Also make sure that all the connections on each wing are the same. Sometimes when you mirror, it will connect a wing to more points and it causes it to roll
@SkylineAero the way I fix this is by not using the mirror aircraft feature. I only mirror a part to the other side and then manually attach it. When I do this I don’t have any problems with roll. Otherwise you have to check that the drag is equal on each side. Try removing one wing, copying the wing piece to the other side, and manually attach it to the exact same place the other wing is attached to. I know there is a more simple way to do it but I can’t remember it sadly
For each aircraft it will be slightly different. What is usually good to do is find a real aircraft with similar performance and characteristics to what you are making. Then make the engines have the same thrust as that and reduce your drag points until it has similar performance as the real aircraft :)
This is one of my favourite aircraft I’ve seen on here in a while. It looks fantastic and flies really well too. What could make it perform more realistically (real acceleration, energy loss/retention, climb rate, and airspeed) is by lowering the engine power to 1 and reducing the drag points to roughly 1100. It takes only a few minutes and it makes this thing fly similar to a BAC Strikemaster or Cessna tweet
Nice to see some of the pros from SimpleRockets2 come here finally. Will we get a button to copy both individual parts and groups of parts on mobile as well?
Looks excellent and flies pretty well. Is there a problem with the ailerons though? I’m not so well versed in this aircraft so maybe it’s just my ignorance.
This is one of the best F-84s I’ve seen on SP! I have an abandoned build of one of these that I feel the need to finish now. The flight characteristics of yours are great (especially the relatively low acceleration and long takeoff roll) but it could bleed off more energy when in a high G turn, especially while climbing. Overall though this is magnificent. Great work!
Looks cool but flight characteristics could be much better. The wing parts that you scaled down should have the aileron sections closer to the tip of the wings so that you don’t continue to roll after you stop inputting that command. There is also an enormous number of drag points which, together with the low wing area you gave the area, give it a bad glide ratio. Give it more wing area, distributed evenly throughout the wing, then reduce the drag points and you’ll have a nice flying aircraft
Decent looking plane but, as you said, it’s flying isn’t great. What will help is removing the pitch control surface in the main wing. This will make it manoeuvre more like a real aeroplane. When it also comes to the cosmetic side of the plane, the stabilisers and engine exhaust lines up too much. If this were a real aircraft, the exhaust (especially with afterburner on) would damage or destroy the stabiliser and elevators. Overall though cool plane!
This plane looks pretty cool but it just unfortunately doesn’t fly well, if at all. Moving your CoM forward of your CoL will greatly help you with this
@FeatherWing hey buddy! I see you changed your name. I’m doing all good. Just super busy with uni at the moment. I’m doing my dissertation and it’s taking up a lot of my time. How’s it been going for you?
Just to let you know, using images like that as your thumbnail for a non challenge post is against the rules. You should have made it a photo of your build because it looks cool!
@Soviet I will tell you what is impressive: how much you can trash my very old design, yet you made something using the exact same (extremely outdated method) which can’t even go one quarter of the distance mine can. Plus mine looks somewhat like an actual plane, yours is just... well a blob of blocks. Disappointing that all you are is talk

Lovely work! I think you mean gen z though since gen x is in their 50s ;)

Nice! Why would this be click bait?

@GuyFolk that’s pretty cool! Didn’t expect that from this aircraft at all

This is perfect. Beautiful build

@AnIndonesianPanzer I just made a few changes. Took me only 10 or so minutes. I uploaded it unlisted and tagged you so you can see it :)
@SussyBreadBoi haha I sent this before I messaged you there
@BreadDoBeKindaSus hey buddy! It’s been ages. I haven’t been on SimplePlanes for quite a while. I’m doing good though. What about you?
@AnIndonesianPanzer if you’d like I can fix it up for you so that it flies well but still looks almost exactly the same
@IceCraft haha yes as the name says

I love the fuselage on this but the wing profile doesn’t seem to fit
+1@IceCraft what do you mean?
The update I’ve been waiting for since the beginning
+1This is really great! I wish we could just copy over builds from SimplePlanes to SimpleRockets2
This plane looks pretty cool but it just unfortunately doesn’t fly well, if at all. Moving your CoM forward of your CoL will greatly help you with this
Even more copypasta. Nice!
@FeatherWing hey buddy! I see you changed your name. I’m doing all good. Just super busy with uni at the moment. I’m doing my dissertation and it’s taking up a lot of my time. How’s it been going for you?
Ahhh yes, le copypasta
@FeatherWing I think I asked this there before and it just got buried in all the other messages hahaha
@FeatherWing Yup I’m pretty sure I am still there
@PoomPoomTheCh980 2 MiGs is better than 1
+1@MrShenanigans yup! That’s what it’s supposed to be. It’s really just the front of the fuselage from my B-101 which is basically a jet B-29
Damn this thing flies so good. Fantastic build!
@Inuyasha8215 now that is a nice number
+1@Casparcheng for what?
Sure thing! I can't wait to see it @lilgreen06
This is really neat!
+1Looks very good and accurate but the take off speed and stall speed are both incredibly high, even with flaps
Damn this thing looks very cool!
I love it!
This is a beauty
+1Look pretty nice! It stallS a little fast but flies nicely overall. The rear of the central fuselage seems like it’s missing a piece though

+1@Soviet your username says all I need to know about you
@Soviet bruh this is 5 years old. Probably older than you are. The only thing unimpressive here is your attitude, little boy.
@Soviet Mr big man over here with 45 points in three in a half years has something meaningful to say huh
Lol Nice! Next you have to do that 777 with the engine and fuselage switched
+2Quite a cool build! Lots of unique features that you don’t see on other planes. I also like how you made the bombs. Very creative build!
@DOX no problem at all! Remember that dispute some of the issues it’s still a lovely build
@FeatherWing now it’s fixed
+1@FeatherWing oh shoot I sent the wrong link 😂
