which happens to be semi trucks and especially farming. There has been a couple times where I've mustered up some confidence to try and pick the game up, but they've been shot down as all my procedures and understanding of the building techniques are 2 years old. It would take a very long time to try and understand something I'm not 100% gung-ho about. I suppose I should try to not forcefully resurrect a past hobby, so I'll probably let this one quietly die out and reflect on the great memories I had and created. @WinsWings

  • Update v1.12.123/124 - SimplePlanes & SimplePlanes VR 2.8 years ago

    That’s a very good idea for things like the B-36’s original landing gear of two stupidly thick tires. @Destroyer08

  • Zheleznyakov Zhe-1 ''Sturmovik'' 2.8 years ago

    I hope you realize that this airplane is strikingly similar to the Ilyushin TsKB-60; the first one to receive the designation IL-6. I almost wonder if you took inspiration from it!

  • Myasishchev M-31 2.9 years ago

    No. It wasn’t even produced. This airplane did not progress past the scale modeling stage. And no passenger version was even considered as the only purpose in mind was a heavy bomber. @Yosann

    Thank you man!

  • Sukhoi P - 1 ( Perekhvatchuk-1 ) 3.1 years ago

    Interests change. Been doing a lot of other things and because of this school year, I have had only a couple hours every day to do games. Been thinking of building airplanes again, but it’s hard when you don’t have a lot of time. @Trainzo

    I’m doing fair. My interest for the game has fallen, and I’ve taken back to my previous fantasies such as Farming Simulator. I’ve been searching for ways to get back inspiration, but no results have come up sadly. @Trainzo

    @PANZERDOG

  • "You still here?" Well, yes and no . . . 4.0 years ago

    Its not the fact that its tough to build. This one is almost stupidly easy. Its just personal issues and a lack of interest at the moment.

  • He’s gone 4.0 years ago

    Sort of. I’m still active on the site, just that I don’t really have input to build :(

  • What Makes A Plane Successful? 4.0 years ago

    For me it’s primarily pilot’s opinions. For example the LaGG-3 I consider a respectable aircraft in terms of firepower, but from pilots’ opinion it is completely useless garbage.

  • Rattlesnake racetrack? 4.0 years ago

    Too mountainous for AI most likely. The 4 hairpin corner section is kinda challenging.

    @Zarya

  • Tupolev 'Project 489' 4.0 years ago

    Just anywhere on the airplane. I recommend on the main fuselage and nudged into it so it cannot be seen.

    It is classified as an airplane as it can fly above water.

  • Tips for aspiring builders or replica builders :) [Long one lol] 4.1 years ago

    I think I might have one of the hardest jobs here as I only make paper projects/prototypes. Most of the time I have to go to hell and back to get a decent blueprint; not to mention if one still exists.

    I find making the flight model very frustrating considering that the stuff I deal with is almost raw design with no prototypes which means probably little wind tunnel testing/design improvements to the design. I just make the wing very close to the real design (like jamesPLANESii) and suck up results. My M-31’s flight behavior frustrated me extensively as the wing shape caused lots of landing problems. But fixing that was almost hopeless cause guess wat, no flight data.

    In spite of all the problems I have to face, I still think I do a good job.

  • COLD WAR Challenge [CLOSED] 4.1 years ago

    My project was originally designed in 1947, does it still count?

  • COLD WAR Challenge [CLOSED] 4.1 years ago

    I’m entering! Going to introduce a little diversity here with something from Alekseyev.

  • E-25 4.1 years ago

    It’s concealment mechanics are ridiculously broken. It won’t loose camo values at all when it fires.

    Ahh ok. Cause I’m doing a variant of the Alekseyev I-215, and from the description it probably won’t count.

    I don’t really care about requesting you to build an airplane as I could build it myself in probably better quality. Thanks for your time ;)
