>tfw you write a bunch of text and the thread enters an unrecoverable stall and crashes into the terrain bellow One of my settings is a fantasy world with a timeline spanning from their classical era to their 2010s equivalent, so they obviously have aircraft. In spite of magic fading away, vehicles are still powered by crystalized magic (a ragnite ripoff, tbqh). I wanted to design some prop planes for their world war, but I know next to nothing about props or why pull props were favoured over push props, the advantages and disadvantages of each configuration, etc.
Matthew Brooks
>why tractor props got favoured Pushers are probably a bit more difficult to get working properly, nevertheless WW1 saw quite a number of them before they went out of fashion.
WWII saw almost no canards or pushers, the Shinden and Ascender being the most famous ones. The Ascender got canned because it performed badly.
I'll assume complexity and the fact that it almost limits you to canard configurations due to CG position has something to do with it. That and the fact that at that point tractor configurations were much better understood, with most engines being built for tractors too.
Tractors are also inherently more stable because the thrust comes from the nose of the aircraft. The propeller also sits freely and doesn't have an airframe in the way of sucking in air, albeit how much of an effect that has I don't know.

Jaxson Jenkins
It's plausible then to have a setting where more time was invested in researching pushers than tractors, then? It's just the first idea that came up to avoid my designs from ressembling an existing design.
Jace Jones
Seriously though, those three colours work really well together
Justin Taylor
Pushers tend to have overheating problems.
Isaac Lewis
Sure, Crimson Skies did that. I doubt that the aerodynamic differences of canards to regular wings would really matter for a VC tier fantasy world.
It's even plausible to have jet engines before pistons, albeit really shitty ones because they need really good materials and precise manufacturing. Because jets are really simple engines.
Albeit it looks a lot better to just have props/pistons because we associate those with older plane designs and airships.
Also this, I guess I filed that away under complexity issues. It's harder to get air to a pusher than to a tractor.

I'll definitely design some original aircraft (for both this setting and the Mars one) soon... Once I've finished the F-33 schematics, drawn the Silent Flanker and finished the WW2 Kottos. I might need prompts to get kickstarted, though. I always have trouble getting started with this sort of things.
Juan King
Remember to stay fly, strong, and ace ready, all day long.
Isaiah Davis
>prompts to get kickstartered Like a config suggestion?
Liam Martin
Yeah, configuration, unusual features, that sort of brainstorming aids. For both WW2-esque aircraft and Cold War to modern age ones.
Zachary Gray
Pushpull, so we can have opponents for eachother.
Possibly canard configuration

Best timeline tied with the Freedom Flanker one. I can't into rendering, sadly. I might need to do some master studies to get the hang of it. Anyone got artist recomendations to do those studies? Also sauce for pic related. Preferably not picture-perfect photorealism, I'm just getting started.

Also fairly sure that Caudron just took their racing plane, slapped some guns on it and called it an interceptor/light fighter

How the fuck do I fix my ps2? It keeps freezing with games such as AC 4 and 0, especially during cutscenes. I literally can't progress because of the interview one, and I press start to skip it goes directly to random points with fucked up audio. So far this only happened with those two games, I tested Budokai Tenkaichi 3,Tekken 5 and Knights of the temple 2 and those work just fine Any ideas?

Probably the disk's fault if it's only those two games.

did we ever figure out if the prisoners are Erusian or Osean?
Gabriel Cooper
I'm pretty sure they're Erusian, considering they're being held in an Osean camp.
Matthew Cox
It's an Osean prison at the very least.
David Parker
>Spelling Erusean as Erusian Cease this.
Mead's South-Belkan.
Camden Campbell
But that's how it's spelled in-game.
Bentley Perez
ok then, I had an idea that if they were in an Erusian prison then the reason we lead them might be because we get captured I was thinking that since it seems the Arsenal bird knocks our most of your allies in the demo you might get shot down yourself. but there goes that idea
Cooper Hughes

Does anyone else find it ridiculously difficult to beat Pixy's last phase in third person mode, but easy to beat him in cockpit view?
For some reason I fuck up the turns in third person. I think it's the added UI from the cockpit.
