@Mercyaircraftcorporation Many thanks for your kind words, I was actually having a problem earlier where some of the tiny details like the pitot tubes on the nose and some static wicks on the tail were seemingly multiplying like Gremlins. At one point it was at 699 parts, so you can imagine my dismay when I got rid of all the little ghosts and still turned out to be under the limit.
I actually don't know what the limit is for spacing of pylons IRL, I'm guessing that it's so that you can fit anything on them regardless of its size. Here, the pylons are particularly spaced to allow for single missiles and bombs close to the fuselage and big penta rails at the outboards. I guess it's more efficient to be able to load them up indiscriminately but it's really not a problem in this game, so I could load up to my heart's content.
I am also glad that you think it's clean, as I still have a ways to go before I can build like Miko, Eden, Raptor or even the TSAD guys. I quite appreciate it.
Hey! I finally entered a challenge! This is the first aircraft of mine built with higher detail. I had another but I couldn't get it up to the required part count (that one will be released soon as well). Here, I am using several "tricks" (custom control surfaces, extra lights, canopy, loads of weapons) but I just barely got to the part count.
Even though I am using the names of real manufacturers and sort of realistic time periods, I am indeed choosing to ignore the fact that the Spanish Navy does not use the catapult system for its carrier (they operate Harriers on those instead). For the air operations, I am also choosing to ignore the existence of the EF-18 or the Eurofighter as part of Spain's participation in Airbus.
Is this based on a CASA C-295/235? I looks very reminiscent of it. Maybe it's just that the wing design seems very similar for these kinds of small turboprop transport aircraft, as it also reminds me of the C-212...
@Mustang51 Trust me, the fuselage is plenty long already. That is not to say it can't be even longer, but even to get it to how it is here I already streched it quite a bit.
Maybe I could've added the Spanish Air Force crest to the wings as well. I would have made all the control surfaces custom as well were it not for the fact that they tend not to work without massive amounts of drag as well as how finicky they are depending on their placement relative to the CoL. I will try it out though.
Man... You're an amazing builder. It's too bad the challenge has a minimum part count of 230 and I'm no good with details, I could probably build a sweet aircraft otherwise.
This is actually pretty damn well done! I don't know how it got marked as a successor of my CF6 since I don't see a single part of it i here, but do you mind if I make this a full on replica?
@MaxB17 Here it is! I think it's pretty close, honestly. The power is matched (including the reverse, idle+full power) and its appearance matches it pretty closely. AG1 for reverse, VTOL up for power.
@MaxB17 This is what I've got for now. What remains is to make it more accurate power-wise and probably shorten it and increase the curve of the shroud.
@MaxB17 Hi Max! Many thanks for your kind words, I didn't think people appreciated my engines all that much. I can absolutely research and try to build the engine by tomorrow. Any particular color scheme?
@Laurentjames123 It does, exactly the way it does on desktop.
To use blueprints you need to get images of the plane you're going to build. You click the left tab and click "Open Image" on a view (as the image would be from a certain view, like from the left or from the top). On Android you can only access the game's data folder, so it must be inside (Storage/Android/data/com.jundroo.SimplePlanes). I just have a diagrams subfolder and I copy-paste the downloaded images. Then, to see the image in-game, you must set the view and keep to it, which is kind of annoying as you don't have a scrollwheel on your phone and must pinch (so it's easy to get out of the view).
Thanks for the new 1.2 update! I was about to complain that I couldn't add attachments with my mouse and then I saw the new update was out. I take my hat off to you!
@Blueskies Yes and no. It would look funny in the way the A318 looks compared to the A320. I made with a way smaller wing initially, so it won't be too wonky.
Unfortunately my other variants (along with some other designs) got deleted from my phone, so I will have to redo them manually if anyone wants longer or shorter versions.
Awesome! I am a bit sad that you didn't include anything in the description like the history of the aircraft (like the fact that it's one of the few, if no the only large jetliner to include its own boarding stairs). But this is amazing!
@Nickr I know. You can imagine they're Pratt & Whitney JT8Ds like on a 737 Jurassic or something. I have bigger engines, but I didn't think a plane of this size warranted them.
@DPSAircraftManufacturer This one didn't have much effort put into it, thanks for offering. What I am going to do is to put flaps on another replica, and I would appreciate your help with that.
@Mobius1Cyka Right, I didn't put anything in the description. The gyro is activated with group 8 and is intended to assist in keeping leveled flight once a bomb in either wing has been dropped, upsetting the balance.
Extra notes: I noticed that the engines are rather small compared to the rest of the aircraft, and since they're so long, they look like turbojets, reminiscent of the Boeing 707 or other large quad-jet airliners. This plane never existed so im going to take a few liberties, but I will make a version with larger, more up to date engines.
Also I didn't get the shape of the wings quite right, but it's not the end of the world.
Ooohh looks nice! May I ask how you make the rotators activate only with the group?
Also, in my experience springs don't typically stand loads of over 10000 pounds. The suspension in the resizable wheels is a LOT sturdier, but they too will start to jitter when the aircraft is too heavy. So, if you must use suspension, then I suggest that you use the one in the Resizable Wheels or in the simple Landing Gear part, as part of your complex, custom gear.
@mikoyanster Should I upload a new version with a couple minor fixes? (It's the nose gear and the rudder)
@Burtcrusher You too, good luck!
@Mercyaircraftcorporation Likewise!
Is the vapor off the wings only available in SimpleWings?

Hey @mikoyanster, what version of Unity do you use? Is it 2018.3.6 as suggested in the guide, or a newer one?
@mikoyanster Is that just a thank you, or does that mean I can enter my usual extra-mobile-friendly aircraft (with all the weapons of course)?
Man... You're an amazing builder. It's too bad the challenge has a minimum part count of 230 and I'm no good with details, I could probably build a sweet aircraft otherwise.
Can we use mod parts, like the weapons bay fuselage? Or do we have to build it all ourselves?
This is actually pretty damn well done! I don't know how it got marked as a successor of my CF6 since I don't see a single part of it i here, but do you mind if I make this a full on replica?
Can I take this opportunity to join the list of people pestering you for built in XML editing?
@Mattangi2 Phrase your jokes better.
Also it's whoooosh with 4 o's.
@Mattangi2 It's always been on PC. You press the leftmost key on the top row.
What an absolute mad lad.
That is one long boi. I'll download it on my PC and tell you how it goes.
Beautifully done!
@dawson123 Can't be done.

Hey @MaxB17 ! Would you like me to make engine thrust identical to that of the original CF6-50?
@TheXDimension32 It actually seems pretty realistic except for the whole exploding thing. I could try to fix it.
@MaxB17 Hi Max! Many thanks for your kind words, I didn't think people appreciated my engines all that much. I can absolutely research and try to build the engine by tomorrow. Any particular color scheme?
Nice plane, but the landing gear seems to collapse under the weight, making the whole aircraft explode.
@mikoyanster It's cool. It just seemed a bit odd that there's been so many of these lately :)
Did y'all plan together to make these or something?
@mikoyanster Francamente no tenía ni idea. Obviamente hay españoles jugando, pero no me esperaba que fuera alguien muy conocido como tú.
Ya me están dando ganas de replicar algún avión español...
+2@Laurentjames123 I don't know. You can only see the images when the view is exact. It's made that way.

@Blueskies Yes and no. It would look funny in the way the A318 looks compared to the A320. I made with a way smaller wing initially, so it won't be too wonky.
@Blueskies Yeah, I was very unfortunate there and forgot to make a new backup.
How short do you want it? A bit shorter? Way shorter?
Haha nice!
¡Magnifica réplica! No creo que la tire mi móvil pero a ver cómo va en el PC... ¡Saludos desde Madrid!
@Blueskies I'm glad you like it!
