I may need to do some research, I am not familar with the falklands conflict. This may be a stupid question but can it be fictional? I see no rule forbidding it so I would like to clarify.
@IceCraft construction is beginning on my entry. I am attempting to combine two of my favorite styles of aircraft. Think about a B-2/P-38 hybrid with a touch of KI-98
Note! Please open the bomb bay doors before you launch the bombs. I don’t really think I need to say that, should be pretty self explantory, but ya’ll know people nowadays.
@LieutenantSOT My dive bomber is currently in testing trials, she flys well but there is one tiny bit of a issue. Realism. During WW2, some flying wings flew decent without the vertical stabilizers, think anything from the Horten brothers, but otjers like the YB-49 flew terrible, even with multiple small fins across the back of the wing. The cause of this is lateral instability. So to be realistic, which would you prefer? (Or do you even care which one lol) Multiple small fins, (which would limit the rear turret’s firing arc in a terrible manner) or no fins? (Which it is set up to work with now)
@LieutenantSOT this is my medium fighter entry to the challenge. I have no idea what happened to the description, it cut half of it out, I am sad now. I had an entire story that went out and the thing cut out the description... :(
I have never seen anything like what yours does. It just does some sort of a weird flip when they are pulled up. I can’t find what’s causing it to backflip on the runway. I’m going to tag you in the rotator I’m using.
@DigmaX3 I can help you with the folding wings if you like, I can either tag you to the part that I would put on their to make them fold or I can rebuild the aircraft with them on their and I can explain how it works there. Your choice.
Whoops I screwed up the naming of the bombs in the XML editor. Oh well. Anything that looks vaguely like the phrase “Mk.1” is supposed to be the bombs lol.
@LieutenantSOT here’s a teaser for ya! It’s my own personal spin off of the Komitis. Simply seeing if would be good at Close Air Support. (It is) And this is also an example of the weapons naming XMl properties that I mentioned. Several weapons are renamed on this thing.
@LieutenantSOT this is the weapon idea I was thinking about for the Komitis. I can easily modify the rockets to something like this after the interior is finished. Although they would shoot slightly slower and not have as many rocket pods glitched together as this example does.
@NotSoNormalPioneer@LieutenantSOT I was cleaning out my aircraft save files and found an absoultely huge contra rotating propeller, engine housing and all. Fully assembled too. I must have built it for a project that stalled. I think it would work well for our next project! I will upload it and tag you to see what you think.
@Astro12 oh. Sorry I forgot. Everbody will recieve an upvote.

This box is well built. I buried it in the woods. Don’t ask what was in it.... lol

@Planesdude thanks! I believe it is a good airplane. And what does pog mean? I’m not exactly up to date on acronyms lol
Truly am sorry! Not having it as a succesor was on oversight on my part. Begging forgivness.

@LieutenantSOT well crap. This is my dive bomber entry. I forgot to make it a succesor. Darn it. Do you want me to repost or is this tag enough?
Ahh yes. A gun propeller. Lol
@50CalChicken well thank you!
@IceCraft I think I will build a flying wing

Merry Christmas everyone!

@LieutenantSOT I am almost finished building my medium fighter. I will enter it for America. When i post is TBD
Ah yes. I see you fixed the nuke jet yawing issue!
Controls are in da description - so read it please!
Heavily based on the XF5F-1 Skyrocket. In fact now that I compare them they almost look identical... whoops.
@LieutenantSOT I think i will also build a medium fighter and dive bomber after I upload my ueavy fighter. Both will be for America!
@LieutenantSOT I have set on a design. She flies decently well. Until somebody shoots out your left engine. But that is to be expected right? Lol
Nice airplane! Intresting placement of the bombs, heres an updoot.
I’m in. Murica’ will have a carrier-capable heavyfighter with light bombing capablities.
I will provide a plane with mine.
@DigmaX3 No I’m sorry. I do not speak any russian. Other than a few curses.
I have never seen anything like what yours does. It just does some sort of a weird flip when they are pulled up. I can’t find what’s causing it to backflip on the runway. I’m going to tag you in the rotator I’m using.
I can try if your okay with that. But it may not look the same. Fair warning.
Actually now that I look at it I would have to completly strip down and rebuild most of the wing.

sounds of reverse enginering the wings
@LieutenantSOT this doesn’t make any sense. It yaws for no apparent reason....
Let me see....
Noice aeroplane

@LieutenantSOT I dunno why the comment didnt tag you too. I found a giant contra rotating propeller that may work for our next build.

I think I am going to just do my world destroyer design as a side project. It turned out like garbage on paper
anybody know how close the komitis is to being finished? I know for a fact that interiors and dedicated cockpits take awhile
@LieutenantSOT lol yeah i just saw that
And if we dont like it will be my new side project lol
@LieutenantSOT I may draw up my idea of this aircraft before we rest on a final design. Just so we can see what we like the best.
@NotSoNormalPioneer so a flying aircraft carrier. Very cool!
@LieutenantSOT I got if figured out. Looks very similar to an X-6 yes
@NotSoNormalPioneer wait a minute. Am i seeing two diffrent flight decks in the nose of your aircraft?
I’m not sure I can do anything super crazy. I think we are all in diffrent time zones. It’s just at noon were I am.
I cant get the link to work @LieutenantSOT
I can actually begin the fueslage in a little bit for the bomber. Nothing else to do lol.
