@Droidy247 Not taking requests for the moment. Sorry. It is a very nice helicopter though I admit! Why not try building it yourself? It doesn't look too hard to build, or at least needs a bit of time to build right
The Centre-of-weight of the plane is behind the Centre-of lift. You need to add weight to the front.
My suggestion is to start by removing all Deadweight and fuel of the plane; move all the fuel onto the wings, and put the deadweight onto the nose area until the Centre-of-Weight is IN FRONT of the Centre-of-Lift.
@ChrisPy you'd be surprised... My guess is that upvotes more come from the popularity of the plane and certain level of perfection.. Something i'm not patience enough to do...
Set the Fuselage parts covering the wings as the following using the overload or XML edits:
disableAircraftCollisions = True
CalculateDrag = False
massScale = 0
dragScale = 0
Otherwise, you can remove the fuselage parts covering the wings altogether...
As always, fantastic job! I would recommend using fusalage parts instead of panel parts for the bomb bay doors. That way it would give the plane a smoother look to it
All jokes asides, I did wish to give this plane a fly-by-wire system, however I am still too inexperienced to make that work... maybe at a later date I will implement it...
Pretty good docking skills! What is the intent of the plane? (Airborne highjacking? Airborne repair? etc...) Also, Would you like to try your hand on My airborne aircraft carrier?

@ThatShipGuy I limited it to try keeping the plane realistic. It's my way of doing things I suppose. I know not many people like it, but hey, feel free to change it :)
@asteroidbook345 just recently had the urge to repaint mine. I suppose the F-5 is kinda like the Deus Ex game. If it's been mentioned, somewhere, someplace, an F-5 is being modelled in simpleplanes...
Really like this one in particular! Low part count and fantastic detail! Brilliant job!! Would you be interested in making or joining me to make this model an airborne aircraft carrier?
As someone who also built the A-4 recently, I respect the difficulty of buiilding the A-4 xD. Did you choose a specific version of A-4? I noticed the cockpit is a bit longer than the usual A-4 models...
@ChrisPy I agree that the plane accelerates too fast, however it was necessary to keep the plane's cruising speed satisfactory. At least it doesn't maneuver too unrealistically. Could you recommend a better engine configuration? Or maybe make a successor version?
As for custom wings, I agree that the game's default wings are annoyingly blocky. I have tried made custom wings from time to time, but I feel that sometimes it works and looks fantastic, sometimes it doesn't and looks even more blocky.... Maybe it just me :/
A very good try! Reminds me a lot on how I used to make my earlier builds. It's a very smooth plane to fly and looks equally gorgeous.
What I'll point out is that the in-game plane parts are relatively small. You plane's measurements won't stack up unless you modify their size too. Also, the plane tends to swirv a lot of ground taxi and take-off. Happens to my tail-dragger planes too... not sure on how to fix that :/...
Non-the-less, very nice build, keep up the good work :)
I like the simplicity to it, and flies pretty smoothly!
For better realism, I suggest you fix up the following:
For trims, set the rotator input to "Pitch+Trim".
For flaps, Set the Control Surface to "clamp(VTOL,-1,0)"
Place the guns underneath the fusalage (as per the real thing)
Implement the airbrakes with slightly lower drag force.
Awesome!! Keep up the good work!

@TheLurkingVexedVortex It's this
@Ruskiwaffle1991 Technically yes, however it would have taken quite a lot of time and effort to make.
Fantastic build! Hats off! Now I can fly like a tumbling owl stick in hay! :D
@ChrisPy Noted. Any way to confirm how to know how many drag points to keep or remove?
@Macrophage - that particular model was incorrectly uploaded, please follow this instead...
@ChrisPy Could you specify what you mean by:
SP thrust 4000
RL thrust 3000
Because I'm not sure what you mean here...

Fun to fly :D... not sure if the cougar actually had adjustable guns...
upvoting coz this looks gorgeous!! I'll try to have a look at it later, but pls do tag me when it's ready!!
@AzureSamurai Thanks! Appreciate the input
looks like a stealthy Pzl-230x

coincidentally i just re-released one of my f-5 models! Yours looks awesome! Keep up the good work!!
+2@EternalDarkness - Not a problem, I truly appreciate the trouble you're going through for these requests.
@K2K - Will reconsider my entry for the challenge. Will keep you updated.
@EternalDarkness, thanks you
@EternalDarkness , please make this plane a successor to @K2K 's SPCS Cold War Naval Aircraft challenge
May my A-8 Aquan D-1 enter this challenge?
Really like this one in particular! Low part count and fantastic detail! Brilliant job!! Would you be interested in making or joining me to make this model an airborne aircraft carrier?
Cool model! Much easier to handle than my Cessna 182S!

@ChrisPy Thanks for your suggestions, will try to consider it for future builds. Was thinking I picked the wrong engine for this build?
Wish there was an acceleration and fuel consumption modifier for engines, would make it a hell of a lot easier for everyone.
@EternalDarkness - Kindly make this plane a successor to @Memri's Ground attack challenge
Looks gorgeous!! Reminds me a lot of the old british Gnat fighter (Speaking of which, the lack of one on this site is a disturbing thought...)
+2FAST BOI!
May I enter my Su-23 Fogg-D for this competition?
@DarDragon *Padum tsh xD

@EngineerOtaku noted, thank you
@EngineerOtaku Thanks for your input! Had this problem a few times or so in my previous models. Will take note on fixing it for future models :)

Awesome job!!! Knew this would be a fantastic addition to Simple planes once I saw the Mustard video :D
Gotta test this out soon! Looks awesome!!!
