@Winstonlharambe it just looks so out of proportion, massive wing but tiny tail and fin (which itself is not pretty in design), please don't take this the wrong way, it's the plane itself I don't like not your build.
Upvotes are pretty random, some things get loads of votes even with massive construction flaws, others are awesome and get very few votes, it's just the way it is.
@BMilan Im not 100% sure to be honest. From my understanding there is a group of people that take umbridge with anyone creating any content which represents Israel in any form and then proceed to spam and post hate to promote their own political views / agenda. I've had this since i made a jet with an Israeli colour scheme (i thought it looked nice to model). To be honest it seems a strange way to encourage people to support their views, if anything it is likely to push people the other way... It has actually had a positive from my perspective though, I've seen loads of other peoples builds that i wouldnt have seen, ive had incentives to finish some old builds (after some more hate on a teaser post) and ive researched other colour schemes that i was completely unaware of =) Oh and ive had fun blocking accounts and removing posts, i felt like a mod lol.
@Type2volkswagen I know that feeling, it takes ages to mess around with pictures and wording and by that point I've done the only bit I'm really interested in... :)
@Type2volkswagen cool build, those rivets must have taken an age. The cockpit looks awesome as well. I did have a whoopsy on landing though, high landing speed and powerful brakes lol. Can I have permission to nick your undercarriage code for delayed retract / release please.
@crazyplaness Ok, thanks for replying and re-instating them, this is all getting a bit silly now, I have made camo schemes for planes ever since i started with simpleplanes and never had issues such as this...
@RAF1 was there? I just made the proposal up completely unawares of that fact. I couldn't get my head around getting two engines and thus more power but still equating to less weight.
@LieutenantSOT Enjoy =) I just flew a <100ft sortie to destroy the USS beast convoy, 80% throttle and buzzing around at that altitude just feels so nice lol.
@Type2volkswagen thats about right, at somepoint every part of the pilots head got attached to the seat, it took 30mins just to get the head moving again... thanks for letting me know.
@BaconAircraft Afternoon, Im having some bother getting RAF1's competition to download i.e. it wont. If i post this seperately would you be so kind as to link it as a successor to his competition here?
@wnp78 I tried submitting a bug report but the report itself its bugged... it wont let me submit without a URL for the specific build... So what i was trying to say was hinges now default to full speed of 50% not 100%, when you move the slider it fixes itself but jumps while doing so. Any airbrake or rotator that uses funky trees now displays "funky" instead of the command when clicked on (really annoying when yoiu have multiple airbrakes doing different things and you have to go into overload on each to see whats going on.) In addition the build seems to lag more than normal.
@BagelPlane same, anything that moves really, its getting to the point where I spend as much time fixing things as I fo building, really annoying and off-putting.
@Bo1233 you can just edit the original post you know... if your making a custom eing you can just stack 2 hinges, one for elevator and one for roll (this allows for you to tweak each control to move different angles, you can probably do it with 1 hinge and funky tree formulas but that's not my area of expertise)
@Type2volkswagen Its not actually his engine, i just used his build for inspiration, i made everything myself, I also like pushers but it makes life so much more complex with booms etc. Cant believe this only got 25 votes though... easily my best WW1 build.
@F104Deathtrap thanks 😊 Thats pretty much what I was aiming for, a single engine delta lightning. To be fair it doesn't take much imagination to convert a lightning wing to a delta but it makes it sooo much easier to get the main gear tucked away.
@squirrel a very interesting and informative post. The only thing I thought might be incorrect was your definition of super cruise (I may be wrong here after all I'm no expert), I was under the impression super cruise was the ability to maintain super sonic flight without the use of reheat not as you described it? For instance both the ee lightning and concord could super cruise but both used reheat as standard on takeoff?
@EternalDarkness I dont suppose i can be a pain and ask that you link this as a successor to Falkenwuts challenge (i somehow managed to get the finished one linked but the kit wasnt - even though it the same save file...) challenge link here
Thanks in advance.
its rare that anyone actually builds a successor of one of mine, the last few have been either re-colours or added tons of guns for no apparent reason... i wouldnt mind a few decent successors though, so feel free people =)
@NightmareCorporation dont worry about it, mine seem to struggle for votes at present as well, just build for fun, if people upvote then great. I do admit its strange how a flag can get more votes than a detailed aircraft but hey ho.
@edensk thanks for that but it doesnt seem to work, is 0degrees horizontal and 25deg upwards from the horizon? (sorry if it isnt and its my bad causing the error). I want the slats on an aircraft to operate when its nose is higher than its trajectory.
@Shippy456 no its real, Russia wanted something that could skim the water to be below radar and fast enough / long ranged enough to get to Americas east coast. Google ekranoplan.
Oooh 1 of 21, I'm elite :)
+3Almost as bad as when someone just adds a gazillion guns on your semirealistic build... ;)
+3And you still havnt actually rated the planes submitted or decided your competition which ended ages ago, shame on you.
+3We need loads as they keep crashing... right @F104Deathtrap
+3You should have put it in EternalDarkness' competition.
+3@Winstonlharambe it just looks so out of proportion, massive wing but tiny tail and fin (which itself is not pretty in design), please don't take this the wrong way, it's the plane itself I don't like not your build.

+3Aw if only I could spotlight a forum post... most fun post I've seen a long while.
+3Looks nice but the gloss paint spoils it for me.
+3Aw no teaser pics
+3About 15mins for some noob re-colour with 20 more guns...
+3It's usually a wing hadnt attached when copied over. Or not copied over at all (x-ray mod is useful for finding stuff like that)
+3You have more upvotes for a rant than I get for most of my builds, must be a higher quality rant :)
+3some one give this guy a medal. without overload i couldnt build on this game.

+2I was kindly pointed to this post, here have an upvote, heaven is a half pipe =)

+2Cool, do players in the top 10 users on SimplePlanes 1 get a discount =p
+2Hydraulics. Pressure is applied to one ram before the other equalises.
+2@WinsWings maybe the radial engine drives an electrical generator and this drives the propellor and the antigrav system :)

+2@Kangy nah too many parts and v boring :)
+2@Falkenwut your probably not wrong, i just did what most modern fighters appear to be doing see here for example

+22 separate bombs by 2 separate b29s (enola gay and bockscar from memory). They could also carry conventional munitions, just Google it.
+2@edensk thanks 😊 I will plug that in next time I get on, glad someone knows how these things work.
+2@LittleJerry less than 500 parts is a low part count...
+2@BagelPlane same, anything that moves really, its getting to the point where I spend as much time fixing things as I fo building, really annoying and off-putting.
+2part collisions are on i would imagine. Try disabling collisions on your bombs

+2Woah, I thought it was just yet another warthog but nooo, wow. Good work
+2Like this or at least that's how I do it
+2I agree with bog, plus in the 40s gay meant happy, not the same connotations as current language
+2just incase anyone needs it, the input code is: clamp01(TAS - 5) * AngleOfAttack/10
+2Big thanks goes to edensk who worked this out for me.
@edensk thanks for that but it doesnt seem to work, is 0degrees horizontal and 25deg upwards from the horizon? (sorry if it isnt and its my bad causing the error). I want the slats on an aircraft to operate when its nose is higher than its trajectory.
