    Yeah, stop using a zillion exp. gates on 3 phx props and call it a "realistic" plane, you should try to spend more time actually making it look nice than fly like hoverballed stuff

    Did you like... even bother to look at screenshots?

    They are supposed to use least props possible, also keep wiring outside themselves, so you can have up to 4 airplanes on same server, without major lag

    Detailed stuff does not lag either, if you know how to weld properly, Most my stuff only is about 100-200 constraints. Plus it looks far nicer than some of the stuff posted here.

    Why don't you make thread with your stuff then?

    ^ Wishful thinking.

    George, I hate to break it to you kid, but ANY contraption with 200 constraints is going to lag. No matter how much of a "welding expert" you think you are. Maybe not BAD, but when you have 3 or 4 contraptions with that many welds, you're definitely going to notice it.

    Quit being rude.

    George isn't being rude, he's proving a point.

    Besides, I'd rather have a bunch of fairly laggy, pretty planes flying around than 10 ugly planes flying around.

    Though there's one or two plane here that isn't bad.

    Also about the SR-71 like airplane, I'd move the cylinders outside the box their currently in, move said box inwards a bit and place the fins on the cylinders. Assuming you want it to look more like an SR-71, ofcourse. I just find the engines and fins of the SR-71 the most recognizable thing about the aircraft.

    o.O I fail to see how 'proper' welding will reduce the lag when a good portion of the lag comes from trying to process the physics for each and every piece (I would assume, anyway, since things only start to lag when a ~200 constraint contraption starts to move)

    Well if you wanna play the game in screenshot mode then go for it But you don't even need to launch Garrys Mod at that point. Just go back a page and look at George's plane and you'll be all set.

    Edit: I also fail to see how George proved anything, he stated an opinion maybe, but didn't prove anything.

    But the fact that you play gmod more to write lines of expression chips than actually build something good is quite sad...
