I think everyone agrees that tracks (and rails, lol) would be great. In the mean time, just ask to borrow somebody's smooshy wheels and you should be fine.
I've found it's best to just have shocks for show. When it comes to realistic aircraft weights, especially modern aircraft, they're just too much trouble. Even if you can get them to work after many hours of frustrated tinkering, the landing gear tends to be so springy that the plane bounces down the runway like a pogo stick.
As a longtime VR player, I am pretty sure this game would be WAY too nauseating for VR. Inconsistent framerates, violent camera movement, player-built vehicles, all this stuff adds up to a pretty uncomfortable VR experience.
@Numbers One time I made a successor to the highest rated tank I could find, but I deleted all the connections in it. In the thumbnails it looked awesome, but it would completely disintegrate into a pile of blocks and blow away when you tried to drive it.
@Planicopter Be sure to learn about gyroscopes and carefully manage your centers of thrust and mass. Tilt rotor aircraft are tricky but fun, there's a really good one on the front page.
@Strikefighter04 I try to say something when I can. Because this game is 30% social media, there's a lot of complicated meta-strategies that new players don't know about, but deserve to know.
Setting the mass of anything to zero is a great way to get unexpected bugs, especially engines. Try setting it to something more reasonable like .1 or .01
@CamanderYEET That's ok, you gave it your best shot! You got the overall shape right and I like how you smoothed out the wing roots. Thank you for making one of my favorite planes!
@AWESOMENESS360 This is some pretty advanced upvote avoidance. Your skill here is undeniable and my eyes are in quite a bit of pain. Hopefully any potential uploaders will ignore the sticky post at the top of the Forums and instead create a series of posts of their own asking how to do various text formats. An individual post for each question, of course.
@TanksWorldwide Yeah, wow. You really have been following a lot of these. Your tanks are pretty good, too. Once you figure out how to smoosh a bunch of wheels to make tracks you'll be good to go.
@JustDatGuy This is just a secret between you and me, ok? That's actually what this post is all about. See, if I made a post called "How to get better" or something, nobody would click on it. But this one messes with you. Reverse psychology. Get it? Don't tell anyone.

+1I bet you're pretty good on the harmonica. I mean, it's hard to be great at harmonica, but it's easy to get decent at.
It's a national shame that she wasn't made into a museum. You did good work here
Now that's just mean, man!
+1Very cool
+1@zzoop Yup, there are controls for how you want the wind to blow as well.
Looking great
@TanksWorldwide Hmmmm, try disabling the suspension
@BagelPlane Weird how people can spend so much time on something and still do that
Is that Vodoo too big or are the two interceptors much too small?

Looks great! Tag me when she's ready!

You could do a tilt-rotor flying boat. Then it would be all three!
Don't forget Belphegor!

+1Are you in the United States? If so you can call 1-800-RUNAWAY for crisis help and support.
Teasers have pictures
Don't disappoint would-be supporters of your work! Hunt down a jpeg on google or something. Give your people something to look at.

+1Download highly rated planes, compare them to what you've built, identify the differences, tear them apart to see how they were made.

@Strucker Me too bro. Me too.

@JustDatGuy You know what? I have no idea why anyone would. But I see about 30 or 40 people following most of this list every single day.

Great point! Being rude, insulting or just a general drama queen is an excellent way to avoid success.
