@EternalDarkness Indeed, but it's easily the best build I've done yet. I'll definitely look to building cockpit elements in the future too- as it turns out Overload is a godsend for that!
@WaffleCakes Exactly! EVEN then they could make the challenge a tad easier by giving it arrestors. Tiny can either stay without or have less wires and no catapult
@Datom put the aircraft name in square brackets and the URL in normal brackets with no space between:
[Link Text] (Link) but remove the space between the two
@FlyGuy2022 Shouldn't do... leaving a double wheel at the back and making sure there isn't any asymmetry should fix that. Otherwise, regard it as realistic handling. The Camel was known as a b!!!h to fly and scary...
Download Overload XML, it'll allow the adjustment of rotators especially where input groups are concerned.
From there, have a play about and learn it. Good fun once you master it.
@GhostHTX You've seen my design, it looks like a blind man designed mine (thanks potato mouse and rig). Either way I give you good odds of waltzing out the door with the prize on this challenge.
@Franticmatty my design decided to make itself no longer a successor, so I'll blue-link it. It easily wins the prize... for ugliest thing airborne. Milton-Stanford Vanquisher
@JohnnyBoythePilot Yup. It took a little playing around with settings and removing the annoying postprocessing effects e.g. blur but she works a treat. Even in Vietnam on the Unsung mod. Hope Charlie likes the taste of napalm 3:)
@JohnnyBoythePilot Not a problem, in the 20 or so test runs I made today with both designs, it was quite tight in places. Sometimes mine would like into terra firm a within a few checkpoints, sometimes the Bullet would, sometimes they'd both make the finish.
Might pan out different at times but that's the way today went. I ended up putting different versions of the earlier Scythes against each other which led to this- with a good deal of inspiration from the Bullet's jet canard design ;)
Creds to you @JohnnyBoyThPilot: the Bullet flies so well, I used it as a benchmark for my latest entry to the Bandit Tournament. It's nowhere near as good-looking as this, but it may prove a worthy adversary- IF it survives the early knockout rounds. Leeman Incorporated Scythe XI
Try using a gyroscope to keep it upright? You can then use finetuner to push it inside the frame and voila, a working securitron.
Welcome in advance ;)
@TheRussiansAreComing Thankoo, keep at it and you'll make silver as well mate
@EternalDarkness Indeed, but it's easily the best build I've done yet. I'll definitely look to building cockpit elements in the future too- as it turns out Overload is a godsend for that!
@EternalDarkness this is the result when I use your designs (T-4 especially) as an inspiration. Whaddaya reckon?
@EternalDarkness Likewise, except it's tilted invariably to the "error" end of the spectrum.
@WaffleCakes Exactly! EVEN then they could make the challenge a tad easier by giving it arrestors. Tiny can either stay without or have less wires and no catapult
Slam on the brakes he'll fly right by!
Any advice on building custom cockpits? Been considering it on various builds but I doubt I have the skill to make it happen :/ ...
Flying Boat seems more appropriate for the airframe you've got there.
It'd be nice to see them add arrestors and catapults. I know there's a mod for it but I find said mod is unreliable...
@Datom Not a problem, took me a few million years to figure it out...
Crude, but not bad.

+1Not bad, though I'd use resizeable wheels to make the undercarriage at the front...
@JohnnyBoythePilot Still a sweet design
Didn't even notice the third wing initially, nice looking build though!

What's 'er payload?
0.0 Blows my entry clean out of the water...
@IAmMyBoss You'll have to wait a few hours, I don't get home till about 2.30 UTC.
Simple yet cool design. Be good to incorporate into a bigger design...
Those engines don't tend to connect to parts properly after you upsize them, tried it before...
Aww... no Hoff. Nice build all the same, I bet K.I.T.T does a better job without him driving :p

Fooking awesome! Dambuster time.
@TankCommanderX The important question is whether it now works.
@TMR9001 Again, learn to be civilised or find a new past-time.
Regards, MEER.
@TMR9001 doesn't mean you have to be arrogant.
@FENRIRpapapa No problem, this design really reminded me of the TSR-2
Shift the center of mass forward, by reducing the amount of field blocks far back and adding a tailplane unless it's a delta.
@TMR9001 no need to be rude, just give him advice if you're unwilling to fix it...
Looks sweet...
@T8flightcrafts Looks nice, so hopefully 'interesting' doesn't refer to near-chaotic handling...
Quirky trimotor design...
Those BUFFs are screwed now. Muahahahaha!

@JohnnyBoythePilot My old laptop was barely able to run it, I've got my best mate's old rig and that just about works for me. On WT and A2...
@JohnnyBoythePilot Gotcha, I detest of J7Ws in War Thunder, they're cancer to bombers 😵

@asteroidbook345 I just hope I get entries Hahaha...
@asteroidbook345 Coincidence. I'm British and I completely forgot that December 7th is the Pearl Anniversary...
Da, comrade! This is the pride of mother Russia!
Seriously nice build though.
If there's something strange, in your neighbourhood...
How the hell did you turn a Ford Ambulance into a Mini? Still not a bad job.
This is the self preservation society, the self preservation society...
@NFIGMT oh... I thought I meant dangerous for the pilot rather than anyone stodd beneath it...
Dangerous... how?
@drgunblood that can happen. It takes a little tweaking of the gyro position...
