@hypnotoad Thanks for the kind words, bud. You are a great contributor and member of the SimplePlanes community. I find it awesome how you field everyone's comments or concerns! PS I have come to terms with the fact I won't ever catch up to you haha. I simply can't compete with your rate of out put! You're a plane making machine!!
Incredible work here, @Authros. I know I can appreciate the time and dedication it takes to build such highly detailed and accurate creations. I am starting to play around with tweaking the angles of just a couple of pieces in my coming builds and it is taking forever. A lot of trial and error. I couldn't imagine doing a whole build like this... That's some serious dedication there; and innovation too. I noticed that counterweight you stashed in the hull to assist with turning. Very clever!!
Good to hear that @JMicah4. I really try to get all my builds to work perfectly on mobile. Unfortunately there are all fairly complex and part intensive so they don't always work at peak performance. Anyway thanks for testing these out and letting me know! You've always been a loyal fan and I appreciate your input!!
Sorry, @Eric314 I forgot to respond to your previous comment. No I currently don't play that game. But I looked it up and I gotta say it looks pretty awesome. Is the gameplay anything like that trailer video?
@Wakescar wow the Russians really made some weird stuff during that little thing called the Cold War... How can I not build that thing?! Thanks for showing me it!
@Hypnotoad I tried my damnedest to make that giant drill and put it into the hull as a little homage to the movie. But I couldn't get it to work... Anyway thanks for checking her out! And I'm gunning to get my top spot back!!! 😝😝😝
@Authros, no worries mate! I managed to repurpose some of your pieces off your F-117 and hovercraft. The angles aren't exactly right to the actual specs but they got the job done!
Thanks for taking the time to try out this vessel!!! @PlanesnThings @Zing2000 @JMicah4 @TheLatentImage @JShay @PlanesofOld @Rambo1050 @Spikerya @Notapier @Babybumber1995 @Dynimerous @Vikdesigns @Kevpilot
@bjac0 I'm glad you devote your time to help these underserved individuals. I, myself, work with them as well so I am very familiar with the wide range of intellectual and physical disabilities they may have. That being said, lying to them, or anyone for that matter, is never right. But you are more than welcome to show them this plane and let them enjoy it. And if you feel inclined to claim it as your own, well that's up to you. Reckon I can't stop you from doing that. Anyway thanks spending your time helping out those with special needs, I salute you for that!
No problem @Vikdesigns! I love learning and building planes I have never heard of before. I swear I've learned more from people's request than I could have ever done by myself. So thank you for your support and inspiration!
This is a fantastic plane! When I tried it though, I reshaped the control surfaces to slightly reduce the rate of roll, but that's just my personal preference. PS, I love the flag 'decal' just on the oneside; it's a great touch.
Oh I didn't even try messing with the gear @maverickvii. I figured it was something with the missiles because once their removed the problem resolved as well. Have you also noticed wobbling and the tendency of your planes pulling to one side when applying the brakes on rotator-mounted gear? Guess it's just another quirk of making custom retractable gear.
Yeah I'm kind of eating my words now, huh @Zing2000 lol. With the way the game is progressing and the awesome planes being built these days, mods are somewhat of a necessity to garner interest. I stand by what I said earlier, but I'm slowly warming up to them. So far I've only mildly used elongated nose cones and deflected wing pieces purely for cosmetic purposes. I will never use modded engines, fuel cells, or the like to enhance performance. Is that a better way of looking at it, lol? Anyway, thanks for checking this beaut out!
Hey @Authros I have a favor to ask of you. I'm in need of a wing piece at an angle that I can't get with the in-game rotation settings, and I can't mod the files myself (I play on iOS and have zero programming/editing knowledge lol). I'm looking for a wing piece rotated at an angle much like the ones you used this F-117. But I need it rotated to 30 degrees (the ones you used here were rotated 45 degrees, right?). It doesn't need to be shaped, just rotated. I'd be forever grateful if you could help me out, but by all means you don't have to do this if editing files is a big hassle. Thank you.
Thanks, @JMicah4. And thanks for ratings! @Geebers, I'm glad you like it! But unless it's Opposite Day, I think you might have misclicked on your rating lol.
And if anyone can diagnose why this plane suffers from slow acceleration on the runway I'd greatly appreciate it. I racked my brain for hours on it and pinned it down to the detachers in the weapons bay. But I don't understand why they're causing this.
@bjac0 @JMicah4 @Eric314 @planesnthings @WeeBabySeamus @Hunter77 thanks for the support, fellas. You're the reason why I keep building. Thanks for giving my builds the time if day!
This is just so cool. You've inspired me to enter the watercraft aspect of the game! And I hate to be a pest, but any word on those nose cone pieces? I got a bird in the hanger just waiting on a shipment from WalrusAircraft Inc.!
Thanks @JMicah4, but I've come to the point where detail is paramount in my builds and I need to make minimal use of modded pieces. So far I've only used elongated nose cones (they have nice curves lol), and I plan to leave it at that. I will never use modded engines or extensively modded pieces.
I was going off the in-game settings for the nose piece, but your method is more descriptive. With the nose cone pointed up, I need it to be at least 10 blocks tall, just 1 block deep, and 3 blocks wide. @WalrusAircraft
You're gonna hate me, but I think there was a misunderstanding. I think we got the length and height dimensions switched. I'm in need of a piece that's 10+ blocks in length and just 1 block in height. More tall and skinny compared to these flat and fat ones. There's are still great and will come in handy at some point though!
Fantastic, thanks @WalrusAircraft! But on second thought, could you make it 10 or 11 blocks long? I just took another look at some pics and I think 9 will be a little too short. Thanks again.
Unfortunately it's the same case with structural wings too @Authros. Guess we gotta wait till someone makes a modded detacher that has increased jettison force.
Hey, @WalrusAircraft I got a favor to ask of you. I'm in need of a 9x1x3 nose cone piece. Much like the ones behind the prop engines in this upload, but 9 blocks in length, 3 blocks wide, and just 1 block for height. Thanks from us iOS users!!
I really hate denying people their requests and I truly try my best at all of them, but I'm afraid I won't be building a B-2 any time soon (or at all) @Billybobjoe. @Cedy117 just built one that is insurmountable. I won't be able to be one better than his. Check it out! https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/sHGraP/Northrop-Grumman-B2-Spirit

Yep @Eric314
Already ahead of you on that one @Eric314

@WalrusAircraft, thank walrus jr. For the inspiration for me! His ships are awesome!
I'll give your suggestions a shot @Geebers and @Hunter77

Oooh that looks like quite a challenging plane to make! It's got a pretty unique look to it. @CorvetteCole
Wonderful!!! Seriously, I knew you could build one! This is great!

Well it was only a matter of time @JMicah4 I simply cant compete with his rate of output. That cat is a plane making machine.
I hope I'm not making you lose a bet, but it's pronounced 'Skree-furs'. It's a long 'e' sound in the middle there. @AndrewGarrison
It's on the list, bud! @Vikdesigns
It was my first uploaded replica. My first plane was a very small prop plane that I've since deleted off my device. @DragonCreations
Thanks everyone. Truly, I appreciate you all for trying my builds!
This is a fantastic plane! When I tried it though, I reshaped the control surfaces to slightly reduce the rate of roll, but that's just my personal preference. PS, I love the flag 'decal' just on the oneside; it's a great touch.
This is great!
Thank you to everyone who took the time to try my creations. I really appreciate all your feedback and inspiration!!!
This is awesome. I like the way you angled those curved blocks to make it look so seamless. Very nicely done!
I love boatplanes, it's so fun just to touch down whenever you feel like it. This is a really great one!
Oh I didn't even try messing with the gear @maverickvii. I figured it was something with the missiles because once their removed the problem resolved as well. Have you also noticed wobbling and the tendency of your planes pulling to one side when applying the brakes on rotator-mounted gear? Guess it's just another quirk of making custom retractable gear.

So much offensive capability it's ridiculous. This plane is seriously awesome!
Can't thank you enough for making those cones for me, @WalrusAircraft!! They really made it much more sleek looking.
Thanks, @Authros. And thanks for developing and sharing that engine housing, it's very nice looking.
I'm afraid that's classified information, @Hunter77, lol. But if it all goes to plan, it's gonna be a great one.
PS @hunter77, Im going to tackle the Swordfish right after I finish my next build.
Thanks, @JMicah4. And thanks for ratings! @Geebers, I'm glad you like it! But unless it's Opposite Day, I think you might have misclicked on your rating lol.
And if anyone can diagnose why this plane suffers from slow acceleration on the runway I'd greatly appreciate it. I racked my brain for hours on it and pinned it down to the detachers in the weapons bay. But I don't understand why they're causing this.

Don't see too many triplanes here. This is very nice, I love the tail.
I'll be getting to it soon. I took a little hiatus from the request list to work on some builds from my personal list. @Hunter77
This is just so cool. You've inspired me to enter the watercraft aspect of the game! And I hate to be a pest, but any word on those nose cone pieces? I got a bird in the hanger just waiting on a shipment from WalrusAircraft Inc.!
Thanks, @WalrusAircraft. It's kind of a key component in the overall looks of my next coming plane!

This is a masterpiece! And I would know because I'm in the replica buisness! Lol. But seriously, this is just utterly beautiful!
