@SPsidearm it wouldn't do anything. Skirt just traps a pocket of air between the hull and the ground. The air is leaking under it constantly.
Also, skirts are made of thick rubber. You'd need something sharper than a nail.
L1nus commented about how certain user stole his parts without credit again and how said user is using upvotes to harass L1nus with notifications despite the two having blocked each other. Having seen screenshots of all that transpired, L1nus's comments were true.
Apparently current mod team or a member of it interpreted that as name-calling or something and banned L1nus for a few days.
I'm not sure, however, why comment section on L1nus's latest post got nuked instead of comments that may be perceived as harmful being removed. Seems like an overkill on behalf of the mods, but I guess they must have their reasons.
I hope this helps clear things up a bit. Please don't cause any drama over this, there's enough of it around here already.
Amazing work. Really smooth, amazingly detailed, overall great build. I'm not much of a car guy, so I'm not a good judge of handling, but build-wise, it's amazing.
Boat looks and runs great. Simplistic but very fun build. It could use a few more details. Hull is really smooth.
Advice: write the damned description. It's not hard. At least some Wikipedia copy-paste and a list of controls.
Not bad, except for the description of the machine gun. 12.7x99 NATO (50.Cal BMG) and 12.7x108 (Soviet) are too different to fit into the same gun. You'd need to replace both the chamber and the bolt, and you would get worse-than normal performance with one or the other because rifling of the barrel is either optimized for lower velocity NATO round or higher velocity Soviet round.
Other than that, I love what you did with this old chassis.
Classic UR, making a ship with more parts than a real one would have XD
It looks beautiful. I suggest adding some more pictures for those who can't run it (which is most of us).
@MarkMCraft no worries. Anyway, running a small server with a couple of friends helping moderate it, with mostly friends in it, is much better than running this community.
@MarkMCraft I thought so myself at first. Now, I'm happy running my little Discord server with my friends and not having to deal with all the stuff that comes with being a moderator.
@Christiant2 with modern tricks like labels and fuselage cutting, I think it could be lowered to around 600 parts, but I don't think I'll be doing that with this old bird.
@SirDino4t7 I don't think so. Po-2 is famously docile, easy to fly plane. While there should be a bit of torque from the engine, it's not a Merlin V12. There's not enough power to cause that much torque. And the real one does have wheel brakes, judging by some videos I've seen.
Again, I like this build, and I'm still occasionally enjoying it, but those are indeed flaws.
Why didn't you post it as unlisted then? That feature was made specifically so you can share your build between devices and have hidden online backups.
The driving system seems to be broken. It doesn't respond to pitch and roll. The gun is nice, and I like the reload mechanism, but I can't get it into any position from which I'll have something to shoot at.
@PlanariaLab no need to do it for me. There's plenty of sites where I can play for free and customize to my liking. The fact that you made it work in any size is very impressive.
If you're looking for ideas for another game, maybe Sudoku can be done similarly?
Just like the real thing. Are you planning a bigger version too?
Also, you forgot the mention in description that you can set the number of mines on the field by clicking the number left of the flag button.
Very nice looking build, though performance could use a bit more work. It rolls to the left quite a bit, especially at low speed, and wheel brakes don't seem to work, meaning that the plane takes half a mile to stop when landing. It's also a bit nose-heavy. Other than that, beautiful.
@UnknownPTR there's no radio signals to jam or intercept on SP. Mechanically, the build functions. Antenna lifts and turns, vehicle drives, but it can't do electronic warfare since there's no electronic warfare to be done.
We have all learned by observing how others build. However, if you lack the skill to make something yourself even after observing how someone else did it, and you decide to use another person's work to enhance your own, you have to give credit.
While there is no profit to be made here, and nobody is going to sue anybody over a stolen subassembly, it is customary to at least credit the owner of the intellectual property you are using.
Back when I was a moderator, I have removed countless builds over a failure to give credit, so you may as well consider it a law in this community.
@Zhixunlin23 it never did that for me, though I think I know what might be causing it for you. I have uploaded the corrections, so it shouldn't do that if you download it again.
Please report if it does so I can try other fixes.
@DARZAVIATION I know for a fact that this has been reported, since that's how this post came to my attention, so I advise removing that upvote before the mods see it. Other than that, this is a very nice paint scheme.
@Monarchii you're welcome (:

This reminds me of the stuff SledDriver used to build. It brings back memories.
+1@WinsWings tag me when it's out. I'm following you, but just in case. I'd hate to miss it.
+1@WinsWings I'm glad you like it. I'm still proud of this little thing.
+1@MAHADI thanks. It's a very unique boat. A bit narrow for its length, but otherwise very well done.

@PlaneEditorGuy here's a new link to the picture
Very nice build. Handles well, looks good, and has surprisingly low part count. It's a bit rough around the nose, but really enjoyable otherwise.

+1This post doesn't contain any dragons. You just posted a cockpit with misleading thumbnail and misleading description.
+5This is actually really well done for such a low part count. I love it.
+1You're not allowed to have a gun on the medivac variant. If it has a gun, the enemy is allowed to shoot at it.
@WinsWings Thank you, and thanks for the spotlight.
+1@1link598 sure, take what you need.
@1link598 sure, you got them.
