Early morning before sun-rise (light clips through the ground though...) Pretty picture none the less!

Pretty cool, pretty cool! I like how the fuselage fuses together behind the air-intakes, good job

Yes, >8 tonnes on the MiG-21 "Mongol". I agree, the weight on that reaches about 15 tonnes on my version (don't remember the exact wieght, and can't check it - KSP not installed ATM), that's more than the real one. However, on the MiG-21 "Fishbed" I'm pretty sure it stays below 10 tonnes (only 2 cockpits, 1 panther, the rest almost only empty fuel tanks and wings). The real MiG-21 fully loaded; around 10 tonnes. You can quite easily counter balance the front heaviness by adding the fuel at the furthest back fuel tank, and just adding a secondary set of elevators to the first set. MiG-15 UTI, yes, well above the empty weight (however, I'm not aiming for realistic empty weights...). It weighs around 10 tonnes in-game, IRL fully loaded 6 tonnes. It's not a problem though since it actually flies in KSP. Still, there's no reason to draw the conclusion that the planes I build are "cheated" using modified properties, even then you can simply download them and test them on your own. The planes fly perfectly fine (using FAR, which I state I am using in the post). Also, true, some aestethics solutions aren't the best, but they are solutions. The heavy part clipping is just my style of building. Personally I'm not that good of a builder so that I can make "realistic looking" planes without lots of part clipping, and sure, there's always improvements to be made to every plane. There's almost never a final version. Again, I'm just going for a plane that looks nice, flies well and maneuvers somewhat realistically. I try to keep the weight realistic as well as far as I can without seriously affecting the look, but it's not always possible. Funny how you pick the exact plane which obviously are over weight, without even mentioning the other planes that actually are in the realistic weight range. I just share what I'm happy with, if you don't like it - well, you can always build your own, huh?

Thank you! My first planes were extremely ugly, and were often just based on my imagination. One day I simply decided to create a copy of a real life plane, although it was very simple without details I just began recreating real planes one after another. That way I learned what methods worked well and how parts could be utilized to "simulate" a detail of the real plane. Eventually you realize that if you scale up your builds you can fit a lot more details - which is the stage I've recently entered. Scaling up your builds also gives you flexibility in the sense that proportions can be adjusted a lot better, and more details and parts can fit. That's one of the reasons for why my planes are larger compared to other recreations, and why I can add more details.

Yes, I use FAR. On the stock planes, nothing else is modified. They are 100% stock (except that I build them with enabled FAR). They aren't much heavier than their real-life counterparts. They always fit inside the frame of "maximum take-off weight". If I use a fuel tank, I simply remove the fuel from it. Only need maybe 200 units of fuel for a 20 min flight time. The wings are often only one layer of wings, no wings are necessarily clipped into the plane or into each other to provide additional lift. I mostly clip things for aesthetic reasons. I don't know where you got the assumption that they need additional modifications etc.? The only mod I use for most of them is FAR, which doesn't change the actual part properties. Most of the planes reach part counts of over 100 parts, but if those parts are just empty fuel tanks and the likes they will not weigh much.

Interesting! Is there a video of it in action? Would love to see that!

Newest Addition: Saab JAS 39E Gripen The newest version of the Saab 39 Gripen. It was announced 2016, and will eventually replace the older versions. It is larger than the old Gripen and can carry more weaponry, better aeronautics and better electronic systems. A true cornerstone of the Swedish Air Force! It can be found in the Swedish Planes folder

Nice! I think you should build the Textron AirLand Scorpion, it looks pretty cool!

Thank you Majorjim! I try to use many details with mostly stock parts when it works. Sometimes mods are needed but oh well, I try to keep 'em down

All guesses are right! The MiG-23 can be identified more specifically because of its round nose, instead of the MiG-27's downwards "square" nose. Newest Addition: Saab 2000 Erieye A part of the Swedish airborne early warning system. The Erieye radar system is carried on the upper part of the fuselage of the turboprop Saab 2000, which gives the air-force capabilities of detecting incoming flights up to several hundred kilometers away. It's easily flown along, parallel to the coast line, which gives a broad view over the Baltic sea. The plane can be found in the new folder Swedish Planes Download: https://www.dropbox.com/s/185zb2tghr6ablw/Saab 2000 Erieye.craft?dl=0

Newest Addition: MiG-15 UTI "Midget" The two-seat trainer version of the MiG-15! This version has 2 external fuel tanks. The plane can be found in the Russian/Soviet Planes folder

Newest addition: Horten Ho 229 V3 An experimental NSDAP-German jet bomber/fighter. It never left the prototype stage as the allied captured the factories before it could be fully produced as the "Gotha Go 229". The plane can be found in the new folder German/NSDAP-German planes! Edit: Unfortunately the historically known word for "National Socialist German Workers' Party" can't be used on the forum. This was the ruling party of Germany during the Second World War. I will therefor use the shortening " NSDAP ".

Pretty awesome! I like how the kerbal head is to scale with the aircraft Looks like a human head peaking out from the cockpit. Really good job!

Wow I've been looking for something like this for so long. Thank you, very much!

That is... AWESOME! I'd recommend using ore tank filled with ore to increase the density. I always use them on my ugly ass sub marines.

Newest Addition: MiG-21UM "Mongol B" The newer two-seat trainer version of the MiG-21! It can be found in the Russian/Soviet plane folder

Nice MiG-21! It's one of my favorite planes

MajavE's Replicas (Newest Addition: Gloster Meteor F.8) Hello! I'm MajavE and I like building planes YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPG4MpRbcQUP9tApXrZjwlA I always use the FAR mod, so my planes are built to work in FAR. However, I try to keep the actual plane as stock as possible, and I will list the mods with the plane pictures if any are used in the plane. Basically, FAR is a must if you want to fly the planes like I intended them to be flown. DOWNLOAD MY PLANES FROM MY DROPBOX!: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/4983q7iqa9fa7u2/AADo6_DjQNedYr6wCggpHcqBa?dl=0 Also, before you fly, always remember to check the action groups. I always use action groups for different purposes in the aircraft and most of the planes will not work properly if staging is used. Have fun!

Nice! If you want to take some cool screenshots, you can hold the ALT key and scroll, this will change the field of view (temporarily) which drastically improves the effect. Good luck

Awesome! I love the planes Good job!

Cool! It reminds me more of the Venom because of the wing shape and drop tanks

Here's a F-15 I built yesterday Here's a time lapse building the plane:

I made a demonstration of the jet sounds yesterday, but couldn't upload until today. You beat me to it, but I'll leave mine here as well

I have KSP 1.1.2 installed, and even though this is made for 1.1.3 it works like a charm! Really, REALLY, good mod. I've been looking for jet engine sounds for a long time, and this is it! Good job and good luck with modding

Here's my Polish MiG-21bis Here's an album with more cool pictures featuring it in an exercise bombing run: http://imgur.com/gallery/cDfZu Mods: BDArmory for the weaponry, Flag Decals for the Polish roundel (download: https://mods.curse.com/ksp-mods/kerbal/222813-flag-decals-v2-3 ) Download the plane: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/c6vlzhamed2u3cy/AABRBv6lOZocz8ohUmdXc0mHa?dl=0
