@Viper28 In this case, it'd be a bit hard to fit with the missiles there. The center of mass is probably some point behind the wings so it wouldn't stand upright anyway.
@Viper28 Usually you'll get a sort of bicycle effect, which makes it near impossible to takeoff if your craft isn't perfectly balanced. A tricycle effect usually works best whether the lone gear be on the nose or tail, and it's a lot easier to steer.
@SkyborneFox Also, I've been developing a multirole super-plane under the codename "Ethereal". When the first models come out, would you like to help me?
@Wahoo12 Thanks ^^ Figured the A-7 would be a decent dive-bomber, and Peregrine falcons are dive-bombers in themselves, so you can make the connection =3
the way I do it is look at real-life aircraft from the past and try to replicate them. It doesn't turn out exactly like irl, but that gives you a really solid base to develop a plane. I did that with the Corporeal series that was inspired by the U-2 spy plane, and my A-7 Peregrine was inspired by the P-61 Black Widow.
@SPS13 I figured having variant programs would help me keep the base of a plane, but learn how to work with it to make it even better. Alas, I think the Corporeal frame has reached its apex, so perhaps we could start fresh with the Ethereal.
Man, no drag view??? Oh come on, tat's how I streamline my jets!! It's one of those subtle but massively important things-- like toilet paper! To me, the drag view in SP is like toilet paper. Simple, but effective.
@helix44 Aye. Production has been switched. The Corporeal research program may be terminated in favor of the Ethereal. hopefully, it will advance far enough for our craft to surpass the others with leaps and bounds.
@ThunderstormAviation
Lol thanks XD But yeah I'm a river otter :P I figured I'd save that name for a river plane. Alas, I'm far from that, but I'm working on it =3
@Flakmagnet I know ^^ I've been working on that in the background, but figured I should just throw in the Corporeal until I have it just right. Thanks, tho, and congrats! I hope you make it far!
@SkyborneFox Alright so I've added two more engines. I may, however, need to redesign the hull to keep the WW2 engine style. I may go for a more PBY Catalina look.
I don't have a Smart Phone, and I don't intend to ever get one, but I do love this idea!! Maybe, like Skype or something, it could be ported to PC, too :D Yus pls.
@SPS13 x3 Thanks!! I'm glad you like it~ It took forever to get working on land, now I just need someone to come along to help me get it working by sea XD
@salvador3031 Thanks ^^ This was my first seaplane. As of now, it's no longer my only one. I just need to get the new one to takeoff on water as well as this one.
@salvador3031 Well yeah, but I wanted to focus on the shape of the turret itself. I need ot find a way to shorten it down to the body without them linking together.
@salvador3031 Thanks ^^; I'm thinking of giving this sort of project another shot. I liked the hull, but the turret leave much to be desired-- but it's not that bad. I just need to find a way to get the to meld better.
My Corporeal craft were originally spy aircraft, so yeah this'd be perfect!!
@MINEMICS You're really gonna be like that? :\
@Viper28 In this case, it'd be a bit hard to fit with the missiles there. The center of mass is probably some point behind the wings so it wouldn't stand upright anyway.
I love cats!! :D
Are you serious Jelly? Like..... He can't be serious....
I love this!! PLEASE Add these!!! The trim would help me sooo much and the countermeasures would make dogfights so much more interesting!!
@TheLatentImage Forgive my saying so but you look like Jeff Bridges.

Now THIS is what my craft are for :D
@Thefalloutplayr Fantastic! Can I get a link please ^^?
@Supercraft888 Dogfights! YES please!! I do enjoy races, but it's dogfight my craft are built for.
@ShatterFox Amazing XD An entire line of aircraft based on a plane that was built to suicide. You can't write that stuff!
@helix44 Lawl exactly! The Corporeal is there, but it's not there, if you get me- and the Ethereal cannot be touched.
@Hadesrocks It seems it's time to move on to the Ethereal program. What do YOU think?
@Wahoo12 Thanks ^^ Figured the A-7 would be a decent dive-bomber, and Peregrine falcons are dive-bombers in themselves, so you can make the connection =3
@dsr1aviation I know! But I figured I'd shift my research to the new program, basically an almost totally different beast.
@Hadesrocks Thank you! Ad neat you're black now! GG!
If you're on PC, there should be a "Share" button in the ESC menu at the top. If you're on mobile, I have no idea, and I'm sorry.

@SPS13 That's the plan ^^ X-7 - Corporeal to start. The next program would be the X-8 - Ethereal.

@helix44 Developing recovery aircraft should we lose anyone or anything valuable.

@SwagAircrafts You totally should!! JUST. DO IT.... So yeah =3

@Xogo Fantastic! Back to splicing, of course~
@SkyborneFox Fantastic! I'll see what we can merge and tweak when I can.
Thank you so much for this :D I'll be sure to test and tweak when I can.
@SkyborneFox Fantastic, thank you!
Hahaaa! Yeah! GG, friend! Congratulation! You're are win!

@SwagAircrafts I will!
@Xogo I';d love to see it!! You may post it. Perhaps we could merge the two into a design I've been thinking of called the X-12 Ethereal series.
@SPS13 It's hard to land, I know 3=
@salvador3031 Thanks ^^ This was my first seaplane. As of now, it's no longer my only one. I just need to get the new one to takeoff on water as well as this one.

@salvador3031 Thanks! Wow-- that took like.... Two seconds XD
@Waemoth You see 'em on the highway every now and again. A yellow foam ball with a face on it that people usually put on their radio antenna.
That would be really cool! I like that!
@Waemoth Huh. neat. How about one with one of those foam smiley-faces on the antenna?
I'm an Air-Force brat, so naturally this speaks to me (literally) XD Good job <3
I need to study up on my armor again, but how about the infantry support version? With the side-skirts and 75mm short gun =3
@helix44 Thisis getting complicated XD Alright then, build as many factories as possible.
