Exposing myself

32.8k TheRLAF  one month ago

Yea, this day was inevitable
Basically, I steal a LOT of stuff related to FT code, custom text stuff (radar screens andHUDs just to name a few), and things of that sorts

For example
The FT code I used for the CIWS on the upgraded TAE-II isn't mine (I'll like the maker in the comments)

The radar screen I use is from Eagle(excd)

And for a lot of the HUDs I use, I just steal them from random planes I download

And the reason I don't credit them, is because I forget who they are, and I mostly feel like it isn't that important, and people would be able to figure out that I didn't make that

But, I guess, I must come clean now, before someone beats me to it

    for ALL my ft I just use google ai and it works (until it doesn't) but it's generally pretty useful, don't have to worry about credit or searching through builds

    @TheRLAF yeah sometimes i add a label saying something like "credit goes to ..." Or " special thanks to ... for this part". It's a neat visual gag but i do It mostly when It can be easily visible.

    Honestly, the label with the builder's name sounds really smart!

    Yeah, I don't think that you're alone on this. Sometimes, I also take parts that need complex FT code to work. Although I also try to give credit when I can, either by stating it in the build's description or by placing a label with the builder's name on the part itself.

    I'll most probably state which parts aren't mine from now on

    Hmm?
    Jsuk I snagged the HUD from one of your planes.
    I think I told you but I can’t remember

    its a whole different story if you blatantly take an entire plane, make no changes whatsoever (or make a few slight changes), remove the auto credit using XML, and then upload it as your own, which is where actual issues arise, but taking a few parts isnt bad as long as you provide credit or state that it isnt yours.

    in my case, the Sentry is composed of parts from other planes, so i made a dedicated credits section. i mean, HUDs arent bad, basically every HUD ive seen is reused from a different plane.
    if you can remember what you took it from then make sure to list it in credits, if you cant then list that as well.
