Man, I don’t know… I keep flip flopping about it. Sometimes I think I want to but really I don’t have the motivation I did before… I mean, I did just post a plane, but it’s still a WIP and I’m not even sure if it’s worth it to try to finish… @ACEPILOT109
Yeah, that could be helpful. Another thing you could consider would be to calibrate the “anti-gravity” thrust such that at full power, the craft stays exactly at a fixed altitude, not increasing or decreasing; in other words the thrust is exactly equal to the weight of the craft. Or, make it so the thrust is only slightly greater, so that it just barely increases altitude. Then, the pilot can manipulate the attitude of the craft and then use the forward or reverse thrusters to gain and lose altitude. That’s what other SP users do when they build rigid airships/blimps and stuff. I think it would add to the zero-g feel of the craft. Don’t want the thing rocketing off the pad, at least imo. Something to consider anyway.
Yeah, I’m sorry man. Sucks. You did a good job on presentation too, I think it’s just bad luck really. I’ve certainly had times where I was really proud of a build and then it didn’t get much attention and I was disappointed. But maybe it’s more important that you know you did a good job
Yeah, I wasn’t able to find a lot of information about the dimensions of the airplane, mostly I just did the best estimates I could based on pics. I got it close enough for it to be passable I guess lol. So feel free to use the dimensions of that build to work off of if you can’t find a better source than I used. But I actually mis-calculated when scaling that build; the wingspan is 20.4 when it should be ~29. So if you do use these dimensions, you’ll probably want to scale up from the size of that build by a factor of ~1.4 (size-wise, not weight or power etc.). As for other information on the plane, the best source I found online was just the company’s main website, I think it’s justaircraft.com. And yeah, feel free to tag me on your WIPs, I’d love to see how it’s going and help if I can :)
@ACEPILOT109
Nice looking plane! As for feedback, here’s a couple things that could be fixed:
-the roll rate is too slow.
-the three stabilizer wings are too big in proportion to the plane. Also it would add a lot to the look of the plane if you put a custom airfoil shape over them like on the primary wings.
-with the suspension, there shouldn’t be any reason that you’d need x1000000 strength and damper. I’m not totally sure the numbers, but I don’t think there would ever be a reason for strength and damper to be more than, idk, x50 or maybe x100 or something. Maybe less. Try putting them at lower settings and maybe try putting the damper at a much lower setting. Sometimes the damper seems to make the spring unable to carry load for some reason. But before you do that... All the bouncing doesn’t mean your spring is too weak, it means you have a different problem. It looks like a clearance/collision problem to me. So with overload, try disabling aircraft collisions on every single part that makes up the landing gear, except maybe the wheels themselves. [disableAircraftCollisions]=[true]. If that is the culprit, then you should be able to decrease the strength and damper multiplied a ton. If that doesn’t fix it, then it might be a problem with wheel physics, but I’m not sure, and it may not be as easy to diagnose. But try the aircraft collisions thing first.
-and finally, it would really add a lot to the quality of your plane if you added flaps. And then, when you really want to take it to the next level, try working on making custom control surfaces on all the wings.
Well, let’s see it man! Haha. And thank you, btw :) @KiVZ
+1Okay, thanks for the info, I’ll give it a try. @CruzerBlade
+1Man, I don’t know… I keep flip flopping about it. Sometimes I think I want to but really I don’t have the motivation I did before… I mean, I did just post a plane, but it’s still a WIP and I’m not even sure if it’s worth it to try to finish… @ACEPILOT109
Seriously! Bums me out though that I don’t have a gaming computer with a HOTAS and a good vr headset… @ACEPILOT109
Lol! Yep. I can’t believe all the cool new stuff on SP since I left! I half expected it to be dead. @ACEPILOT109
Lol thanks though I’m sure this post isn’t going anywhere @Kaiser7
I’m alive lol @ACEPILOT109
Can’t wait to see it! They are just so pretty it brings a tear to my eye...
@AtomicCyclone
Oh yeah, right on! Bike sounds awesome! @AtomicCyclone
How about a vintage (maybe 60’s) F1 car?
@AtomicCyclone
Sweet! Nice work!
Very cool! Great work on the lg! Needs flaps ;)
Lol what?
My pleasure man keep up the great work :)
@MAHADI
Thanks! :)
@biggasgigant
Really nice build, great work
Cool, looking forward to seeing it!

@Maximum777
Very cool! Like maneuvering a spacecraft; super hard lol. Nice work.
Very cool design, I love the lg!
Oh heck yeah that’ll be awesome!!
@ACEPILOT109
Absolutely!

@ACEPILOT109
Very cool!
Wow looks incredible!
Always love your builds man great job
Came out great man, glad I could help :)
Haha thanks buddy :) mine too
Don’t worry I won’t ;)
@ACEPILOT109
I am honored to be of service my friend!
@ACEPILOT109
Absolutely:)

@ACEPILOT109
Ah yes I remember now. Well it looks like I have a little feedback after the fact but still, I’m sorry I missed the chance while you were building :/
Ok well I’ll check it out @ACEPILOT109
Jeez I’m sorry man, I don’t know how I missed it... Well how did it turn out?
@ACEPILOT109
Hmm ok. Doesn’t really look like my kind of thing lol sorry
@Gameboi14
Nope
@Gameboi14
Oops did I ever reply to this comment? It looks like I overlooked it somehow @ACEPILOT109
Lol I’m trying to think of an example of paying rent for property in FO. Just go to the property you like and kill everyone there lol.
Oh man someone else made a cool Caproni I have to find it @IStoleYourMeme
Cool, it’s like a ducted fan, I dig it! Like the way it flies too
A fun, cool build; good looking, nice livery, well crafted, well balanced, I like it a lot
What a great build to reach that landmark @MasterKiryu
Also congrats on your recent (I think) platinum! :)
Awesome!! :) :)
@MasterKiryu @AWESOMENESS360
Well they should it was worth it :)
@ChiChiWerx
Great build. Awesome look, very well crafted, flies beautifully. Really impressive work, sir!
Crazy
:) keep doing what you’re doing! Haha @LegnaK
Awesome :) let me know how it goes with the bouncing suspension @Gameboi14
