@MethaManAircraft Np, btw im working on a new special type piston engine that is 100% stable and generates no torque, so if you wanna make a single engine plane id wait for that engine!
@beastpilot124
I get 1:30 with a shaker. Dunno if thats the fastest but I feel like I might make something different for this tournament to be competitive, since shakers kinda ruin the fun.
@MethaManAircraft I wouldn't know how to make a V-shape engine. They are pretty damn hard but it's possible.
Also I'm temporarily quitting to focus on something else, so I won't be building anymore for now.
@MethaManAircraft Thanks, the springs are what the engine is mounted with, they are partially for shock absorbtion, but primarily for a weird phenomenon causing the pistons to malfunction when connected to a large object(wing/fuselage). This is also why you don't see any shocks on the Proteus series. Because they are fairly small aircraft it doesn't occur there.
@MrDoolittle XML certainly doesn't make building planes that much easier. It only makes adjusting values like the power output of an engine easier because it won't require you to go into the actual XML file and look for the values. This can help with making the performance of your aircraft more realistic but at the same time make your build less realistic, for example tweaking mass scale is not something you could just do in real life. Finetuner will make it easier to build planes, as you can get the positions of parts in world space and precisely adjust their positions how you want, and so make beautiful looking planes. If you want to use these tools simply get simpleplanes on your PC or android, and stop complaining.
@EpicPigster1 Np. I don't think people mind the issue too much, I don't either, and this build is already doing good so I wouldn't reupload it if I were you, you won't get near as much attention because people will think it's simply a copy. Maybe no one will even notice!
I just tried it out, your vertical stabilizer is positioned too far forward, this is what causes the severe yaw at low speeds. I suggest you move the vertical stabilizer further to the back of the aircraft, if that messes with looks, just scale it down using finetuner maintaining it's original mass.
@jamesPLANESii Thats a good idea haha, I will once there will be another prop class tournament, but not this one cause the pistons are xml modded twice the speed
@FlyingThings If they break try to set some of the rotating parts to no collisions. Even though it doesnt look like theyre colliding with anything it can still cause trouble. Also increasing mass on those parts will help with retaining momentum, but when adding ALOT of mass make sure you dismount them and reassembly them with shocks, with the help of shocks pistons and other mechanical parts can still operate well when attached to massive objects (this used to confuse me alot)
@FlyingThings Mine couldn't get off the ground either lol, the faster the engines turn the more torque there will be and so the more power. However making piston engines turn fast is the problem.

When are you going to upload again? Your builds are cool:^(
@WEAPONSMITH Thanks for the spotlight dude

COOL
Is the shaking glitch fixed?
I love this build, it shows what you can do with piston engines very well. Keep it up!

@MethaManAircraft Just came back from vaca lol, cool build though.
@SledDriver Np
Such smooth lines, very beautiful to look at.
I highly suggest you read the rules, copying planes is not allowed. This could get you banned if you continue. This is the final warning!
I made this plane, your new paint scheme is cool but credit would be appreciated.
This is cool, but to make a whole new game just for that? I believe this could be implemented into simpleplanes.
@EpicPigster1 That sounds like a good idea!

Also some of your propellers have their propeller pitch input set to "Throttle" which might be a problem.

Looks beautiful
@HakkeAirTech Thanks for the upvotes dude
This comment section is the best haha

@ZephyrSystems 500-1000 ft
Grats, that's alot of points!
@MASB29 Yeah it's pretty fast, thanks for the upvote
@Fjorge YUP
Thanks for the upvotes
@mistakenone
@TTHHSSSS
@AudioDud3
@Dene Thanks
@sexylips35 Tomorrow I'll try one on my new engine, I've got something special to work on right now
@sexylips35 Yes I can, but it may be hard..
@PlanesOfOld Nice job, I could never figure it out... Great to hear it's doing good!
@aircraftarsenal123 You could make a wind farm out of them lol
@FlyingThings It flies good, I got it up to 100 mph, and I lost the war XD
@Liquidfox Thanks dude
@Shmexysmpilot Yes they are! Thanks :D
@FlyingThings Great job! It looks complicated as hell, I'll check it out tomorrow!
Da heck lol
@BACconcordepilot Lol was just about to comment that ;-;
Big fan of this aircraft, a real beast!
@General360 Thank you
That's so damn cool! I'm surprised that it works.
@FlyingThings This means war...

@FlyingThings Once you get it it's really simple and fun
@FlyingThings Good luck
