I like it, but fuselage cutting (especially in areas like the engine kangaroo) would definitely help you:
A. Lower your part count with the same detail, or
B. Increase your detail for the same part count.
This is the original rocket. You did a good job. I compared it to a real one I see every day, the similarity is almost perfection. The fuselage has the right curves, and it seems a little weird in real life but it flows very well here.
The bottom of the nose is very weird, the curves aren't quite right. In fact all the angles are a bit weird, but the thing that I see the most is that it has an uncanny resemblance to the 757 nose from Savageman...
It looks okay but the flight characteristics are extremely unrealistic. I don't know any 757s that can do 1,027 mph in level flight and take off in under 600 feet.
@Annedzsrue hey, thanks for the detailed reply! One of my main concerns was the cargo doors on both sides, instead of only on the starboard side (item number 4). The empty weight of a 747-8 is over 400,000 pounds, that was my point, that the airplane is generally too light for the fuel load. Let me say, however, that this airplane is pretty good for the amount of parts included and the time you spent on it. I think that a lot of these issues could be rectified with coding, and that you could make planes rather "cheaply" (parts wise) that have a lot of functionality. Either way, I was probably a bit too harsh. Thanks for being one of the few airliner creators that actually posts planes on a regular basis lol (my last one was 2020, but check out my profile to see what's taking me 14 months to build so far)
If you have any FT coding needs, my discord is klm747#6534.
@PlaneFlightX I am here
I like this, it's really cool and could definitely be used in some really nice finished creations. Kind of like a return-to-home feature!
Thing I like:
1. Startup feature
2. There is some cockpit modeling (interior)
3. The usage of text to save windows parts
4. The livery is quite realistic
5. Flight dynamics are pretty good, except for the speeds.
Things that could use work:
1. The autopilot cannot actually turn the plane to a heading, climb to an altitude, or anything besides fly in a straight line. It's kind of a gimmick since we already have the default game autopilot.
2. The airplane has slides but no doors
3. The slide behind the wing goes straight through the flaps if they are both down.
4. Cargo doors on both sides of the airplane.
5. Landing gear retracts on the ground.
6. Reverse thrust works in midair
7. You can't use the speedbrakes in midair without cutting all engine power and reversing the engines?
8. No flap load relief system (not that big of a deal but it takes 0 parts)
9. Registration is a 747-400
10. livery isn't quite accurate on the tail section.
11. The paneling on the upper nose and "cheeks" could be better, we have fuselage cutting after all
12. The landing gear collides with the other gears when retracting
13. The takeoff run is way, way too short.
14. the low speed ailerons don't lockout.
15. no gear tilt :(
16. all the ailerons are just flat panels with no depth
17. The spoilers don't help with roll
18. No suspension
19. Body gears don't assist steering below 15 knots
20. Nose gear steering turns 90 degrees
21. Nose gear steering doesn't unlock until 35 knots, instead of 60 on the real 748
22. This plane uses an absurd amount of fuel idling, 12.5 Liters/second
23. The airplane is able to climb at 12,200 feet a minute from sea level fully loaded??
24. The weight of the aircraft is much too light for the amount of fuel that's displayed on the cockpit instrument panel.
25. The nose landing gear doors clip through everything when it's extended or retracted.
Not sure how nice you wanted this plane to be, but it could really use some more work. The idea is good, but the execution could be a bit better.
Oh yeah and by the way there's no such engine as the GENX 71-B
@CarrotSlicingCat meh, it's barely 1500 parts
@WiFly Thank you! and it's less than half the parts of the last one! 1726>756. Literally 1,000 parts less.
So basically war thunder
@Nerfaddict I will, I can guarantee that this will be below 5500 parts.
@X99STRIKER Expected to be done before May 5.
+1@asteroidbook345 thank you, my first airplane with fully openable doors and extra features.
When are people going to stop making these
+7@1918 All's good, thanks for explaining.
I like the liveries, but no credit?
@X99STRIKER yep, it's gone now tho because it's obsolete due to 1.11.
+1@SheriffHackdogMCPE yep.
+1@PlaneFlightX I have the same issue, my 757 wheels were white
@SheriffHackdogMCPE this is a bug on PC too. quite annoying.
+1I like it, but fuselage cutting (especially in areas like the engine kangaroo) would definitely help you:
+1A. Lower your part count with the same detail, or
B. Increase your detail for the same part count.
@realSavageMan yes.
+1@teddyone02 this less than half the parts tho. Almost a third.
You literally changed nothing
ahh yes this is VR
Ahh yes the 757 is getting some more attention (and only 803 parts, very impressive)
+1@hpgbproductions I like the idea but the fps is very bad with anything over 500 parts. Any way to fix this? Still trying to get it working smoothly.
@tarikGR nope, your creation does not work properly in the latest version.
@tarikGR I mean you're not even playing on the latest version so..
@tarikGR we are playing on 1.12.118.3 lol
+1I like the interior detail, but the outside needs a bit of work especially on the vertical stabilizer and main wings.
+5This is the original rocket. You did a good job. I compared it to a real one I see every day, the similarity is almost perfection. The fuselage has the right curves, and it seems a little weird in real life but it flows very well here.
+1@qcwl I mean the part right beneath the cockpit windows ,the curve is a bit jagged.
The bottom of the nose is very weird, the curves aren't quite right. In fact all the angles are a bit weird, but the thing that I see the most is that it has an uncanny resemblance to the 757 nose from Savageman...
@Soardivision160th I flew one to Puerto Rico 2014, same it was still in silver. I was only 11.
It looks okay but the flight characteristics are extremely unrealistic. I don't know any 757s that can do 1,027 mph in level flight and take off in under 600 feet.
+1@WiFly I know you too
Wait a minute I know you
@Medipilot this post is so outdated, the pictures don't even work anymore.
@WiFly Here's the most recent post, add me on discord klm747#6534 and ill send you the xml of the wing later.
@WiFly haha, Check the time in between this post and now. It really wasn't a jump.
@WiFly This wing technique is actually bad now, The good version is This. It's a full airfoil with all the proper curves.
is it supposed to balance on the nose wheel
the air inlets being on top worked great, I tested it in water of 200 feet depth and it still functions properly!
Very very nice
@ChromeRailfan Is the kind of person who asks for a discount on his 99 cent value fries
@RachelGardner just update the xml bruh
@realSavageMan yeah I forgot
+3I did now, but you gotta add FBW to your next airbus plane

@PlenBoi has a point.
+1It's still a good plane, but it could be so much more efficient and smoother if it used fuselage cutting.
@Augusta81 Lol some of them would take 10 seconds to fix.

My best record on package delivery-9913. Only lost points on the landing, even though I buttered it in.
first comment
NVM
I really like this.
But the ILS features for wright airport aren't working.
+3@F1849 it's installed now, I'm working on part reduction.
@asteroidbook345 you can ask me on discord if you have any questions, I'm in spbc as klm747
