F-4E has about 12000 Liter capacity with drop tank.
It has a 680 km combat radius.
So that's about 40 minutes cruise x 2 journeys plus about 30 minutes of combat.
about less than two hours in total.
Anyway it's definitely far more fuel efficient than SP.
@BoganBoganTheMan Close enough.
The BMW 803, being a coupled engine (consists of two BMW 801s), has very poor power-to-weight ratio. Actually nearly the whole fuselage from the round intake and behind is occupied by the engine and transmission.
@asteroidbook345 Yeah it did exist.
For once I doubted about its intake efficiency, but then I thought about Shinden... (Japanese pusher fighter with also small intake)
@asteroidbook345 both are not official.
what you see are models people made from other kits.
The nose intake is similar to the P.0310, and it has a different name (something like "version II" or stuff). It is practically another craft.
the boom intake version uses Me 262 wing set for the part beyond the booms, and is actually far more heavily armed (I count 8 barrels, and it has X-4 missiles) than my data, it all makes it feel far more like fiction.
This is the version I'm making. It is the version that Luft '46 actually has a blueprint-ish picture on.
Were it not for that I'd probably make the boom intake version. Far better firepower and easier shape.
@WarHawk95 Is the community THAT against anime-ish stuff?
I have a project to repaint a M.C. 72 into This (click the aircraft picture on top right).
This is an armed version of the original M.C. 72, with synchronized MG and for some reason two Mk46 torpedoes.
My next aircraft will also more-or-less be anime-ish, featuring IRL design with original markings and background settings.
Hmm... there was an air force hero in my country who passed away recently. Today was his funeral.
He downed two MiG-17s and damaged another two alone in his F-84 during the air combat over Matsu in 21 July 1956.
Just don't let him have the multiplayer mod and don't have a forum account (I think the forum rule requires you to be 13 or 15 to have an account, so your 9 yo child can't have one anyway)
Yeah I complained about similar stuff and there are BS users who can't tell good from bad trying "explain" to me.
And they said my manual pitch is "propeller breaks at high speed, you probably never tested it"
@ThePilotDude I know it's allowed in the rules, but I still feel somewhat weird about using them...
Plus it's just part of the problem. A lot of stuff IRL doesn't really make sense in SP, like... G-meter that max out at 15Gs (SP can easily reach 30, 40, 50 Gs), no oxygen problem, WEP/ MW50 doesn't necessarily work (propeller efficiency problem), far higher lift/drag ratio.....
Those are the primary reasons why I thought about Isekai-ing stuff.
@asteroidbook345 It was my first plane with fuselage number painted on the landing gear door... that's why I chose a gear down picture... perhaps that wasn't wise.
@asteroidbook345 The problem is more likely "clickbaitness" i.e. how much it lures people to even click it.
Detail belongs to AFTER the click, as even the largest details cannot be observed from thumbnail.
Which is why I originally asked about an alternative name for this aircraft because Drawing Number attracts no one.
But it seems that the American/fame bias in the SP community is stronger than my estimation... perhaps I need to make more "known" models, that's why there was this thread.
@Gnome360 You should be able to search airplanes and input "funky trees" (for some reason that also searches forum articles)
I don't want to sound whiny but seriously, there were at least three entirely identical questions in the last week.
@jamesPLANESii And, the falling props can destroy the rest of your plane.

@asteroidbook345 uhhh ok I'll try....
@asteroidbook345 "plug it to the old designersuite"?
I do have the old designer suite mod, but what exactly am I supposed to do?
@Darkhound No I'm talking about using them as the thumbnail of an uploaded plane.
Like This one
Well it was indeed very simple. This thing was supposed to be disposable....

Try a more colorful livery, maybe? J35J isn't really THAT curved to make liveries impossible.

Try to make better and better aircrafts. Perhaps even try to make videos and/ or mods.
+1you can use a PID controller to limit the Gs, or use a speed-dependent control surface scale to limit the angle of control surfaces.
And unfortunately, it is actually pretty difficult to make a realisitic turning model in SP due to the physics differences.
+1@jamesPLANESii colors are not final and I may decide to change the base green color to a lighter one later on...
@MRMDAWURM P-51 Mustang (that weighs only 2.7 tons)
and do we have quadcopter?
Also, I think there is one called twin prop or something.
@TheKraken3 Well I tried yellow. It works better as part of a camouflage.
I might try brown next.
@TheKraken3 Using high contrast colors would make camo ineffective, you know.
+1@WingworksDesignCo Please refer to the later 1.9.203 version
@Zoowarp Then your laptop probably dictates it's Fn + something = F12. It does exist for laptops as they need to reduce the number of physical keys.
One more note, if it is decided to go with the camo, there will be more camo element added before the release. Especially on the tail.
Interesting, because, the fin flash is ROCAF (Nationalist China Air Force)...
Well I usually warn people that my planes are not even keyboard friendly (you need to precisely control your control surfaces) and they complain....
+2Level 5: Wunderwaffe pilot (put a late war German plane with radical design)
@asteroidbook345 Plus, Shinden is air cooled, BMW 803 is liquid cooled.
Which means Shinden's MK9D will require better air flow than 803.
@asteroidbook345 Yeah it did exist.
For once I doubted about its intake efficiency, but then I thought about Shinden... (Japanese pusher fighter with also small intake)

BTW what anime is this?

Aside from that... yeah you should be fine.

+2And they said my manual pitch is "propeller breaks at high speed, you probably never tested it"
@ArcturusAerospace Oh, if that's the only reason...
My Isekai'd planes won't be anime-ish though.
I just borrowed anime/Japanese design concept.
@ArcturusAerospace Any particular reasons why you're so against the idea?
@ThePilotDude I know it's allowed in the rules, but I still feel somewhat weird about using them...

@VChart lol
It began to support FT after 1.9.2xx, so it's not included in the original 1.9.1 document.
+3@F4f879 Yes I think the rocket is 5 inch HVAR (WWII American airborne rocket)
+1Ju 287 was a medium bomber with 6 jets, not related to 87/187 except the numbers.
+2Torpedo looks more like Mk13 to me, Mk48 should have more details about the tail
@asteroidbook345 Yeah speaking of which, just how do you upload edited photo (like that B&V plane on the frontpage)?
