Whatever you want. Just to spark your imagination, here’s some stuff I’m working on: gigantic gunship with ridiculous weaponry, rockcrawler with independant suspension and a multirole fighter with thrust vectoring, canards and v-tail. Or you could enter the attack helicopter challenge
@Sheeper I tried my best to get it easier to hover by making it hover at ~50% throttle. Unfortunately, simpleplanes is not made for quadcopters so it's very hard to get it flying properly. I have ideas for a better undercarriage but the next version won't come out soon. As for cockpit... I agree but couldn't be bothered fixing it. If you don't want cockpit view, use Freecam (if you're on PC)
Submarine
Sub: below
Marine: water
Space submarine: below water and in space
Water instantly evaporates and disperses in space so therefore this is impossible
@SkyEyeMCCIX yes, but could you tell if it was a heavy attack copter or a light recon? While it isn't invisible it is certainly deceiving and confusing to the enemy. If all else fails, it looks good
It’s possible if you build well enough. Most people are using exploit flyers which can be hypersonic. Let’s just say you won’t win if you get over 3min @RenxBlake
I would assume it would need to have air-ground attack capabilities. You’ll get no points for tanks destroyed or weapons categories. I dunno why you would bother entering it into an attack helicopter challenge but I am interested in it. Of course I’m just reading the rules not making them @randomusername
Those specs won’t let you run any game at 400fps. They’ll let you run any game at 40+FPS. A lot of games these days can’t be run by pretty much anything on max settings
You’ll always get nose droop at low speed for a realistic hypersonic craft. I simply made it controllable and limited drop as much as I could. As for why my canards don’t work on your craft:
You’ll need to make sure the wing part isn’t connected to anything else. If you continue having issues, I can help @atgxtg
I guess it is ok if you say where it came from. I've just seen sooooo many of these posts over the years that I have a default response @Minecraftpoweer
It’s a good idea for simulating snow landings but I only make stuff that should theoretically work. Wheels are simply better for hard landings and heavy craft. Skids have their place on light aircraft though @Ephwurd
@Razor3278 I think the chinook landing gear is no different to the stock landing gear (the front landing gear). I’ll make something custom to handle heavy impact
I think suspension performance is more important than looks so I go with separate wheels
+1Yes

+1No idea. I just know it’s possible. Probably not worth the effort @Brields95
The launcher is neat
+1@jamesPLANESii Not always the case
+1Do you mean speed relative to the ground or airspeed? Some Extra and Bipe aircraft can prophang (hover). I have several RC 3D aircraft that can hover

Don’t forget the chocolate @Mumpsy

It seems that most servers have dried up and disappeared while everyone uses the two mentioned below
I dunno. Maybe world peace, enlightenment and chocolate? @Mumpsy
Yeah... with engine exhaust, electronics and armament submerged. Not everything that floats is a boat @Tank6376
@Tank6376 No idea what you mean but thanks for the upvote
You just did @Aussiebogan3
Thanks for the spotlight! @marcox43
Thank you both! @Mercyaircraftcorporation @Aussiebogan3
I think it’s ounds great! It’s just a looong way from the rules @mikoyanster set @randomusername

"Plane"
sees P90, has flashbacks to Stargate SG-1
"Nice"

Plenty of people have done this before you. I’ve pulled this out of the game files as well but I didn’t upload it because I didn’t make it
@Razor3278 @Ephwurd I’ll make a civilian cargo variant with retractable bush plane suspension and bottom-opening bay. Well... it could be military too

Reminds me of my VAS spectre build... not that I’m advertising, just reminiscing

If you scale down cleaver missiles it should take out the ships in one shot. The beast will probably take two though
Thanks for the spotlight! @AviownCorp
Nope. It has to use wheels for high speed hard landings. Skids are only good for very light helicopters @Razor3278
If you like making LEGO stuff in games enough, you should look into it. But it is money of course @MTBCrafter
@Ephwurd @Razor3278 What type of landing gear would you recommend?
+1@Ephwurd Thanks!
Thanks for the spotlight!
@Minecraftpoweer
I’ll link a recent hypersonic WIP build of my own. I used all moving canards @atgxtg
@Razor3278 I sorta agree. I'll make an updated version sometime
@Treadmill103 Thanks for the spotlight! They're really gathering up now lol
I’m glad you think so! Bit different to my usual posts @Treadmill103
@Mumpsy Thanks for the spotlight!
You need to get your centre of thrust perfectly centred with the centre of mass to have it fly straight without trim at high speed.
Just set a crazy high fire rate and a custom tracer colour for the guns through overload or XML. That will make it look and work like a laser
@BobTheTitanSP Thanks for the spotlight!
@ColonelStriker Thanks for the spotlight!
You should make it on Brick Rigs as well
:D :D :D
LEGO!
