This is a really good build. Certainly better than anything I was making when silver. Refreshing to see a bomber build that handles like, well, a bomber good job!
Nice simple model of the tie bomber, shame roll doesn’t work but I’m sure you’ll crack that in time. What were the proton Torpedoes? (I didn’t get round to finding an air or ground target to try them on)
I think buses have to be boring to drive by design no? I can’t comment on the handling as it’s too many parts to download. Good to see a mod doing the rounds! @EternalDarkness
A lovely mobile-friendly ship. I found it keels over to the point of a capsize in a sharp turn. I’ve been working on a ship myself - I found if I put 2x gyros with no modding (but max inputs on the stability%) straddling the COM she stays flat when turning. Admittedly I’d like a bit of keeling over in a turn as it’s realistic, but in sp that just turns into a full on capsize. Nice build bud, I’m on low settings if you’ve found my predicament an isolated case!
This is a leviathan! Very impressive looking too I must say! As an avid builder of warships I may need a little advice from an expert. Is there a way to get battery firing guns with the new cannon part i.e. both barrels of a turret firing simultaneously? Also when using the rotators with pitch and roll for turret movement, is there a way to stop them from ‘auto’ returning to central?
I’m trying to put together a protected cruiser for a bit of a change in theme and I mentioned a BAC 1-11. I’ve also got a BAC EAP I need to polish up that’s been sat around since before the 1.9 update..... how about yourself? @TheFantasticTyphoon
If you know where radar coverage is and you switch your transponder off what’s tracking you? The ocean is a huge search area. Even floating debris drifts in various currents. @LeHieu000111
Jezza! When he does a documentary I’m fully onboard. The PQ17 convoy documentary is another brilliant relatively-unheard-of story. Don’t know your age group but back shortly after the millennium there was the ‘Greatest Briton’ series on telly and jezza did Brunel. “Lady Diana (a candidate for the same
series) I’m sure she’s a lovely person. But she’s not even in the same league!” I have no beef against Diana. She raised awareness and support for many charities and should be remembered for her work during her lifetime (before I get hate mail)
I made one ages ago with a detachable mk1 Land Rover. It’s a rather underrepresented type and I wish I had the time to make one next but I’ve kinda mentioned I’d be doing a 1-11 next. I’ve been to Fort Paul outside Hull where the only surviving Beverley is. It’s a well thought out design and fullfills so many roles. They were actually made not far from where the only surviving type rests which is quite fitting. The Bev’ is a big bird too. I recommend a visit depending on where you’re based of course! @TheFantasticTyphoon
Fantastic job! This is The sort of ship that should have taken on the Bismarck and not a Battlecruiser. Battleships against Battlecruisers god the RN just didn’t learn did it! Think I remember reading somewhere they tried to avoid firing past a certain angle as some windows up front, no matter how armoured they made them, kept getting shattered by the shock.
They were too costly to operate and they weren’t designed for long distance lifts so they kept suffering from transmission failures leading to the tandem rotors colliding (with terrible consequences). I’ve had a couple of family members ferried out to platforms in the 80s in the type. Nowadays it’s Bristow and CHC which I believe do the Gulf of Mexico’s platforms although I may be corrected on that. @QingyuZhou
BA operated them for North Sea oil platforms. Very good attempt at the awkward lower case letting of ‘British airways’. Doing a similar aged BA aircraft and I’ve just written it off as too fiddly, so I doff my cap to you!
I remember these from ‘A bridge too far’ where they incorrectly stood in for p-51s and the like.
+1I have to agree with @Trainzo great choice, don’t think I’ve ever seen one of these. Flight could be better but I won’t let that distract me!
+1Looks awesome can’t wait to try this out!
+1Lots of positives here. I’d be inclined to tone the handling down to a more realistic level but this is rather impressive for someone who is silver!
+1Just be glad you get to use all the locations unlike on iOS.....
+1This is a really good build. Certainly better than anything I was making when silver. Refreshing to see a bomber build that handles like, well, a bomber good job!

+1No problem. I see iOS and the scale of your ambition and it’s good to see! @FCparis
+1No worries! Someone else did they same thing on a video I saw. I will make it AG1 or something more obvious next time! @AtlasSP
+1Ah....! another video of my T-16 and the instructions have not been read! AG 8 to disable the gyro!! ;)
+1Beautiful build, like the handling too. What did you put in those rockets?! Absolutely destroyed the beast fleet!
+1Days of my childhood were spent on that game! Battle for Naboo was ok but didn’t compare! @RAAF
+1Cheers mate! Glad you enjoyed it! @Mustang51
+1Thank you both! @Strikefighter04 and @Evenstsrike333
+1Roger! @Pianoman
+1Glad to hear, hopefully it offers you a better work/life balance. I’m assuming you a chemist/clever-clogs/wizard of sorts by profession? @GhostHTX
+1By Jove good to see you again old chap! I hope works had its pound of flesh out and allowing you more down time? @GhostHTX
+1Anyone remember the Lego technical model from the early ‘00s?
+1Such fond memories....
Thank you, @TheFantasticTyphoon I like big floaters too.....(without sounding too weird)

+1Nice build and a charming flier!
+1sees Star Wars instantly upvotes
+1Jolly good, my thanks you to you all! @FranzPeterSiegfried @TheFantasticTyphoon @Evenstsrike333
+1Thanks guys! @M3e46 @LeonardoEngineering
+1Why oh why did you use the orthographic for screenshots? I know on iOS it’s all we have - it just looks like someone stood on it!
+1Same with the Manhattan project. @DOX
+1With screenshots and designer suite?! Yeah would be nice to play on a level playing field so to speak. Nice build!
+1Cool movie. Cool craft!
+1Broke free on its way to the scrapyard and rammed the still and west pub in Portsmouth. Nice build!
+1x4 20mm cannons per wing.....that’s a heavy wing! Good stuff though glad to see your work again!
+1Thanks for the advice! I’ll be sure to try that out. @Feanor

+1Very neat build, don’t worry about long descriptions - I like a good read! Second generation jets generally had short lifespans.
+1What I would give for designer suite..... nice spit!

+1I totally agree @Rhombus it’s also refreshing seeing a tri jet that’s not a Lockheed or a DC in my humble opinion.
+1@ACEPILOT109 Thank you very much! And for the spotlight too! Sorry for the delay!
+1@MrPorg137 yup! Offset to accommodate all the advanced avionics of the time.
+1Thanks @MrPorg137 glad you like it! This was a solid month to make..... don't really know how many hours are whittled in to this!
+1@grizzlitn thank you! looking at your profile pic and previous builds, space/rockets are an interest to yourself?
+1Ha ha love it! Two R2 units, why not eh!

+1Beautiful build and I just love the retro BA livery!
