Description

The first real life airplane, and the first on LFS too!
Forget about Wright Brothers, they have used a catapult system to make that thing fly.
This 14-Bis has its own engine and can fly on its own with only one person controlling, standing on a basket.

Here you can take a look at how it flies
The moment where a person took it really serious, and flew across entire Layout Square: https://streamable.com/s6ob9h
My try with the WR set (now included as a default setup): https://streamable.com/44zi28

Just like in real life, where you need to complete a check list before the flight, here is one with tips you might want to have fun with it.
-Its not recommended to change weight distribution and aerodynamics of the vehicle. I've made many stability and flight time tests trying to make it simmilar to how it behaves in real life. But if you find a better setting on these things, where its more realistic with weight distribution and it flies better, please contact me Wink
- You cant really control it in mid air, LFS is not made for airplanes. But you can slightly unsettle it using throttle and brake, just like bikes when on air
- Changing gear ratios wont make huge difference because wheels will stop touching the ground when the vehicle hits around 60kph air speed
- For making it fly, do not add wind, it will make the plane unstable and wont help in anything. Go down a slope, like BL2 straight, just before the bridge, or the big straight in Aston shown on the video above. You can also make a platform well above the ground and just drive it off there.
- Please use 25% fuel in order to make it fly as stable as possible. Also take it slowly until you reach your takeoff point, then floor it and try prevent wheelies.
