Thanks for over 1,000 subs boys and girls. :)

I've built and tested it (and it takes off ok-ish most of the time) on my rig which gives me 144 fps so if your fps is other than the game physics will work differentrly for you.
This in combination with the game's long-standing issue with planes that when they have only two wheels on the ground it makes them veer off for some reason, a reason it seems even Fluppi himself doesn't understand, so there's little I can do about it I'm afraid.
My only advise is to give full pitch up once you reach 70-80 kph and keep the rear wheel on the ground and parry with A and D until you take off. This is the only thing I've found that helps with the planes behaving like this.
I'm sorry but there's not much else I can do since the issue is with the in-game physics. :/

everytime i want to take of the runway the plane keeps on going left instead of forward

i think fluppi fixed the bomb exploding exploding when you release them i checked your b 17 and it can drop bombs just fine

The "flopping like a fish on land" issue seems to have been caused by the forward struts on the landing gear causing clipping issues. I've made it fold into the main gear instead of forward and it seems to have fixed the issue in the testing I've done, but please report if the issue still occurrs so I can remove them completely if need be.

Haha I am Swedish but the Vasa is a bit of an undertaking and not one I'm feeling like taking on TBH. It would be very cool if someone built it in the game but it's not going to be me I'm afraid. :)

Ur Swedish right? Maybe make an old warship from the 1600s from Sweden? I know how you're taking a break for planes, so thats probably a good suggestion.
Mean Green  [author] 16 Apr, 2023 @ 3:57pm 
As I've stated in other places I spent over 2,000 hours building and re-building and tweaking and re-tweaking planes in BR last year and I'm a bit burned out now, especially since aerodynamics in the game has got progressivley worse with each update and Fluppi seems happy with the current state of it which IMO is the worst yet, at least for planes like mine. This and other annoying crap in the game (like a totally crappy MP experience, a Workshop that barely seems to work anymore, bombs exploding in internal bamb bays, slow prop planes barely able to take off and defintely not able to go straight on the ground (STILL!!!!) etc etc) combined with real life crap makes me feel very little motivation to spend time building planes that barely work in the current aero that the creator just doesn't seem to care about fixing.
I might return to building planes someday but not right now.

hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh uncle t were have you been you havent made anything i a long time and you used to make like every day
Mean Green  [author] 15 Apr, 2023 @ 2:25pm 
As I write below I'm currently taking a break from building planes in BR for several reasons but I can put them on my list. No telling when or even if I'll get to them though, it might be faster if you start building and build them yourself. 😉
VIPER 15 Apr, 2023 @ 12:36pm 
I dont mean to be needy or anyhting, but could you make a d3a1, and a p1y1.
Mean Green  [author] 12 Apr, 2023 @ 2:10am 
I'm currently taking an extended break from building planes in BR since the 11.4 update seems to make a lot of the unusable (e.g. interior bomb bays don't work anymore), but I can put the PBM on my list. Please be aware though that I currently have well over 70 planes already on my list so no telling if or when I get to it.
0NESHOTZXS 11 Apr, 2023 @ 10:22am 
make the thicc PBM
The Duke of Wellington 1 Apr, 2023 @ 5:20am 
uhh nevermind
The Duke of Wellington 1 Apr, 2023 @ 5:19am 
oh i reasd the whole thing
The Duke of Wellington 1 Apr, 2023 @ 5:19am 
all im asking is to make them a bit lighter
Mean Green  [author] 31 Mar, 2023 @ 4:25pm 
And if you think the 1.2 versions of my planes "work fine" in 1.3 we clearly have very different opinions on what "work fine" means.
Mean Green  [author] 31 Mar, 2023 @ 4:13pm 
They work ok for me. I'm not going to edit my 1.3 planes since they work as well as they can and behave as realistically as I can make them behave (in flight) in the utterly broken aerodynamics in 1.3 without giving super powerful engines and twice the real top speed.
If you're not happy with how they behave blame Fluppi. Or tweak them yourself to your heart's content. Or build you own better planes. I'm done with this broken crapheap of a game right now.
The Duke of Wellington 31 Mar, 2023 @ 12:55pm 
Hey, can ya make your 1.3 stuff actually able to take off? Its always too heavy to lift off. I use the 1.2 and stuff planes work just fine in 1.3.

thanks

People be idiots sometimes. 🙄
Feel free to refer him to me if he persists.
PilotKyle1 25 Mar, 2023 @ 5:54pm 
guy said i didnt change it one bit
PilotKyle1 25 Mar, 2023 @ 5:41pm 
Someone got my F model one marked incompatible
SturmTRUPP 24 Mar, 2023 @ 3:02pm 
ok
Mean Green  [author] 23 Mar, 2023 @ 8:43pm 
I'm currently not building anything (at least not planes) for BR for various reasons (one of them being sick of the broken state of the game and the even more broken state of the 1.4 Experimental) so no He -111 right now.
SturmTRUPP 23 Mar, 2023 @ 6:07pm 
plz
SturmTRUPP 23 Mar, 2023 @ 6:07pm 
can you add the HE-111
Mean Green  [author] 21 Mar, 2023 @ 3:25pm 
Ah sorry, not familiar with every famous B-17 I'm afraid, and several people have requested the Sopwith Pup.
As I've said before feel free to make your own versions.
PilotKyle1 21 Mar, 2023 @ 2:38pm 
ima upload a ye olde pub one
PilotKyle1 21 Mar, 2023 @ 1:45pm 
i think the guy who said ye olde pup meant ye olde pub
Mean Green  [author] 20 Mar, 2023 @ 12:39pm 
I'm sorry if I'm coming off as less than enthusiastic right now but some very real IRL stuff combined with the dung heap that is 1.4 are really putting me off this game right now.
But at least we still have an absolutely broken MP and a FIRE EXTINGUISHER!!!
Mean Green  [author] 20 Mar, 2023 @ 12:38pm 
I've seen it, it's very nice.
As for buildin a Pup or any other plane I'm holding off on that ATM since the aerodynamics and crumbling physics in 1.4 is so bad there's no point in building plane like mine anymore. I'll wait and see what changes if any are made before it releases, but if it satays even remotely like it is now this game is dead for me in regards to building propeller planes.
Aero in 1.2 was over the top but reaonably manageable, in 1.3 it was ruined for slower weaker planes and in 1.4, despite a lot of protests against the lack of lift and control surface input at lower speeds, it seems Fluppi is determined to push those issues even firther from fixing them and making them a lot worse. The fact that bombs can't be dropped fron internal bomb bays without blowing up on release doesn't really help either. This update so far is a disaster IMO.
memers 19 Mar, 2023 @ 11:39pm 
hey could you do ye old pup
PilotKyle1 19 Mar, 2023 @ 4:36pm 
it is uploaded
Mean Green  [author] 19 Mar, 2023 @ 3:23pm 
Sure
PilotKyle1 19 Mar, 2023 @ 2:25pm 
ima upload a F model ver of this
tinath64 19 Mar, 2023 @ 6:40am 
at least it as better defences
tinath64 19 Mar, 2023 @ 6:40am 
oh
Mean Green  [author] 19 Mar, 2023 @ 3:18am 
I know Memphis Belle didn't have a chin turret, I knoe she had a different tail, I know she was an F version not a G version, read the description ffs!
tinath64 18 Mar, 2023 @ 8:07pm 
by the way the memphis belle did not have a chin turret
tinath64 18 Mar, 2023 @ 8:02pm 
nice lets goooooo
i got a 4k restored of the 1943 moovie that made about her
Mean Green  [author] 18 Mar, 2023 @ 5:53pm 
But feel free to edit it if you want. :)
Mean Green  [author] 18 Mar, 2023 @ 5:48pm 
The F version has two machine guns sticking out through the front nose cone and that looks bad and doesn't really work in the game. It also has a longer tail section which I can't be bothered to make right now, so it's this or nothing.
PilotKyle1 18 Mar, 2023 @ 4:03pm 
ya could have the movie memphis belle by just removing the chin turret

just sayin
