Airco DH2 v3.0 - Garry's Mod

The third version of my DH2, which actually looks like a real DH2 now lol (no more wireframe fuselage.) Unfinished prototype: [media]http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/6788/gmflatgrass200810026.jpg[/media] Near final: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yC9rjt_GaLc&fmt=18[/media] Among all of the other custom models, it showcases my Bentley BR.2 model (you have probably seen it in the models forum) which took around 5 hours to make. The DH2 itself took all night (10 PM-6 AM) to make. I was in the process of adding a rudder and elevators to the tail when the Joystick module broke and couldn't show those off. On another note, if anyone has any idea why the Joystick module is failing, I'd like to know.

Colour the effect 0 alpha, 2 get rid of that green ring

I miss the old days where it would just disappear if you didn't point the physgun at it for a few seconds :/

Then bug someone who knows how to code to do such a thing. Nice plane btw.

Why is the engine pistons spinning?

Nice plane, but yeah why is the engine spinning LOL? Also get rid of those front landing wheels and put the same ones like on the rear.

Because thats the engine.... The force of the engine spinning makes the propellor go right round baby

I'm guessing he's trying to make it look like a rotary engine. This kind of engine was used a lot during world war 1. [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_engine[/url]

''in which the crankshaft remained stationary and the entire cylinder block rotated around it'' -Wikipedia Nice Airplane still :3

Highly informative video of what a rotary engine is: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6PnKUEFX8g[/media] Bentley BR.2: [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bentley_BR2[/url] [QUOTE=edberg;17212266]Make the elevator less of a box and you have yourself a winner.[/QUOTE] I was planning on that when the Joystick module died and couldn't do anything further.

Stupid french. Most of the rotary engine planes would flip over instantly on take off with some of the more inexperienced pilots because of the torque.

The original DH2 used a Gnome engine, but the bentley BR.2 was made in England.

Can we have an airbattle sometime? I just started building my own version, made up the tail myself just need to put some details on it and arm it and add rudders. I quick flight so far all ok.

Where did you get the speedometer at the bottom of the screen?

It looks like a combination of a DH2 and a P38 and that one Japanese fighter I can't remember the name of. I generally don't have dogfights with anyone, because the times I did, they just put tons of thrusters and seeking rockets all over their planes which made it ridiculous and pointless.

why is the [b]radial[/b] engine spinning also it's just a custom model that flies [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Trolling" - Benji))[/highlight]

[QUOTE=GiGaBiTe;17318647]Get out, go troll elsewhere.[/QUOTE] How is that a troll? It's a legitimate statement. If it's just a single large model that you made fly, isn't it the same as if someone posted an XQM plane they got moving?

[QUOTE=Sestze;17353657]How is that a troll?

Since you can't seem to read, the engine is a [b]ROTARY[/b] engine, NOT a [b]RADIAL[/b] engine. Now [b]READ[/b] this and educate yourself so you don't look dumb in the future.
