stormworks has always been ♥♥♥♥ with landing gear and staying still. if you are using a lower physics mode that could do it. The game is also just janky and doesn’t like that the landing gear is many parts.

WHY DOES THIS THING KEEP MOVING FORWARD UNCONTROLLABLY THE MOMENT I SPAWN IT IN EVEN WITH THE PARKING BRAKE ON

consistently?

the left landing gear is stuck

@roknmatoz You don't have to use pivots.. The whole point of XML is not to use pivots, right?

@Zachattack227 I didnt want to use slightly pivoted blocks for this plane as more physics objects increase the lag by a lot and i am used to using wedges. In the future i might use that method though!

Thank you!

I really love the plane thanks for making it!

The best way to do larger (closer to level) angles is to use blocks.
The face of a normal 1x1 wedge is slanted over 45 degrees, so using XML to stretch it across a large distance will definitely cause shading problems. Stormworks thinks the wedge face is still at 45 degrees, when in reality, the shape of the angle is closer to being level.

Thank you for the comments on it @Zachattack227 ill see what I can do about the comments you made. I did choose for the wings to be xml wedges to get as close as I could to the 1:1 scale as possible. Unfortunately it does shade badly but I prioritized accuracy over lighting glitches.

Zachatttack doesnt want to play with me anymore

my honest reaction to Zachatttack227's information:

Also, if you'd like help fixing the wings, I'd be happy to help with any XML-related questions you may have.

Very cool airplane.
There are a few suggestions I have though..

The front landing gear doesn't seem to work on the ground because the gear spawns sideways. Stormworks is interesting in the way it handles wheels being spawned n any orientation other than straight up and down. This may have also caused you troubles with taxiing the aircraft.

The XML shading on the wings can be distracting from the overall look of the aircraft. There are ways to fix this (using blocks instead of wedges), but it's easier to build in steps instead of trying to make everything smooth.

I also noticed that some bits of invisible parts fall off of the aircraft when spawned in, and there is a random block in front of one of the seats in the right row.
Other than those few things, I especially like the interior of the plane. It's very nicely done.

Not currently but I might in the future, have other projects im working on right now tho

Any plans to make a Nakajima G5N? after all, the G5N was the result of the IRL DC-4E prototype being dismantled and inspected after being clandestinely handed over to Nakajima by Japan Airlines,, who purchased it.

There you go! Refueling Ports have been added underneath each wingtip!

Thanks!

oh, there is not currently but ill add that right now, thank you for pointing that out!

Is there a way to refuel the plane? I've looked a bit but I could be missing something obvious

Landing gears in my dreams

Currently there is no way to get in the plane without noclipping inside, I might add a ladder dolly to get in but I am working on other projects and finals right now

Same I cant get in

Please add button to get in

ah, thank you for catching my mistake, yes it is supposed to be C-54!

"... but never entered production as it was superseded by the Douglas DC-4/C-47 “Skymaster.”"
isn't the skymaster the C-54?

it needs a modded workbench to spawn the plane regularly, however there is an addon link posted at the top of the page for those who dont have a modded workbench

how spawn it :(

i nutted

I have fixed many issues that have been noted in the comments! If anyone finds any more please put them down here!

Its very similar! Its around the same time period too.

this looks like a constellation

Until then, i have a quite basic DC-3 in my Workshop, roknmator feel free to get inspiration from it, its not 1:1 and not perfect but its quite ok^^

Mr.MayoMan perhaps

EngagerInTomfoolery I'll fix those issues thank you for bringing them up!

I had some issues with the engineer's panel not being supplied power. There was also no power generation from the engines, I had to turn on infinite electric to take off. The landing gear light is also a bit misleading, on when the gears are up and off when they are down. These issues seem a bit obvious, but since no one else has complained about them, they might just be an issue in my instance and not with the creation itself. Other than that the plane handles awesome and the design is fantastic. Nice plane.

make a DC-3

There will be a military variant coming some time in the future!!! It will probably resemble the c-47.

Will there be other Variants aswell?

This is awesome, good Job!

150 Rounds Of AP Ammunition

yes good
