@FrogmasterAereonautics The wings are a bit too long and too narrow. Other than that, very nice and detailed. :) I also like that you gave it that blue underbelly paint, which the russian navy uses. Though the MiG-21 was never used there and never had such an underbelly paintjob. :D
Well, if you looked at it like that, the F-22 would also be a 4++ generation fighter, as it was designed in the 90's and completely relies on 90's tech. It can't even carry the new AIM-9X Sidewinders, while even older planes like the F/A-18 and F-16 can, just like the F-35. Experts (who actually have to do with the F-22 in their job) say that it needs a modernization program as soon as possible to remain useful. Most people don't care about that.
@DeezDucks I also think the real one looks just halfway done. The tiger liveries of american jets look far better. But I love those eyes on the canards and how they pop up after landing when they're braking. :D
@DeezDucks There's just one little mistake I have noticed on your nice livery. The eyes of the tiger normally sit on the top of the canards and face forwards when they are angled fully downwards for braking. And normally not the whole plane is painted like that. Besides that it's a very nice design :D
And also I have made a little bit of progress on my one. Very much time was spent in getting the shape and proportions of fuselage and cockpit right. Now I am on one of the hardest parts to do with SimplePlanes-parts; Intakes. :D
I'm using real technical drawings as reference by the way. :D
@ShatterFox I've seen several, but none of them looks scale, so I am doing one myself. :) The best one is probably the Cinnamon Tiger one by DeezDucks, but even that doesn't look completely like the real thing, though it's still a very good plane. All these small details on the Gripen are pretty hard to replicate and will require a lot of XML-editing I guess.
It's going to be as detailed as my MiG-21Bis replica or even a bit more than that.
@Ryanthemaster A fictional replica of a realistic replica? And more guns? o.O Well, it would be a modification, so it's okay. And also if you're building a replica of my plane, then you'll have to build one from scratch anyway, otherwise it wouldn't be a replica. :D
@Thehtmguy You really hate me, ain't you? :D
@Challenger I got you. :)
@Carol8 Alright, I love writing long descriptions (if it fits the creation). :D
These standard pies are all pretty much the same as those I've already got, so I have an idea of something more special. But I am working on several things right now. :)
@Halfstrike For most aircrafts yes, but as you can see on the picture, it clearly fits my MiG-21Bis! :D I've already tried the ones from the link on it and they work quite well, but explode sometimes and don't look very good.
6th highest rated of all creations. :3 More than halfway to gold. If the Saab JAS 39 will be a success like this, I'll have to prepare my gold celebration before release. :D
@Meawk It looks a bit flat and unspectacular, which doesn't fit it's capabilities. :) I guess more people will be attracted when you give it a design with more shapes and more details.
@Seeras Ich habe einen Blasto J50, zwei VTOL-nozzles und zwei VTOL-engines. ^^ VTOL-Antriebe haben im Game die höchste Beschleunigung. Die Leistung ist fast sofort voll da.
@AeroEngineering Underwing is even more unrealistic. I think we just have to wait until an engine with RATO inside comes out. Or try nudging two modded rockets into an engine somehow.
Here's one of the Dassault Mirage IIIS under the jet engine.
And the LC-130 Hercules.
Never mind, this one here looks pretty much like the one I found on a picture of the MiG-21 RATO.
@Seeras Jets sind in dem Fall aber besser. So 800-900 MPH kann man sicher durch bringen mit guter Manövrierbarkeit. Die Größe und Anordnung der Steuerflächen ist auf dem Kurs ziemlich entscheidend, ohne richtige Abstimmung macht die KI zu viele Fehler. Besonders die Kurven am Ende sind tückisch.
@Challenger But you need a heavy plane for that with high kinetic energy to not get thrown around. A smaller plane would need far more speed to have the same kinetic energy. :D
@Seeras Das Ding benutze ich gar nicht. Habe nur herausgefunden, dass das mein einziger 700+ MPH Racer ist, der durch Bandit Run kommt. Derzeit schwankt es so zwischen 1:34 und 1:40. Wie die KI halt gerade so drauf ist. :D Da kommen in manchen Kurven einfach irgendwelche Schlenker, die da sonst nie kommen oder direkt nach einem Ring wird nur noch nach unten gesteuert usw. :D Selbst mit 400 MPH prop Racern habe ich das Problem auf dem Kurs.
@RAF1 I didn't upload my final design to public. :D The chance is just too high that somebody would copy my idea. You have to wait until monday. :) It's a jet design by the way.
@calcifer302 ...I know that one already. Actually I used a similar one when I was moving from cookies to cakes, as the cookie I was trying to make turned out to be shaped like a pie...The cookie was a lie...
@Viper28 I just invented something that would help you, but I don't know if I should release it. It's too much of an advantage to just give it away. :D But first I have to come up with a design that can really make use of it. I'm laughing so hard everytime on startup just because of it. :D
Highest rated of the week now!!! :D
@Luke92778 Never heard of that. :p
@FrogmasterAereonautics The wings are a bit too long and too narrow. Other than that, very nice and detailed. :) I also like that you gave it that blue underbelly paint, which the russian navy uses. Though the MiG-21 was never used there and never had such an underbelly paintjob. :D
@Ryanthemaster No, I just mean by definition a replica doesn't contain the parts of the real thing, it's a complete re-build. :D Good luck on that!
@Squirrel The stealth coating also melts due to the high amount of drag at high speeds. It adds a lot to the maintenance cost.
Well, if you looked at it like that, the F-22 would also be a 4++ generation fighter, as it was designed in the 90's and completely relies on 90's tech.

Experts (who actually have to do with the F-22 in their job) say that it needs a modernization program as soon as possible to remain useful. Most people don't care about that.
I would love to have intakes in any shape and any size. The available two intakes are just not sufficient for most creations.
@DeezDucks I also think the real one looks just halfway done. The tiger liveries of american jets look far better. But I love those eyes on the canards and how they pop up after landing when they're braking. :D
Your's reminds me of the Eurofighter Typhoon.

@Thehtmguy You really hate me, ain't you? :D
@Challenger I got you. :)
It's getting better. :)
@Halfstrike No, I tried it out, it get's fully detached and then it can just wobble inside that box and sometimes it explodes while maneuvering. :D
@Carol8 Alright, I love writing long descriptions (if it fits the creation). :D
These standard pies are all pretty much the same as those I've already got, so I have an idea of something more special. But I am working on several things right now. :)

@Halfstrike I'll try making a smaller one with better shape with the smaller Inferno rockets. :)
It's awesome! :D
@Halfstrike It seems the trick is to keep the missile in a box like here :D
@FatNinja Most of your few builds are silver-worthy already. :)
But Apple products are completely restricted from beeing modified in any way. Just 9/10 for realism. :D
@Halfstrike Some guys managed to get the missiles to power on without launching them. You could stick one in there maybe. :)
Another copy. :/ Why are you doing this instead of creating your own great designs?
@AJosh92FS They're all sugar free, they just contain fuel and stainless steel. :)
MiG-29 is the Fulcrum, an air superiority multirole fighter. This is the MiG-25 Foxbat, an interceptor. :)
6th highest rated of all creations. :3 More than halfway to gold. If the Saab JAS 39 will be a success like this, I'll have to prepare my gold celebration before release. :D
@calcifer302 I would have to place wings around and ontop of the pie to make it fly properly, but that's not it's job. :D
@Rocketguy777 I am not making prop planes primarily. They have too many disadvantages. I just have those for challenges and tournaments. :)
@calcifer302 All of my pies explode in the end. :D
@Meawk It looks a bit flat and unspectacular, which doesn't fit it's capabilities. :) I guess more people will be attracted when you give it a design with more shapes and more details.

Good job @Halfstrike ! :)
@MrBackstabby That MiG-21 is gonna look so ugly. :D

@MrBackstabby One day you'll see me upload a pie bomber.
It looks very huge. Couldn't it be smaller? It has to fit into the engine compartment of the MiG-21Bis. :/
@StogiepatrickMC What a nice joke. :D Nothing goes above 3:30.

@FullFruntall That's the Daredevil course, we are on Bandit Run. :)
@Flightsonic The one who was detected by the game to have crashed first loses and the other one wins.
@RAF1 I didn't upload my final design to public. :D The chance is just too high that somebody would copy my idea. You have to wait until monday. :) It's a jet design by the way.
I'm good to go as long as no aliens come by to pick up my VTOL-engines from the orbit. :D My craft fits the Unlimited-Class perfectly.
@Seeras @Baldocino Of course they would be! :D
@Baldovino No problem, I didn't forget about it anyway. :D
@Baldovino You forgot to mention me. I'm also in. :D
@Viper28 But I've got a workaround for that. (ง ͠° ͟ل͜ ͡°)ง
@Viper28 Also your VTOL-engine drops into the water, which counts as disqualification because your plane hit the water. :D
@calcifer302 ...I know that one already. Actually I used a similar one when I was moving from cookies to cakes, as the cookie I was trying to make turned out to be shaped like a pie...The cookie was a lie...
@Viper28 I just invented something that would help you, but I don't know if I should release it. It's too much of an advantage to just give it away. :D But first I have to come up with a design that can really make use of it. I'm laughing so hard everytime on startup just because of it. :D
@Viper28 It crashes on startup. I'm 1:51-ish right now.
