I asked @RodWan for help and he definitely helped; I probably would have scrapped the project without his help. But still, I couldn’t get size and weight down very far. @randomusername
Either lots of spontaneous self destruct, or unmanageable torque from the rotator, or not enough thrust, or runaway acceleration, or inability to take off. Also uncontrollable flight characteristics. @randomusername
I tried to get the weight and the scale down, I was going to use the real planes wingspan as reference point for scale. But I couldn’t get it to function when I scaled size and weight. I tried forever and couldn’t get it so I just left it big and heavy... :( @randomusername
I build most everything on my phone and then if I need to do anything with mods I transfer to my pc. It’s infuriatingly slow though, hence the phone. Also, I clearly don’t know what I’m doing with the mods. But with your help and others, I’m definitely starting to learn. @RodWan
Cool good job! I did just finish my own version with the mirrored/countered engines, but I’m not sure I’ll post it since I’ve already posted an update... unless you think I should... also I thought of spotlighting your version but that seems a little self-serving... do you think?
Wow thank you! Well, it spontaneously explodes when you pitch and roll aggressively. Also, when you scale it down, then it flips out and explodes even faster... maybe you can figure out why? But also I will need to finish the build before I scale it down so... I dunno, that do you think? @RodWan
Thanks for the advice! I think I just got extremely lucky because one of my builds just got featured hahaha... I wish I knew how to thank the mod/dev who did it! @Minecraftpoweer
Thank you! I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that yesterday I posted on the forum asking if getting featured was a realistic goal for me... :/. So maybe it’s mostly luck, but hey, I’ll take it! Haha. Who do I thank, btw? @Chancey21
I do have a pc running SP but it’s so slow and crashy that I only use it strictly for fine tuner and Overload. That being said, I only just started using those mods and don’t really understand how to use them correctly :/ @whereby
Ok cool thanks! Yeah I use my phone (iOS) for everything. I’ve just started playing with mods using my Dell, but it’s a piece of junk so I only use it when I absolutely have to. @Planedude
@RodWan Hey man, I noticed on your profile that you can help with tuning/XML stuff. And based on your comments and content, I thought you’d be the guy to ask! Do you have any ideas on what I can do with this build? I swear it’s taking years off my life.... :(
Haha yeah I guess it is. No I haven’t disabled collisions cause I’ve no idea how to do that... Another problem is when I try to scale it down (it’s so huge) then things go haywire even faster... and if I can’t figure out how to get it to function correctly, I don’t wanna spend the hours getting the aesthetics right :/ Also, thank you, btw hahah @Planedude
Also, is it the mods who pick featured builds? or is it automated, like once you reach a certain number of upvotes or downloads or something?@randomusername
Oh! Right got it haha. But yes, a feature that is functional but rare is basically what I was thinking. So... by cargo mech, you mean a big lumbering bi-pedal or -quadrupedal or whatever-pedal walker whose purpose is to carry stuff; either imaginary troops,ordinance,etc or even other builds like planes or trucks or tanks, right? @randomusername
I wrote this in the description but I’m posting it here so that these builders get a notification:
I would like to thank @jamesPLANESii, @BodganX, and @Chancey21, whose amazing bush and ultralight planes gave me inspiration and a benchmark to aspire to. I know I’m nowhere near that level, but they make me want to keep trying. So thank you!
Oh hey that reminds me; is there a function that mirrors only one part? It seems like that would be a thing but I can’t figure it out (I’m on iOS if that makes a difference) @ProfessionalAmateur
Thank you! Yes, I struggled over that for a while. I knew it would be more accurate as a replica if they were mirrored/counter-rotating. But stylistically I felt it would be cooler for some reason if I made the engines identical rather than mirrored. Also I guess I didn’t want it to look like I was lazy and just used the mirror tool (silly, I know). I think I may have chosen wrong hahaha... but thank you for the feedback! I value it greatly. Maybe I should post another update that is mirrored. @ProfessionalAmateur
Haha. Thank you for your input though. I just can’t get over how cool and helpful all you guys are. @Chancey21
Okay that’s a good plan. Any idea why it has increased? I don’t feel like I’m doing anything differently... @DemonSniper8
It’s my iOS machine that’s crashing though, not my pc. @Chancey21

@Tully2001 wow thank you for the feature! You guys are so cool!
Of course! :) @ProfessionalAmateur
This plane is a work of art. I dearly lament that I cannot run it on my machine.

Wow that is incredibly helpful thank you! @RodWan
@Planedude :) thank you
@RailfanEthan Oh man youre my hero thank you hahaha
Looks fantastic! Good work on the cockpit too!
Haha okay. How many points does platinum start at, anyway? @QingyuZhou
Yeah, I don’t have that button, I don’t know why. Maybe it’s not available on iOS. @ProfessionalAmateur

Ok, 1- how do I do that? I have never been able to figure that out... is it not possible on the iOS version?
2- can you do it with multiple parts at once? @ProfessionalAmateur

2- can you do it with multiple parts at once? @ProfessionalAmateur
Ok, that makes sense. Thank you for taking a look! Late is no problem I’m not in a rush hahaha @RodWan
Thank you! @Trainzo
I don’t know off hand but when I get home tonight I’ll take a look. @whereby

:) @Chancey21
Hey there’s a good idea! @LiamW
@LiamW haha ok dang I was gonna say how do you do electric motors in SP? not counting infinite rotators i guess...
Haha dang. Ok well thanks for keeping it real :) @BoeyingOfficial
Are you making a request? @LiamW

Fantastic! That looks a bit trickier to get into a cockpit but I’ll do my best to figure it out so I can put that in a future build! @Planedude
Haha! I’m sure @FastDan
Thanks to @Planedude for the great artificial horizon!

I’m rewriting this in the comments so the user gets notified:
Thanks to @BogdanX, whose pontoons I used (Fairy Seaplane). I love that plane, btw, great work!

Well I can’t use the mirror tool now because of stuff that’s in the cockpit so I’ll have to pull it off of an earlier save file. @ProfessionalAmateur

Ooh, what about Finnegan’s ‘56 (‘57?) Chevy gasser? I bet you could build a really sweet version of that one! @aircraftarsenal123
I think you’re the man for the job! Haha seriously though Roadkill is one of my favorite shows ever. @aircraftarsenal123
That thing is a smoke machine!!! I really loved that episode hahaha. Great build man! @aircraftarsenal123
