@gareth1234 Mr Pie was asking Mr Garrison (fine gent that he is) to make this one of the four featured thingies at the top of the SimplePlanes home page. I like this idea. But then again I am biased...
I know, right? @Tang0five The Yanks are also now finding that the 6000 operating hour limit on their AV-8B Harrier II + airframes is actually bloody conservative and they could potentially do 10,000+...The MOD actually scrapped perfectly good aeroplanes that could even have been sold to the USMC for bits... Or, you know, could have been kept in service? Eejits.
BTW, I think it fits nicely with the BAe Whirlwind ADVANCE (https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/201LMK/BAE-Whirlwind-ADVANCE) I built a while back, dont you?
Im not totally sure how multi player works either, but that would be great fun. Although... Scooter vs Shar... Your flight plan would look like;
1. Take off
2. Gear up
3. Explode...
That said, youre an actual pilot and Im just some guy... might be a fun fight?@ChiChiWerx
@ChiChiWerx Ive been working with a download called the "XML cheat bench". It is a collection of parts that you cant get without mods, weightless parts, no clip parts and very very small bits etc. But 1.7 on iOS is going to rock, no doubt.
Because the Yanks and their marvelous F-35 was going to save the universe, apparently. Thanks, btw ;-) @Tang0five
No offence to our trans atlantic chums, I would hasten to add. You guys gave us Gene Simmonds, Alice Cooper, Springstein and Ice Cube, so youre ok with me.
I remember having a "discussion" on the wikipedia talk page for the Firebrand - some eejit tried to tell me it wasn't comparable to the Sea Fury (in terms of role, era etc)... Oh what fun we had that day.
@Franticmatty it is mobile friendly (so low on detail), but will you accept my Hawker Siddeley Kestrel?
https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/XH7fXP/Hawker-Siddeley-Kestrel-FGA-1
@Tang0five Cheers. The bumps are to hide the guns - the wings have a tiny wee bit dihedral and the guns just would not clip nicely into the wing panels. No matter how much or nicely I swore at them.
Well spotted on the landing gear. I was thinking the same thing, but the two engines clipped together in the nose make her quite nose heavy. Fixing that and making her a tail dragger would have meant I would need to move the centre of lift, placing the wings further back, making it difficult to place the main gear in front of the centre of mass... Designing simple planes is quite complex, when you think about it.
Nope, Im from Scotland, but living in Norway. I like Russian stuff too; especially the Cold War stuff. I thought that with a name like Mikoyanster you might be?
I figured that this wasnt just a coincidence... Nice model, though.
Now, since you mention it, my Gloster Javelin is way better than this...blah blah better weapons... blah blah no upvotes... blah blah cockpit blah blah...
Now you can get to work ;-)
@RamboJutter
Is it the use of standard weapons? Ive made a new version, using the supplied guns, but Im not willing to play a game of "guess the transgression", and upload something that is going to be rejected again, so can you let me know if Im right? @mikoyanster
@asg I am not trying to be mean, but Your Cougar is not as polished as this Lightning.
To give you a quick critique; the shape is slightly off, the USN insignia are very large and blocky (try finding some slimmer ones) and the NAVY lettering doesnt follow the lines of the fuselage. It stands out like some sort of billboard. The cockpit is nice, but you downloaded that. Plus I dont think someone elses build is really the place to be airing your frustrations at not getting the upvotes you think you deserve.
Rather! With two and a coo, as the jocks say. @Tang0five
Agreed. @Tang0five
@Liquidfox
Many thanks.
@Tang0five Pip Pip, old chap!
Best F-35b on the site. Very nice.
I really like that custom nose gear. Good job.
Many thanks to all who upvoted! I know she isnt perfect, but I hope she fun to fly?
Has anyone managed a vertical deck landing yet?
Ah. The good ship Planet Express Ship. Beautiful and Deadly.
Just like her captain.
She'll come crawling back to me like a bird on her belly. Mmmmm. Delicious.
Oh god I miss being a student with the time to sit and watch Futurama all day long... great job!
I like it. But the Kim head isnt nearly jowely enough. It needs bigger jowels. Like an obese Basset Hound, only jowelier.
Awesome stuff. Congrats on making gold, too. Many happy returns, so on and so forth.
Very nice.
No particular reason. It just felt right there and then. @ForeverPie
Very nice model of an under represented type. Top drawer, old boy, top drawer.
@Tang0five Youre welcome. I think it might be the best thing you've done so far.
Christ on a bike that is bloody lovely.

You know that kids respond well to bright colours, right?

Thanks. I went for wow effect rather than realism there... @rubenisapilot
Running all the way... ;-)@Tang0five
Just realised that I never upvoted this. It is very, very nice.

I know! Sea Harrier FRS.1 next!! @ChiChiWerx
Featured? Featured! Im very happy you all like this - it took a wee while to build & keep mobile friendly.
Thanks to all!
Hope you all like the GR.7 as much... ;-)

To quote Shakin Stevens; Lovely Stuff!
Top drawer old boy! Cant wait! @Tang0five
Nope. Have you tried it? @AudioDud3
Not sure what you mean? It has all four contact points; nose and wings controlled by ag2 plus vtol and main by the default gear control. @AudioDud3

Very cool.
Christ almighty - browsing through your post history is like looking at my "to do list" - except you've already done it! Very nice.
Cant believe I have overlooked this for so long. Bloody lovely!
Also - arse over tit! Haven't heard that phrase in a long time.
@Franticmatty I would also like to enter my Short SC.1 - it is pretty experimental.

@JettStorm Thanks!
@Tang0five Cheers matey. I have now posted the instructions too. Have fun!

@RamboJutter
Upvoted, spotlighted, hat off, nod, wink, so on and so forth. Bloody lovely job.
Thanks for getting back to me. Will do. @mikoyanster
Is it the use of standard weapons? Ive made a new version, using the supplied guns, but Im not willing to play a game of "guess the transgression", and upload something that is going to be rejected again, so can you let me know if Im right? @mikoyanster
It was built on an iPhone6, so it might run for you? Thanks, by the way. @Tang0five
Ok. Which ones? @mikoyanster
@Treadmill103
@Tang0five
Many thanks, gents.
This is a very, very, very (very) good build. Lovely stuff! @RamboJutter

More boom is a good thing.
