@SigmaTwelve I've only ever used mobile. Without the ability to use XML edits, I've had to learn to make the design fit the limits of the game. Normally they turn out pretty bad lol.
Aside from the slight nose drop, it is a very nicely build recreation of a milestone aircraft. Rutan planes are a fun challenge to recreate in Simple Planes, though I've only posted the Boomerang so far. Well done.
@Smokehouse03 most mobile users have a hard time using pitch for throttle control because both drive and steering are then handled by the same thumb. Many of us prefer to control the speed with the throttle input instead. It's easy enough to make the input changes yourself and save it to your device.
@joeysellers will there be any way to sort or separate the notifications page to not lose comment notifications in the sea of spotlights? I, for one, follow a lot of sometimes-plane-posters who are active in the community and my page is full of nothing but spotlights without a way to look at the notifications that are now pushed off of the page. I'm sure I can't be the only one in this situation.
It's my username for most everything. I used to work at Disneyland at the Jungle Cruise (a boat ride where us "Skippers" would tell bad jokes while giving tours of the jungle) and I sound quite like Bing Crosby over the PA system, so the nickname was born.
It's only a couple pieces difference between the '81 firebird and the '77 (which was used in the show) Mostly just the grill details. @humangrenade @Liquidfox
Something to keep in mind when using the shocks, is that they do no flex at all. Meaning that the object on either end cannot move in any way other than flat towards the other. Placing a hinge or rotator on either end of the shock will allow for much more movement. Look at the different suspensions on a few of my cars to see what I mean.

+1@Hayhayjam664 I’ve got a rebuild of an old craft I am nearly done with, and another new project on the sidelines.
@SangerAircraft perks of being an old fogey returning after a hiatus? And thanks!
Literally watched this gem last night. Well done!
Nice to see another good build of this car on here. Was starting to think I was the only one who would.
@Joshisepic already made one.

@Carlos08122000 how is this click bait?
@Smasher as long as you credit me for the parts you use, feel free!
@Smasher you can always take the bodywork off of this one.
@Smasher this was made before the wheel and suspension update, so it isn't great anymore. There are plenty of newer suspension builds out there.
@AdamA I hadn't tried this guy out since posting it. I'm going to have to revamp with the newer parts. Hopefully it stays just as stable.

This is awesome! Nice work.
Yes the bodywork is from my Chevelle. Please credit me in your descriptions.
@Seeras the never ending problem. Well I'm looking forward to your next one. +1 Follower
Awesome work! Any plans for other Stargate builds?
@Peridot I'm rather fond of his renditions of Mele Kalikimaka and White Christmas.
I'd recommend stiffening the rear suspension for any driving on pavement, but otherwise, nice work!

It's on my to-do list. @MorningTea
Damn, well thanks for informing me. @HPGBPlanes
Here's a quick one.
The beastly half track from Rescuers Down Under.
@WNP78 and to think, this was one of the more complex builds at the time...
A bit beyond my abilities to do it justice, sorry. @DatsunEngineeringCompany
@Flyingtacos I know. By the time I had realized it, I had done most of the work already. So there are minor discrepancies with the symmetry.
Here is one that someone already posted. Even gives you size options.
You'll have to ask someone who has better skill and XML editing abilities for that. @humangrenade

It took lots of fanangling to get it where it is now. @Liquidfox
@Supermini555 Makes me laugh every time.

This is actually a YJ. The TJ was the next generation. But looking good nonetheless.
@Ilovesthecheeses2 I've seen a couple lately, but I couldn't say who made them.
@Liquidfox Nope. I'm still plugging away over here.
@Chevygmoney true, though the body shapes between the two are remarkably similar. So it seemed fitting.
@Michaelsalinas02 I just happened to be working on it when I saw your post. I've got another one in the works already.
Splittin' Image.
Coincidentally, I've spent ~5 hours today making one. I'll link it here when I post it.
As stated in the site rules, please refrain from naming your build for YouTube. Instead use the Tags, as that is what they are intended for.
Also, please don't claim this as your own build, since it is just a stripped down version of my Chevelle.
@ptFrosty Check out MotorKade's Cobra here. Way better than I could have done.
Beautiful!
@TheBroadside please keep the fanboy shaming to a minimum.
@RyneKuczy sorry, a bit too curved for my abilities on mobile.
@O5c444r I got them from here.
Please give me credit for the original build and don't bypass the successor system.
Awesome
