@Hedero really..? Personally I think it's utter nonsense :D :D perhaps I should post a toilet pot with an atomic-bomb-turd or somesuch. I'm sure everyone will love it...
Kudos... absolutely one of the better looking A10's on SP! I should have made one myself for this challenge, perhaps, but I figured there would be a warthog-flood, so I entered someting a bit more "low-key". Still, your A10 makes my fingers itch; I will certainly cook one up in future. Well done!
Your build looks like absolute sh*e, a real disaster. It's by far the most hideous SP build I've ever seen.
In other words: you managed to build the best replica of the "Brawny" I've seen on this site so far. You're an artist -though the plane's original designer clearly wasn't ;)
@asteroidbook345 Oh, I'll make a JATO-version at some point. But it will probably be the one with the rack-mounted boosters, or the "dog collar"; the internal boosters were abandoned fairly quickly. I just didn't want to increase the part count any more at this point... hence the lack of a JATO set, and the mod-based cockpit instruments. BTW... did some B-47 models really have air brakes? Other than the "approach chute", that is..?
@TheMitsuboshiBoi That, I believe, is mainly a matter of opinion. The plane was never built, and the internet is rife with "artist's impressions". Some with glass nose, some looking like an airliner in camo paint, others with a B17-like cockpit sticking out like a sore thumb. But: for a bomber, the glass nose makes the most sense.
@BogdanX Hmm... I tried it, and it works just as well of course, but I don't really notice much difference. Same phenomenon; upon impact, the game seems to freeze for 2 or 3 seconds. Same with the standard bombs. Strange...
@BogdanX I noticed that the game freezes for a few seconds after sth with a camera impacts (the Ohka, two of the bombs...) and that the camera stays around even after the rest was destroyed. No idea how to fix that -if it's even "fixable" at all. Did I forget something, or is this just an SP quirk?
@BogdanX I'll keep the tip about calculateDrag in mind, thanks. Never gave it much thought... I just play around with the drag scale. My laptop doesn't seem to mind either way, so I had no idea this actually has an influence.
Well, it didn't shed all its LG of course. They got the idea from the Me 264; double wheels on each side to carry the takeoff weight, of which one wheel is dropped after takeoff... the idea being that the plane needs less/lighter LG when empty. Not sure if that's true though; the main LG structure remains the same, but you use two somewhat smaller & lighter wheels instead of a single heavy one. This being said, the LG probably takes more of a beating on an empty touchdown than on a loaded takeoff. It was an interesting idea perhaps, but I doubt it would have been implemented in a production model. One of my "Amerika Bomber" versions has this feature too, but in this case there was no AG left and I had to make a choice @Hedero @BogdanX
@ChisP at Tinian they had runways 8000 ft long... and that was described as "barely adequate" for a loaded B-29. You could tweak the engines a bit of course -but that would be cheating ;) :p
@Diloph I just didn't much like the original "night fighter" version myself. It handled strangely sometimes, and when pushed reached some 400 km/h -not great for a plane that should be able to hit 700 without too much effort. So -got rid of the (admittedly ugly) radar, the coffin-colour, tweaked controls and engines a bit, added some hardware (the original only had its .50's) and some other small detail stuff. Overall, I enjoy this version way more. So why not upload..? Nobody's forced to download it :D
@Potkuri hah... can't. Doesn't have 75 parts :D the "default color" thing just made me think of that painting, so I decided to enliven the grey lineup of entries so far. Just think of it as wall hanging...
@metallicplanes wot..?

Badass... a P-94 :p

@GG66 why not?
@GG66 well, I felt like a seaplane this time :D but be my guest, throw away the floats and slap on some wheels.
Thanks! With such fierce competition, i'm more than happy with 4th...
@GlargiBoo how so, fast? Doesn't take all that long to put together a plane that has simple, straight wings and a straightforward fuselage shape.
@switdog08 I guess you could use a B47 for fire fighting. They put out oil well fires by dropping bombs into them, right? ;)
Macbeth (II, i, 33)
Nice build!!

@123456sty get a better phone ;D
@ACEPILOT109 yeah, well... it's just an existing build to which I added the rockets, so...
@ShootsPlanes then I suggest you poach a few rockets off my build and paste those onto a C130 XD
@MAHADI well thanks... but it's not, really. Just painstakingly copying and nudging a rocket 45 times... XD it does look kinda cool on takeoff though.
@V22Osprey dunno... doesn't it work? Haven't tried it. Probably not a good idea, the build being close to 2k parts. But theoretically it should work.

@MajorSix yeah, go figure... a '39 engine in a '42 plane. Pure magic.
Very nice graphics on this thing!
@BogdanX Thanks!
@BubbleLukasie nope, afraid not... it's just there for show. Would be pointless, since it's just the reichenberg minus the cockpit (ergo, a V1)
@Weirdoguymajig well... I have no idea what you want exactly, of course...
@Weirdoguymajig sure mate, go right ahead!
@Raptor787 just DL the plane... when you get the blabla about the mod, press "okay" -then click undo, then redo. Presto, one plane minus the mod.

@asteroidbook345 those would be the built-in JATO rockets...
@asteroidbook345 I see the flaps, I see the built-in JATO, the brake chute compartment's hatch etc etc -no air brakes as far as I can tell
@asteroidbook345 Don't see 'em... :s
@asteroidbook345 Oh, I'll make a JATO-version at some point. But it will probably be the one with the rack-mounted boosters, or the "dog collar"; the internal boosters were abandoned fairly quickly.

@mrfeistyboo @Zuig5 the mod is non-essential, so you can use the plane without it. The cockpit view won't look very nice then, that's all.
looks like the Sulaco with a Tie-fighter stuck to its behind... :P

@TheMitsuboshiBoi so... what's wrong with it, then?
@BogdanX Hmm... I tried it, and it works just as well of course, but I don't really notice much difference. Same phenomenon; upon impact, the game seems to freeze for 2 or 3 seconds. Same with the standard bombs. Strange...
@BogdanX yes... stick on a cam and set it to "chase".

@Diloph nobody's stopping you :D go right ahead... we can always use more B-29's.
@ChisP at Tinian they had runways 8000 ft long... and that was described as "barely adequate" for a loaded B-29. You could tweak the engines a bit of course -but that would be cheating ;) :p
Big Mouth Billy Bass :D :D great!
@TitanIncorporated just connect 3 identical planes
@Zanedavid So then, do a Liechtenstein -lots of primary colors there. Bit more work to copy, though. Sorry :D :D

@asteroidbook345 not sure what you mean... anyway, just take 'em apart!
@BaunD7711 don't think the old '22 had a rotary launcher, AFAIK... thanks for offering though.
These are great!
