@GriffithLand first of all you could have just said east or west or something to make it simpler secondly thanks thirdly I aleady found it after I posted that.
@JustAFatYeti and if you're wondering how to aim. well just get on target. (preferibly with the bombs having 0% detach force) fly at it. let the bombs go. and make a bit of an account for a bullet drop effect with bombs.
@JustAFatYeti well honeslty if you want to be good at bombing you need to use a joystick. mouse as joy stick works. you just need to use it during the run basically.
try moving those smaller bombs on the side closer to the middle. reason for this is that if you release some of htem but one side has 2 for example and the other has 1. out like that it makes it roll harder than if its closer to the middle.
I just realized while messing around in game... you need to attach the cock pit to the turret on another hinge rotator in order to get a lock on. the lock on circle is bound to the cock pit. so you need to move the actual cock pit to the turret so it can aim XD
@Shmexysmpilot oh yea. they made some tweaks to make XML modding easier for people. that doesn't apply to stock game however so forgive me for not really paying attention to that. I can't XML mod aside making my wings structural.
Well For starters I can say it'll be hard to get noticed but if you ask for help in the forums people will be there. help is there. people noticing you is something you're going to have to work for :P. welcome and if you need any help I got plenty of advice.
@Shmexysmpilot now I know I said about double hte power and they literally have like 67k thrust. but in this update it seems all jet engines are much weaker.
@JustAFatYeti Yea I just decided I wanted to fly inside that thing and see whats in there (actually land) and after a couple failed attempts I finally got inside and discovered the last race :P
@JustAFatYeti Well no just search up the rotator. infinite rotator. you should find one you can save in a sub assembly for future use. aside that its a nice upgrade. altho here's my suggestion. move it to the center of the vehicle. make the rotating body have some volume to make it look cool and then add a barrle like shaft coming out where you attach the main AA weaponry to that shaft. which will then be able to aim upwards.
@Shmexysmpilot yea these engines are about double the power of the old most powerful. and only weight 1k more. however have more drag and are harder to work with (as they can't snap onto the rear of any thing)
@MrPines and if you want to know where the snow island is at. start at yeager air port. and head north west of the island. you should see another string of tiny islands leading you there.
@MrPines Start at wright air port. and head south east generally following the string if islands and after a couple of minutes (assuming you're in a fast jet time varies) you'll reach it. just fly around the place to discover locations that you can start at. and many of the new races.
@Flightsonic I would but it only shows the "discovered" text one time. but its the only pyramid by the windmill farm and there are 4 very viable entrances. where you go through the top one.
Because People just treat this site like reddit or some other sharing forum and in turn, they turn the game from one where you should be building planes for fun. to see self improvement and just a good game into a "I need to reach a follower quota with planes".
Ok It didn't take long to figure out your problem. you're making your planes WAY to small. try building larger planes for a start. and then from there I can give you some other advice.
You should build planes ton have fun. ask people to help you out. don't ditch the game because people online don't know who you are. don't play for popularity. play to have fun. enter the tournaments they post every so often to see your progress on how good you're getting. I'm going to take a look at some of your planes and post another comment to give you some advice in a few minutes.
@JustAFatYeti well you're going to want to do this. have activation groups. one one your engines. and one on the turret controls. I'd say use VTOL to control up and down and a and d for left and right rotation. or w and s for up and down (vtol seems to fit more) you simply disable the engine. turn on the turret and now you're not going to move by trying to control the turret. remember disabling the things doesn't make them turn back they just stop taking commands and stay where they are. I'd also suggest putting the mini guns on the turret as well.
@JustAFatYeti like i said however you're going to need a modded rotator for the bottom. so that you can infinitely turn it. for the up down function however you wont need one.
The one thing I would like to note is that the air lock on missile should be on some sort of turret. there's just no way you're going to get that thing on a target. Try looking for some modded rotators that can infinitely rotate and have some activation groups to active the engines and such so you can WASD the turret when you want too.
@AndrewGarrison Well I'm sure you can figure something out. Hope My feed back has helped. just to clarify. that Over traction only happens when the wheel is moving faster with the power on it. it will cause it to just shoot that wheel and in turn the rest of the craft forward in a flip.
@AndrewGarrison I just did this testing today. and well need a fixed option on the wheels so they don't have an individual suspension if you don't want them too. and the off road wheels (and assumibly street) are too grippy on their preferred surfaces.
@WillB88 there's no "file" for it. you have to go to where yoru planes files are saved. the actuall files that are the planes you've built. and open them in what ever document program you have (like word or a note pad) and you change numbers from in thre. I can't tell you any thing about mac because I don't know mac.
@WillB88 no. XML modding requires you to have full access to all the files on your system. hence why its hard to do it on mobile. you have to just change some numbers around in the saved plane file and boom xml modding. but with mobile that's a lot harder to do because it doesn't come with a file browser like any computer does.
@StraightOuttaSnacks Honestly for the last prop tournament I was thinking of making large extened wings that were specifically there to break the propellors off the other plane :P
@StraightOuttaSnacks I wouldn't have won the whole thing. I'd have gotten close to the finals. but the winning designs were a few seconds faster than mine.
Ok there should be a new rule in the tournament. more so in how its run. if there is an air craft collision the win should not be given to either plane. it should be a draw.
@Dogemaster67 also its 20 METERS not feet. meters are much larger than feet.
@Dogemaster67 no you have to have it in the specifications. however to be that small out of the rules sucks.
are you going to put the "tournaments" tab back?
@Tully2001 well A they removed the tournament tab. B: its been a long time. C: its still early.
I can't really see what you were going for here. it mostly looks like a mess that can barely turn.
@GriffithLand first of all you could have just said east or west or something to make it simpler secondly thanks thirdly I aleady found it after I posted that.
Where on eart his "city cky park" at?
@Tully2001 not really
@Tully2001 no. they're car wheels not landing wheels.
@reCarn the steam beta just ended and is not the normal version on steam XD
When is re sizable landing gear coming out?
@JustAFatYeti and if you're wondering how to aim. well just get on target. (preferibly with the bombs having 0% detach force) fly at it. let the bombs go. and make a bit of an account for a bullet drop effect with bombs.

@Foffles105 the devs are busy with the updates. they said this week wont have one but next week should.
I just realized while messing around in game... you need to attach the cock pit to the turret on another hinge rotator in order to get a lock on. the lock on circle is bound to the cock pit. so you need to move the actual cock pit to the turret so it can aim XD
@Shmexysmpilot oh yea. they made some tweaks to make XML modding easier for people. that doesn't apply to stock game however so forgive me for not really paying attention to that. I can't XML mod aside making my wings structural.
@Shmexysmpilot yea the car engines can. you can control the horse power on the car engines. jet engines don't have any power scale.
Well For starters I can say it'll be hard to get noticed but if you ask for help in the forums people will be there. help is there. people noticing you is something you're going to have to work for :P. welcome and if you need any help I got plenty of advice.
@TheGuyWhoFliesToGetHisPie well I never heard any one talk about it or its discovery so I thought i was the first.
@Shmexysmpilot uh... what power scaling?
@Shmexysmpilot now I know I said about double hte power and they literally have like 67k thrust. but in this update it seems all jet engines are much weaker.
@SUPERSAMROCK except it is new. its in the steam beta and its one of the ones they added in there.
@JustAFatYeti Yea I just decided I wanted to fly inside that thing and see whats in there (actually land) and after a couple failed attempts I finally got inside and discovered the last race :P
@JustAFatYeti Well no just search up the rotator. infinite rotator. you should find one you can save in a sub assembly for future use. aside that its a nice upgrade. altho here's my suggestion. move it to the center of the vehicle. make the rotating body have some volume to make it look cool and then add a barrle like shaft coming out where you attach the main AA weaponry to that shaft. which will then be able to aim upwards.

@MrPines Start at wright air port. and head south east generally following the string if islands and after a couple of minutes (assuming you're in a fast jet time varies) you'll reach it. just fly around the place to discover locations that you can start at. and many of the new races.
@Flightsonic well its not a location but that's the location you have to go to get the race. you have to go inside that pyramid.
@Flightsonic I would but it only shows the "discovered" text one time. but its the only pyramid by the windmill farm and there are 4 very viable entrances. where you go through the top one.
@Shmexysmpilot :3

@WillB88 yea but its not that easy. I'd tell you how but considering the number of systems I'm not going to try.@WillB88
@WillB88 what?
that would be A: Awesome and B: realistic. Because the PBJ exists. aka a B-25 with the front gunner removed and a 75mm cannon in its place.
@StraightOuttaSnacks Honestly for the last prop tournament I was thinking of making large extened wings that were specifically there to break the propellors off the other plane :P
@StraightOuttaSnacks I wouldn't have won the whole thing. I'd have gotten close to the finals. but the winning designs were a few seconds faster than mine.
@Shmexysmpilot oh yea these engines can't be mounted on the back of fuel tanks. they have to be mounted as you see here like the low end turbo fan.
Ok there should be a new rule in the tournament. more so in how its run. if there is an air craft collision the win should not be given to either plane. it should be a draw.
@StraightOuttaSnacks No I missed hte stream unfortunately. I am going to need to wait until its uploaded so I can see a replay.
