@ChiChiWerx Realistically, I don't think it would be getting enough airflow to the engine. I don't know enough about the topic to be certain but it sure does look sleek and it works in simpleplanes. so I'm happy.
@Minecraftpoweer Why not build a simple structure with air to air on one side and air to ground on the other. maybe blue and green to tell the difference.
I somehow managed to hover this plane. Nice work on the thrust vectoring as it's a tricky thing to get working. I recommend adding roll control in them too. Just nudge those rotators. Remember, with thrust vectoring, a little movement is a lot, it's easy to stall.
I've got another idea. This one sounds like it might not be too difficult but I don't make mods so I don't know. What if there was a mod that changed the "Orbit Camera" to auto aim at whatever you're targeting. if you have no target, it would stay as the normal orbit camera. I think it would be useful and fun for dogfights and maybe races too. maybe it would be like the cockpit view where you can drag the view around but when you let go it snaps back to the target.
I like making my own tailhooks. maybe this mod should also add a block that fits on the end to work with the arresting wire. Similar to the air refueling mod and the ability to make you're own refueling probe.
@ChiChiWerx thanks! I wasn't sure about the single engine either. I was going to give it two under wing engines but the one in the middle just looked so streamlined.
@Sgtk I'm not sure how well this fits the catagory of "Short Haul" but it's something I've wanted to build for a while and it seemed to work for this challenge.
Well I was planning on building the Boeing 2707-200 SST which is a beautiful supersonic airliner concept of the 60s but I don't think it fits the criteria of performing "Short haul flights" so maybe I'll build a mini version? @Sgtk How will you be judging the ammount of passengers? is it just a guess based on the size?
@ThingThatFliez You should be able to land at around 180mph. You may want to lay off on braking till you're fully on the ground. I also play at High Physics so that may have something to do with it.
@Tang0Down I built this as a very slight variation of my F/A-18C Hornet which I packed
as many features as I could into. I'm planning on making a Super Hornet soon. The tricky part is the intake shape as it may be hard to replicate.
@Tang0Down Thanks! if you have some sort of XML mod you can set inputs to "Activate1" through "Activate 8" to make toggleable controls. I never liked having to press a button, slide the VTOL, then press the button again and once I learned how I'm never going back.
@Minecraftpoweer do you have steam? I think it would be easier to communicate there instead. I'm Greasy Tortle or greasytortle on steam with the same profile picture as here.
@Minecraftpoweer I think I'll have to make a new Maverick model alltogether as this one is smaller than the inferno missile. The inferno looks like it's based on the Hellfire missile which is 0.69m shorter than the AGM-65 Maverick
@AmazingAidan Yeah that's definately my biggest fear at any airshow. They're doing so many dangerous maneuvers that could easily turn into a disaster if the pilot makes one wrong move. Coincidentally I've had multiple dreams of planes crashing and almost hitting me. It might have something to do with a Cessna crashing into my friends house back in middle school. It created a small blackout in his neighborhood.
Sleek and shiny! I like it also, you have no idea how happy I get when people invert their propeller engines like this. More often than not, the Propellers will both be spinning in the same direction which would create unpreferable roll in real life.
The more important question is how do you give extra points to people for things like challenges? I'd like make a challenge but I don't know how to give rewards other than a nice comment, upvote, and spotlight. @Tully2001 @Awsomur @DerekSP
@Minecraftpoweer Sure! I've never directly collaborated with anyone yet. Do you know how to attach parts to bombs and missiles. I'm guessing it may work the same as the smoke trail mechanism.
@Minecraftpoweer Yeah maybe swap out those Boom50s for more realistic looking JDAMs and those Infernos for Mavericks. I made a player controlled AGM-65 Maverick this morning but I still don't know how to link parts to weapons. Might upload those if I figure it out. for now the Guardian and Interceptor make good AIM-9s and AIM-120s.
@Minecraftpoweer They are custom and I disabled the collisions. It might be something involving the spring I put in them. It's not a big deal but if you're doing slow motion and looking from the underside it's a bit of a bother.
@Minecraftpoweer Yeah I'm not sure exactly what it does. In my F-18 it makes the landing gears pop out for whatever reason. at least it doesn't explode though.
Sequenced gear doors! I just scrap them all together and have my gears merge into the plane. I'm definatly going to look into this though.
@ThingThatFliez How fast are you landing it? also are you playing on Mobile or computer?
WnOiWce
@Minecraftpoweer I'm about to test it now :D
@Minecraftpoweer I guess just make two uploads then?

That has got to be the strangest rudder design I've seen but I love it.
I thought this was the model on the mods page then I saw the part count. Excellent attention to detail!

I vote yes.
I approve.
@JohnnyBoythePilot What do you think?
@BroAeronautics heres my Super Hornet. I just released a Growler too.

Hey! Link! Listen!
@PyrusEnderhunter as a Chicagoan I must say it is and always will be the Sears Tower.
RIP Steve-o. He went over a small bump and lost the lower half of his body.
I really like the camera view beside the cockpit.
@Tang0Down The Russian F-22 or the SU-47 with the forward swept wings?

@Minecraftpoweer Thanks again for all the work!
+1@Planeboi947 Me and @Minecraftpoweer are already working on it. :)

@Minecraftpoweer The Cleaver missile would have to be scaled down a bit to fit inside. Is there any way to disable the folding wings of the Cleaver?
@I guess take out the cockpit, engine, fuel tank, Boom50s and attach it to a Cleaver missile that flies maybe 50% faster?
@Minecraftpoweer Yeah this wasn't intended to be a subassembly. If I were to make this into a missile model I'd disable the control surfaces.
@AmazingAidan Yeah that's definately my biggest fear at any airshow. They're doing so many dangerous maneuvers that could easily turn into a disaster if the pilot makes one wrong move.

+2@FastDan Ahh I see. what if they don't have that many creations?
@FastDan Like upvoting deupvoting and reupvoting multiple times?
@Minecraftpoweer
@Minecraftpoweer I've built the Maverick as a miniature plane. I'll link you in it.

@Planeboi947 Yeah you have to take off from the air but once you're flying it's quite maneuverable.
@Minecraftpoweer Alright I hope you enjoy. Make sure to read the controls.
