I was patient and took my time, instead of rushing to get it posted in 48 hours like I always do... so I am pretty proud of myself and proud of the outcome, yes, thank you :) also a personal best upvote-wise, which I know is just a number, and my vanity shouldn’t be important. But also it hopefully means that some people enjoyed playing with it, which I think is important, and does make me feel good. So short answer is yes, I feel plenty rewarded. Probably more than is warranted but I’ll take it! Lol
@ACEPILOT109
Haha yeah that is a bit of a problem with high part counts... it flies pretty similar to the first one apart from the prop wash and flaps.
@ACEPILOT109
Oh yeah haha totally!! It’s such a cool plane. I’ve learned a couple tricks since then and I always wanted to do a little something more with it haha. @ACEPILOT109
Ok. Well on the beacon light part, you can program the flash pattern. I can’t remember the name of the field you change atm, but the values for the flash pattern is written in seconds, like [1,1] would be a simple one second on, one second off. And [1,2,3,4,5,6] would be one second on, two seconds off, three seconds on, etc. And at the end of the string of values, the pattern starts over. So for each of the seven beacon lights in each of the seconds place, ten seconds place, minutes place, and ten minutes place in the counter, there’s a different program written specifically for the position of each beacon light in each place, it flashes out every second between 00:00 and 59:59. The timing of the programming in the game isn’t perfect, so the digits start to get out of sync after a minute or two, so first the seconds place goes wrong, then the ten seconds place goes wrong and so on and eventually it’s all just a garbled mess. But it’s still quite an impressive SP invention/design if you ask me :)
@OrangeBoardEnterprise
The timer was built by @BaconAircraft. But I understand the process. Have you used the Overload mod? The description of how it’s done would make more sense if you’re familiar with Overload.
@OrangeBoardEnterprise
Haha yes, I overdid it on the description, it is super long and I am sorry about that. Just got a little over-enthusiastic, y’know lol. But if you did actually read it all, that is very cool of you, thank you for your time and attention :)
@Diloph
I don’t believe @jamesPLANESii was implying that you didn’t know about the Draco or that you’re not an aviation enthusiast, I think he was just reinforcing the fact that it is such a cool and iconic plane
@PlaneCreator1
Haha awesome! I’m so glad you like it. It truly was a beautiful plane, I’d love to see one irl. But I don’t even know if any of them exist anymore. I mean, there’s surely at least one in a museum. Anyway, all those Schneider Cup Racers are super cool. Thank you for your comments and feedback!
@PlaneCreator1
Thanks man! Yeah, I’m sorry about the random exploding. Ever since the 1.8 update, several of my planes are doing that. I can definitely fix it, but I haven’t gotten around to it, since there’s a lot of things that could do with an update and I don’t have as much time for SP as I did last year :(
Anyway thank you for the compliment, I am really happy that you like my plane! If it’s something you really want, I can update this plane, at the very least so that it stops exploding. Let me know.
Yeah I’ve heard of War Thunder, haven’t played it but it sounds really cool!
Hey man,
Thanks for your suggestion! Can you be a little more specific about the chrome twin prop? A lot of different planes could fall under that description.
And as for your profile pic, I’m not totally sure exactly which plane that is, but I’m pretty sure it is a Schneider Cup racer. And I did build one of those, the Macchi M.C. 72, which you can check out here. Thanks for your interest!
Well it’s an old build actually, just wanted to do a little updating since I can’t seem to muster the gumption to do a full on build lately lol
@AerialFighterSnakes
Yeah, when completely stopped. It starts turning in place very slowly all by itself, even on totally flat ground. I believe it only happens to heavily XML modded builds. @vcharng
Very nice!
Lol it has a self destruct button!
What is the secret to the twisty fuselage inlet blocks?
Lol gotcha. Well it flies just fine without them. @ACEPILOT109

@ACEPILOT109
Looks good, nice craftsmanship, great handling, all around solid build. Nice work :)
Cool plane, flies great!! Are you going to add a trim function or rudder? Flaps would be sweet too although I don’t know where you’d put em lol.
Love the way this thing looks and flies, great job.
Thank you so much. I can’t tell you what that means to me, coming from you. I’m honored :)
@SpiritusRaptor
Haha yeah that is a bit of a problem with high part counts... it flies pretty similar to the first one apart from the prop wash and flaps.
@ACEPILOT109
Awesome build as usual:)
Yeah I changed the descriptions on the other builds. So I guess it’s okay..
@BaconAircraft
Oh yeah haha totally!! It’s such a cool plane. I’ve learned a couple tricks since then and I always wanted to do a little something more with it haha. @ACEPILOT109
Do I need to contact him?
@BaconAircraft
Oops that sucks I have a few descriptions to change lol thanks for telling me @BaconAircraft
Idk like five mins?

Cool plane, awesome livery!
Wow cool!!
If you have any ultralights in mind that you want to see made, it probably more likely that I will be able to build it.
Oh right I saw that on discord. Well that saves me the trouble of doing a crappier job lol. @PlaneCreator1 @jamesPLANESii

I am not familiar with the Trent Palmers Bush plane, I will go check it out! @PlaneCreator1

@PlaneCreator1
Haha yes my sentiments exactly :) also thank you for your help, I never seem to get tired of using your awesome ADI lol
@ChiChiWerx
It certainly is what you might call a benchmark. Thanks for the spotlight :)
@jamesPLANESii
Thank you sir! And thank you for the spotlight too :)

@PlaneCreator1
Haha exactly! And therein lies, imo, the true beauty of ultralights!
Thanks man :)
@AWESOMENESS360
Thank you so much! Low and slow baby, that’s how I do it lol.
But seriously though I really appreciate your comment, thank you :)
@Viper3000ad
Thanks man that’s very kind of you! Hopefully I will be able to continue to produce :)
@AerialFighterSnakes
Thank you that is quite a compliment! :)
@Simplemike
@RailfanEthan @Chancey21
Thanks guys! :)
Thanks man :)
@ChiyomiAnzai
Ah I see lol. Prolly why I don’t know them

@AerialFighterSnakes
Haha what a great show that was. @NicePlanes
Lol well put @NicePlanes
Ok well at least I’m not crazy so that’s good lol. @NicePlanes
Definitely flies better than the first version nice work!
And thanks for the shoutout :)
Hmmm, ok. How long did you fly it? Also, did you do a lot of aggressive turning? Thanks for your help! :)
@NicePlanes
Lol
Lol for sure @jamesPLANESii
Great work as always sir!
Ok I’ll try that, thanks :) although I think it’s already at like 300 or 400% lol...
