@Dominik: "I tried hardly to match curves of the film tank." => 'hardly' means 'not at all' in this context, implying you just slapped the thing together in two minutes. You might, however, mean "I tried hard to...", "I did my very best to..." or some such thing.
Very original! It reminds me of that Swiss plane, Solar Implulse... Well done. (While on the runway, I was mightily worried the wings would snap off ^_^ )
Very /silly/ build. (Please note I'm a Monty Pyhon fan). Too bad it has no flying sheep missiles attached. BTW, this seems to use live half-axles. Wouldn't that make it a Tatra?
@Exumer: three stars because giving a rating means something else than blindly clicking five stars. You found a glitch, hence the three stars. Your plane has no undercarriage and you give no details about the glitch. Trying to debug software means documenting stuff and finding the cause *before* you publish. Hence no five stars. I'm not trying to be mean here, please understand. Some of the stuff @Scriefers, @Authros or @WalrusAircraft build is actually worth six stars. A LOT of effort there. Some of my stuff is good, some isn't. If you wish, rate them honestly. Not by automatically awarding five stars, I mean.
This is caused by the inlet and fuel tanks on the wing tips. Possibly drag force from the intakes damage the fuel tanks? Weird indeed, but then putting jet intakes on your wingtips doesn't work IRL too.
@AlphaOneIndustries: I understand. Those new parts are great! But there are also new depths of frustration ^_^ and the deleting of every plane I ever made before. They're just not the same anymore.
@Scriefers : I'm working on an Arado too but I 'm having trouble with the engine nacelles. May I ask if you plan to use fuselage parts and (probably) clipping or panels?
@WalrusAircraft: Eh, partly Antwerpen (Belgium), Köln (Germany) & London; been around a lot. I mostly like German designs (very happy Panzer enthousiast too) because of their /differentness/. They have very wild parties, too...
It's nice to see one of your planes... I think the wing surfaces are off, too big and too much swept back for a -25. That would increase drag. Also, those Tumansky's are HUGE. Increasing the game's jet engines would be appropriate, with a slider (70-150 kN for the largest ones) like the props and an afterburner option.
As usual, great work! I love the bomb bay doors and the 'fat boy'-type bomb (for comical effect) but perhaps the nose of the plane still needs a little work. I believe it's a bit lower and more square...
The first working lifting body design I've seen.... Its rather ugly (sorry) but it works really well! I dont get how you lift the landing gear (cant get them down again) and maybe you could use "flying" bombs like I do on my Cyclone. Wonderful!
Thanks for the feedback guys! As to the bombs; this is a 'strategic' bomber hence the clustering on 2. I'm working on a dive bomber with selective drop buttons...
@AeroEngineering and @WalrusAircraft: gentlemen, we seem to be at war! Check reddit ^_^
@Dominik: where are you from? I'm mainly Belgian. Most people here are from the US, it'd be nice to have somone else from 'the continent'. ;)
@Dominik: Looks nice, BTW. I'll download and rate when I get the chance.

@Exumer: you might have noticed my five star rating on that weird VTOL plane of yours. I found that really cool!
Beautiful build and excellent ordnance. It's a bit nose heavy, though... (on iOS). I could solve it by changing fuel stowage.
Had a lot of fun with this one! And very original, THIS one gets five stars ;)
@jwdewald: Thanks! (Bedankt? Danke? Name sounds Germanic-ish...)

@WeeBabySeamus: But, but, but because of the lot of you I have many nice things!

@AndrewGarrison: I'm glad you liked the 'story' post! You might notice more of these in the future ;)

@AlphaOneIndustries: oops, assumption on my part. My apologies. Eh, this runs on a Kindle? (Apparently, yes)
@Viper28: Thanks mate!
@AlphaOneIndustries: I believe they submitted it to Apple... so it appears your update is in Cupertino's hands.
@AeroEngineering: That's why my next project is a Ta-152 ;)
@WalrusAircraft: Thanks! Have you ever visited luft46.com?
@Scriefers : I'm working on an Arado too but I 'm having trouble with the engine nacelles. May I ask if you plan to use fuselage parts and (probably) clipping or panels?
@jheffernan @BattleBulge - thanks guys!
And whence comes the mighty lion of the seas, if I might inquire?
@WalrusAircraft: Eh, partly Antwerpen (Belgium), Köln (Germany) & London; been around a lot. I mostly like German designs (very happy Panzer enthousiast too) because of their /differentness/. They have very wild parties, too...
@WalrusAircraft Jr: thanks mate, today I'm adding functional drop tanks for even more reach!
@WalrusAircraft: I was inspired by your B-17... Something had to be done about that thing bombing the Heimat.
@WalrusAircraft: I feel honoured, sir. May the Lord of Aerodynamics be with you both.
This deserves the full five stars. I love the detail, especially the air brake and tilted air intakes... Wonderful! Also the missiles, very good.
@WalrusAircraft: thanks, that means a lot to me!
@Madlycat: as far as I understood the rediit bit, they'll release the update to all very soon.
@kikasshes: seeing the improvement in rating figures it's about twentysix pas twelve at night, Euro time. Thanks for the rating!
@Mrwhiskers85: that's what you get when you clip parts IRL ^_^
@FlyingGatsby: thanks mate, I do prefer this version as well. It's got much more of that Heinkel stockiness... It's a little too small, though.

@MadlyCat: with me, it took about a week. Can't wait, huh?
@WalrusAircraft: I see no Major Kong :) - Can't a '52 carry two of those side by side?
Thanks very much!
Oh, these are very nice indeed. They're just a b&€@ to mount because they won't mirror. Must've been a lot of work, thanks!
As usual, great work! I love the bomb bay doors and the 'fat boy'-type bomb (for comical effect) but perhaps the nose of the plane still needs a little work. I believe it's a bit lower and more square...
Looks like a Tucano lol
Very nice indeed, sir! Are you also *really* busy upgrading planes? ^_^
Excellent aircraft! I usually don't like clipped aircraft so I enjoy this clean, stable design very much.
@Spiritus Yes, I noticed... Good solution! This is one of the few planes I download and actually use. Waiting for the fighter model!

@deth: I just love the BV designs... Check out my p.170 and p.215 as well!
