A few nations did this to their planes in WWII like Germany and the BF-109Z and other models, and it was done to increase the aircraft range...
tho most other countries removed one of the cockpits, the US used the 2 pilots in rotation on long flights.
One pilot could relax or even sleep, while the other would fly the aircraft.
Some bomber Escort missions can take 2-4 hours of flying (some even more) quick video
@F104Deathtrap for me it's the F4U Corsair as no1 ;)
and second job?!
after seeing my friend play EVE (since early 2000's & 300k players and still playing), I realized i never want to play it, I don't think there's a bigger Time sink out there.
@Gestour I will refrain from cussing from now on, sorry for that.
I never use direct foul language, I either use @#* or use language like i did except A-.. but i'll stop using foul language from now on.
sometimes you try to do something with other people.
I was taking videos of other players flying their creations, not really a singleplayer thing.
also if i'm being attacked in mp I usually retaliate a couple of times and move somewhere else on the map not to get in that players way.
This is more against players who keep attacking players in MP even after being asked not to do so, or even after relocating to another spawn area only to be followed by the attacking player.
@BroWassup thank you, was wondering how it runs on mobile :)
Yaw is a tricky thing (especially if you want it to react in forward flight), and this Orca is probably not the final version.
@F104Deathtrap XD I will probably do a lesson about different Rotor systems and their dangers..
if you want to understand what happened to you, look up "Zero G maneuvers" and "Mast Bumping" ;)
@Vayloz Lights are positioned the same on all aircraft, so they will be placed the same on a flying sing.
sometimes there's no spot for a specific light, but as long as it covers it's "area" it doesn't matter..
I.E.: In the F-15 the Rear lights are on the vertical stabilizers, Left is White Position/NAV light and Right is Red Anti Collision Light
Use the things you like as inspirations... games, movies, props you've seen on the street.
don't be afraid to Experiment as much as you can, and the designs will get better once you get your mojo going :P
@Lwillswith2sentryguns it's already pretty hard :D
I tried with AI guns or AI planes....
but trying do dodge both them and the base missiles was a bit too much 😅
@JustAnotherStudent first of all thank you, glad you like'em :)
if you mean the exhausts, that's on purpose.
when afterburner is off, the reactor thrust goes to the reactive thrusters for hovering, with excess heat exhausted out those ports..
when afterburner is on it diverts all power into the main engines, shutting down the reactive thrust system, including excess heat and exhaust... so the rear exhausts cut off as they now go through the engines.
at least that's the idea behind that :)
@WinsWings thanks for the compliment :)
I like this little thing, think it would fit great as a crop duster.
not a big fan of always flying with gyro on, but it's not that bad in this case.
using nozzles and Vtol engines needs the Gyro power.
loses altitude really quickly and gets into spins easily...
but those only mean you actually need to pay attention to it..
so yeah, it's a nice VTOL I like it :)
@taleofatadpole they should be synced by default, in the MP launcher you have a checkbox, make sure it's black.
not sure if that box appears in MP launcher in general, or if you need TrollShield.
@taleofatadpole MP isn't the best for PVP...
Guns, Cannons, Rocket pods, flares/chaff don't show or work on other players
Depending on ping, AA missiles might not work either.
make sure you have Explosions synced on both players, and be on discord, so you can call things like gun kills, or when the game doesn't register a hit by missiles.
Cool build, and Shalom from Israel.
fun to fly and looks good for the low part count!!
one issue I found is Rudder needs collision disabled.
@Shugie Israeli aircraft can carry Israeli weapons, like the "Shafrir" missile (based on AIM-9 frame, but not an AIM-9)
depending which years of service, this could be any one of many AIM-9 lookalike missiles that served on this airframe ;)
.
Israel doesn't have any carriers, however the Hook was used on tarmac runways that have a Wire system for emergency landings assistance or just for fast landing to re-deploy.
I don't think any Israeli A-4's or any fighters ever landed on a Carrier, other than helicopters and logistics craft sadly
R.I.P.

@Lwillswith2sentryguns for aircraft Wasps and Pigpens..
for AI guns my own based on the autoturret from my Orca
@AWESOMENESS360 cheers and thank you! :D
@Lwillswith2sentryguns it's already pretty hard :D
I tried with AI guns or AI planes....
but trying do dodge both them and the base missiles was a bit too much 😅
@WinsWings here you go ;)
it's not easy!
I've done it a lot of times, but It's one of my favorite things to do when I play :)
@126 cheers buddy :)
very cool!
@ShinyGemsBro They can carry more of them than a lot of attack heli's ;)
and they are far cheaper to lose
Cool and fun little Heli!
don't like the always gyro-on, but I get why.
@IslandSinker cheers :)
happy to see this still being helpful.
@MrCloud yeah, but not too much...

pretty cool.
quick input tip for the turn signals for that constant blinking
Left signals-> abs(clamp(Roll, -1,0))
Right signals-> abs(clamp(Roll, 0,1))
Oh and T pls :)
RIP to all those who lost their lives that day.
The P-38 wasn't in Pearl.. and the P-51D didn't exist yet..
cute helicopter
love how it came out
great work!
This is the Game update I've been wishing for 2-3 years now.
TY for this!!
