@EternalDarkness Yeah I know, I have dabbled in the dark arts of XML editing on previous aircraft but on this one, I wanted to have higher drag since WW1 aircraft were a jumble of struts and wiring. Take the Gotha WD 14, for example: https://preview.redd.it/gotha-wd-14-possibly-summer-1918-judging-by-the-naked-state-v0-4cn7jfpxb99e1.png?width=1080&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=2d99ae95858a2c93540ed3a8ec706fc7165ccf2b . I did reduce drag on some parts like the wings I think and the cowling just to get that takeoff performance on par with a Morane Type L but I quite enjoy battling with an underpowered brick of an aircraft which almost refuses to climb. It's fun and I can only hope to achieve something similar to this in real life once I obtain a pilot's license.
Thanks for the advice though man! It will all be taken into account in V.2!
@EternalDarkness The terrible flight characteristics are intentional, designed to replicated that of most early WWI planes and the slow-firing MG is designed to feel somewhat like a Lewis gun. I totally agree with you about the wingtips, it was part of the plan but slipped my mind. I'm trying to stick to a believable amount of power and drag coefficient and already I feel that 123 HP is a bit too much for an engine weighing 270 lbs but it wouldn't lift off right unless I had that much power due to the drag from the radial and the struts.
Thanks for the encouragement and the upvote too! I'll make a V.2 at some point maybe.
I can't see the images?
+4@Mitterbin cool thanks

+1@Mitterbin XD
+1When do we get results?
+1@Technicalstrat yeah we both cooked
+1@Mitterbin Indeed
+1@SirDino4t7 just like his father
+1@PeralaandskaVIAM1985 yesssssss

Looks awesome
+1@Mitterbin Thanks bro! And yes I'd love to be tagged in your next post
+1@Mitterbin oh I'm sorry. I'd run on low or medium physics then if I were you
+1Is this still open?
+1You should make it a custom wing since that is the defining feature of this aircraft. Add the flaps, slats and those sexy hoerner wingtips.
+1Comically laggy! Looks beautiful though!

+1Where is @TheMouse ?
+1📌
+1Can't believe this got more upvotes than maxwell the cat lol
+1554kg? bro needs to lose some weight lol
+1@LJh1 :(
+1Sorry to bother you again @LJh1 but I think I fixed it, can you see the images now?
+1This is amazing! Well done!
+1@LJh1 btw can you also not see the images in the gallery?
+1Hello @LJh1 ! Thanks for the advice and thanks for the upvote!
+1This is totally amazing and my computer can't run it!
+1This is really cool
+1@DeeganWithABazooka awesome
This still open?
There are an awful lot of heavy bombers that have been entered into this "AIR TO GROUND ATTACKER CHALLENGE"...
I made something but it is 309 parts. Is it okay to enter it?
@SSTOJointAccount indeed
perfect
sounds cool
Count me in!
@SleepyKitty Thanks for the spotlight!
This post would have you believe they are @SleepyKitty ...
I suppose then that this must be true!
AMAZING! THE WINGS ARE EXACTLY WHAT WE'VE BEEN NEEDING HERE FOR SO LONG!
Insane livery. Well done!
Cockpit cam always
Time to use my swordfish!
@Mal0ne XD
Can it shoot it's own prop off?
Looks really cool

Awesome plane keep it up
