Yeah sadly the changes to aerodynamics in 1.3 ruined slow small planes being able to take off and even fly at a realistic speed. This plane's real stop speed was about 150 kph but at that speed any turn will basically make it fall out of the sky due to the extreme loss of speed turning causes in the game.
The "take-off booster" works ok but it's stupid that it's necessary to use a thing like that in the game. Sadly Fluppi seems to be happy with the state of aerodynamics and has stated as much so I doubt we will see a fix any time soon, or ever.

oh... ye youre right... it stopped functioning after 1.3?

Read the description! The aerodynamics for slow planes like this is absolutely broken in the game so I've had to use a boost to the engine to make it able to take off, and as it says in the description you need to press X during take-off for the plane to be able to leave the ground.
So please read the description.

doesn't take off, just spinning around the same place at speed around 15 kilometers per hour

Ok so this one has finally updated after 2 days and change and is now the same as the new upload, I'll let both stay uploaded so use either. :)

My Piper Cub also works well as a bush plane, especially the new version with the take-off boost. :)

Since this version is refusing to update I'll leave it for another few hours and if nothing has happened I'll upload the new version separately.
Again fuck BR and Steam Workshop for being so crap at basic stuff like this. 🙄
Mean Green  [author] 5 May, 2023 @ 5:24am 
So all the other versions have been correctly updated by Workshop (only took 12 hours) but this one hasn't for some reason. Trying to update it again.

Uploaded two civilian versions and a crop duster, but please let me know if you want something else for the bush plane. :)

I can definitely make a civilian bush plane with the passenger seat turned forward and no gun or bombs and in some non-military livery if that's what you're thinking.
Mean Green  [author] 4 May, 2023 @ 5:21pm 
Let me know what you had in mind and I'll see what I can do about it.
Mean Green  [author] 4 May, 2023 @ 5:11pm 
I can make a civilian version if you want. Or do you mean a military version with bombs/rockets but with desert camo and no soviet markings:)

the Po-2 would be an excellent bush plane, low top speed, able to takeoff in incredibly short distance, and tends to be a bit quieter if you want those stealth operations.

I would take the time to make it a bush plane if the workshop wasn't such a pain >:(

I have updated the plane with a fix so it can take off (read description) but once again the Workshop is ridiculously slow with pushing through the update vehicle even though the description has changed. Hopefully it will happen within a few hours.

Sorry it can't take off from the ground. The only way to possibly fix that is to increase the engine power by a lot and add an engine cut off like with the twin floats float plane variant but it's a solution I do not like very much. I can make a version like thatif people want it but I prefer to just spawn the plane mid air.

Finally! You made it! Thank you!
