More plane tips: 1) Try to use bigger windows (3x3 instead 1x1)so your cockpit looks a lot better. 2) Slopes everywhere. This plane will look a lot better if you use slopes for air intakes and vertical stabilizer. 3) Landing gear using only rotors, not tracks. Tracks deplete your battery so fast. 4) Do not use jet afterburners (only for design). Afterburner eats a lot fuel and it is useless. 5) Less straight lines. Your plane will look a lot better with lots of shapes. 6) Perfect size cockpit. Make your cockpit the smallest size you can for comfort use. Too big cockpit doesn't look good. 7) Try to use VTOL, STOL and STOVL on your planes. Including latest technologies increases your building abilities and your plane becomes a lot better when it takes off and lands vertically. 8) Stability. Use more control surfaces and fin rudders. Plane should fly where you want it to fly, but not where it wants. 9) Displays and instrumental panels. They make your plane a lot better to control and the cockpit looks amazing. 10) Microprocessors. Use them for all logic on the plane except solo elements. They make your plane a lot less complicated and a lot more optimised. 11) Composites. Use them as much as you can. They are very useful. Make plane less complicated and optimised. 12) Try to make landing assist system for easier landing. First step: Make automatic spoilers which open when the plane touches the ground. This way you gonna land safe. Second step... In your mind... Thanks for video, Frantic! =)
@@FranticMatty I have no time. Making automatic aircraft carrier landing system, Control combiner and a few interceptors JF14-a, JF14-b, JF16-a (WIP). So you should=)
Really good tips, enjoyed the video. I have had the game for a time now. Really good that u talked about the thing that they don’t glide I didn’t know that when I started to play the game ( I understood it after a time because it’s really hard to test a plane otherwise ) so I think it would be good help for some new at the game. Really good video keep up the good work!
selling fuel with planes is a bad idea because you can't carry that much tankers are way better if you are talking about the amount of fuel it can carry and money you can earn
selling feul using aircraft is way faster if your plane fast as well, but it will be super heavy depend on how much feul your carry.You using fluid spawner or fluid tank? fluid tank is best to use but the fluid spawner will make your plane heavy. Other way, try test your plane on creative mod and and add some upgrade to your plane and save it as upgrade . try it :)
@@F2NW Also Fuel-carrying hydroplanes are not the best idea. Fuel-carrying plane should be classic or VTOL. But for VTOL you need Jet engines. Otherwise classic plane may use diesel engines. I have an idea to build a floating runway on the fuel refinery to land planes on it to buy fuel. Is I said. You can carry 80k with 2 aircraft engines =)
I had a question a bit, where the center of mass should be? on the middle , front or back?, when making boat , land vehicles and plane. each vehicles had where the center should be. 1 more things... I had a problem using track on vehicles, the track making my vehicles shaking and unstable while moving, is not glitch, i'm using real tank shape on my vehicles. help pls
Usually in the middle, although, in this game it doesnt really matter too much. the tracks are a bit buggy to be honest, if there is something rubbing on them etc, they'll fly around :S
I’ve made a couple planes, all of them I use as many wing pieces to build the structure as possible, and they can glide for a little while. For example here is my first plane, which has this: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1822378482

I feel like I missed out alot hahahaha, these are some noice tips :D
@@FranticMatty Make Plane tips #2 With all things I said pls =)
@@enotinc.3345 You should make a video for it :P

@@enotinc.3345 Thanks! :D
One tip I found ^~^"
Make the heaters on the "intakes" light up when the engine is turned on
Yeeee
YAAAY tips! Thank you!
That planes looks beautiful ! I like the color tho

Thanks buddy! I feel like there are a few more things I coulda put in the video :P
I use your wing design tip for ship hulls too, I think picked up from some of your other videos... Probably rogue mode *hint*
Noice :D
Thanks
Frantic can you start doing tips for stormworks e.g Boat hull ,bridges
Suree
Well my plane went into the ocean beacuse it got to heavy when i filled it whit fuel to sell

@@lazypants9145 Plane with 2 aircraft engines is able to carry 70k litres of fuel. Is it not enough?

Wait, but if nothing glides with no power, is it impossible to make a glider?
can you plss tell if you might do the parachute challenge i suggested in yesterdays video in which you jump from a helicopter and land on ships
We'll see, if I get some people into multiplayer we might do it :D
Do you talk to people on discord??
I would like to know about wing thickness in the next tip video.
You are close to 33333 subs lol
Over that now :D
When is your next stream
Not sure, they're pretty random
i would also add ask for feedback and take critism not as bad critism but as constructive critism
True, its a good tip ;)
Worst i turn on alarm and go to sleep ,guess what happend alarm don't wake me up.
Oh frantic would you like to fly 1:1 B-36 Peacemaker
Sure :)
Hi
Elloo
Five comments three comments, yt doesn't make any sense sometimes :
Weeew
I’ve made a couple planes, all of them I use as many wing pieces to build the structure as possible, and they can glide for a little while. For example here is my first plane, which has this: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1822378482
Looks pretty good ;)
ur planes be rough
Oof
