If playing on mobile and at the lowest settings, the wings may pop off on the initial spawn. It's that integrity bug again and hitting the restart button will fix it.
Thanks Greebers. Yes I am still making planes, and trying to build as many of planes being recommended I can. Don't pay no never mind to the jelly trolls and fake accounts.
Thanks for the kind words, my man. Yeah, when you first spawn it tilts back because it kind of plops down onto the runway (that's just how the game is with any plane on the initial spawn) and the rear gear are only just ever so slightly behind the CoM. But if you pause and restart first thing, the plane will be upright and won't tilt backwards or break!
Ahiredgun, I got a mig 15 in the works right now. Im working out the kinks in the flight characteristics. Putting the horizontals on the vertical stabilizer makes the pitch tricky. I don't know if it's just the in-game physics or a matter of tweaking the wings.
I knew you'd find and like this one, WWIIEnthusiast. It's fun trying to bomb the ships, isn't it? I really want to do more prop planes, but the scale is kind of a deterrent. The propellers in the game are on the small side and you really gotta scale up when building to bring out identifiable details. But then again, the game is called simple planes haha.
Hey Loliver, thanks for the input. I tried to keep the dimensions as close to the real planes as possible. I think what makes look a little off is that it's a little fat. To get the rounded body look, I made the width a little larger. But you're right, the real plne is more slender looking. As for the planes falling apart, it is definitely because of the low graphics quality setting. It's a bug in the game and it happens on my ipad too. Did you try setting everything to low but keeping the graphics quality at medium?
Thanks Fauxreal, and thanks for the missile inspiration your bat gave me! And WWIIenthusiast, I have never heard the HE 162 till now. It looks awesome and I will definitely try to make one.
Hah nice. Giving ImFauxReal some competition for The Bat title! Flies real nice aside from the occasional catastrophic failure. Try making some sections of the wings structural wings instead of primary. It might solve the whole wings falling off problem.
Sorry to hear that, man. Your graphics quality was definitely set to medium and everything else to low? All my planes were built and flown on my tablet without any issues. I really don't know what it could be other than a bug in the game or that the plane is too large for your device.
Yes, set your graphics quality to at least medium. This plane is nice and stupid fast. If you ever make an updated version may I suggest you flip the detacher son the plane so that they fall away with release platform. It'll reduce drag and you might get some more mph.
Thanks dude! That was probably the most troublesome part to get just right. Glad you like it! Try flying over the aircraft carriers and hitting them with the missiles. It's fun!
Try adjusting the settings. Turn the terrain, water, and shadow to low. But keep the graphics quality at medium or higher. There's a bug in the game where planes (I think it might just be in big planes) lose integrity and fall apart easily if the graphics quality is set at low.
Hey everyone, I think I figured out why it breaks apart in midair. If you have your graphics quality at the lowest setting, the integrity of the planes suffers. It is a bug in the game.
Make sure you have your graphics quality set to medium or higher, and lower the other settings (Terran, water, etc) to medium or low if you are playing on a mobile device. Doing so will prevent any lagging. Keep your head in the clouds!
Awesome, this is the best Bat yet! I've been trying to get missiles working on my latest plane for the longest time. Hope you don't mind if I steal yours!!
Haha that's the idea. Make do with what ya got and scale up. It helps bring out the details but makes maintaining functionality a bit more challenging.
Thanks, bud. I try to keep my planes as accurate to the real thing as possible but still maintain function. It is a flight sim game after all. The bombs don't drop as pretty and even as i want them to but you get the idea lol.
Yo josh I think your on to something here. I lowered the graphics on my iPad and sure enough the plane obliterated within a min. But it works perfectly fine when the graphics are at medium or higher... Wierd
Sorry if you're having issues. I don't know what it could be. It works awesomely for me. It was built and flown on my iPad, don't know if that matters or not.
In mid flight? It's never broken on me in the air. During take off don't crank back on the stick, just max the throttle and she'll lift off by herself. If you try pulling up while still on the ground you might bang the tail on the runway.
Hey dude, thanks for the vote on my sabre. This is a dope ass plane. Flys very well for its size and shape. What I'd suggest is that you set the payload to separate detachments. Instead of all at once, set two bombs to detacher 1, two to detacher 2, etc. also try putting little wings on the bombs, I'm doing that on my next plane and it's awesome. They glide real well.
Because the other one got some attention I updated it. Changed the fuselage up to make it more round. Damn thing still can't take off but flys excellently. Must be some bug in the game because the CoM, CoT, and CoL are all dead even. For some reason it pulls to the right when on the ground. Just use it in SAM evasion but be careful with the detachments! Another bug says you've crashed if you use the detachments.
Pretty damn good. Flys well, but not all that responsive to control inputs. Definitely won't be dodging SAMS in this big boy. You did forget to invert one of the rudders though.
Looks way better than the Mig-21 I tried to make! Pitch is a little stiff but that's kinda expected with horizontal stabilizers like that.
I should have patented the thick wings haha. Very nice!
Hunter77, I'll load the F-8 this evening. Still deciding on the paint job.
Thanks for recommending it! I had fun building it.
If playing on mobile and at the lowest settings, the wings may pop off on the initial spawn. It's that integrity bug again and hitting the restart button will fix it.
Wait till your recommended B-29 drops, Geebers. It's one of the most detailed ones I've built.
I have a very nice looking (but fairly big) B-29 in the final stages. I'll post it in the next day or so.
Thanks man! And hunter77, be on the look out for that f-8!
Now that's what I'm talking about! Very cool.
Pretty damn good! You can easily mod this into a Fokker Dr.I, which people most commonly associate with the Red Baron.
Adjust your settings. Set the graphics quality to medium and everything else to low.
Thanks Greebers. Yes I am still making planes, and trying to build as many of planes being recommended I can. Don't pay no never mind to the jelly trolls and fake accounts.
Very cool! Always fun flying your planes. Never mind no jealous jabronis. Seems like there's a lot of them around now.
Haha this is my new favorite plane! I can't believe it actually flies!! Nicely done
This plane is awesome. Very well done!

Here ha go, ahiredgun! All for you, it's not my best but I truly tried. https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/2NaPYZ/Mikoyan-Gurevich-MiG-15

And latenightbird, I tried to build a wright flyer but it just didn't look good at all. Maybe if there's an update with new pieces I'll try again
Hey bigcat, I might try making one a little later on. There's a lot of good f-22s out there now, but it I'll try my hand at one.
Forgot the link... https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/5no3sU/Junkers-Ju-87-Stuka#
For the WWII guys, here's the iconic dive-bomber; the Stuka! Can you score three hits on the enemy aircraft carrier?

Here's the He 162, WWIIEnthusiast! https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/790982/Heinkel-He-162

Ahiredgun, if you can, link me your mig and I'll take a crack at it. It'd be cool to have the matching adversary for the sabre!

Thanks tom! I've actually been on reddit for a few years now. Only lurking though hah. I've checked the sub from time to time too!
Yes, set your graphics quality to at least medium. This plane is nice and stupid fast. If you ever make an updated version may I suggest you flip the detacher son the plane so that they fall away with release platform. It'll reduce drag and you might get some more mph.
I'm sorry you're having issues with it. It works on my iPad just fine. You might need to adjust your settings.
Thanks dude! That was probably the most troublesome part to get just right. Glad you like it! Try flying over the aircraft carriers and hitting them with the missiles. It's fun!
VERSION 2 IS NOW AVAILABLE https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/B4j509/ME-262-v2

Thanks man. They are underneath, inside her belly (the bomb-bay). Pushing the #2 detachment button releases all 15 bombs!
Haha that's the idea. Make do with what ya got and scale up. It helps bring out the details but makes maintaining functionality a bit more challenging.
Thanks, bud. I try to keep my planes as accurate to the real thing as possible but still maintain function. It is a flight sim game after all. The bombs don't drop as pretty and even as i want them to but you get the idea lol.

This is a sick plane. How long did it take you to get it to roll without the right flaps? I still can't figure out how you did it. Great job!
I should mention this is a large plane and will lag on a iPad if you don't adjust the in-game settings.
Sorry if you're having issues. I don't know what it could be. It works awesomely for me. It was built and flown on my iPad, don't know if that matters or not.
