how many sides do i need to have for the fuselage to look round and not like the hindenburg?

IF it's a smallish airplane, a smoothed 16 sided cylinder would be the minimum.

I like to start off with a 24-32 sided fuselage ... if I'm making a roundish tin sausage.

For real planes, I'll probably stay with an 8-16 sided cylinder...

(Where real plane is described as a mid-twenties/ early thirties open cockpit fighter)

Thanks feliix......so ur saying "real airplanes have propellers"

real planes have props, fabric covering, struts, at least two mainplanes, and none of the wimpy stuff like "brakes", "glass panels", etc.

Without seeing a screenshot, ,.,,, because you made it that way ...

I presume you're using the latest version - 2.24?

Remember - in TOP view the nose points UP.

In side view - the nose points RIGHT.
