FlipNascar Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Does this remind anyone about anything?http://i.imgur.com/yBKsjzM.pngI call my version... Clicky Clicky Boom Boom! I'm still having trouble trying to smooth out the back end like the actual thing, and want to keep it stock. Any suggestions?You could try the radiator panels because of their natural curvature and then you can probably emulate that boat-like back end that Chitty has. Also props for the replica.

KristopherKerblumbus Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 You guys get so creative with designs--I would never think of using the elevons for structural uses like that. Where do you come up with such awesome inspiration? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Columbia Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 YES!!Now to work on better maneuverability (thing handles like a brick) and a way to.. land. And better TWR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Columbia Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Cool Thanks!Wait... But... No wings, no helium/hydrogen, just engines... How? Did I see that correctly?Dang dude, how do you keep that thing airborne?A lot of Wheesleys, clipped in three pods.. about.. 64 of them in the vertical assembly alone. It's basically a huge VTOL. With no wings.. and powered by a crap ton of engines.. Here are more photos!I may or may have not deployed an armed car at the side of KSC and started shooting the airship with it. A UFO just happened to crash in it. I swear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pTrevTrevs Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 I am glad to announce that the U-Boat is complete. I'm testing it right now, and I should be able to release it shortly.Main Control Room, looking aft.Fore Torpedo Room, with spare torpedoes.Diesel Engine Room, looking forward.I can say with reasonable certainty that this U-Boat is accurate, all interior compartments have been based on interior views in Silent Hunter 5. The only thing that isn't quite right is the Conning Tower, I may redo it later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pTrevTrevs Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Awesome! Does it dive as well?Well... I can't make it dive, but I am experiencing this weird problem that occurs every time I launch the boat from one of the KerbinSide water launch sites. I assume it's a bug. It loads the vessel a few meters above the water, like it normally does, but when physics loads, the boat teleports down to the bottom of the sea and the upper deck explodes. the main hull and most of the interior survives, but the deck nearly gets torn off. I have taken some screenshots of the boat from land, and I think i can release it for download if people want, but if this problem persits, I'm going to have to work on it some more.Didn't you mention something about making a ballast tank mod? Please do, it would be so helpful for us submariners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noname117 Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Got a new orbiter prototype being worked on. I hope to have it refined to the point of doing orbital missions by the end of this week. Also thinking about doing something similar to ZooNamedGames' request for shuttle missions with this orbiter and another couple models.

But.. what do you mean by a stadium weed and hooligan cleaner?..I think I just killed off the little resemblance that this aircraft had with the Me 262.

Azimech Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 All those jet engines pointing downwards ... can't be healthy to be standing underneath them ;-)And since blimps are usually seen at sport stadiums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharkman Briton Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Sopwith Camel, Britains most famous aircraft!The reason it has twin Brownings instead of twin Vickers is because the Vickers in BDA are way too big for the aircraft, it's WIP in the fact that I haven't flown it yet.My proudest part of it, though, is the tail, where it looks like the Camel's tail exactly! The structure of it, not the wings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
