That's a very nice shape. Try using fuselage to build the body it makes a better looking build you can hide the fuel inside the fuselage also. How you might ask since you are new. Get the fuselage reduce both ends to .25 width and height and then once you got a long rod, stick it on top of your gas cans, and go back in and edit it to the size that you want, and it will grow into the gas cans leaving them inside.
FYI same thing goes with wings they still function even inside of the fuselage.
You can set your gyro for an activation group and once you turn the gyro off by disabling the activation group it will hold it's position, same thing with VTOL keeping same thrust level after the activation group is disabled. I am pretty sure, I will double check. Yep it is true. @Shmexysmpilot
Very nice ship. Here are some notes.
Instead of the VTOL Jets, get rid of those and put in a rudder in the front to help you steer turning in the opposite direction of the back one.
Make the Rockets, left side action group 1, right side Action Group 2 - you don't want to waste ammo if your target is on a certain side.
You might want to use the half hemisphere. You can stretch it out using overload or fine tuner, and then plop it right on the bottom of the ship. the beauty of the hemisphere is you can turn the friction down which helps your speed versus the wind. My wind powered ship gets 54% speed, while your's only gets 32%.
Also black is a bad color with that background. When you take a picture to upload and you only get 3, try to make the very first one your best one, a nice close-up that takes entire vehicle into the picture. A better picture equals more traffic to this vehicle. More followers on your profile page equals more traffic. More traffic equals more downloads and more upvotes.
Either download the water designer background or paint the ship wood colored so it looks like a wooden sailing ship.
@exosuit the higher Point users are higher Point users for a reason. They have more time in game and more followers. The more followers you have the more people see your posts and are likely to upvote if it is good...and if you are Hi-Point user they better freaking be good.
But do you see them in the air?
JK @Treadmill103 I saw one not five minutes ago on a road here in California. Definitely not like this one though. It was black with red highlights.
@Jerushah maybe you should update the description telling us a little backstory on the vehicle, how to drive it, etc. etc. Did you make the boat? If so, don't give credit where credit's not due, and vice versa.
@JMicah4 if you get that system you won't want to play Simple planes guess you'll be too busy playing top-of-the-line awesome games that you can afford because you spent nine grand on the computer
@AndrewGarrison I am building a car and I like to use flattened clear cockpit from @Gestours cockpit mod, as glass. Is there any way we can get a clear cockpit from his mod and make it a part? Or just incorporate the whole mod. If possible in 1.7.
I was going back through your posts, and then noticing that your style started at about your third plane and after refining your style for a few more planes then you just stuck with it. Keeps getting better too.
@AndrewGarrison on the Wind feature I noticed that when you reload it will start at the same wind speed that you crashed at previously. It would be nice if it would reset down to like 10 or something so we could increase it at our will without it blowing our planes over off of the runway at restart.
Well blow me down.
The Winds of Change have come.
It's a long and windy road.
Put a windsock in it.
You are the wind beneath my wings.
All we are is Dust in the Wind.
And who can forget Song of the Wind
When you share a plane try to zoom in with the camera right before hitting the share, so that way it is easier to take a close up shot of your plane. The prettier the first shot, is the more traffic you will get.
As for the wings separating from each other during high-speed. I found that if you get fine the tuner mod, you will be able to nudge parts. What this means is you can attach a wing to a fuselage that is attached to your wing. You can make that fuselage any size and shape and nudge the wing into it so it is hidden inside the fuselage. Trust me, get the fine tuner mod, practice with it, play with it and you'll figure all that fun stuff out.
Very nice plane. Try to balance it a little better, use the center of a mass, the Red Dot and move it a little bit closer to the Blue. By adjusting Fuel and weight. Also you have a tad too much pitch so it makes it very difficult to get it level.
@LiamW it's okay, if you look at the videos, speed is not really ever a factor. I should get to yours after I sleep, I think there's only one more ahead of you that I have to do.
I was wondering when all those freeways were getting built, who was building them.
Alt.
You get a grade A in my class.

Can we use it to build some roads up north on Snowstone?
@kingofsteam sure go for it. We already had one with three wings. (It Dominated!) So another plane with 3 wings would even things out. I will put you up against him. @Mumpsy Black Baroness https://youtu.be/GigkfsDXpo as well as mine.
Oh and welcome

@EternalDarkness no, but on my list of things to do is to test this with the new gyroscope, see what happens.
Simply amazing

Sweet googly moogly.
I just saw somebody driving this in multiplayer

Thanks for bringing this to my attention I didn't get a chance to upvote @grandmother's Enzo Ferrari.

@MediciAviation243 Check out what I have been doing the last few months.
@sexylips35 oh. do negative length in overdrive. It turns it inside-out makes it so you can see in but not out.
Seriously can you link me to t-buckets profile I cannot find him.
@Jerushah maybe you should update the description telling us a little backstory on the vehicle, how to drive it, etc. etc. Did you make the boat? If so, don't give credit where credit's not due, and vice versa.
@Jerushah you said in the description that the boat was made by T Bucket. 😊
then we shall go find him and upvote him
Good old Lucy. Straight out of Guillermo del Toro's nightmares.

@Maxwell1 Bada bump chish
@Gestours Advanced cockpit mod will solve your clear cockpit problem. Besides you need it to download my newest plane
Does OSX not have spellcheck? Or is it the Swiss?
@ProvingMars thank you
and @Mahadi your planes might have been in my mind when I built this.
Let's go cruising. You and this, me in my Laker
@Swagginpiglet watch the videos trust me there is no advantage.
@phanps nope not too late. bring it on. make it a successor.
@Testin123 whatever the origin, it's already in the game why not make it part of the game for everybody. That's all I'm saying.
Oh yeah!

Yeah sure, There are a couple of entries that push the boundaries also. What the hell, it is all for fun.
Alternate universe World War 1
@Fjorge in real life I would have nice stretchy rope. not links in a chain that are barely held onto each other.
@Mikoyanster vids are up
@EternalDarkness I am working on a tugboat sailboat. I LOVE the wind in my hair.
@AndrewGarrison New tag for when this gets out of beta. "Wind powered" Which would cover sailboats and other. BTW Love this.
Well blow me down.

@RhysBrown you can enter more than one if you want you're only competing against yourself and the other people.

@Bluerobot11 new people need to learn or else they might get in trouble later.
@BaconRoll Oh come on, everybody else is able to go 200 on a single-engine two blades.
