The new procedural wings makes it super easy to make planes, very excited to see what comes of it! ^{also first post}

updated SU-57, way more accurate

Oooooohhhhhhh PURDY... DO MOAR PLEASE.

It's barely been 24 hours and you already mastered the mechanics enough to make rellicas?! 

My gosh. Slow down! 

[CometAurora]

i updated the F-16! i think it's much better than the old one, it was the first one i made so i was still learning the ropes but if you are interested in the old one the download link is here and picture here

Realy good!

Do they also work? Because I found just making a basic plane flyable was pretty dang hard, compared to a simple rocket!

yeah they all fly, most of them just have a large turning radius, realistic plane proportions don't make a very good KSP plane haha

According to this chart, flying at ~300m/s and pulling a constant 9Gs should give you a turn radius of ~1,000 ft (305m) at 4,572m ASL (IRL). I'm curious to see how your F-16 compares to the real thing!

The KSP 2 Aerodynamic System seems to be a tad bugged atm. That could be the issue atm

Yeah, I made a plane that has a COL right near the COM and it has no maneuverability at all.

Nice work.

Yes. Because current drag raise to much when high AoA. Thats why airplanes try to turn 180 and fly backwards.

Hope for Improvement in Drag and Lift curve based on Angle of attack. When close to critical AoA your lift will drastically reduce to 0, but drag curve will be different.

Or hope for FAR
