The code these nifty CIWS builds use are ridiculously overengineered for some reason, the one my turret uses is much simpler and i plan on uploading the build soon
@GuyFolk that was intentional, the idea is to keep the plane at a high angle of attack beyond the stall threshold, but also prevent it from flipping around so that it uses the wings like drag surfaces in conjunction with thrust from the engines to turn very tightly while still maintaining a forward velocity.
@AsteroidAsteroidTheBook it's not, I just reversed the joystick controls in the settings, because up is up and down is down for me. Which is funny because if it were a physical joystick I would pull back to go up and push to go down.
@ChrisPy that's purposeful due to their location, with no tail to counter their forces, angling the trailing edge flaps downward will make it pitch down.
@AceOfSpade I miiiiiiight make an E model, but that's after considerable modifications and improvements to the current variant, and I don't know how those would look like as of yet.
@WarshipDude that's genuinely a very dissatisfying answer, I want NEW ways to do these things, that's the entire point of this post, I want to take advantage of funky trees and apply them to make a helicopter (or arguably any aircraft) that works entirely differently from what I've been doing for ages and I'm tirelessly bored of. I wouldn't have made this post if I was satisfied with tipjets and torqueless rotors.
@Flightsonic
Thanks again, I made a successor that can align itself using brakes now https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/m7Ch4I/Raccoon-MK-12
@TrislandianAlliance
@Flightsonic thanks so much, I didn't know it was referred to as AngleOfSlip, I'll try to implement that.
@TrislandianAlliance it would definitely be very cool
@ThomasRoderick sure!

@Homemade1 I apologise, considering the game encourages building on others works, I thought you'd be okay with it.
@GuyFolk precisely!

@JediMasterYeeT not sure about IOS but Android users can't use mods since it's no longer supported by Google Play.
OH MY GOD
@CanadianRAF yeah sure that's what the game is for
I wonder what happened to the plane's creator.....

@BnanaX if you're interested in the rotors, here's a build that uses the same functionality.
https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/nuqVj0/Tyrannogarch
@BnanaX though the tyrannogarch has the yaw by rotators function, I think this particular build was before I implemented yaw torque controls.
@BnanaX yeah
Could have sworn you posted this ages ago already
@ThomasRoderick
@AceOfSpade welp.. i think i might break my promise AGAIN
@Grob0s0VBRa Astro D-2!

THE ARKBIRD!
I said arsenal bird but I meant the other super plane thing from ace combat that descends from space or something I dunno I never played the game
@ThomasRoderick https://imgur.com/a/KpK3aVV here ya go
@Diloph thanks!
@Diloph, for some reason it didn't make your post a successor
Friggin love it!
Probably the best 229 alternative I've seen, lovely piece.
This plane would look neat with a pelican tail, overall nice job

@WarshipDude I've already done this countless times, but thanks.
@Bruher thanks!!
@BnanaX good to hear she works now
@BnanaX I recommend just removing the weapon pylons entirely, i don't know how else to make it mobile friendlier.
@Grilll LMAO thanks!
@BnanaX 1.9.205 is mine, try to find a way to update your game, you don't have the funky trees features that's why my plane's rotators don't spin
@BnanaX is your app updated to the latest version? It works perfectly for me.
@BnanaX huh? They should!
Looks cool as hell, reminds me of that Caprica plane you made.
@TheReturningHound The F-42 from Sauce
I love this
I like it
If you're gonna use a build made by one of the most well known and recognized users in simple planes, at least don't make it look so ugly.
It's also not fair for others who genuinely spent time making original designs for this challenge.
I JUST realized that it's not a 15 part challenge, it's a 10 MINUTE challenge.... Oh well, I like it a lot anyway.
Is landing gear required?

Is p-factor really that drastic from a dead start?
Time to restore it into a racer
Sweet rebuild!
Oh my God the wing twist, the S ducting, the inlet bump, I love it so much!!
I can't favorite this for some reason, it's a good guide.
