Charles Elwood Yeager (/ˈjeɪɡər/ YAY-gər, February 13, 1923 – December 7, 2020) was a United States Air Force officer, flying ace, and record-setting test pilot who in 1947 became the first pilot in history confirmed to have exceeded the speed of sound in level flight.
Yeager's career began in World War II as a private in the United States Army Air Forces in 1941. After serving as an aircraft mechanic, in September 1942, he entered enlisted pilot training and upon graduation was promoted to the rank of flight officer (the World War II USAAF equivalent to warrant officer), later achieving most of his aerial victories as a P-51 Mustang fighter pilot on the Western Front, where he was credited with shooting down 11.5 enemy aircraft (the half credit is from a second pilot assisting him in a single shootdown).
After the war, Yeager became a test pilot and flew many types of aircraft, including experimental rocket-powered aircraft for the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics. As such, he became the first human to officially break the sound barrier on October 14, 1947 when he flew the experimental Bell X-1 at Mach 1 at an altitude of 45,000 ft (13,700 m), for which he won both the Collier and Mackay trophies in 1948. He then went on to break several other speed and altitude records in the following years.
Yeager later commanded fighter squadrons and wings in Germany, as well as in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War. In recognition of the outstanding performance ratings of those units, he was promoted to brigadier general in 1969, retiring on March 1, 1975. Yeager's three-war active-duty flying career spanned more than 30 years and took him to many parts of the world, including the Korean War and the Soviet Union during the height of the Cold War. Throughout his life, he flew more than 360 different types of aircraft.
Not play SP but maybe pong. You could probably make pong if you used the cockpit location as a variable. Each paddle could match up to where the cockpit is
In my opinion, we do nothing. None of this is important enough for me to care about it. I have a life outside of this website, and it takes up about 90% of my time. This is very insignificant.
True, but people can make just as good stuff on mobile as they can on pc. I should make something entirely on mobile so people can see that it's possible to make good stuff
@WiiMini The engines do need a revamp. The fuel consumption is too high and the power is unrealistic
+3Did you even look at a P-38
+3It looks like the German Corsair but better
+3You've started on custom gear! Now you should try custom control surfaces
+3Better overall, but the first 6 months will be the same
+3This is some Cyberpunk 2077 tech right here
+3And Romania and Sweden and Australia
+3You forgot the Soviet Union
+310 parts. Those are rookie numbers. You gotta get those down

+3How about you restart your computer

+3@AlmostMobileFriendly yeah lol. Mobile unfortunately doesn't yield great screenshots
+3You make some pretty nice stuff. If you had someone doing more high-res screenshots you'd probably get a lot of upvotes
+3When the minimum part count is 200 but you enter something that doesn't have booms and is 72 parts
+3When the minimum part limit is 200 and you enter something with 39 parts

+3@Jerba It's from Russia which is basically if Top Gear became a country

+3When you put "that nobody wants" in the name, the prophecy tends to fulfill itself
+3I can make custom engine sounds and songs

Also the wing thickness thing is going to be an absolute game changer (pun 100% intended) for newer players making replicas
+3lmao

+3It's funny that I scrolled past this and thought it was a moderator post
+3Idk just don't delete it. Deleting your account is basically a big middle finger to everyone who likes your stuff
+3Kenneth_ used this in his video and I was thinking "How did he render an actual car in sp??"
+3Stay snug Tunguska
+3Mods don't work on mobile anymore. There are a couple of mod plugins that work, but those are just maps.
+3@Highground I am the senate
+3@CenturyAerospace Well that depends on the build. Obviously I'm not going to put a cockpit on the center of an aircraft carrier
+3If only we had earthquakes in sp lol
+3@Default4 It's already squid and the n word put together, and when it was accompanied by black squidward it was clearly meant as a racist word.

+2I wonder if building my trains will become easier
+2This is the biggest drop of 2024
+2@jamesPLANESii yeah and they all only have 4 days
+2Can't wait for someone to do the MiG-1.44
+2I should fight it with an actual ship
+2@GuardianAerospace gun enrich mind by increasing lead content
+2why is a gun ok for school but art isn't
+2I like how bassoon and fagot are the same word in multiple languages. Does that make bassoons the globally agreed gayest instrument?
+2@GuardianAerospace T-84 is Ukrainian so it's 10000% better than a T-90
