This is pretty neat! The shape is nicely done and it flies quite well. One thing I would change is to make the rear landing gear a small one. Aircraft with gear in this configuration need to be “tail dragging” in order to properly lift off the runway. If you want to keep the large gear, you would have to move it right behind the CoM. Also the propellors could use would some more length and less power to give a slightly more real appearance. Overall though this is a lovely build
@WarHawk95 if you add this pod to a larger slower aircraft, you can get it done. You just need to disable the control surfaces of the plane so that it won’t fly around or away from you
@WarHawk95 it’s pretty cool! I made many versions of this before but never uploaded because I find that the string wobbles in an odd way sometimes but yours seems to be working well! I made one out of the pistons once which works better but it can’t go too far back without breaking. Did you ever manage to refuel with this?
@RascallyGoose49 only the two mods built into the game, which can be accessed through the main menu, will be available for iOS. iOS does not support mods
I’m not sure if anyone has reported this issue (not sure it’s a bug) but I can no longer access the custom paint pallet. The metallic and gloss level control is also no longer there
@Uncel I can see what I can do. I haven’t been on in a while and my notifications are completely full. Can you tag me in an unlisted version of the build?
@LucasNicky sadly it seems like planes are moving out of there. Some have been traveling to other museums and airfields across the UK but not all the aircraft placed there are able to be moved. It’s not looking good
@Alta2809 yeah go for it! If you have me on discord message me there when you tag me because I don’t check my notifications on SP that often at the moment
Quite a cool looking aircraft! The idea behind its shape is quite neat, sort of like a dh hornet. I would say that the proportion sizes are a little off though. The cockpit looks wrong for its size and placement. The wing is also quite wide. Other than that I do like it and the engines are quite cool too. They could do with some more cooling intakes though for their size
@jelybaca i mean with that you can also say that all museums are pointless because paintings and fossils don’t do anything but just sit there hahaha. Part of the airfield is pretty much a museum but I’m glad you see my point!
@jelybaca why are they useless? They are pieces of history that deserve to be remembered. Not many of them fly but they are wonderful for people to look at and be inspired by
@KnightOfRen in all honesty, this took me 2.5 hours to do. I didn’t make a custom wings back then and all the detail is relatively simple. Take it apart and you will see. Now I take forever to build just one plane though hahaha
@Braves67 I’m also a mobile user. It gets easier. But to take down a post? You can do that when you click on the arrow next to the number of downloads. You don’t need to take this down though if you don’t want
@Braves67 yeah probably because it will be an original build hahaha. To get more upvotes and downloads, try making your own aircraft. A MiG-21 is fairly easy to make because of its nice tubular shape and delta wings. If you want to make one but need some help let me know and I’d be glad to help you out :)
@MDDJB ahhh okay I understand. If you need any info about planes or photos and diagrams of them feel free to ask! I can take photos of it and post them for you. Also if you have discord you can add me and I’ll send you plane information for your future builds :)

@MSGamezYXZ360 it’s awful that the new owners would want to forcibly remove such lovely history and something that makes that airport great
Pretty nice build! The stabilisers look a bit too thick and the tips of the wings as well but the overall shape is very good
This is really well done! Excellent job!
Is it too late to join the iOS beta testing group?
+1This smoothing is going to be fantastic. Lots of time will be saved with this!
+1@Mei_IrizakiTheAnnoyingOne go ahead if you still feel like it :)
Man you’re improving so much! Amazing work
Sad to see these go. The dash 8 looked really good in their old livery. I don’t have a problem with less purple in the sky though
+1Damn this is really amazing man!
+1Ahh yes, the classic “added more weapons” post
Damn this is amazing!

@GreatKhan yes I most certainly do! This is a great looking one
+1@Alta2809 yeah go for it! If you have me on discord message me there when you tag me because I don’t check my notifications on SP that often at the moment
@Diloph that’s pretty cool! Did you finish it already?
@rexzion my thoughts exactly. Can’t wait to see airshows again after all restrictions are lifted

+1@rexzion I haven’t heard any news on it yet. If I find out, I will make a followup post and tag you
@qwerty132 totally agree. It’s a terrible look for them

@emanuelga ohhh hahaha yeah this is a fictional version I think though
@emanuelga told me what?
Possibly the most odd thing I’ve read on the SP forums
This is quite a neat aircraft!
People be commenting thicc but this is one skinny boi
Whoa! What a beauty!
Awesome! Just bought it again (third copy I’ve got) so now I can finally add some custom thumbnails with mods!

+1Ahh yes, thanks for posting what I was planning on posting already 🙃
If this didn’t have the cockpit in it, it would be an interesting advanced tutorial
+1Before I even read the title it reminded me of pod racing. Would be cool if the main wing was split into two
+1This feels more like I’m flying in DCS rather than SimplePlanes! Excellent work and beautiful flight model!
+3@MDDJB no worries man! I hope you can get that VPN :)
+1Now this is a good looking plane!
