Jet has the turn rate of a snail

I’ve tried making an MiG 29 inspired aircraft, but now I’ve come into a huge problem regarding manouvering. I either become insanely unstable and if I reduce pitch authority it can’t even pitch enough to get up from the ground. I’m lost and I have no idea how to fix it
BTW I know this isn’t a screenshot or the best image you’ve seen in your life, but genuine help only in the comments please 🙏

V22 Osprey - Cargo Bay "Bocked"

Hey, I've made a V22 Osprey build. It already handles well and have the cockpit installed. I tried putting in some cargo and deliver packages but with the cargo door open there seems to be no cargo getting through and when you try to walk through you get blocked as wel. What could be the problem here?

How do you guys deal with a design that's beyond repair?

I just want advice.

So, for context, I was building this Super Hornet. Looks good, right? Well, when I tried making tweaks, it just caused more and more flaws until I couldn't find a way to fix them.

I have tried and looked for literally any cause. But now it's just a $60 million dollar paperweight that I spent 2 hours making.

Perhaps the biggest Cargo plane?

Lore - The CA-2M Dragon Starlifter is a absolutely gigantic aircraft thats almost half the size of the a super carrier, the plane is capable of carrying 20 Black Serpent MBTs (2 platoons) including ammunition, fuel, crew, and support assests. This plane was a part of Ka'ak Nal's expansion over the northern gulf, capable of carrying far more assets than any other in service aircraft and able to cruise for over 14 hours straight at max thrust. The Starlifer is however a massive unenumerable target, it MUST be exclusively used in occupied airspace or at least in a low intensity conflict zone with escort. Only 3 Dragon Starlifters have ever been made, one is still in its original configuration, one named "Starfire" had been armed with Cruise missiles, 155mm artillery, Autocannons, miniguns, and air to air missiles, the last one had been turned into a flying hotel named "Starsong" used exclusively as a show of power at diplomatic missions.

Notes -
This aircraft is ACTUALLY carrying 20 MBT "Analogs" in game, each weighing 60 tons and are the same dimensions as the actual MBT.

The MBT was made in the game "Sprocket"

This aircraft using 12 of the most powerful ULTRA turbofan engines

Longer names or descriptions for aircraft in build and fly

For sp1 Need longer name boxes or a description box under name, or if you click that aircraft when it pulls it up and build and fly it can give a description of it so you now what you will use it for

Please don’t take down 1 I like it over 2 it’s simple and what I’ve played for years

How to keep camera attached?

This camera when you look around moves the turret.
I cannot flip it upside down without it detaching and if I try and connected it to something then the turret won’t move

Thoughts on new insanely detailed build? Lockheed P-2V Neptune

Hey y'all, just finally wrapped up my largest project to date, the Lockheed P-2V Neptune, a firebomber converted aircraft. A lot of work went into this over a week, and a lot of people have gave me great tips. Here are some pictures, with a lot of easter eggs throughout the build. Let me know what you find! Any and all criticism is welcome!

Here's the link, please upvote if you enjoy the build!

Future update speculation

Does anyone think there'll ever be a time when they add things like electric motors or maybe the ability to connect drivetrain parts to non-drivetrain parts?

CV joints aren’t CV’ing

Hi I’m new here. I’m trying to build a solid axel drive train and I noticed there’s no flex in the axel joints. Is there any work around for this?

My first Sea Plane! SP2

I present the Avro-Douglas "Snow Lynx" or AD-14, designed and built in the late sixties the AD-14 would operate as one of the only flying boat airliners in the world. Specially designed to be able to land on water, gravel, and Ice this aircraft would help connect many rural communities in Northern Canada and beyond.
