Depending on how exactly the wings go together @Alien, I might have a crack at it. I'll be discriminate if I try though: This bird is beautiful and I wouldn't want my heavy-handedness messing it up.
I'll take a look at it when I'm on my pc tomorrow. What exactly to you mean by weight balancing?
If it's COM behind COM there's an easy fix: remove what fuel you can from the wings and put it as far forward in the fuselage as possible. Works for 99% of designs.
@Sgtk I could have a go at adding them if you'd like. I've a penchant for either fixing designs (and this doesn't need fixing) or adding things. Such as folding wings.
@Smilohypo ha ha very funny. None of the aircraft that go up against yours have mods besides those to make custom landing gear function.
I'm not that much of a dick. I could be but I'm not 😜
@AmiYouri2007 it's accurate to the Hampden. That aircraft was styled in that way. The only real problem I've found us the tail-and charlie(s) can shoot their own tail off 😕
OK Guys,
the Aggressor aircraft has been updated as it had a few major issues in the AI's hands.
Also, anyone got any advice on how to blue-link aircraft? Can't seem to make it work.
I hope that someone puts two and two together. A design like this coupled with a description of an Aggressor jet? I wonder what kinda challenge that'll create...
@Skullzilla03 she does have a fair old number of flares and flown right she's not exactly a sitting duck. Feel free to play around and see if you can make her dogdight as well as she ground pounds...

Meh, I'll upvote this because it's not bad as a low-detail replica. Better than most of my attempts at anything resembling a real aircraft...
@ThePrototype Indeed. Apparently I need to learn to differentiate between social medias and blogs like this. Whoopsie
@ThePrototype fixed. My mistake.
@Stellarlabs 😂😂😂😂nice first comment
That's not half bad my friend, and a fitting tribute to a stunning aircraft killed in its infancy because of [redacted] politicians.
THAT woulda rattled the Yankee's cage. :p

Gotcha @Texasfam04, I'll take a look.
Alright, Time's up!
1st- @Cipher
2nd- @Texasfam04
I will deal with rewards asap. Thanks for participating guys!
8 hours left guys! Get your submissions in or else they won't be counted!
@Fluffy41000 simple fix. If possible use structural wings where possible. Primary wings have a nasty habit of doing that as they are flimsier.
Try building a late war jet styles aircraft. Something based on the 262 or the Meteor
I believe you build the love child of the F-14 and F-15 😉
@EternalDarkness Niiice.... Unless the SAS happen to be hiding nearby with a FIM-92. :p
@EternalDarkness reminds me a lot of the IA-58 Pucara. Nice build!
@PorkyClown3 Gotcha.
@spefyjerbf I've attempted that, Mouse-As-Joystick. God it's difficult. and yeah @PorkyClown3 I know about trim :)
Haha nice play on a Squadron Marking there, PL-T
Entered and Assessed.
@Sgtk I could have a go at adding them if you'd like. I've a penchant for either fixing designs (and this doesn't need fixing) or adding things. Such as folding wings.
Does she have folding wings or did the Sea Vixen not have them?
That's not half bad. Tempted to help your design along a bit by giving it moveable gun turrets and custom gear
@Smilohypo ha ha very funny. None of the aircraft that go up against yours have mods besides those to make custom landing gear function.
I'm not that much of a dick. I could be but I'm not 😜
@Smilohypo you think yours is hairy on takeoff? Try mine 😂
@FlyingManiac gotcha, thanks!
@weaselfan10101 yeah. I found that too luckily enough.
@Hayhayjam664 If you can edit the XML then set the collisions off.
The hell does it do besides soon and eject the casing?
@Cipher gotcha. remind me of that in the description btw, or else I'll forget.
@Cipher gotcha mate. Btw anyone know how to blue link things? Tried and failed to do that earlier...
@Cipher Add what you wish to the design. Those were suggestions, just make sure it's playable on mobile.
THE CHALLENGE HAS NOW CLOSED.
1st: @Smilohypo, 78pts
2nd: @diegoavion, 66pts
3rd: @FlyingManiac, 50pts
All rewards will be dealt with by the end of today. All (2) other entires will recieve 2 upvotes as honourable mentions.
Thanks for participating.
@Chinaman no problem.
@EGplanes generally via Overload as I'm a droidie.
@EGplanes Gotcha. I can think of a way to sort the bomb doors so they open on AG1 rather than needing the trim as well if you like. Easy XML edit.
@AmiYouri2007 it's accurate to the Hampden. That aircraft was styled in that way. The only real problem I've found us the tail-and charlie(s) can shoot their own tail off 😕
Ok guys the challenge closes TOMORROW. Get your designs in by midnight tomorrow or they won't count
@Cipher no, they're mainly therefor IOS who can't use overload or XML mods (looking at you @Smilohypo)
@Pilothouston5 it's sorted mate, or at least as good as I can make it.
Nice design. Did you remember to disable the collisions on the props? Otherwise the engines will rip themselves apart. Speaking from experience 😉
Working on it... There's a few other issues ive found though.

So, is this your entry for the TOP GUN challenge?
@Stingray the dogfight will be Entry x the Aggressor Aircraft in the description.
I may also do a knockout tournament as a later date.
Nice design. Still trying to find the Lancaster though :3
I hope that someone puts two and two together. A design like this coupled with a description of an Aggressor jet? I wonder what kinda challenge that'll create...
@Skullzilla03 she does have a fair old number of flares and flown right she's not exactly a sitting duck. Feel free to play around and see if you can make her dogdight as well as she ground pounds...
@WNP78 yeah I got it working now. It'sannoying how the units aren't really that intuitive unless you're a dev or have experimented for hours...
@Skullzilla03 flies pretty well too. Wouldn't fancy her chances in a dogfight though.
How do you use maxRange? Tried it on an inferno and set it to 10000 but it still had default lockon
