@TheGliderGuy Thanks for featuring my plane!
I think gliders are pretty underrated in general, because compared to sleek fighter jets and airliners, gliders tend to look small and boring.
However, the moment you fly a glider, you get a feeling of exhilaration unable to replicate anywhere else.
It can’t go fast, it can’t do extreme manoeuvres, it can’t shoot missiles.
But all the while, there’s that feeling of immense happiness. The feeling of being in complete control of your plane, the feeling of having the entire world spread across in front of your dashboard, the feeling of being at complete peace.
This, is something I felt flying your glider, and then mine, for the first time.
I will admit that before challenging myself to make a glider, I was also like many others, thinking: Oh, gliders are boring, they all look the same. I’d never sit in one for five hours doing nothing.
However, all that completely changed when I flew these gliders for testing. Now, unlike my other creations, my glider is something that I actually want to fly around the French Alps map whenever I can.
Takeaway from this? It is only when people experience gliding on their own, that they can truly understand why so many people have such a burning passion for the sport.
Edit: Will I build another glider? I doubt I will, since I have other plans. Also, I’m really satisfied with my G-07 since I went all out on it, and that glider will accompany me for a very, very long time.
@DanielJoeer it’s a bit sad; in Asia the swastika is a symbol of peace and used in many religions without any issues, but because of the Nazis, tourists now get offended whenever they go to a temple and see a swastika on a statue
@LM0418 China has a population of 1.4 billion, and it’s the world’s most populous country behind only India. So naturally the most players come from China
@32 yep, and I was actually surprised that a box-wing configuration was actually utilised.
Other people saw this glider as a joke, but I instead saw its massive potential.
@DerekSP If you see this, can you fix the ground textures? After the latest update, taxiway, apron and grass textures no longer load and the ground is completely white.
The runway and buildings are unaffected. If you’re able to restore the textures, that’d be great. Thanks!
@Boeing727200F only the early A340s are underpowered.
The -200 and -300 models used the CFM-56, the same engine used on the 737 and A320, hence they were underpowered.
But for the -500 and -600 models, they got much bigger, more powerful engines that were actually suited for a widebody, so they’re about as powerful as a 777.
One thing I’ve learnt from being on this site is that it’s the idea that counts more than the quality. It’s natural for people to like original stuff rather than things that they see every single week, which is a trend that is being reflected everywhere. A rotating house may be impractical compared to a concrete apartment block, but sure looks way more interesting.
@DatMaluchGuy19 I think you should delete your comments on the other post before SilverWolf hunts you down lol.
Anyway, this is what he said:
the reason I’m removing those posts is for a couple of reasons, to start its against the rules to call out users and the other is it’s literally just feeding the guy, this is what he is after, trolls feed off that reaction, that’s what hes here for, by continually complaining about him on forums is just fueling him to do more, and as I stated below I brought this up with others mods but in the mean time please don’t say anything about this guy, it’s literally what he’s after best way to deal with these guys is to ignore them while we figure out what needs to be done
@DatMaluchGuy19 uhh, ok.
Also, I was personally told by MrSilverWolf that the mod team is investigating XEP, so we should just ignore/block XEP until they get to it.
@SILVERPANZER we should just encourage more people to check the "Hottest" page as most of the good builds will end up on the top of the page anyways

I think you should add the "Parts" tag to this so it'll be easier for future players to find
+1When spawning this as an AI, the plane tends to nosedive into the ocean right after taking off. Is there a reason why this happens?
+1what abomination has fallen upon this cursed land
Seriously though, great job. Keep up the good work!
+1Change it back, unless you change your pfp to match the name
+1in life there is roblox
+1Ok the bug’s been fixed, everyone can go home now
+16 hours since the last build was posted
+1@DatMaluchGuy19 I started building again.
+1It feels a bit strange after stopping for so long, but I'm progressing anyways.
Credit the original builders
+1@MobileBuilder21 you should make your ratings out of 100; rating 10/10 for every single aircraft isn’t really helpful
