@JSTQ That is some crazy stuff you’ve been building. I’ve really only seen this on an Abrams tank someone built with NVG’s, but not something this cool.
@JSTQ Almost done with the final version, just gotta add an afterburner at +95% Throttle. I also added a Special Thanks with your name in the cockpits dash.
@JSTQ I just got on and changed a few things, I did make the smaller secondary non-functional, making the big engine the main power source. I did go with the pitch rate for the rear rotors and it did make it more stable on maneuverability. Added at least 2000lbs on the front nose and increased the wing size similar to your setup while also adjusting the flaps. Made the rear elevators more swept back.
SOME HOW MOF THE DROOPING DISAPPEARED, NOW IT PULLS UP SLIGHTLY
Edit - Roll is more of a corkscrew and the aircraft is more stable than ever, once it gets up to speed there’s basically no problems with it. The only thing is that the speed gets significantly dropped with put into a high g pull
@JSTQ Thank you so much for helping me understand things better. Maybe now my aircraft won’t shit itself when I do a test flight. I might even redo V3 completely and make it a more stable aircraft like V2, like it was supposed to be.
I have made dozens of these Phantom Jets as a series, slowly improving it as I progressed, now I think I can make more complexed jets than before
@JSTQ Ahh well that’s something good to know. At least I know now that Wing-2 will keep them from flapping like crazy. I have so many failed aircraft’s because of the flappy wing issues, maybe now I can go back to them and revisit the concept and make it better (Most of aircraft’s were made before modes on mobile). But pitch rate is something I gotta learn more about, like I said I’m not good at coding.
But that particular coding works with most aircraft’s correct?
@JSTQ I look through it again and saw what I missed. I am understanding it better now. And yes I am good at making appearances but my editing and coding stuff isn’t really my thing. I’ve really only gotten into it after they added mods to mobile, then all these new aircraft’s would be published with some simple coding and I took it from there. I don’t really understand coding, that’s why I don’t use it that much. Most of the cockpits digital display is from free use parts, I never did the coding. I mainly stuck to the more simplistic way of building aircraft and not getting all technical.
@JSTQ THERE IS STILL A WHOLE TON OF STUFF I GOTTA LEARN IN THIS GAME AND YOU MANAGED TO TEACH ME MORE THAN WHAT I ALREADY KNEW.
I am curious though why does changing the XML from wing-3 to wing-2 affect on how the wing is flappy??? And V2 has 6 types of control surfaces, the 2 full motion tail wing and the flaps on the main wing, that’s how I got it to maneuver so well. But the whole pitch rate stuff is something entirely new to me.
@JSTQ I AM SPEECHLESS RN. First of all how did you remove so much of the drooping?! And how did you make the main wing not move so much??? (The wing flexing) I’ve been trying to avoid that for so long. And the coding you did with the rear rotors is something I didn’t even know was possible, and it turns so smoothly. LIKE WTF THIS IS MAGIC.
@JSTQ Dood take your time if you need to. But the drooping problem with this aircraft has never been this bad (Except for the A-10 clones I made which needs the trim all the way down), but yeah take your time, it’s like 3am for me and I’ve been working on this since 8pm
@JSTQ If you don’t mind I would like to try it to get some ideas on how to improve my own and how to avoid it on other aircraft’s I make (I DID THIS ON SEVERAL AIRCRAFT). I also forgot that most people who play this game are on PC and have access to more mods than mobile. (I do mainly want to remove the problem of the nose drooping downwards)
@JSTQ I tried increasing the wing area to 575ft (New - 596ft), still drooping severely. I did try moving the wing forward but that only made things worse. I did make the rear wings bigger but the only thing is that I don’t know where to reduce weight, there is dead weight in the very back but only 250-500lbs. (New - Removed rear dead weight)
New - Flaps don’t need to be more than half, 29% keeps it leveled but anything below 25% causes it to droop again until flaps are set back to 29%
@JSTQ I might go with increasing wing area, V2 has at least 622ft and the V3 has less than half of that. I’ll try making the rear wings more bigger since I haven’t really tried adjusting them. Thx for the advice.
@JSTQ If that does work, Thanks for helping me with my aircraft. I’ve kept putting off the problem and decided to just work on the other functional parts. Usually I can make decent wing setups but recently I couldn’t, everything was pulling down.
@JSTQ I can upload a version without the cockpit interior and anything else that was added in that update. Hopefully the cockpit itself wasn’t too heavy so when I can add it back it doesn’t affect it too much.
@Kaveman Thanks
@JSTQ I made it red just for visibility, I did not know it meant that

@JSTQ I’d better get some sleep tho it’s almost 5am. I’ll try and improve it later in the day

@JSTQ You don’t have the update with cockpit interior parts and stuff?
I will eventually get post the Black Bolt V2 just as a comparison of what I’m trying to do
V2 pulls over +20g’s with ease for extreme maneuverability just don’t pitch down hard, you’ll lose control of the aircraft
