@100 no I mean it moves in the opposite direction of how it’s supposed to for the planes movement. When the plane is pitching up, the elevators pitch down
Wow your choice of planes to build is amazing! These are mostly all amongst my favourite aircraft and I try to find diecast versions of these as much as I can. I’ve not had any luck with this one though but it’s fun to see it in SimplePlanes!
@Skykid028 no worries, after you replied to me, when I looked at it quickly I actually read that too but then I checked a second time and it didn’t say that hahaha
@AtotallynormalAircoDH2 nah. The previous post already did that. You didn’t even actually make this, you just deleted the rest and posted this, so it’s even a copy without any changes made by yourself
Just an fyi, the rules state “ Don't use offensive symbols, unless they are necessary for historical accuracy (ie - Swastikas should only be used on things like a WW2 German Bomber).”
I absolutely love this plane. It just looks fantastic. Has that beautiful 30s-40s look. I also love the rudimental defensive gun. Just letting you know though, the RPK was designed and built in the very early 60s
I played around with it a bit more and there are a few things I think you can do to make this fly waaaay better (not that it flies bad now). Because you lowered the drag points a lot, it can now reach its realistic max speed without having insane acceleration. However, because of the lack of drag points, this thing hardly loses energy at all when a real plane should. I was pulling an 8 G min radius turn at 45% throttle starting at 340KIAS and it kept accelerating when in reality that should bleed off energy very quickly. There are two simple things I would highly recommend to make this fly a lot more realistically. One is to reduce the engine power to get a realistic TWR. That will make acceleration even more realistic and make the takeoff roll longer like it is in real life. Second, I would add two air breaks with a variation of this command in the “input” section:
clamp01((2+AngleOfAttack)/-14)
This will make the air breaks activate the higher your AoA is (it will start at 2 degrees and extend fully at 14 degrees). This means that even though you don’t have the drag points to somewhat realistically simulate drag induced energy loss, you can synthetically recreate it with the air breaks. If you add them to your plane around your CoL and have them open to the sides, it should make this plane handle a lot closer to the real thing.
@Bullozeee fair but I think it would be worth it to just get rid of the gear system and make it no clip into the fuselage especially since this is a modification of someone else’s build
@Samoa I honestly can’t seem to find something different about this than my other ones. All I know is I will be using your wheels to make my cars now 😂. I never post them so you’ll probably never get to see it but I really appreciate your build hahaha
@Zilozite literally just move the ailerons to the edges of the wings and they’ll work much better. If you need anymore help or have other questions, let me know :)
@32 I used to make manually guided missiles which were decently controllable but it was really hard to hit another plane. Was not too bad for hitting a ground target though. Only issue was that I’d have to hope my plane wouldn’t crash from my missile manoeuvres since they’d both be reacting to the same inputs 😂
Wow this is really neat! It drives really well. How’d you get it to not slide around at all? Whenever I try to make a car it always slides and drifts around a lot if I make a turn that’s anything but gentle
I love this thing! The elevator control surfaces could be bigger to have a trim that’s actually effective, especially at high altitudes. Other than that, this is fantastic. Very cool looking

One of my favourite aircraft of all time! I absolutely love the Six

Love this build! I have a 1/72 model of this plane and I always thought the nose looked very SimplePlanes like.
Wonderful build! Love the look of this aircraft and you made it fly pretty well!
@DalandanMan23 yes I did! It’s some cool details added to it which made it even better
@Skykid028 no worries, after you replied to me, when I looked at it quickly I actually read that too but then I checked a second time and it didn’t say that hahaha

This is really neat! Flies pretty well
@Skykid028 sorry but for what challenge? The build it’s from is just a post of different WWII flags and uniforms from over 4 years ago
Just an fyi, the rules state “ Don't use offensive symbols, unless they are necessary for historical accuracy (ie - Swastikas should only be used on things like a WW2 German Bomber).”
Pretty good job!
Nice build but just fyi, the elevators move in the opposite direction than they’re supposed to!
F-16 who ate too much?
Pretty cool looking! And don’t worry it’s not hard to land :)
+2Nice job! Feels a little small but still looks good and is fun to fly
Pretty decent!
Jeez what a monster! Nice build
+2@MemrWii nah not at all. I’m just a gun nerd so I had to say hahaha
+1From just the outline, I could tell it was supposed to be Italian

+3The smaller surface to surface missiles don’t seem to ignite. They just pop up and then drop back on the ship
Pretty cool build! I like it
actually playing around with it more I would recommend clamp01((1.5+AngleOfAttack)/-8)

Pretty nice! I like that it doesn’t pull insanely hard Gs
Have we not learnt from the mistakes of Kelly Johnson hahaha
Looks really good!
+1@Bullozeee sounds pretty cool!
@Bullozeee maybe time for ME-262 (modified), 2, the sequel
Would love to see the new updated version of this one!
+1I love sky on fire. Such a fun game
+1Lmao layered ERA
@Bullozeee fair but I think it would be worth it to just get rid of the gear system and make it no clip into the fuselage especially since this is a modification of someone else’s build

+1@C47skytrain but if that’s actually what happened to his account, that’s pretty sad
+1@C47skytrain lmao I’m 24 and live in my own apartment in a different country to my parents. I think I’m safe 🤪
My dad actually thinks this whole SimplePlanes thing is pretty cool. He likes aviation but isn’t as interested in it as I am.
+1@Zaineman thanks for the name! Was curious about it. It sounds similar to what I thought it was
now this was amazingly fun to drive! Not sure if you’re taking requests but it would be awesome to see the red bull car as well! Team Max all the way
Time to make my iPhone heat up 😎
So you gave it a stick?
Wait for lift shouldn’t the flaps move in the opposite direction when pulling back on the stick?
+1@Zilozite literally just move the ailerons to the edges of the wings and they’ll work much better. If you need anymore help or have other questions, let me know :)
Whoa this is pretty cool! Nice build :)

What actually happened to SPARK1645?
+1@32 wow that was a flashback. Can’t believe that was so many years go now.
Wow this is really neat! It drives really well. How’d you get it to not slide around at all? Whenever I try to make a car it always slides and drifts around a lot if I make a turn that’s anything but gentle
+1I always find the proportions of the B-24 so goofy with how much longer the wingspan is than it’s length. Nice build!
