It’s such a great feeling, isn’t it? I’m in CAP (somewhere in the Midwest, won’t say where) and went to Johnson Flight Academy, an activity we have over the summer. Absolute blast, and I just got my first solo there too!
@MephilesTheDark I mean, if anyone looked at it for the first time and saw it, I’m sure they’d think the same thing. I just did a deeper dig on it. Still really cool tho!
@Sinacraft Most Ace Combat OSTs are great for the game. And they almost always have that one song that defines the game, or is most loved (like Zero or Daredevil)
@FranzPeterSiegfried <<Soon...>> (I actually have a modified Sukhoi of mine to look like the Nosferatu, kind of based in the Infinity universe as a predecessor to the CFA-44. Might post it, but I have more aircraft to post first.)
@winterro hey there, sorry for the delay. Here’s the link. Should take you to the thingiverse parts, it’ll have a base bracket and the actual loop part. I printed the one with the notch in it
I had a similar problem with my Ender 3. The issue I found was that the filament would fail to enter the extruder properly due to how the filament was coiled up, and it would grind down into the extruder motor, eventually breaking off and not even extruding into it. I ended up printing an assembly from Thingiverse to orient the filament better and fix this exact problem, and it did as advertised. Maybe that could help for you too? I can't say for certainty due to how different our printers are. Long story short, it's likely a filament issue, so make sure it feeds properly when low down.
@Rb2h Yes, the game uses the same missile - or a similar one - as the AGM-86 for its cruise missiles. Unfortunately this one does not have a flight model, it only works like a standard missile.
@ShinyGemsBro GrowlingSidewinder, a well known DCS pilot, actually posted a video proving that it can - in certain situations - work. Not the most effective but just turning the afterburners off on one engine is enough to bring the nose over faster. [Source]
You really oughta put the Startup directions in the plane’s instructions. It also accelerates a little too quickly, but it’s so dang gorgeous I don’t really care lol.
@Erectus01 Ah yeah, I know the problem. It’s mainly due to it being built on computer before fuselage slicing was a thing. Sorry, I don’t know how to fix it.
@Cessnasareawesome172 I’ll allow you to do another since the first was DQ’d for too low part count. You still have 3 months to work on it, so please make sure to read the challenge through again. Remember: it has to be based on a real prototype design, whether fabricated or not. Essentially a fictional take on a real plane.
@Cessnasareawesome172 A word of advice: do some research on some planes. If you can, try working on something related to the American X-Planes, if you wanna make it easier for yourself. There’s a ton of vehicles there, so it’ll be pretty easy to choose one that sticks out to you. Another thing I’d like to point out is you’re not making a prototype, you’re making a production version of a vehicle that never saw the light of day. I. E. The YF-23, XB-51, and other similar aircraft.
I gotta ask, what does this have to do with the A7M Reppū? There’s not much to go off of. That, and the minimum part count is below what is allowed, so I’m sorry that I’ll have to disqualify the aircraft. You may work on it some more, but please make sure to check it the plane went into production before you make a plane. I’ll allow another submission from you, but please try and stick with aircraft that didn’t end up with production variants. Unless it’s an iterative design like the Me 262 HG II/III. I’ll still upvote it since it’s a cool design though.
Sadly the plane doesn’t meet the minimum Part Count of the challenge, so it is disqualified
If you want to work on it some more, though, you have plenty of time to work on it

+1Very nice build.
+1@FranzPeterSiegfried Thanks!
+1@MephilesTheDark I mean, if anyone looked at it for the first time and saw it, I’m sure they’d think the same thing. I just did a deeper dig on it. Still really cool tho!
+1I am a simple drone. I see target, I [INITIATE DESTROY FUNCTION] == ON
+1@FranzPeterSiegfried Glad you enjoy! Arguably one of my favorites too, since it has such a unique look compared to most Sukhoi aircraft.
+1@Sinacraft I am still but a lowly nugget, and have only played 7. My favorites from that game are Daredevil/Hush, and Sol.
+1@Sinacraft Most Ace Combat OSTs are great for the game. And they almost always have that one song that defines the game, or is most loved (like Zero or Daredevil)
+1@Sinacraft * Epic Sapanish guitar sendoff *
+1@Sinacraft <<Yo Buddy... still alive?>>
+1@Sinacraft I wouldn’t dare oppose the “Demon Lord” again! Also, thanks for the upvote!
+1@BaconRoll Maybe, the 2D thrust vectoring is gonna be an issue though, naturally.
+1@Skyworld One should not have given me this power. But I’ll use it anyways. Muahaha!
But seriously, nice build!
+1@FranzPeterSiegfried <<Soon...>> (I actually have a modified Sukhoi of mine to look like the Nosferatu, kind of based in the Infinity universe as a predecessor to the CFA-44. Might post it, but I have more aircraft to post first.)
+1@Kentheman Thanks! Acepedia was a big help with the backstory, but I love making a story out of the facts.
+1@randomusername Thanks for the upvote! Also, good Ace Combat meme on your page. Gotta love the QAAM spam.
+1All I can think of is Arsenal Bird Mini. Seriously cool.
+1Finally, a challenge that might make me actually play the game again!

The forbidden Sukhoi
@GabeT yes, though discord links no longer work
@GabeT …What?
Golly, that livery’s gorgeous
@Rb2h Yes, the game uses the same missile - or a similar one - as the AGM-86 for its cruise missiles. Unfortunately this one does not have a flight model, it only works like a standard missile.
Holy crap people still use this
@MrCOPTY that’s why you go and should take them!
Ok this is pretty goofy
First, comrade
Mid
@Kangy 2fast4me
Hi, I spawned it in to give it a go, but it shot up into the sky. Did you set it for 20 kilometers, not 20K ft?
@Cleanfreak69 it’s already out my guy
Broken link? Image won’t show up.

@FeatherWing drat, thanks anyways!
Ah, just a question. Are original fighter designs allowed? Are fictional fighters from other series (such as the X-29A) allowed?
30 parts… Take more time on it. You now have 3 whole months to get a beautiful plane done, don’t just make something in the first day and submit it.
You really oughta put the Startup directions in the plane’s instructions. It also accelerates a little too quickly, but it’s so dang gorgeous I don’t really care lol.
@TheLittleMan The Hornet is not yours. It is a modification of someone else’s. Read the rules.

Yo, buddy. Finally got those flowers. See you soon, if you do come back. 🌸
@LieutenantSOT Ehhhh… Both aircraft are production aircraft, so I’ll have to say no to that. Sorry
@KdogUSA You can make an F-92A, but a direct replica is not allowed. Make it unique!
@EpicBullDog That’s a secret something that’ll come in use later
It might be 3 months in, but I can see about working on something for this. Maybe. Provided my schooling has enough time.
