It is now updated correctly. Only took Steam 10 hours! :)
Mean Green  [author] 25 Jan, 2023 @ 8:01pm 
Update still not working, no idea why. Everything updates except the actual vehicle. *sigh*
Mean Green  [author] 25 Jan, 2023 @ 4:25pm 
Trying to upload the updated version but it's not working right now. Thumbnail and description has updated but not the actual plane. This has been an issue before and it usually just takes a while for Steam to wake up. Will check later and see.

ok
Mean Green  [author] 28 Dec, 2022 @ 3:45am 
I can put it on my list but just so you know there's already over 40 planes on the list by now, so no telling when I'll get to it. It's a cool plane though.

can you make the douglas skyraider

Few people seem to know if Israel actually got any Avia S-92, but there apprently are rumours and some indiciations pointing to it but nothing official. :)

The G4M is on my list both as a regular bomber but also so I can attach the ohka suicide bomb to it. I won't go back to building anything until the 1.3 version of the game is officially released though since I already have to redo all my older planes yet again to work properly in that version. SO no idea when I'll get to it I'm afraid.

i'm just really interested in Japan's bombers especially the D3A1
Pz.kpfw.VI.B (Terra Blade) 23 Dec, 2022 @ 2:53pm 
hey erm so just a question will you do Japanese medium bombers? like the G4M or Ki-21 no rush just would love to see it since there are none that fly well also good job on your planes didn't know israel had Me262s

Just a note: I sometimes receive Friend requests here on Steam, I'm uessing from BrichRigs players, so I just want to say that I never accept friend requests from people I don't know IRl for various reasons, so if I have ignored your request please don't take it personally in any way - it's not you, it's me. :)
Mean Green  [author] 17 Dec, 2022 @ 5:03pm 
Those that want more damage done to planes not made of foam will be happy to know that both machine gun types now do a LOT more damage to an oak plane than before. Almost too much since almost any hit will blow off a piece or three, and it seems easier to blow up the fuel tanks too. So hopefully dog fighting will work better in 1.3 since I know even the foam versions of my planes in 1.1.2 were difficult to do any real damage to without cannons.
Mean Green  [author] 16 Dec, 2022 @ 1:23pm 
One positive fix is that he "wheel drifting" seems t be gone, as in when a wheel was attached to an actuator (like most of my landing gears) and especially the rear wheel tended to spin even thoug you weren't moving, making the whole plane spin around on the spot, especially in MP. Like my Flying Fortress, it was very bad on that.
It was so bad I had to make the rear wheel on my Mosquitos fixed, but I just tested to make it retractable and now wheel drifting, so yay.
Mean Green  [author] 16 Dec, 2022 @ 1:12pm 
I won't start re-tweaking my planes until 1.3 is officially release as I stated below, but sadly it seems that the current aeordunamics in the beta is what will stay. While it definitely is a lot better and less extreme in several ways, the very significant speed loss from using control surfaces is apparently here to stay, so dog fighting in ww2 and ww1 planes will continue to be rather lackluster since the planes will just stall after a few teurns and rolls.
Definitely better than before but very far from perfect. I'm sure a lot of things will be tweaked before release though so I'll wait to change anything until we know for sure how it will be once 1.3 is released.
Mean Green  [author] 16 Dec, 2022 @ 8:06am 
Sadly, based on an answer by Fluppi the developer to a post I wrote in Discord about the new aerodynamics, it seems the extreme drag/speed loss that ocurrs when using any control surfaces won't ever be fixed since it's completely tied to the amount of lift/control effect you get.
This basically means that you will never be able to do dog-fighting manoeuvres for more than 8-10 seconds before your plane falls out of the sky.
So sad news... 🙄
Mean Green  [author] 14 Dec, 2022 @ 1:20pm 
Just for reference:
- A single engine fighter usually takes me 15-25 hours to build, with an extra 1-4 hours per variant depending on how much they differ.
- A twin engine fighter/bomber usually takes 20-30 hours to build, and every variant adds an extra 1-4 hours
- A 4 engine bomber usually takes 30-50 hours depending on the complexity level (the retractable ball turret alone on my B-24 Liberator took about 10-12 h of testing and fidgeting to get to work ok), with variants taking anywhere from 1 hour to 10 hours (like the Dambuste Lancaster with the bouncing bomb).
- Add another 1-5 hours of searching info online, 3-way plans, colour schemes, weapon differences between variants etc. for each plane and sometimes for each variant.

So it's very nice to get some positive feedback considering the time I've sank into my planes, so thank you for that. :)
Mean Green  [author] 14 Dec, 2022 @ 1:01pm 
Ah just saw that the SM.79 is on there twice, DOH! So one less than listed. :D

Just FYI this is my current list (hopefully complete) of planes I want to build someday. I don't build them in any particular order so any plane might be the next one I get to, but that will probably not be before the public release of version 1.3 since aerodynamics are being changed again, hopefully for the better this time.
So feel free to suggest more planes, but please do realise it might be a while or three before I get to it.
Thanks for all the support. :)

I can put it on my list. However the list is quite long now so no telling if or when I get to making it. I also tend not to build planes that were only concpets or prototypes but it's a cool plane for sure so maybe I'll make an exception. ;)
And thank you for the kind words, I'm glad you like my builds. :)
jb 14 Dec, 2022 @ 12:20pm 
Hello again Mean Green I noticed you built this Me262 related S-92 I was wondering if you can do the Kika which was a Japanese jet plane heavily inspired by the Me-262. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/61/Kikka_Orange_Blossom_Kikka-10.jpg

Anyways Thank you for being such a nice and wonderful creator!
Mean Green  [author] 14 Dec, 2022 @ 11:33am 
No worries, no point in building them if they don't work. 😁
SturmTRUPP 14 Dec, 2022 @ 11:00am 
thanks keep trying to make the planes better
Mean Green  [author] 14 Dec, 2022 @ 10:23am 
I've increased engine power on the Stuka dive bomber quite a bit now. Empty top speed is of course too high but that's a decent trade off to make it work better at what it's supposed to do. It should be easier to climb to the neede elevations now. :)
Mean Green  [author] 14 Dec, 2022 @ 9:58am 
As long as the torpedo drops cleanly (the detonators can sometimes send them off in various directions just like they sometimes do with missiles and bombs) they tend to work ok, and as long as they hit they definitely do some damage. :)
Yeah I couldn't get the Stuka to work too well in the 1.2 aerodynamics, but I may increase engine power a bit more bc I've also expereinced it being a bit too sluggish with the bombs attached. I'm trying to keep empty top speed to about what the real thing had but in 1.2 it's hard since the weight and drag of external bombs is SO significant, so I might ahve to increase top speed a fair bit past the real thing to get it to fly ok with bombs.
SturmTRUPP 14 Dec, 2022 @ 9:39am 
your planes fly great but some like the stuka have weight issues if fluppi makes some changes to the physics i'm sure it will work well. I also noticed that the torpedos work really well and can easily sink ships
Mean Green  [author] 14 Dec, 2022 @ 9:30am 
A note on the 1.3 Beta out now: My planes fly ok-ish with the changes to aerodynamics. Less drag means they'll be about 40-50% too powerful/fast, and the reduction in lift on aerodynamic pieces means some are harder to control and some have trouble getting off the ground (like the Piper Cub) but most work ok-ish. Once the full 1.3 is released I will of course, once again, re-tweak all of my planes to work as well as possible in the new version. It might take a while but I will do it. I will NOT however start making any changes until 1.3 is officially released since a lot can change bwteeen beta and realease, just like it did in 1.2.
Mean Green  [author] 14 Dec, 2022 @ 9:25am 
Gibraltar, thanks for the offer but I think with the new 1.3 version coming soon-ish I'll need to remake all the planes AGAIN since there are some major changes/improvements (hopefully) to the aerodynamics and I'll most likely add some screenshots for the new versions once they're done. :)
Mean Green  [author] 14 Dec, 2022 @ 9:22am 
I know it can be a bit confusing since my Steam nick is not Uncle T, but Mean Green = Uncle T. 😁
Mean Green  [author] 14 Dec, 2022 @ 9:18am 
I am Uncle T. I just called my things "by Uncle T" in the beginning to make it easier for my nephew to find the stuff I made for him and I kept doing it. :)
SturmTRUPP 14 Dec, 2022 @ 8:52am 
does uncle t make this stuff and you update it or do you make them your self and say its by uncle t
Mean Green  [author] 14 Dec, 2022 @ 8:41am 
Thanks! Just a simple re-skin but... :)
SturmTRUPP 14 Dec, 2022 @ 8:25am 
great to see your better and making things :) :)
burry 13 Dec, 2022 @ 6:51am 
You got that right. And, this seems like a weird ‘question’, but if you want, I could take screenshots for your builds. I really only get on BR for screenshots now, lol
Mean Green  [author] 12 Dec, 2022 @ 8:24am 
Yeah some serious changes in the net-code must be made, seemingle from the bottom up. As it is now it's nearly unplayable at times, and things behave SO differently compared to in single player with good framrate. I really hope the developer can fix it, but I'm starting to have doubts since the problems seem to exist at the core of the game. But as I said, fingers crossed because it has so mucg potential to be such an awesome game.
burry 12 Dec, 2022 @ 6:49am 
I hear you with the multiplayer. I gifted BR to my friend so we could play together and at sometimes the physics just completely broke and it was unplayable. I’m honestly kind of baffled that the physics got worse from legacy.
Mean Green  [author] 11 Dec, 2022 @ 7:50pm 
Sadly the game has a LOT of potential to be awesome but it is being held back by some severe issues at seemingly the foundational level (like physics being extremely dependent on frame rate, the extreme de-syng and weird physics in MP etc.) and I'm starting to wonder if Fluppi can ever fix all these game-breaking bugs and issues. I really hope he does because this game would be super fun if it actually worked as intended. As it stands now it's mostly annoying to try to play MP, even when it's just me and my nephew on the server the lag and de-sync is ridiculous and the physics behaviour is plain awful. But fingers crossed... :)
burry 11 Dec, 2022 @ 1:08pm 
Ah, that makes sense. And I do have to agree with you on the physics changes being pretty bad, lol.
Mean Green  [author] 11 Dec, 2022 @ 11:39am 
And it also has a bit to do with the fact that I'm not that happy with BR at the moment with multiplayer being frankly a joke with broken physics and de-sync and all that, physics that change DRASTICALLY depending on framerate even in single player (yup it's a thing - the physics in the game is tied to framrate and game speed! 🙄), aerodynamics that are just plain broken, so I I guess I don't feel like spending extra time and energy on anything in the game right now.
Mean Green  [author] 11 Dec, 2022 @ 11:34am 
I guess in my experience nice screenshots often tell you little about how the thing actually handles or flies or works in the actual game and you really need to DL anything and try it out anyway to know if it's what you're looking for.
Might just be a bad excuse bc I'm lazy though. 😁
Mean Green  [author] 11 Dec, 2022 @ 11:28am 
I have done for some of my stuff but often I can't be bothered tbh. This one was just a quick edit of an older model so couldn't be asked, and the thumbnail usually shows it off decently enough. :)
burry 11 Dec, 2022 @ 11:10am 
Who wouldn’t, this is one of the best Me-262’s I’ve seen on here! But, quick question: Why do you not put extra screenshots showcasing the plane?
Mean Green  [author] 11 Dec, 2022 @ 8:35am 
Glad you like it! :)
burry 11 Dec, 2022 @ 8:08am 
Absolutely love it!
Mean Green  [author] 7 Dec, 2022 @ 3:31pm 
They are on my very long list of planes to build some day. Hopefully. Not really building in Brick Rigs ATM for varioous reasons so it might take a while for me to get to them though. Sorry.
Dogfrogpog 7 Dec, 2022 @ 3:22pm 
I have a suggestion, could you make a Hawker Typhoon? or maybe a Hawker Tempest?
