Blohm & Voss BV.238

Hey guys!

To follow up on my giant Caproni, I wanted to showcase my latest heavy project in a more cinematic way: the famous Blohm & Voss BV 238 — one of the largest and heaviest flying boats of World War II.

I've added all the historical Balkenkreuz markings, dual-deck windows, and functional defensive turrets. It flies like a heavy ocean cruiser but handles beautifully on vanilla physics!

Let me know what you think of this retro aesthetic! What should i build next?

I fixed history! My 10.5-ton, 2150+ block Caproni Ca.60 "Novioplano" that ACTUALLY flies (without thrust mods!)

Hey everyone!

I’ve spent some time pushing Trailmakers to its absolute limits, and after a lot of sweat, tears, and game crashes, I finally built a fully functional Caproni Ca.60 (the infamous 9-winged flying houseboat from 1921). The real aircraft crashed on its second flight, but this 10,500 kg digital monster actually stays in the air and cruises perfectly on vanilla physics!

Some crazy stats about this build:

Complexity: ~2150 blocks (had to use a complexity limit remover mod, the game was crying).

Weight: 10,500 kg (including around 60 passenger seats placed inside to act as historical ballast and balance out the insane lift from 9 massive wings).

Dimensions: 96 blocks long, 120 blocks wingspan.

Top Speed: 200-210 km/h.

Fun fact: I almost lost the entire 3-hour building process because the engine crashed directly to desktop when I tried to repaint all 2150 blocks at once. Luckily, the autosave history saved this leviathan! Let me know what you think! I also have a huge collection of other rare historical aircraft (like the Ilya Muromets, Bf-109Z, Do-317, and even a working Kirov Airship), let me know if you want to see them next!
