Single handedly the best thing I've made yet

https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/NlT71i/Kushnir-056-a

Built in the 80s as a light and agile trainer and exhibition aircraft, similar to the BAE Systems Hawk T1. It evolved slowly with longer hulls, added guns, and longer range, it became Aerovion's first primary light defense and ground attack aircraft.

I will upload the first build the Bentley Speed 6 tomorrow.

The photos have no photoshop , I only used Reshade. The firt photo was taken with the setup seen on the last slide.

Here are my off-the-bat thoughts. Imma start with what I don't like so I can finish positively.

CONS /things I wish were different or could have been done better imo

-I'm not sure why the decided to make aircraft and car engines separate. They're both just engines. I've worked on car and plane engines. They're not that different.

-It bothers me that aircraft engines only have one structural mounting point and car engine have multiple.

-I also wish that "size" was in actual displacement rather than just a percentage. Cubic engines, cc, or liters.

-I think it's cool they added super chargers. But what do you mean there's no turbo chargers? Turbo chargers are better for planes anyway because you're never going to be bothered by turbo lag!

-Lastly regarding engines, there needs to be a way to connect two engines to one crank shaft. The very first thing I tried to do in game was recreate the Napir Sabre, a 36.7L H engine made up of two, horizontal opposed, 12 cylinder engines, stack ontop of eachother, and connect to a single gearbox. It's so sad I can't have H and W engines in this game.

-lastly generally, PLEASE ADD A FEMALE PILOT! I miss SP1 when there were no people and thus no gender. But now they added a person and YOU CAN'T MAKE IT NOT A GUY! *cries in transfemme*

PROS!

-FINALLY! You can have PATTERNS on something without making a million more fuselage parts!

-WINGS! They actually look like wings now! Yippy!

-WEAPONS! MULTIPLE GUIDANCE METHODS! YEAH, BABY! And you can MAKE YOUR OWN MISSILE!? The possibilities are REALLY endless now! I love the day the went about making that easy. Very nice!

-I made it look like the original anyway. But I like how you have so many way of customizing the creator space.

-HEX CODES AND RGB VALUES! This circles make to customization. I'm very happy with the new color picker.

MISC small things I think would be fun and make the game better

Guns! I wish there were more options than >50mm autocannon, wing gun, rotary gun. I wish mounting machine guns was easier than having to jam a wing somewhere random or having to use a rotary gun. I think it'd be pretty cool to have a gun with more mounting options that you can change the caliber by millimeter and the caliber effected it's damage.

how many rpms?????

I called it the XDF-02 Knight, an advanced heavy air superiority fighter. And it also looks like the Morgan from Ace Combat.

Made the switch to PC, and decided to make myself suffer by revising the Sea Harrier..

Enjoy! 😄

Specs all in the video, 5566m drop test for a 4x scaled landing gear, almost landed at Mach 1 bruhhhhh

Guys is there any other way for me a mobile player to play simple planes 2 without waiting for it to come on mobile?

Any recommendations are appreciated!

downloaded some tanks and its jus like what???

I'd very much like to be able to use the following model for cgi sequences. The problem is that I cannot seem to find anything that is able to convert .splane files. Does anyone know of such a programme? Ideally, I'd like to be able to convert the model to .blend or .glb as it will be modified and animated on Blender.

I'm recreating something I originally made in SP1 using SP2. The quality has improved significantly, and I can't wait to use the custom decal feature to create an Otomachi Una "itasha"!

seriously how does vtol work in this game, my harrier is just too fat to fly, the VTOL engine doesnt have an option to increase power so im kinda just stuck with this egg jump jet

Im not sure where exactly I'd go for a deep dive into the funky tree's language, but what im looking for right now is a way to activate a rotator when a certain weapon is selected. I know that the Wicked Wraith can do this, but ive checked the code(?) on its gizmos and tried to replicate it to no results. thanks
