@Rambo1050 it was built on my iPad, and I too get the warning when I download this plane. But it works just fine (you may need to turn down the terrain and water settings though).
@WeeBabySeamus, I've been sitting on a half completed f-15 for a while now. Never finished it because there are quite a bit on here already but I'll add it to the list!
@DEMI thanks for the kind words. It's really tough to explain in writing the method I use to to build my recent planes. Looking at your F-15 though, it seems like you understand how to clip pieces into each other. And essentially, that's all I do to get the shapes and designs I need. It just takes a lot of trial and error, and playing with different types of pieces to get what you want.
@Zing2000 thanks for the appreciation, man. I have several 'original' designs that I don't upload simply because I use them as testing platforms for innovations to implement in replicas. I find building replicas to be way more challenging and fun because I am restricted to how the plane actually looks and I have to match those looks with virtual Legos. Anyway, I'll probably make some original designs worthy of uploading in the near future, so keep an eye out!
@JMicah4 go into your game quality settings and turn down the water, terrain, and shadow to their lowest setting. If that doesn't work, try turning the graphics quality to the lowest too. But keep the physics setting high.
@TheFlyingHippie, yeah it happens. Some people just reupload other's planes without making any adjustments. It a dirty way to get to that 25 point limit so that they can vote on planes. Anyway, it's probably someone's alt account, and I got a pretty good idea whose it might be.
This is the epitome of unconventional designs in this game, hands down. The attention to detail is incredible. All three pedals, gear shift and 4wd shifter, light bar, snorkel, the engine block, leaf springs, differentials... My lord, I am truly impressed. P.S. Could you tell I drive a jeep? Weebaby, you are my favorite builder.
@Mkenz, I'm not one to turn down requests, but I have to admit I doubt I'll attempt a spitfire anytime soon. I say this because there are some truly great replicas that just recently came out, and I highly doubt I could match/exceed their quality. In the mean time, check these ones out; https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/HFtRJv/Spitfire-DB-605-Competition

@CHEVYENNE I'm confused about you mean, and I think you are the only one who thinks that. I can assure you I made this plane. If I copied it, then there would be a predecessor... There being a successor means someone else reuploaded my craft.
@eric314 I don't really like to build planes that others have just recently done. But it's a very unique plane so I'll give it a shot. It will be a little while though
@eric314, I'll add it to the list. @RocketLL, keep in mind this is the twin-seat N/AW variant. I gotta say I think the looks are spot on (as far as playing with blocks goes).
@AlyssaAircraftCarrier you're pulling up a bit too soon. Get up to 200 mph and pull back slightly on the stick. Instructions are in the description as always.
@authros, I should mention that the VTOL slider should only be slid down or to the middle for gear control. But you're right, it's hard to come to a stop. I think the problem is that the wheels are on wing pieces and when you hit the brakes it causes the plane to wobble/pull to one side. It's only an issue with the nose gear though because it's on an angle. It'd be nice if we could disable the braking action of wheels or assign it to an activation group.
@Allstarship I'll leave the F-22 to you, for now... Lol. But I'll tell you this, it's another crowd-favorite airplane. I'll probably upload when I'm near 5k as a celebration.
@DragonCreations its really hard to try to guess what's going on with little info. The wings break off for me only if I spawn on the runway. You did set the start location so that you spawn in the air? When the wings break, pause and hit the restart button. Does that fix it?
@DragonCreations Are you starting on the ground? (You gotta start at on of the final approach locations so that you're already in the air) Are your physics settings at the highest as well as your graphics? (Is a small plane, you should be able to run it at max settings for everything) What device are you playing on?
Looks good. Only thing I'd change are the main wings. They're a bit long and skinny. You see how they're wide near the fuselage and then narrow a bit as the extend out on the real plane?
I figured it out for ya, but I don't think you're gonna like the answer. The issue is not a drag difference between the two engines. They only look a different shade of pink in the drag map because of the lighting/shadow effects used in the 'hanger'. The jerkiness and steady lean to one side is a result of the wing pieces used on the bottom of the plane, and the leading edges of the main wings. If you remove the bottom wing pieces and the light gray leading-edge pieces, the plane flies evenly (although nose tippy). It sucks because these pieces really give it that F-22 look... Try playing around a bit more with them and maybe they'll decide to cooperate.
@notapier, I build on an iPad too so when I build the larger plane, I'll build it so that it at least run smoothly on a tablet. What generation iPad are you using?
@xopher206, cool! Yeah I had two medium engines in the rear too but scrapped them. I lost the additional speed but got better turning performance by bringing the CoM closer to the CoL.
Hey I dont think you fully clipped the vertical stabilizer to the body. It falls off right away. I was just about to upload a corsair too, but you beat me to it lol
Next one on the list right after I finish this p-61 up, @Notapier
Thanks for the support, fellas! @WeeBabySeamus @Geebers
How about both, @eric314?
@JoffahSanno, sure I'll take a crack at them. In the meantime, check out my corsair, it's pretty similar to a wildcat.
Here she is @planelover400
It'll be posted within the hour, just fine tuning it and painting it now. @planelover400
Dang, ya beat me to the punch. This is a great F-22!
@Rambo1050 it was built on my iPad, and I too get the warning when I download this plane. But it works just fine (you may need to turn down the terrain and water settings though).

@geebers, I got a running list of people's requests and your P-61 is near the top. I plan on pumping out a lot of planes this week.
You are an artist with those wing pieces. That mounted .50 is fierce looking.
Glad to see you're back and active again! This one is great. I love how the tiny flaps actually turn the plane effectively.
@planelover400 either today or tomorrow, bud.

@JMicah4 oh man, that's a bummer. What kind of device are you using?
Thanks for requesting this beauty, @ahiredgun

@CHEVYENNE, it takes a lot of trial and error, and a lot of time. Just keep building and you'll learn new tricks.
Looks just like one. Very awesome.
@Mkenz I'm always open for suggestions. I just got a long list now so it might be a while till I get to your request.
@CHEVYENNE I'm confused about you mean, and I think you are the only one who thinks that. I can assure you I made this plane. If I copied it, then there would be a predecessor... There being a successor means someone else reuploaded my craft.

@eric314, looks like WWIIPlaneBuilder just made one. Check it out; https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/378KRN/MXY-7-OHKA
@eric314, I'll add it to the list. @RocketLL, keep in mind this is the twin-seat N/AW variant. I gotta say I think the looks are spot on (as far as playing with blocks goes).
@teus don't activate group 6.
This is fantastic!
@AlyssaAircraftCarrier you're pulling up a bit too soon. Get up to 200 mph and pull back slightly on the stick. Instructions are in the description as always.
@mcllulen, flight instructions are in the description. It's a great flying plane.
@authros, I should mention that the VTOL slider should only be slid down or to the middle for gear control. But you're right, it's hard to come to a stop.

@eric314 I ran into a few snags with its performance. It'll be out either tomorrow or Sunday.
90s film icon. Very nice!
@Allstarship I'll leave the F-22 to you, for now... Lol. But I'll tell you this, it's another crowd-favorite airplane. I'll probably upload when I'm near 5k as a celebration.

(Is a small plane, you should be able to run it at max settings for everything) What device are you playing on?
@eric314, lol yes it does. This recent trend (really it was just two airplanes) of not having gears will not continue.
@notapier I don't want to get your hopes up. It's not the Fw200. @eric314 It's what I consider to be my best looking replica yet.
Looks good. Only thing I'd change are the main wings. They're a bit long and skinny. You see how they're wide near the fuselage and then narrow a bit as the extend out on the real plane?
@ahiredgun. It looks very cool. I'll give it a shot when I find the time.
I figured it out for ya, but I don't think you're gonna like the answer. The issue is not a drag difference between the two engines.

Same exact one I'm using @Notapier. So if anything, you might just have to turn down the water and land graphics.
@notapier, I build on an iPad too so when I build the larger plane, I'll build it so that it at least run smoothly on a tablet. What generation iPad are you using?
@xopher206, cool! Yeah I had two medium engines in the rear too but scrapped them. I lost the additional speed but got better turning performance by bringing the CoM closer to the CoL.
@blaze3883, I'm always open for requests
Hey I dont think you fully clipped the vertical stabilizer to the body. It falls off right away. I was just about to upload a corsair too, but you beat me to it lol
@planelover400, sorry it took so long, this was a very difficult build.
