@XxRxX yeah am on PC, I've been looking at a lot of other builds like Wright Flyer replicas but am just not sure what the special sauce is. Figuring out what leniency I can give in way of raw numbers for sake of gameplay. (This one I saw for example had a 700hp engine but still managed to keep the historical flight speed of 37kph)
@HuskyDynamics01 lol did not even realize this was listed as an entry...very odd, must have just been on a file that somehow was linked as a successor. Disregard this XD
@GrFrog Simple fix, the little red plate above the additional headlights and below the grill has a weird connection, just disconnect and auto-reconnect and it should fix the CENTRE OF LIFT.
Really nice car though.
@Griffon1 Spot on, the guy I built it for handed me a picture of a Littorio class Airship. Sadly, haven't played PW yet so I was unaware of the complete shape of the vessel, leading to only some level of inspiration. The whole sparkle was based on those embers though lol.
@TheHaggisBasher I am planning to make a more spaceship accurate version of this, but is there any specific reason you need the 1.11 parts removed? The update has been out for quite a while...plus, in the worst case you could modify it yourself
@Ap12909 sure. I did have a few in a backlog, but since then I have been gifted NVIDIA Geforce now, so I can play high fidelity games on my craptop again. I've been putting more time into the likes of War Thunder and games I can play with my mates. But recently I was convinced to play SP for a bit again, I had this plane (and the other one linked in the post) in the backlog still, so I thought eh, why not upload em.
One more build is ready to be uploaded though.
Thanks for the interest I guess, wouldn't have imagined anyone would've noticed my absence tbf.
Lol would've been first if life hadn't distracted me, uploaded a modification as well, albeit a tad more altered than @LucasSBaru design. Now you have 2 working alternatives XD
@airlinerbuilder this one has no beta parts in it should work regardless of the warning. I would*ve thought it would at least show the original version as a direct successor, as it is...
@airlinerbuilder weird, is right underneath the winner on my end, maybe as I used the beta version? Looks like there were some nice builds in here nontheless
Well....this is....different. Our internal systems cannot even render the model properly...budget cuts.
How did you even our base aircraft? The competition was ages ago. Not that I'm complaining...
@RAAF yeah, based off his wii sports resort map he did I thought I might as well ask. If I had a decent PC and enough technical know how to do it myself I would
Not entirely sure if this is the right place for this kind of request, but are you able to port over maps from the game War Thunder? The maps in the Air Arcade mode are of particular interest, as they tend to have the more interesting terrain. Alternatively, could a Gibraltar Map be doable?
Let me just hopefully bump this post as I didn't really get a sound answer. Specifically the configuration of the main rotor and tail rotor in a conventional setup.
@MAHADI thanks for hosting the competition, I'm sure rating all those planes must've taken a long time XD Are you by any chance able to provide me with tips to improve upon this kind of design?
@Mobius1Cyka Thanks for the competition. I saw you were able to give other participants specific feedback to improve, can you remember what led to point loss with this plane?
@Diloph For this case I admittedly got some external help with the coding. Not even a SP player, as the code is purely algebra and I suck at maths. I had an idea, knew the conditions, but I got some help to make the formula
@Mrtrance negative on that, I am not good at making cockpits. Plus my craptop couldn't handle that. If you want to make one as an aftermarket upgrade feel free to
I live 30 mins away from the Hockenheimring, and once a year they orgenise the "Hockenheim Historics", a race event in commemoration of the late Jim Clark who crashed in a similar car to the one you recreated. It's a great event for old-school petrolheads, where they actually race in old-timers and cars that are not compliant with current FIA regulations.
Just a tidbit of trivia, really neat car tho.
@DanDaFreakinMan Contra rotating Rotors do allow you to make your frame more compact, but considering how twitchy even this build can be, I do prefer a small tail rotor for more stability. It's a fine balancing act with the used power.
@Shippy456 I suppose you could fit a droid brain in there, but the pilot him/herself would have access to a state f the art HUD and Camera visibility system for complete battlefield awareness!
Such a cute little Choppa! The controls are kinda twitchy, but I guess this thing was specifically tailored for extremely well-trained spec ops, not some businessman....the design is a tad nose heavy though, and especially with such a small craft it makes quite a difference. Maybe try lining up the COM and the COT next time for a more stable platform. I absolutely dig the design though, reminds me of a Microchopper I made before 1.8

@HuskyDynamics01 have already entered with the EE Auctioneer, must have merely confused some files, my bad

My old man served as a flight engineer on these during his time in the RAF, nice build!

Deja Vu

Pictures look good, how did you manage to get 3 in flight pictures in the upload? I used to use a mod for that but it seems to be broken... :/
+1Any chance of this getting fixed? Was really convenient...
Simple is in the name of the game

@airlinerbuilder sorry to bug ye, but some feedback for my design would be appreciated too lol
P45 next?
+3@Cabbage17 Thank you for your patience and your ongoing support :)
+1@merrickdaig thank you for your feedback. A few "quirks" in the handling were maintained to emulate the difficult handling of the historic HE 162.
Ok in all seriousness, I'd recommend not janking the stick around at low speeds, try using trim to level it out instead.
We will gladly refund all repair costs.

@Mastermind1941 @_PolarSpirit yeah It was based on that, however, some details turned out different. Glad the spirit of it came across though
Did I miss something namewise? Looks cute tho

@Mobius1Cyka cheers
@SuwongsoMotorwerks thanks for adding the link in. Call me a twat but could you tell me how to add links on this site? XD
A very large triplane indeed, I could land mine on top of that XD
Got a fix for it here

Did they ever get around to the supersonic drag calculation?

so much to may be winning lol

@teodor99 glad you like it1 And thanks for the spotlight :)
@Modderblyat originally designed as a destroyer, I realized I screwed up the scaling, so it's classified as a corvette.

Neat to see the improvements over time, especially with the usage of fuselage blocks! Nice and sleek and hoo boi did you make this a fast one!
