@Ultra0 I think there is a mod too for really powerful ones :P So cannons as in the ones for tanks and such? Maybe for better ground targeting or something?
Feel free to move the gyro, remove it, or change whatever lol. Its not meant to fly on real life, so it took a little to tweak it right. So, if you get it to fly better, post it as an update if you want. Have fun with it. Working on the Tie-fighter 1st gen now :)
Tomorrow, I will be changing the lift off to vertical and switching out engines :) I want to achieve vertical lift and land without gyroscoping. Wish me luck!
I need to do landing gear on this one too, which will require VTOL switching, but the game doesnt disable the number functions realtime unless you are at zero throttle first, Sooooo, Im gonna have to improvise ;)
So, the wing function is the VTOL sys. Up makes the wings expand for fighter mode and for flying and takeoff, 0 VTOL to full down has the same effect of flat wing mode. Full throttle and standard lift (above 300mph because pitch needs worked on) and minguns are space. Have fun with it so far!
With the new one updated, Im gonna wait to do more until Planeacc does the landing gear :) But again no rush! Gonna work on others soon :) STAY TUNED FOR UPLOADS!
@Planeacceleration Anytime is ok, Im in no rush :) I have an MP LAN but only three people on it so no rush and they only get to play a few days of the week :)
TO ALL: I would like to create an entire fleet of rebel fighters, empire jets and many others from the movies and the series. Then on a multiplayer map, people can do some kind of star wars no holds barred lol. Would be awesome! Also, working on an xfighter too. WIll update both asap
@Planeacceleration I just need to make sure I can put down you somewhere on it as a big help when complete. Do you or does anyone know how to reference others properly on finished builds?
@Planeacceleration Sure! Are you good at landing gear? You can roll with the back :) Remember they fold out from the front and the feet stay straight as it does :) TY if you are able to help!
@Zokowi I found by using the manual attachments instead of auto that I could place parts virtually anywhere. Thats how I did this one(so far). My thing of struggle is the landing gear lol. Got the front done(upcoming update), but 6 gear flaps in the rear is tough!
@Zokowi Thank you very much :) Funny you mention that because it was TOUGH to figure out how to make that curve! The bottom isnt even done because well....yeah lol It is not easy but def is fun!
I just tested this with size 10 fuselage cylinders in 2 ways:
1. I used them as rolling mechanisms, where every quarter of a turn, they jumped off the ground, then back down (verifying the box shaped collision).
2. Dropping other objects of different sizes and shapes ONTO those fuselage cyliners in the same roatation, noticing they halfway float above the points lower than the tallest point of the fuselage (indicating a non-curved surface). When I then rotate the fuselage, they fall as a greater than gravitational speed in the direction of rotation (also noting a collision that is causing them to drop slower than gravitational force in free-air space.
This shows me that the entire collision system (excluding game-made objects independent of building) is a single or maybe 2 collision poly-base (i.e. square, rectangle only).
How about a land based gun that shoots only the sphere objects, and make them really heavy and try to take out destroyers from land :P, put a camera that can be tracked if too far idk, sounds fun :)
@BogdanX xml for motor useage? That is something I would love to do yeah! Thank you. Thats why I create my piston drive in the first place, to be able to keep rotating :P Can we edit those properties in the in-game mod or from the actual xml file? I can do both, just curious if in-game is possible since I don't know what the properties are named yet. Thanks!
I could/should probably make the endcaps of the gear teeth hard edged, but This seems to work well too. Try messing around with the angles and such if you want, and I love input so if you find something that works as a modification of this successor, share it up :)
@Zokowi TY much :)
@Ultra0 Ok I like this. I am going to redo these to the cannons and make a few more changes now :)
@Ultra0 Sounds good TY Ill play with it and see :)
@Ultra0 oooo I see those. Lots of options for them!

Working on the tie fighter tonight :) Then Ill do the advanced tie fighter. Play around with this one, and let me know what can be better please.
Beat me to it :P This is AMAZING!
Tomorrow, I will be changing the lift off to vertical and switching out engines :) I want to achieve vertical lift and land without gyroscoping. Wish me luck!
If you need to, add more fuel appropriately in the right areas :P I just noticed the extra "boost" can suck it down
@An2k Glad you found it! Yeah I decided to make this and race on the track, its FUN! haha :) Enjoy it :)
@CRJ900Pilot Thank you :) Might work on it more today :)
What is it that you want to do with it?

@Planeacceleration Welcome!

@Planeacceleration I just uploaded the one without bomb bays. Let me know if you need more done :)
@Planeacceleration Anytime is ok, Im in no rush :) I have an MP LAN but only three people on it so no rush and they only get to play a few days of the week :)
@Zokowi yeah I can maybe get screenshots of the movie or pause it and take pics maybe. And hope they are not blurry lol. Good idea!
@Planeacceleration Sure! Sorry I hadnt been available lately but I can do that now :)

@Biscool IKR! This thing is underestimated by many of them yet it pulls through :)

@Planeacceleration Thank you :)
https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/nS75uU/Razor-Crest UPDATE 3
https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/nS75uU/Razor-Crest :UPDATE 3
@Zokowi So far :) Had trouble with attachments (as expected) but front is working now :)
@SgtRXMT Like this? Update 3 :) Doing the rear landing gear today if possible
@SgtRXMT Will do :)
Posting now

Just checked it out, its amazing!
@Zokowi Thank you very much :) Funny you mention that because it was TOUGH to figure out how to make that curve! The bottom isnt even done because well....yeah lol It is not easy but def is fun!
Getting there!
@Wahoo12 No worries :)
@SgtRXMT TY! I have an update today, Ill post it as soon as I finish a few things :)
@Wahoo12 lol yeah I am glad to be back again though! Got some star wars planes and stuff gonna be doing :) started an xfighter:) we should colab!
+1I have not been on in over a year but seen the results here and TY so much for this :) hard work pays off! Enjoy :)

+1@MlgNoob Thank you Mig :)
@Gameboi14 THank you very much :)
@EternalDarkness Thank you much :)
I think a train would be cool :) You can make it pretty much as long as you can (island limited of course)
@e1theoriginalguy I don't think so lol. I'm very nice and chill usually :P
@BogdanX xml for motor useage? That is something I would love to do yeah! Thank you.

@BogdanX I am an artist lol so maybe that took part naturally :P Thank you!
