This has some features I love and then some that confuse me. Firstly, why no trim and the flaps are reversed. Second, I think the acceleration is a little too slow once airborne at full throttle but I do like that it’s at least not hyper fast like most builds. The claims rate feels a little slow and it’s hard to reach a realistically fast cruise speed even on full throttle. The easy departure from flight is an amazing feature but I think it stalls too soon. I’m not an FW190 pilot though so I’m no expert but these are just some observations. Overall though I really love this build and like the attention to detail you put in. I prefer underpowered slightly to the majority of the hyper fast and manoeuvrable planes you usually get here. Great job on this one!
@Franch0o1 the mirage has very good instantaneous manoeuvrability but bleeds off energy very fast and is not great at low speed handling. At least the old ones. However, it had decent acceleration
@MrCOPTY I know this is old but maybe the 9X has lock on after launch? Which allows for that? I know the IRIS-T is supposed to do that and I think the python 5 but I don’t know how well that would work
Not too bad! I’d recommend not using the mods and just the standard weapons so that people on mobile can also get the full experience but that’s up to you of course! Again same thing here with the landing gear but other than that it’s a neat little build. If you want to customise weapons, there are lots of ways to do that. You can even change the scale of the explosions on the standard bombs and missiles
Now this thing sure is cursed! Very fun though! Just to let you know I think the left elevator trim had something go wrong with it since only the right one works
@StrikeOnMyCommand smaller creators often have some really fun builds and I enjoy that. It’s also fun to give people tips and watch their builds improve. Recently I’ve been at home sick and not at work so I had a lot of free time to use SimplePlanes hahaha. I guess there’s something good about the flu
@Maksim4567 I particularly like that you actually made the aircraft fly roughly straight while you’re controlling the drone. There are also better ways to do this using simple commands that you can add into the control surfaces of the aircraft. There are even commands you can use to make sure that the plane continues along in level flight. If you want to make more planes like this, you might want to look into this. I think there is a forum post somewhere where it explains how to use funkytrees (the command code for this) or you can take apart other peoples planes to see what commands they used for it. Looking forward to see what else you build :)
This is honestly quite a fun design. Well done! One thing I would recommend though is to put the landing gear closer to where the CoM is when the plane doesn’t have the suicide drone on it. That way, takeoff will be much smoother
@DarDragon this is perfect! I just needed to make it -30 for it to work normally but it’s exactly what I needed. Thank you so much for your help with this! I’ve been trying to figure it out for ages
@Dogedogebread13 you have finally become self aware, my child. Welcome to reality. It may be hard to accept, but it is the truth and the truth will set you free
I love this! Simple and elegant build style. My favourite combination is when planes are aesthetically pleasing the way this one is and fly realistically. Great combination
@Scrugy51 one thing that will definitely help you is if you make the plane more similarly sized to a real airliner. This one is only 11x11 meters. Make it more like 30-50x30-50 meters. That way, you’ll have plenty of space to hide the wheels in the fuselage when they retract and you can use the large engines available in SimplePlanes. Hope this helps :)
Very nice! Flies pretty realistically even if the acceleration is a bit excessive. If you reduce drag points and reduce engine power, it should have a more realistic acceleration and have an overall top speed too which will get it closer to actual gripen at lower altitudes even
This is pretty nice! Looks decent and flies pretty good. One thing I will recommend is not putting your rear landing gear back like that. Put it just a little behind your aircraft’s CoM. That way, takeoff will be smoother and more realistic
This was also one of my first uploads! SimplePlanes was quite different back then but it’s funny how we chose the same colour for the plane. Nice build!
@Kangy yes it has been a while! I’m doing pretty good and I hope you are too. I’ve been making quite a lot of planes on here and SR2 but I just never feel the need to post them anymore hahaha
@Rb2h tbr, i think the majority of players are on mobile so I don’t know. SP will still definitely be better for making wacky designs if I understand how the physics in that game work
Really well made! You got the shape down almost perfectly and I like that you tried to make the takeoff roll a little long and difficult to get down the real features of this plane. Just wondering why it has an afterburner though. Also, if you lower the thrust to weight ratio and reduce the drag points, it will still be able to reach its realistic top speed while also having more realistic flight characteristics. Awesome job overall!
Pretty nice! Looks great and handles really well. One question though, why not make the 20mm a functional?
+1@sergio666 thanks for the spotlight!
+1@TASTEinc I’d love a full review and a video if possible 😂

+1Lmao imagine the motion sickness from trying to fly this from the cockpit in VR
+1You’ve quickly become one of my favourite builders on the site. You make beautiful aircraft
+1This is absolutely beautiful! Very well recreated. A nice amount of detailing and it flies fantastically well. Very very well done
+1@Franch0o1 the mirage has very good instantaneous manoeuvrability but bleeds off energy very fast and is not great at low speed handling. At least the old ones. However, it had decent acceleration
+1I love this! Very sleek design that’s extremely aesthetically pleasing. Very well made

+1@TASTEinc like a voodoo who ate a few too many AIR-2 Genie missiles
+1@HokagoAerospace I think he has a bit of a way to go with other stuff before discussing custom landing gear

+1@100 okay I guess it’s a site issue. Was worried something weird happened to my account
+1冰淇淋
+1Nice ship! Low part count makes it smooth and easy to run and nice controls. Making it that all guns can fire simultaneously would be a great addition

+1You should definitely credit the actual builder. On this post and all your others
+1Yo this is actually amazingly fun to play around in. I love it. Nice job!
+1@DarDragon this is perfect! I just needed to make it -30 for it to work normally but it’s exactly what I needed. Thank you so much for your help with this! I’ve been trying to figure it out for ages
+1I’ve seen a lot of designs on SimplePlanes but I gotta say, I think this is the first of this kind that I’ve seen
+1Pretty neat aircraft!
+1Wow I didn’t know the Boig Jambo Jat made poops
+1It’s basically a third gen YF-17 which is practically an F/A-18A
+1This is a fun thing to fly in! Only issue is the flaps are in the way of the engines but apart from that it’s pretty cool!
+1@Dogedogebread13 you have finally become self aware, my child. Welcome to reality. It may be hard to accept, but it is the truth and the truth will set you free

+1I like this!
+1Reminds me of Tu-22 so the first thought I get is “hey Ivan, where is alcohol used for airconditioning cockpit?”
+1Cool MiG but I’ve got some questions about your name 🤔
+1This thing is pretty zoomy
+1@Kangy yes it has been a while! I’m doing pretty good and I hope you are too. I’ve been making quite a lot of planes on here and SR2 but I just never feel the need to post them anymore hahaha

+1I really love the look of this aircraft, especially the cockpit shape and positioning. Would love to see this with moving control surfaces!
+1Pretty cool! If you move the landing gear closer to the CoM, it will take off much easier. Nice build
+1What a brilliant way of making tracks!
+1@TASTEinc that’s awesome! I would love to see one of those flying
