Control surfaces have their trailing edges separated, and they are themselves separated from the fuselage and wingtip, and are sticking out behind the trailing edge of the wing root and tip. On real one, control surfaces are barely noticeable when not deflected.
That guy is lucky he didn't write that here on the site. You've been a part of this community for ages, and it's a bit sad to see you go. However, your choice. See you on SR2.
There are multiple ways of making flaps:
- via XML (use Overload mod, set input of a control surface to VTOL;
- put a wing piece on a rotator and nudge the assembly into place;
- Attach wing to a fuselage block attached to a rotator for a full custom (fuselage-covered) wing.
@SpencerTreePuncher fuselage blocks do take a bit of time to master, but it pays off. Try downloading complicated planes and replicating their parts to get a hang of it. Also, since you are on iOS, and thus unable to edit xml files, feel free to steal edited pieces from my builds.
@Tessemi why wouldn't you provide some constructive criticism instead of being cynical? It's even in the rules: "If you are continually telling people their airplanes suck, then maybe you suck".
@xXRaindropXx it's a monarchy holding most of Africa and Southeast Europe. It owns all strategic resources and manufacturers of strategic goods and military equipment on its territory.
This is a very nice plane. Maneuverability seems slightly ahead of its time, and you didn't mod brake torque to prevent the nose digging in, but other than that, very nice build.
@Minecraftpoweer neither. To find difficult builds, you have to be more specific. For me, until recently, it was airliners and other large aircraft, since I didn't know how to make cockpits. As my latest upload shows, I have now mastered that too.
Ships could be called difficult because I have to stress my device to the limit if I want quality to match my rank. Still, techniques used are relatively simple most of the time.
@BrianAircraftsNew M.Corp provides backstory for all my creations. As such, it's both a manufacturer and a country. It keeps things simple. And it lets me annoy RP people every now and then :)
@Comradeairlines all devs and moderators are western. They probably wouldn't mind anything anti-communist. Also, I don't see how a flag can be offensive.
Very nice. Only thing I would edit is setting max deflection angle of elevators to around 27°. That way, you'll avoid elevator stall at max input. That problem is easy to miss on a mobile device, because you have on-screen controls. On PC, keyboard input makes it obvious.
I recommend using standard ground vehicle controls. That's pitch for acceleration and roll for turning. With throttle input, you don't have reverse, and yaw doesn't allow you to use partial input on PC.
It was removed due to how easy one could abuse it. Photoshopping a build to look better, putting pictures that don't correspond with the build,... Also, due to the fact that it's a big advantage for attracting users to check out your build, but would be unavailable to iOS users.
Better redesign the nose. Long nose on that kind of helicopter does pretty much nothing, but obstructs downward visibility. You need downward visibility to see what you are doing with your payload on skycranes.
This is a very nice build for your level, so, unlike the guys below, I'll give you a few advices to make 'em even better. You can make a custom landing gear retract with landingGear button if you set input to "landingGear" via Overload mod and hollow fuselage will look smoother if you let panels overlap. Also, I think you should invest into custom control surfaces. You can take apart some existing builds to see how.
@TheMutePaper my suggestion is to exploit new possibilities to the fullest. Remove all drag and add artificial drag by using a single fuselage block with drag enabled. Hide actual flaps inside the nose, and add more wings inside the visible ones. Also, with far less drag, you'll need weaker engines for realistic speed, allowing for realistic acceleration and climb rate.
Very well done. Easy to fly, and even my laptop can run it. Performance are close to what I would expect from an airliner. Windows and logo could be nudged a bit closer to the fuselage in some places, but it's not much of a problem on a plane as big as this one.

Don't spam low quality planes. If it doesn't fly (or do whatever it's supposed to do), don't upload it. Put effort into every build. There are many tricks ingame tutorial won't show you. You can learn them by taking apart planes already uploaded to the site. If you don't understand how something works, feel free to ask. You are also not restricted to planes. People have made ships, tanks, cars, trucks, trains, dragons, spaceships...

Not bad. Still, 1000+ parts and stock ailerons...
+2The build you deleted was featured?! Ok, I'll refeature it.
+2Here's how you do it.
+2@FastDan I'm just doing my job. Thanks for pointing it out.
+2@Diam would you mind changing your gravatar picture? The on you are using is borderline NSFW.
+2Control surfaces have their trailing edges separated, and they are themselves separated from the fuselage and wingtip, and are sticking out behind the trailing edge of the wing root and tip. On real one, control surfaces are barely noticeable when not deflected.
+2I'm pretty sure that it already has more parts than some of my builds.
+2That guy is lucky he didn't write that here on the site. You've been a part of this community for ages, and it's a bit sad to see you go. However, your choice. See you on SR2.
+2I chopped a wasp in half in flight today, but you don't see me making a post about it... Still, nice story.
+2@QingyuZhou because magic.

@Chancey21 thanks.
+2@Chancey21 lol. Enjoy.
+2@BogdanX you have a featured build on your challenge :)
+2@EnderSharky no problem.
+2@DerekSP Andrew asked me if I wanna moderate. I said "yes", and became a mod.

+2@Tessemi why wouldn't you provide some constructive criticism instead of being cynical? It's even in the rules: "If you are continually telling people their airplanes suck, then maybe you suck".
+2You should try experimenting with fuselage blocks and nudging. Getting smoother shapes and stuff. Still, this is an interesting design.
+2@Hyattorama I'm glad you did eventually use them.
+2Very nice. Use tags.
+2@xXRaindropXx it's a monarchy holding most of Africa and Southeast Europe. It owns all strategic resources and manufacturers of strategic goods and military equipment on its territory.
+2Mention history of this example to justify the livery please. Great build.
+2@marcox43 @Potato21 @DuckMintnewprofile thanks.

@Tully2001 nope. Pink is the most annoying color known to man.
+2@havoc it doesn't happen on my computer. It did when I tried to have actual suspension.

+2@Ethological why don't you put a gun on the piece of structural panel, scale the panel down using Fine Tuner, and then use that as a subassembly?
+2@FastDan you don't need app. All you need is imgur.com and markdown.
