its typical talk before you walk scenario. I did the same thing when i was 18 prior to entering the police academy. I went around telling everybody when i was accepted and what department I would work for. When you grow up and enter the adult world you learn thats not how things go. hes just having fun prior to the cookout, which is why i said dont forget your stress card. the US military used to issue stress cards you could pull if your superiors were being “too hard” on you. @bcook333
I agree with BlueBell but would like to take it a step further...lets try and remember this is a game called simple planes and not a life planning site. Maybe we can talk abt a the actual game?
First of all....sorry i hit the remove upvote button by accident so i upvoted again... anyways.. this is really awesome! i dont know how you keep coming up with all these incredible builds! this flies really nicely which is not easy to make flying wings do on here. great job!
well i use my pc to mod stuff and typically build on my ipad. but i actually didnt know that beacon lights could be given a input. did you have to add it? thanks bud@SimpleEric
ive wondered why that is? i believe ive read that its pretty difficult if not impossible without actual mod to make a stock weapon like 25 have a much stronger and larger impact. It makes for creating strong bombs just for aesthetics
edit- im still pretty new to modding stuff so i may be a bit off on that but i think you get what i was meaning
@Stingray
i finally got around to testing this, i like it a lot! i wish there was a way to seperate the fuel though when you have a drop tank like this one. i wish you could set it to use the fuel in drop tank first.
DID YOU KNOW....that of all the WW1-mid 50s military rifles produced the Japanese Arisaka 7.7 actually had the strongest reciever / action? Most people don't give the Arisaka its due credit.
Im in the same boat Cap. I started SP with my ipad and just feel more comfortable building on the ipad compared to pc. But, I use my pc to mod parts that I then use with my ipad. @CptJacobson
BUT!!!! I hadnt seen that prior so i stand firm lol. plus thats almost 400 parts just for a logo... i think thats more parts than most users devices can handle. :-D ive got a pretty good Dell XPS that runs super fast and smooth but 1000 + count builds dont run very well on it. @Chancey21
im going to be blunt about the homeless....many are homeless because they choose to be. When I was younger we had a program in the church that reached out to the homeless. We gave them food, clothing and tried to find housing for them. Many prefer the “off the grid” lifestyle of not paying taxes and dealing with the man. Also, something you may not know yet due to your age our system of employment in this country HEAVILY favors veterans and minorities. When you are applying for a job the fact a person is a veteran typically scores that person a automatic 5-6 extra points during their application process. Same with minorities in some jobs. So while some are homeless because of bad situations many others are homeless because of choice. @CptJacobson
kids are kids.... thats more of a reflection on poor parenting than anything. Kids do stupid things for stupid reasons i wouldnt use that example as a example of disrespect for all. @CptJacobson
Im not really sure what “ disrespect “ you are referring to. Through my long grizzled life I have seen many things but one thing I have never seen is anyone disrespect our nations military. Basically, our soldiers were heavily favored and respected up until the Veitnam era. It was then that a leftist media campaign was started and returning veterans were treated like the enemy. They had a hard time finding work and were treated poorly. We are well passed that though and have been for decades. Our veterans are some of the most highly respected people in our country. I would advise you to do some research before you write your stories on here because they are factually incorrect.
EDIT people should also thank their local law enf, fire dept and ems as well. they put themselves in harms way every day to keep us safe and alive.
ill tag you on something im building that you may really like. its the first ducted fan vtol aircraft. kinda like a forefather of your orca :-D@Freerider2142
its ok, it may just be the parts youre using, try using the fuselage parts from the build i blue linked. you can take all the little details off and just use the center fuselage and then reshape how you prefer@Sirnubenegra
i tried fixing this last night but ive never experienced the issues these planes have but i came up with a idea. take my recent upload the VX-38 and take it apart and use those parts instead of using the parts you have been.
when you attempt take off does it nose dive into the runway for you? im trying to figure out why its doing that for me. when i start in the air it flies really nicely, very stable and responsive but when i try to take off from runway ... boom!
if you need help modding just ask, im on the site many times throughout the day. but you can change pretty much everything like scale, weight, power, inputs for rotators, for example if you want to set rotators to operate using group numbers you can change the input to “activate1” you can use 1 through 8 obviously so ag4 would be activate4 ...anyways if you need help just ask @Sirnubenegra
download the mod overload. you can scale xml mod parts using overload. Im still learning overload but once you get the hang of it its very helpful. everything i upload has modded parts now. @Sirnubenegra
Ya im not a gamer and that kinda became our families “go to” username abt 15 years ago. Now that I participate on this site I wouldve preferred something a little cooler is suppose. Ive lived in a few states and TX is hands down my favorite. Has a great mix of people and land. @Stingray
Im now building my entry for this challenge, i wanted to finish up my last drone before i focused on this. I really love this challenge, the weapons bay forces you to really think about how you build.
would you be interested in testing out a build ive been working on? im kinda struggling now with adding the details....or being lazy...:-o@greasytortle
Got some kick in those engines! flies nice!
TY @AceMcCloud
Aye Mateys! This case has been solved! ;-D

nice job Dastin!
I dont know how you get so many awesome builds out as often as you do! this one...as always is very nice!
First of all....sorry i hit the remove upvote button by accident so i upvoted again... anyways.. this is really awesome! i dont know how you keep coming up with all these incredible builds! this flies really nicely which is not easy to make flying wings do on here. great job!
+1Dont forget your stress card!
well i use my pc to mod stuff and typically build on my ipad. but i actually didnt know that beacon lights could be given a input. did you have to add it? thanks bud@SimpleEric
+1how did you get the rear beacon to activate with “brake” ? im still learning to use overload so im curious @SimpleEric
+1really awesome! great job
i like this one a lot! the attention to detail is nice. the inlet used around the glass / cockpit area was a very nice touch.
+1Are you still finishing up the 36 or holding onto it for later release?@JohnnyBoythePilot
Sled this one is beautiful! It handles really well even in hyper speeds. I also like the shape of the afterburner post ag-1.
+1looks like a amazing feat of wonder!!!
+1Nice Job! if you like these kind of aircraft check out my VX40 or my VX50
nice job! flies really well and the afterburner is very cool!

This thing has some serious short take off ability!

i upvoted because i flew on Spirit recently and it reminded me I shouldve used delta... :-D Spirit uses old medieval torture devices as seats....

+1really well done, im suprised the part count is lower this looked like it would be a 400 plus count. prob the nicest logo ive seen on here.@Chancey21
Awesome Job! I really like the way you did the cropdusting effect

dont forget you can scale parts down to make them smaller also if its easier to build for the challenge
