I've been offline for a few days and missed this! Walrus Sr. here to say thank you. We are both still in the game but the time we have to build is limited these days :-(. We were both thrill d to see you use the Walrus name, and would like to see you surpass our points interest as well. Keep up the good work! @Himynameiswalrus
@josef733 Hi this is Walrus Jr. and I would like to personally thank you for this heart warming comment. I worked very hard on this plane, and am glad you enjoyed it so much!
@AudioDud3 - Yes, Kevin Murphy (Jundroo game artist) used my bomber for the game. He needed to bring down the part count, but you can obviously tell it is mine. One of the game racers is also my plane.
@TheBroadside @Unstable - LOL... You know I grew up in the Cold War, about 2 KM from an airport and military base in Canada that was covertly holding nuclear rockets (AIR-2 Genie) in case Russian's came over the pole and were spotted via the Dew Line. We were most certainly a target for bombers or an ICBM. As a child I was terrified of nuclear war and would sit in my bed at night praying that I was within the kill zone and would be vaporized and not burned but still alive. We usually look back at the past with a sense of nostalgia, but we lived in dark times and I can only look back at that period in my life with a shutter.
Hey guys. I recommend you do two things at your booth. One, I would set up two big monitors to allow a "build off" between your visitors. You can run a competition every hour. Second, use PowerPoint in slide show mode to loop through all the coolest user designs. Let the player's creations speak for themselves. Show / talk about the humble beginnings of your game and the early designs of the players and talk about how everything has progressed to where it is now. You have a great story to tell how a bunch of friends took the plunge to build physics based games. You left great jobs to do this and made personal sacrifices. You have a great story about building a community of players, a story of working with players to improve the game, and the story of the players themselves who are passionate and creative. Speak from the players perspective. Whenever I'm at a convention or speaking in front of crowds, I speak with the voice of the end user, and do so with passion and excitement. You always win when you combine your passion with the voice of the user. I wish I could be there to speak for you. Good luck! @joeysellers @NathanMikeska @andrewgarrison @kevinmurphy
Kevin Murphy, Walrus Jr., and I were horsing around with this last night around midnight. We all recognize how you've steadily improved your design and this a brilliant update. Really nice job man!
I'm working on a B-29 right now (this is Walrus Sr. you are talking to btw). That said, it would be fun to build this with full swash plate... two I guess for the dual rotors. If you are looking for a non flying / 3D print version, that would be easier and faster to build than a full blown working copy. That's the challenge in this game. You need your creation to look good and still work with the prescribed physics. If you can let me finish my B-29, I can start mocking this up. Have you serviced or flown this bird before? @Jessier

@Cambodia22 No It is not. This was our first successful airplane on the site!
@Trainzo - Thank you very much!
@Tully2001 Sr. made it
Cool!
Lol! Great to have you back, and don't leave for so long again! Missed you a lot
No worries. Glad to have you on the game! @AudioDud3

@josef733 - Thanks very much. Sorry for the late response! So glad you got some enjoyment out of this.
Lol
A MD-11? The biggest plane I have seen there so far a 787.
Congratulations!
Thank you! @FasterThanLight
Nice to see you again MrPines. Where have you been? @MrPines
Glad to see you back! I will fly this when our PC is fixed.
Really fantastic job!
I made this before weapons were introduced into the game. I'm using super detachers to launch the missiles. @Drobot432
@PlanesOfOld Lol, Glad you liked it! Had you in mind.
@Filip123 Thank you!

Yes, and I can give you the version with the paratroopers that pop out if you like. @Delosofy
@Cedy117 - The old switcharoo... Oh, my that was a terrible Dad joke. I'll let myself out now. Sr. out.
Thank you. I'm curious about the wing issue. Are you running this on a mobile device? Are your physics settings on low? @Kazin
@Cedy117 That was on my phone, so I had to transfer this to my PC when I got home from school.
@Cedy117 Thank you, but what do you mean by watching?
@Himynameiswalrus Yeah!
Thanks @jamesPLANESii I hope you have a good day and a good breakfast!
@jamesPLANESii @BaconAircraft Thank you!
@MrSilverWolf @BogdanX Thanks guys!
Nice, Best one on here!
This plane looks downright dorky when you scale the wings back up. @Wakescar
@mustafanaveed - You're very fast.
@SkullsAndCrossbones Thanks for pointing this out.
Dang this looks really good! I am working on some things right now and will fly this later.
Yes, I think you may have given it in another posting, but I don't recall which one. @Jessier
FYI. I have not forgotten about this but I'm really busy at work these days. @Jessier
Well thank you! @rubbishcraft
Oh yes, I gave him credit, too. @kikasshes

No, it does not roll. It's a solid block. @PyroManiac
When are you guys coming to Austin ;-)
I love seeing new innovations like this. Well done man!

Has anyone made it yet? I'm not sure if the blades would print out. @Jessier
Actually, I made it for Jundroo.
I looked for it, but could not find it. When did you los? @FightingFalcon
@Avaitors101 @StormstarHTF - maybe it is time for a new Tuk Tuk. What do you guys think?
