@SilverStar Why are trim and flaps reversed on this build?
Great question! This was a necessary adjustment to ensure that the visual control surfaces match the actual aerodynamic behavior of the aircraft in SimplePlanes. Here's how it works:
Technical Explanation:
Hidden Wings & Structural Covering:
Like many builders, I covered the wings with structural parts for a more realistic appearance. The actual lift-generating wings are hidden beneath.
Control Inputs for Pitch Adjustment:
The horizontal stabilizers (at the rear) control pitch and can be adjusted by both the trim slider and the main pitch input.
The flaps (on the mid-wings) are normally controlled by the VTOL slider but also affect pitch slightly, much like stabilizers do.
Flap Lift vs. Trim Lift:
On most aircraft, flaps generate more lift than the Trim of horizontal stabilizers, but in my build, the horizontal stabilizers actually produce more lift than the flaps.
To match the expected movement, I assigned the trim function to the visual flap covers (fuselage which looks like a flap), so they move when the trim slider is adjusted, giving the illusion that the flaps are responding to trim.
Reversing the Controls for Realism:
Since my aircraft's trim (horizontal stabilizers) has a greater aerodynamic effect than the flaps, I assigned the trim adjuster to control the flaps visually while the VTOL slider adjusts the stabilizers.
This way, what you see on the aircraft matches how it actually behaves aerodynamically, creating a more immersive and realistic flight experience.
Final Note:
I originally tried switching the technical control inputs (instead of the visuals), but it didn't work correctly. So, I adjusted the visual control assignments instead. The end result? The aircraft behaves correctly while also looking accurate!
@SemedianIndustries Thanks, I see. It's awsome and it looks like it will provide lots of information while judging. Still, if you can find more feedbacks i want to consider all.
Unfortunately it does not work on my device, I get less than 1 fps. If there are at least 3 people who can rate the movement performance, weapons, playability from 1 to 10, can they tag me and give me their scores? In the final case, the score will be close to the average of the 3 points. I would be better if you could help (at least gold rank for reliability)
@SemedianIndustries If i can test it properly i will accept. My device starts lagging at aprx. 1500 pieces but i think i can test it with some huge fps loss.
@MobileBuilder21 Wait for it!
@MobileBuilder21 Sorry I can't do that. But I'm planning a new challenge after current one ends. You can join that.

@ComradeComissar Is April 15 Okay? Because im planning another challenge after that.
@Grob0s0VBRa @ComradeComissar
As i promised before i'm delaying the deadline.
NEW DEADLINE IS APRIL 15
(Tell me if you want to join but need time)
@SemedianIndustries Thanks, I see. It's awsome and it looks like it will provide lots of information while judging. Still, if you can find more feedbacks i want to consider all.
@PlaneFlightX
Thank you for your rating. Your detailed feedback will help so much.
@MalaySmoker You are right. I checked other posts. You deserve 7 points for it.
@MalaySmoker So +2 Points for post content

Unfortunately this is not a superweapon but i like this so i will upvote.

This can be considered a superweapon.
@Grob0s0VBRa If you want to join i can make the challenge a little bit longer.
@Riyadqadri Ok. Here is an upvote as honorable mention reward.
I can not judge this as a superweapon because this is not.
@bumaxi I will announce winners after challenge ends.@Riyadqadri
+1@bumaxi Click on the blue text it's the link
+1@Rb2h Oh, thanks
+2@bumaxi CL-1201 is already done
+1@SemedianIndustries Actually its too huge but i think i can judge it.
@MalaySmoker Make it as powerful as you can.
+1@SemedianIndustries If i can test it properly i will accept. My device starts lagging at aprx. 1500 pieces but i think i can test it with some huge fps loss.
+3@IMCI Something like a superwepon base will be ok.
+2@IMCI Yep
+2@Rb2h
+1and why?
@L1nus Yeah, this will be a problem for them.
@blt I really appreciate your work but this gun is not a superweapon.
+1.
Dictionary meaning of superweapon
@L1nus Sorry but what did you mean by "FT flying"?
@SimplePotato
Challenge is closed
@MrPigee I will test it but later.
@fgy123456789 They don't release. Just doors open.
@Theinfinite I really liked your design but this is just a regular bf-109 it has to be a superweapon to participate in the challenge.
@AquaViT Yes, but don't forget to set it to zero-rotation. When it's finished press AG1 to start jammer.
+1@Panzerwaifu69 Ok
@Panzerwaifu69 What kind of spaceship is it?
+1Your locking circle will not align with enemy if you rotate cockpit.
