It has powerful engine, enough to take off easily and reach 300 KPH. Maybe you enabled HOTAS throttle mode without having joystick? That would set throttle at 0.5 automatically. Or maybe you enabled Blip Throttle mode and forget to keep the throttle active?

This is my favorite WW1 plane, thank you!

Updated:
- Added weapons
- Removed neutral prop pitch behavior on ground when parking brake on
Thales  [author] 28 Jun, 2021 @ 4:57pm 
Update:
- Added extra fuel tank above top wing that represents gravity-fed fuel tank in the real one.
- Upgraded engine with supercharged intake (Max speed is increased by 22%, max range is increased by 55%)

XML edited fluid nozzles.

is the rotary engine an XML mod? if so, i'll take the entire stock!

oh ok @thales
Kamov☭ 30 Apr, 2021 @ 8:08pm 
ok increase more speed
Thales  [author] 30 Apr, 2021 @ 11:18am 
Update:
Range and speed are increased around 15-20%.
Total mass is slightly (15 mass) higher now.
Maneuverability and gliding is improved.

@Dunc813,
Airco DH.1A is easier to land than this because of its bigger wings.
Dunc813 25 Apr, 2021 @ 9:28am 
This is literally one of three planes I can actually land, nice Job! If you want a challenge, try making a real radial engine with the modular engines.

Thanks!

Nice, great to see review videos!

I took a Look at your Plane! check it out here: https://youtu.be/2GK3QEsh7d8 Dude, This thing is SO STABLE.

I can't exactly remeber the name of it, but it was from 60s or 70s. Was a british movie on dogfighting in ww1, it was a drama. I'll comment the name of it when I remember
Thales  [author] 21 Apr, 2021 @ 3:08pm 
Thanks for the comments
@Elitely,
Which movie?
Elitely The Triggity Troller 21 Apr, 2021 @ 3:04pm 
im getting vibes from a classic ww1 movie
kak the protogen 21 Apr, 2021 @ 2:10pm 
amazing as always
outofideas 21 Apr, 2021 @ 12:10pm 
ah yes another outstanding aircraft for the people of stormworks
flokipig 21 Apr, 2021 @ 11:32am 
love it good job keep up the good work:steamhappy:

Nice plane!
a spooky house 21 Apr, 2021 @ 8:55am 
okay.

@the logo of TSW2020,
It's usually called radial engine in Stormworks when there are 4 cylinders around one crankshaft.
a spooky house 21 Apr, 2021 @ 3:25am 
does stormworks actually have a radial engine?
Thales  [author] 20 Apr, 2021 @ 3:44pm 
@FireCat17,
Also, difference in performance seems not very high, actually I couldn't test precisely because when changing prop pitch and gearbox accordingly, RPM changes a lot which is also interesting.
Thales  [author] 20 Apr, 2021 @ 3:41pm 
@FireCat17,
Current configuration serves better so I don't change because;
1. Higher RPM during takeoff where more power required
2. Lower RPM during cruise where fuel efficiency required
3. Also no place for another gearbox
KasperKRZ 20 Apr, 2021 @ 3:34pm 
@Thales,
So it's fixed?
Thales  [author] 20 Apr, 2021 @ 11:24am 
@FireCat17,
I now tried, thus, behavior turns back to normal when having positive prop pitch with negative gearbox.
KasperKRZ 20 Apr, 2021 @ 11:02am 
In the description there is a line of text that says "RPM gets lower as the airplane speeds up which is reverse of standard tractor configuration. So this makes pusher types are worse for speed". Have you tried using both a reversed gearbox and reversed prop pitch (Not at the same time)?

@Kachaloo14,
True. My interest on WW1 planes increased recently and I'm planning to modify them with weapons when DLC come out. For multiplayer performance I'm not using many sub-bodies because when Weapons DLC come out, multiplayer may be more crowded.
slurp 20 Apr, 2021 @ 10:17am 
(hey wait a minute i thought thales said he/she wouldn't make a weaponized plane until the weapon dlc comes out?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!)
Komrade aka Würfel 19 Apr, 2021 @ 10:24pm 
Looks a bit weird but works great!
K三IR 19 Apr, 2021 @ 7:35pm 
Wow my favorite WWI plane! Super cool
