@WiniMii I simplified everything bar the afterburner and managed to get it down to 562 parts (the afterburner section is over 260 parts alone btw). Hope that's good enough. There's a 300 part version that has the AB removed.
Looks beautiful - very nicely detailed!. Your next steps’ll probably making some better landing gear (try reducing brake torque, it’ll help with the spontaneous combustion)
@ChrisPy I know 7 tonnes is incredibly low for a bomber, but I have to keep it down to make the gear I want - If I want realistic mass, I'd have to increase the mass of the wheels, shocks, all the moving parts. It would just be a mess to make it work reliably (It would be decimated on any high-G manoeuvre, and SP rotator physics gets very wonky at high masses). I built this aircraft with realistic acceleration and flight performance in mind; I ignored the mass. I've tried making reliable custom gear at realistic masses before, it was just too much hassle and not worth the time.
And I love the sound!
My loaded/practical weight is 7000kg, the negative value is just from the game calculating the theoretical value of an empty fuel tank, which is incorrect as the fuel tank is massless, and would never reach that value. I know the plane sucks up a lot of fuel (7 decorative, 3 practical engines) but I just increased the fuel capacity to counter it. And the sound of a prop on a delta-wing jet bomber would drive me mad xD
Sorry if I’m coming off a little hostile btw @ChrisPy
@ChrisPy I use high physics and don't have any issues with the gear (is it spazzing out for you?). I know the high-mass gear trick, but it causes the gear to rip off when I turn, and I'm not really focusing on realistic weight, only speed and manoeuvrability - which is why the engines are so weak, irl it would take a while to get up to Mach 1 and above. And wdym by the weight thing?
It’s an engine hidden inside that’s shrunk down, has a power multiplier of 0 and is only there for the sound. I use ‘Activate8’ as the input, and prefer the Blasto BFE300 as it has the best sound. @Tester15
Oh... the wheels breaking off at high speeds isn’t intentional. In fact I spent hours trying to prevent it. Not really sure why you would WANT it to break, but: SimplePlanes shock (suspension) pieces have a maximum distance they can stretch before breaking. Basically the shocks inside my wheels arm ‘give out’ from the high g-forces and break, causing the entire wheel to fly off. @Zoowarp

@Lennington
You can get it here, but it doesn’t have all the fancy gauges and things

Oh the weight’s only like that because I have a single massless fuel tank, and I like where my engines are right now @ChrisPy

@Mustang51
Pinged again because I had to remove the other one.
Literally amazing
Now, that is a name I'd never thought I'd read.
No problem, thanks! @Mrfoxus
Aren’t you the same guy that did my F4? Lol go right ahead :D @Mrfoxus
@Mrfoxus Never thought I'd see my plane in another game... looks great :D
+1That’ll be amazing! Go right ahead :D @Mrfoxus
Majority of the weight is in the baseplate. Remove that and it should be fine. @XPlane10ProFlier
Great! All you need now are a couple jet engines and you’re ready to go. Probably.
Yeah go ahead! I’d love to see what you’ll come up with @Kaiteniisan
Only use the grey coloured fuselage block in front of the engine to detach and attach to other things (move around). @Farm249
It’s Emperor Cheese to you @Alta2809
+1Thank you, professor Alta for that wondrous and informative lecture. @Alta2809
Absolutely beautiful
Huh I just realised it has a pretty cool suspension system.
Where’s my cheese!?
Does look pretty good tho
Yeah I use that on my modern missiles, this design is quite old. @JA311M
@Lennington
I think he was just correcting your spelling, it’s VTOL not VOTL. @CallsignArtemis
My god the last picture is adorable
+2My iPad Pro runs it perfectly too, just some people may use lower end devices. @laosunjieshuo
Saw your comment on my video - this is amazing!
I added in an ‘idle’ engine.

wow i may need this sometime!
Re-upload because I accidentally uploaded the wrong video
Here's the plane if you're interested.
Enjoy :)

+1Any specific part/mechanism you’re after? @Zoowarp
Here's the plane if you're interested.
Enjoy :)
Thank you :)
Thats a nice offer, but you don’t have to send me the book. Thanks for the gesture though! @grizzlitn
+1@Mustang51
@Lennington
Wow this was not what I was expecting, coming from Reddit.
Looks really cool :o
I do, but I’m not all that interested in using it :) @4rsh1
@4rsh1 lmao xD
A lot of pieces are required to make a good, custom nozzle.
Hey CrashburnHQ, I liked your aircraft enough I decided to make a wallpaper for you :D
Regular
Sepia
Use them as you like - enjoy :)
Ngl this looks pretty good.
Gratz on gold btw, last I looked at your profile you were still silver ;)
+1Wow this is excellent :D
Oh wow I've never thought of using VTOL control for two things at once :O
Here's the plane if you're interested.
Enjoy the video :)
Thank you :D @MasterKiryu
@KoutaSMHO
That was the idea ;) @Mustang51
