WW2 Aircraft Replicas - Low part count FAR airplanes.

Recommended Posts

Here are some WW2 aircraft replicas made with the main purpose of showing off Aviator Arsenal's weapons when the mod updates.

I have seen many replicas of WW2 airplanes on KSP but most of the time they have too many parts, too many mods and/or no realism mods.

This is another reason why I made this pack, these can be considered "affordable hardcore replicas", a kind of replica I have hardly ever seen on KSP.

It does not mean that they are hard to fly at all, only that you should pilot them more like real propeller airplanes and less like disguised fighter jets.

They were built and balanced for FAR, and have stats close to their real life counterparts such as TWR, top speed, climb rate and weight.

I focused on making these airplanes with as few parts as possible, while still resembling their real life counterparts visually, so you can fly them without worrying about lag whatsoever.

You do not fly these airplanes as you would fly a non-AJE KAX airplane, be a bit more patient when climbing, diving and zooming is a good way to gain altitude, after that you are free to mess around.

After they pick up speed, your flight will be much more enjoyable, much more enjoyable than what stock aero can provide, and some of them can pull crazy stunts.

Another tip is to change the velocity indicator to km/h or some other more convenient measure through the FAR flight GUI, otherwise you will feel like everything is super slow.

Have fun!

*note: KerbalX is currently not detecting some AJE-KAX engines, because they require Procedural Parts to be installed, make sure you have the full mod pack and you will not have any issues*

*note2: The crafts also work without AJE, but you will have to adjust the engine connections and they may not fly optimally*

Mod list:

I highly recommend this modpack to anyone building any type of FAR aircraft.

Do you know any good cockpits mod that I could use? The ones I found are broken.

hayabusa and P-47 look great! Could you perchance try a Zero? I love Zeros.

I love zeros too, but I went to make one and it looks terrible with the current cockpit.

Do you know where I can find any better cockpit that works?

Edit: I also find them to look much better ingame than on any screenshot I take, hehe.

How did you do the colors? I thought Kerbpaint was dead

I used procedural parts.

Also, kerbpaint is not dead, but it does not work for newer parts, like the new Mk3 parts.

Works fine on the other ones, you can find an updated link on the last pages of the mod.

I don't use it though.
