Very cool plane. The "animated air intake" catches my eye, i will test it out when i download to see if it is what i think it is. Like the others said i dont really think automated LG is necessary here, its usually a last ditch thing if youre out of AGs and need to bind something besides the landing gear to the LG input.
Instead here's another cool idea - use the same velocity input mechanic to make the landing gear automatically tear off when they're extended beyond a certain aircraft speed, as they do IRL.
As I was looking down the page, I was shocked at the amount of detail you put into this. I was even more shocked when I saw the low part count of 472. You did an awesome job with this. Worth 100 upvotes in my opinion
Sorry for the delay folks. I am only just able to start grading due to other commitments. Only 5 entries to get through if im not mistaken, so you should all receive a grade this week. Good luck. (Assuming anyone is reading this).
@Flash0of0green this is present on the real bomb as well. I would argue that it is probably intentional by General Dynamics that it reaches its target at a near-vertical angle, since the steeper the depression of ordnance/munitions, the higher the effectiveness against armor.
@Abhishek700 Yes
@EngineerOtaku Weapons and stores are more than allowed, but expected. The sub-assembly penalty only counts if you use someone else's subassemblies. If you make your own custom weapons, no points will be deducted.
@RailfanEthan The next war will not be nuclear because the top nuclear and overall military powers share the global economy and depend on one another for stable internal affairs. Total destruction of another nation will ensure MAD in two ways: the traditional military retaliation way, and also a complete internal capitulation. If, for some reason, the other nation doesn't fire back, your own nation will still be reduced to chaos and your economy will be permanently crippled.
There are, of course, smaller nations that are nuclear powers (see Pakistan and India), but because there are bigger military nations that aren't fond of war, these smaller nations will not resort to nuclear war either. The bigger nations would collectively come down on them to stop them from ruining the global economy and the international production chain.
@costr I feel that this was your best aircraft in this series so far. Its flight model is the most realistic, and it just feels fun and balanced to fly. Don't get discouraged because you got less upvotes. Be proud that you made a good plane :)
I am in awe. Just saying though, you should probably release an alternative version of your F-16 without the detailed cockpit, so it lags less if people don't want the cockpit. <3 @TakeYourLife3000
@WeSeekANARCHY These are called AWACS aircraft. They have extremely powerful radars and communicate positions of radar contacts with other friendly aircraft.
@FlagsWorldwide Im sure thats why you immediately deleted all of your upvotes on Hypixel's posts after noticing my comment. Again, I have photo evidence. I know this for a fact. I can at least say thanks for removing the rulebreaking upvotes.
@MasterCreeper Glad to hear it! Even though you may not be happy with your own building skill, the only way to improve is by actually building. Good luck if you do decide to enter.
@Abhishek700 You are allowed to take other's help, but make sure that you agree with your collaborators on who will receive the reward. Only one person shall be rewarded for each build: I will not split it.
@BogdanX Yes, there are lots of problems that ultimately root back to me not setting dragscale and massscale to 0 on parts that should have them. That resulted in the drag being quite severe, which had to be compensated by a lot of thrust, which messed up the T/W ratio... so on and so forth. In the end I felt that I was happy with it though, save for the ability to climb vertically indefinitely, since the turn rate/G-limiter are both pretty accurate and cool.
@temporaryaccount Yes, his is amazing. I am trying to help him with it as much as I can using the research I have learned from this build, but he has already done an outstanding job without much assistance. I am as excited for his as you are, haha.
Air power would naturally be the single most important military facet in modern total war, but invasion cannot work without some measure of infantry and armor.
Also note that your comment was pretty much completely unrelated to the main topic :|
"Because humans are bipedal (walk on two legs) this frees up our arms to do stuff. Like picking thing up, using tools, hitting things, smashing things, and so much more. Also, we have opposable thumbs that allow us to pick things up with great dextarity (I wish we had two thumbs for each hand). This allows for great versatility."
yea, because evolution. but since mechs are just robots and not humans with a long evolutionary history, having them take on a humanoid shape is rather stupid. its much simpler, cost effective (maintenance) and more efficient overall to just have land drones use tracks for traversing terrain and giving them however many robot arms they might need. bipedalism is a scam and tank tracks on human beings is the next logical evolutionary step lol
@TitanIncorporated This plane performs pretty much exactly how it should, except for stall characteristics (those cannot be modeled in SimplePlanes). Source: Similar airframes in DCS (F-86, MiG-15, MiG-19)
The visuals of this aircraft are not so impressive, so I really underestimated it before I downloaded it. But boy oh boy, the flight model alone is so hilarious that it deserves an upvote. It actually feels like a real Flanker does when fly by wire is overidden lol
posting this on the sp forums is just mean dude
