Quite lovely. I think i can make some cosmetic inprovements if you dont mind. Its only a problem that its much smaller than it should be. Dont mind if i change proportions a bit and scale it up before you finish?
@asteroidbook345 yes, no problem. It is an often problem with roll... when some part sticks into another somewhere in a wing - it changes wing flexibility and make a plane roll... i usually delete one part of a wing after another and look for when it stops rolling. than try to swap a part of a wing frome some older working save
@ChiChiWerx hm... so far i didnt see such thing. Although i have some troubles with convair on crosswing landings, it veers violently into the wind after touchdown, but i suspect this is of different origin. Can i see a patient?) On which speed it happens?
@Solarisaircraft well, thats why its v0.9... actually nose and cockpit windows are quite similiar in shape on those planes, but i still need to delete upper windows, make the rear lower ones wider and add a cockpit interior
@ChiChiWerx oh, and i forgot:
1) two rotators are connected to each other: fuselage, powered connector, free spin connector, door
2) there is a third 90* free spin one in parallel - fuselage - rotator- door. It limits the closed position so the door cant go up in fuselage
@ChiChiWerx there is actually one rotator with 180 degree free spin and a 270 degrees powered one. The door opens because it has springs on the bulkhead when a powered rotator goes "open" first. But than the door stops at 90 degrees due to springs length, but the rotator still moves using that 180* free spin. Due to that, when you retract gear, the rotattor have to first move throuth that free spin area, and only than a doors starts closing with delay that allows the gear to retract first. So far its the only way i found how to make such doors. You can send me a plane you need to fix
@243687034 Thsanks a lot! Actually i will probably upload a better version of this one with gyros and awesome thrust reverses animation soon. Its more or less ready, but i still have to finish cockpit windows at least, and i always wanted to make cockpit interior like REW did with 737, but it adds a lot of work... And i kind of getting bored unfortunately, feel lasy do finish some, there is too much of boring work to fine tune everything
@REW - this plane has a usual glitch for heavy planes - wheels jumpind and skidding while on the ground - it is cured by decreasing traction and not using autotraction. I've made such an adjustment for your plane: http://www.simpleplanes.com/a/EJOE9Y/Boeing737-800
@MrSilverWolf no problem, i have suggested other players use them somewhere in comments. Write me if smth doesnt work. And note - there are two doors in front that move the same speed as gears themself, and 2 sets of doors in the rear, that move opposite direction, each time you close or open gear, you see one pair going down, while the other goes up into fuselage. Take a look on this one, gear doors work the same, but you can see more clear how it works:
@AndrewGarrison @ColonelStriker thanks!
About the intake - if it is straight throug, it would be possible to make a pipe with needed shape from 2-3 pipe shaped intake blocks. And simply attach it to a normal fuselage - it will be the rear wall, just like in current intake block looks
can you please also make intake blocks straight through, without rear wall? it will make possible to make longer and more realistic shaped intakes...
And make it possible to add a delay timer on rotattors, separate for movement each side. That is necessary to make realistic landing gear doors that will close after the gear, but will open instantly.
@AdrianFlyingAce Well, An-124 is 10-15 years younder, received brand new in 1980s d-18 high-bypass turbofans right away, and if you compare the latest C-5 with the an-124 - there is not much real difference, lates c-5 can take just a little less cargo than a ruslan. i think it smth like 138 tonn vs 150 tonn, not that much of a difference. And An-225 is an outstanding plane, but its MUCH bigger. And its just an AN-124 with a new bigger mid-wing section (new tail is just to carry a cargo above fuselage, it would have worked ok with a normal an-124 tail), it is totally possible to make a 6 engine c-5 with justt the same specs as an-225, but it's just not worth it economically.
Looks amasing! Though i think b-58 has a bigger wingspan...
Landing gear is freaking outstanding! I think i can try adding animated gear doors if you want
p.s. its weird that elevators deflect to the wrong side regarding pitch up/down. And the plane is too speedy, it doesnt pith up below 300 mph which is way to high for landing
p.p.s wheels shake a bit on the ground. I had this problem with my 350 000 lbs Myasichev bomber - you can solve this by editing wheels to a low traction front and sideways - for me that was just 0.1, but your plane is lighter and has more wheels, 0,5-0,7 wil probably be enough
@pushthelimits Thanks. It's like 1960s version, and i do admit, it looks kind of more elegant. But I plan on making another "modern" one with modern streamlined prop, like current D-27 engine
http://spetstechnoexport.com/upload/engines/D-27.jpg
Hm. You've made a leadin edge single piece? Wings are flexible, it woul bend out of shape probably...
And one more thing, tu-104 cabin is a closer match, i can swap it
Quite lovely. I think i can make some cosmetic inprovements if you dont mind. Its only a problem that its much smaller than it should be. Dont mind if i change proportions a bit and scale it up before you finish?
@asteroidbook345 can i take a look before you release? Im quite curious
@asteroidbook345 yes, no problem. It is an often problem with roll... when some part sticks into another somewhere in a wing - it changes wing flexibility and make a plane roll... i usually delete one part of a wing after another and look for when it stops rolling. than try to swap a part of a wing frome some older working save
tail is too short
Looks extremely promising!
Аt last) is it possible to get a glass block size adjustable like fuselage?
Great model and a great movie))
well may be only Daisuke's ass is not so great ;)
+1looks great!
most useful plane ingame ;)
+2I like the springsharp info! I feel like i have to make a ship myself)
@ChiChiWerx ok! Interesting project) you can do a range than, su-9, su-17, with triangle, swept and variable sweep wings)
@ChiChiWerx hm... so far i didnt see such thing. Although i have some troubles with convair on crosswing landings, it veers violently into the wind after touchdown, but i suspect this is of different origin. Can i see a patient?) On which speed it happens?
can you send it to me? i can take a look.

@Franticmatty no problem) BTW, was in france a maonth ago) My mothers friends bought a 18 century villa in Ancy le Franc and made a hotel there)

2) there is a third 90* free spin one in parallel - fuselage - rotator- door. It limits the closed position so the door cant go up in fuselage

@243687034 well, im working on the update for Myasichev and on tu-95 ) unfortunately, i'm stuck trying to find out why it pulls to the left a bit...
Great plane! just like i like)
p.s. i suggest you take a look on my gear doors mechanism, wil fit nice on this plane

@REW You are amasing. This plane is unbeatable. I quit ;)
@Franticmatty
May be this one wont be so bad in MP) but only on your own risk))
Great! I think just the engines are slightly oversised, plus i suggest you take the gear doors from my cv-880, it will be amasingly cool
This is just good!
You're on the right road to realism, comrade!

WOW! Some of things i wanted ingame are already here) The only thing left is a real aerodynamic calculations (blade physics like in X-Plane)
@Kevinairlines sorry, didnt get whst to see, but im interested)))
@Sunnyskies exactly) but when the planes are so similiar, there will always be forum warriors fighting over which is best)
@Sunnyskies Trim slider would be useful) Great jop othervise
p.s. you can XML edit rotators that control flaps and spoilers so they only turn down or up

Looks VERY promising...
Very nice! Can i suggest you to use wings and main gear from my cv880? They are similar in from, but slightly more realistic. I can help fit them
https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/aMc37w/Convair-CV-880-Preview-0-8-with-Tu-104-nose
@robloxweponco im just kidding. It will barely work om the most expencive mobile devices, around 800)
@robloxweponco counts if it works on Laptops? ;) Relax, just joking. It lags on my office laptop )))
290 parts((( i have one, but it has 600+ and better flown with gyrococpit mod...
I think the wings trailing edge could have been done better, but thats IMHO. Great creation overall
Hа) I've just thought to make a challenge)
swept angle is too low
@cvoky still. I was surprised when first knew. And i think there is another similar but bigger and supersonic tupolev drob
ne
How about the description?) Nobody knows that USSR had supersonic reconaissance drones in 1960s)
Looks amasing! Though i think b-58 has a bigger wingspan...
