  1. I'm gonna install this mod tomorrow to try it out but is there a KSC or an airstrip in Britain? I wanna tour Scotland!
  2. Ah, the hunter. I had a nice Supermarine Swift - its contemporary - back in .24.2 but that went with the new save :/
  3. You might have to wait, he's finishing up a TBF-Avenger cockpit then he's doing a Spitfire IX.
  4. Woah, what did I say in the OP eh? - - - Updated - - - Those are amazing NathanKell!
  5. No, but in PWings 0.9 there is a wing that has a laminar flow cross section
  6. I had a chat with him and he said not to expect anything until the Christmas holidays.
  7. Looks cool, but what I really like is how well you've crafted the lines!
  8. I'll need to rebuild my old Spitfire....this is gonna take a while, do you mind if I use PWings and Porcedural Parts?
  9. I love my Firespitter, I love my Retro-Future, but making WWII aircraft in KSP is just too hard. The end result is rarely good and you can never get the fuselage shape right. I know the likes of NathanKell are skilled enough to make good replicas and make them look faithful, but think about the newbies, who could be WWII fighter enthusiasts, and don't know how to make their replicas look good. If you look at planes like the fan-favourites Spitfire and Mustang, to name a couple, don't have perfectly circular fuselages, or rectangular, or oblong, they are ovular. Look at this three-way diagram of a Spit' - Here you can notice many things, such as that the empennage doesn't taper to a point at the tip but retains its depth which then extends into the tail fin on which the rudder is placed. The aforementioned ovular fuselage is also shown here. And one final thing, and this goes for most aircraft, be it WWI, WWII, Cold War, Modern, Civillian, etc. The wing, in-game wings have no curve and it can be very hard to make a, say, Spitfire-style elliptical wing (as shown above) or a general rounded wing. Also, cockpit canopies can be incredibly varied from the sleek Concorde canopy/windscreen - To the clunky Messerschmitt Bf-109 style (there is actually a mod with two 109 cockpits -http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/94142-Stryker-s-Aerospace-Restored-Cockpits-Corporation) - To the heavily framed B-58 Hustler's cockpit - To the clean, sleek allied bubble canopy (spitfire, mustang, p-47, typhoon, tempest) Very few mods have cockpits that look like the ones found on real planes, Retro-Future or Firespitter or Stryker's Restored Cockpits to name a few that do. Back To My Little Request Anyways, what my request is, is a mod which focuses on making WWII plane-replicas easily and simply. Perhaps making matching part sets for particular planes or maybe just a general set of parts that can be chucked together in various different ways, etc. I myself try to make decent WWII planes in-game but just trying and trying over and over gets boring after a while and anyone who shares my problem would agree that is is a mod we need to see at some point. Thanks for reading. Regards, MDS -=UPDATE=- WINGS! In-game wings are completely flat, IRL wings have round cross sections which allows the air to flow over more smoothly.
  10. Well seeing as we now have the crimson pig fighter, we need guns..... Onwards to BDARMOURY!
  11. Uh oh I smell a dead thread...... Smells..., spitfire-y - - - Updated - - - This has no plugins in it so it will work fine
  12. I see what you mean but only an EARLY 109, but a true big failure was the MiG-3 lol!
  13. Hold on a sec, why do you like the LaGG-3 so much? You do realise that is was a massive failure, right? I would look to the much better La-5 or La-7.
  14. Hullo, how's the spitfire coming along. Take all the time you need however.
  15. Yeah, yeah, yeah, those new guns look nice but HOLY FRICKIN' FRICK! That cockpit literary has my jaw on the floor. The integrated guns look lovely jubely and the transparent canopy looks sweet too. I think I need to see the IVA first before I die of amazement.
  16. This is honestly the third request I've made for something like this TODAY but could you try to make a manned Frazer-Nash or Boulton Paul Aircraft turret like this - (perhaps with an iva too ....) AND Make it radially attached. Then my world would be complete :3
