@PlaneFlightX watched your video, I’ll watch the rest soon. This is just the sort of teaching I need to take advantage of variables and save on activators. I wish I could have spent longer making this plane more interactive but if I did I would probably never publish it.
ASEA may be interested in a joint venture in the future. Rocket designs will likely be internal projects, but a collab on a satellite or probe might be of interest. @CommanderSword
I guess they’re most famous for their use for Dominie transporting the female pilots back and forth between the Spitfire factories and Spitfire outfitters. No instruments were added in the spitfires when they rolled off the line back then so it was a dangerous job to fly them. @MEERKAT978 @GritAerospaceSolutionsLTD @Treadmill103
Yeah, I couldn’t get enough friction to stop movement with the parking brake alone. If you use the regular brake too just to stop the plane initially, the parking brake will do the rest. @CRJ900Pilot
Bit harsh really. It’s a 2.4 year old build way before the gyro was introduced to the game. At the time it worked very well, so I can only assume you’re not used to handling a helicopter that requires some amount of using the joystick. @SSPanther
There is some 3D thrusting in the form of hidden VTOL thrusters, but they’re only apparent at low speeds. I know this isn’t the same as seeing the nozzles move so I will consider making an update in the future. @VeldigTroli
I probably spent about a 10 days on it, the gears were the most difficult part. I want to add more details and features but it was taking too long to build. @F104Deathtrap
Thanks. I noticed that too, somehow connected to another part while I was making my changes and I hadn’t noticed until several days after I uploaded. @lemoose
I just come on now and then to try other planes, but then when I have the urge to build for long enough to finish something, this is the result. I’ll still be on off but i’m technically always around. @Planefun
@TheLatentImage apologies for the late reply, yes there is an addition to the family this last year which is why I haven't been around much. Not sure she will like SimplePlanes though!
@BaconEggs @Ambarveis I'm alive and kicking. I am working on something but it will be a while longer before it's ready, just been enjoying my Christmas break with my family and little one.
@WalrusAircraft yeah, come back to build, all the new improvements have given me back the spark.

+2@JoshuaW that would be appreciated, just starting to get the hang of FT but I have a lot to learn.
Thanks for the comments everyone, appreciated and nice to be back. I’m building more planes so expect something new soon.
Thanks @PxVector I’ll sort that in an update
That’s my dog Alfie, he’s 11. @FastDan
+1Bery nice. Btw, working windscreen wiper: https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/q31NL9/ASEA-Offworld-Explorer. 😁

Oh bloody hell, I didn’t spot that. @EternalDarkness
I will in SR2. @CommanderSword
@Kerbango @Potato21 @BaconRoll He’s no good to me dead!
+2Cool. Would be interesting o see. It fires bombs so if you hit anything too close the explosion can damage the tank. @Aaron2107
Sorry, I forgot to add the link before I released it, but too late to change it now. @jamesPLANESii
Activator 7 though, lol.
+2Based off the MiG-21 A-144 prototype? I was just in a discussion with someone today about it oddly. Nice build.

+1A mobile app on iOS called Over. I use the free version. @yoshicraze
+1Thanks, the collage is a bit of a habit now since I did it on the Grob. @yoshicraze
Excellent craftsmanship. Favourited.
True that. I love the film though. @RamboJutter
Looks accurate , he has P-80 shooting star wings so to be 1:1 scale should be about 11 metres wide, technically. 😀
Thanks @A3 must be very cool to see these IRL
+1Looks great. A little unstable in flight, susceptible to flat spins, but fun if you know how to control it.
Good work. Could do with some improved pitch and less roll, and it looks great.
+1Thanks for the info. A shame I hadn’t figured that out before releasing it. Never mind, i’ll remember for next time. @Benkelmans
Thank you @TTHHSSSS
Well deserved, I especially love the detail around the engine housing. @F104Deathtrap

Thank you @Planefun , I really appreciate your comment.
I did it all with a free version of an app on iPhone called Over. You can replicate most technical on Photoshop or similar equivalent. @Benkelmans

Sorry james, i’m Not a Dev but I think it will come out is either Q3 or Q4 2018 and it’s a new game, not just an updated one. @JamesMakePlanes

Hopefully more active too, i’ve been a bit absent for the last year. I guess I just needed a break. @SpiritusRaptor
Because it’s true, I haven’t been on for what feels like centuries. @JoshuaW
Nice work. The gyro stabilised turret is awesome.
Thanks. I noticed that too, somehow connected to another part while I was making my changes and I hadn’t noticed until several days after I uploaded. @lemoose
@JetKwan no plans to change the wing load. Wing load on the real plane is about 350kg/m3.
It’s hard to know for sure. I go through phases, and I don’t have as much time as I did before. @jamesPLANESii
Definitely, very excited for it. @Planefun

Great feedback. It’s been a while, i didn’t know you could set a rotator to activate on input. I’ll look into that. @EternalDarkness
Just like mine except mines the 123d and 2010 shape.
@TheLatentImage apologies for the late reply, yes there is an addition to the family this last year which is why I haven't been around much. Not sure she will like SimplePlanes though!
+2Incredible, even down to the little details.
Thanks @Wakescar the cockpit kept the parts down, but those scaled up cockpit parts are heavy. Had to balance it out with fuel.
I was working on my new BB-8 last night, you beat me to it. This is awesome, and works really well.
@WeeBabySeamus loving the update, the gyro is awesome. Works great on the snowspeeder.
