@Flash0of0green, the proper shortening of “synchronization” is “sync”. As a military pilot and a History major specializing in Military History, I can tell you we never used “sync gear” as short for “synchronization gear”. Besides, once I read your thread, I then thought I might try to be light in my tone, I thought it was a witty comment, you took it as something snarky and totally the wrong way. Guess I should be more careful in my tone when commenting, sheesh.
Is it your plane or did you download someone else’s creation? If it’s yours...weird. If it’s someone else’s, try activating all the activation groups, then use the throttle. Sometimes users bind the engines to the activation groups. 2. Read the descriptions for those aircraft you download...they’re useful. Mostly. 3. If neither of those two solutions work, well, you might have a glitch. Suggest you restart the program or your computer.
@thefish53 no, absolutely not, don’t resort to gyros unless you’re trying to hover, then they’re absolutely needed. Using gyros on conventional aircraft only masks handling problems and makes it difficult to turn.
Looks good, it’s a bit nose heavy, why did you not make the flaps work using VTOL and activate the trim for the horizontal tail? Flies pretty well otherwise, takeoffs are not a problem, just need to use rudder for directional control during the takeoff roll; lands nicely, good work.
Pretty good build, I like it. Really, not that tough to land, recommend 5% power and 175-180 mph to stabilize on a 3 degree glide path, idle when the runway fills the windscreen and flare to maintain level just above the runway. Watch the ballooning, but this one doesn’t balloon too severely. Let it settle gently and she lands just fine.
I don’t get it, it’s pretty to look at, but only goes just under 300 mph (255 KIAS) at low level with the J15 (small jet engine). I swapped it out for the J50–3x more power, plus added more fuel, but it’s actually 50 mph slower! Something with either the intakes or exhaust, not sure what's going on here. Pretty build, though.
@Flash0of0green, my fault for conveying the wrong tone, my apologies.

It’s actually “synchronization gear”, thought I was reading my about new submarine parts here!
Nice job fixing the roll issues, now following!
Beautiful, as always. I really like your build style.
Well, it’s huge. And very fast (2500 mph+ at 60,000’). Nice work.
@blueshirtandjeans whoops didn’t see the blue text, sorry. I downloaded and it worked normally for me. What device are you using?
@blueshirtandjeans which post is it? Can you post a link — ! [Descriptive Name] (link) — remove the spaces between the “!”, “[]” and “()”
A 92’ long fighter? Quite beefy, sir!
Amazing, flies great...a little swift on the acceleration, but to be expected. Plus, my iPhone 8 runs it just fine!
Ok, I don’t think my iPhone 8 can handle this...but i’m gonna try...
Only two upvotes?? That’s not right, here’s a Spotlight!
Very nice, quite quick and a joy to takeoff and land (once I figured out to touchdown at 100 mph or slower) 😀
@niggelas100 very cool, the A-4 is one of my all time favorites.
@niggelas100, check this out!
I landed this thing on the Beast first try...very stable down to 72 mph on final, might be a keeper for me!
Looks great, you absolutely don’t suck at fighters, keep at it.

@BogdanX geez the forums really are dead, not one answer, any idea on this question?
Nice!

Fantastique, tres bien! Gorgeous, I’ve found two new builders to follow this morning, great work!
Some very nice shaping and attention to detail here, especially the canopy and the nacelles...you have a new follower here!
Beautiful work here! Shape and proportions right on!
I love builds like this, aircraft I barely knew existed!
This is AWESOME...best Foxbat on the site! Lots of detail, great handling, this is as good a Foxbat as your Blackbird which I recently spotlighted!
Are these only capable of air to ground, or can they fire air to air?
Hey! Good success with this build, 27 upvotes so far!
There should be an ILS to cope with all the bad weather, night and rain you guys want to see!

Flies great! Don’t think I’ve seen another FW200 on the site.
Nice build, flies a bit more easily with the trim enabled. Perfect Soviet stars as well, well done, Comrade 👍
@Stampede yeah, I guess it is!
Not to nitpick, the suspension is great, but it’s too soft, the main tires shouldn’t toe in that much, or at all.
Nice 4x4
Nice build.
Nice custom landing gear! 😜
Nice, the Buffasaurus...the greatest American bomber! Happy Thanksgiving and God Bless the Good ‘Ole USA!
👍
Flies very nicely, like the cockpit.
This is a ridiculously great tail...
@BogdanX agreed, recognized it immediately when I saw it, not cool at all.
I have not seen a truly great build on the site for more than a week, this is one of the better of late despite its faults
Now I can fly Vietnam air battles against my F-4!

Nice work. Very Soviet-y, looks like something the USSR would build because they wanted to be first, then use to haul cattle to the Far East!
+1The “Search” function under “Airplanes” is a very useful function.
A very nice, languid, relaxing flying experience.
Yeah, are you going to build the gear or use the stock gear. Also, what’s your part count so far?
