    @Shadow_Clan1965 The B-25 Mod now has variable pitch, we could try and implement that on this mod and maybe edit it to have reverse pitch so it can have reverse thrusts.
    Do you mind if I try and make body panel and floats for this? Thanks
    (Also don't mind @alainmugica1 He is just a little too excited and doesn't know how to communicate very well.

    I'll check out the jbeam structure on the b-25, that was my main issue. It kept breaking.

    Absolutely, you go ahead and try to make those, if you have any questions you can ask me.
    (I try to be as understanding as possible, I understand the excitement though, its been a minutes since there's been a new plane, i got impatient and just made one)

    Are you planning to make it like a Piper? If yes then I suggest the PA-18: its got Aphibuis and Ski versions which is really cool, we can get most of the codes from other plane mods like the ski from the An-12 and Floats from Cessplane.
    Also I think you can have a look at the Strato HMX 920 mod for ideas on the details like panels and engine, maybe a banner too!

    Just in the last few weeks yes, I took quite the break I know, but I recently picked it back up, I optimized some mesh, re-did the tail wheel, its now stronger AND has a 3D model. I tweaked some other models and jbeam structure, added trim for pitch to account for any vertical wandering, added a few panels around the cockpit, they can tear off independent of the frame, added a basic chair just for looks (it cant fall out), and i added a VERY basic joystick in the cockpit, no gauges as of yet, still need to mess with animated props, i re-did part names and organization in the part selector, added a "license plate" slot for mods such as customizable engines, I am currently working on a more fleshed out engine, it has thermal simulation, and now has exhaust particles, i will soon make a small exhaust and custom sounds, but those make take a few weeks. That encapsulates what i've worked on and added recently, I should be able to upload an update within a week from now.

    And I have seen the floats mod, that dev reached out to me for permission and any input, im happy to see the community making mods for this plane. If you have any further/clarifying questions feel free to ask.

    ...I'm intrigued :D. I don't know of a good way to mount something and be able to drop it like a bomb, I have an idea of dropping a bunch of flechette type weights onto unsuspecting cars.

    We're asking Diamondback wether we can use the guilded missile system from the Me-262 or not. If he agrees then we have have some real FREEDOOOOMMMMM

    I'm pretty sure there are 2 rack on the wings so it won't be too difficult. also if you are interested in more stupid monstrosity projects like this join our discord server here: https://discord.gg/6jR3DwGR

    How do you start up the plane? I turned on the ignition and put the throttle up but the plane just stays still

    No. I'm not copying a real plane, my inspiration was a custom plane i made in simple planes. I want to keep that freedom. Plus the cessna 172's suspension is... lacking. I want overkill suspension lol.

    I have no idea what that is, i know very little about bush planes.

    Update: I got the propeller connected directly to the engine. No more gearbox

    How exactly do you start it up? I went in realistic yet it still didn't start.

    Go into realistic gearbox, and shift to drive. if that doesnt work, try holding the start button to start the engine. if that still doesnt work, try uninstaling and reinstalling the mod.

    What happens is that when I turn on the ignition the prop spins extremely slow. Ive even uninstalled the mod.
