Just a curious question.
why/ how did you guys play/ joined simpleplanes?
was it a reccommendation from a friend? pure fate or ???
i personally, have a burning to fly since childhood. looking into the sky, i would gaze in amazement in how a heavier than air machine fly.
i then learnt how they work when i was 7. and that got me thinking...
why do different planes look different from each other? But i didn't really bother about planes until i was around 14, when academic stress brought up a constant thought of just flying around freely like a bird. then i realised what i craved for was Freedom. My friend introduced me to simpleplanes and i saw that i could bring my imagination to fly in the virtual world. yes, i've always been the creative kid in class and aced my sciences all along.
Then i got hooked.And yeah! that's how i basically found simpleplanes!
Now im focusing on my studies in order to get into Aeronautical engineering in a polytechnic. who knows? maybe you'll see one of my creations flying!
At First I Found SimplePlanes In A Video On YouTubeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
I was looking through apps and I Found this!
@FatNinja trust me, I would love to play it, however, I think I'll need a better computer than I have currently
@Scottydoesthings would reccomend "from the depths" to you
At first, it was just a fun thing to do before I signed in. The only thing REALLY close to SimplePlanes was a game called,"BattleshipCraft". Skipping past the deleting of the app off the App Store, I needed something to spend my creative mind on(btw it was recently Christmas and I got a ITunes gift card) so I decided to buy the game. Once I finally got on it over the weekend, the first thing I did was download a butt-load of planes. Eventually I made my first plane on New Years Eve. Then this all leads up to me joining this awesome community.
@GreenGiraffe XD
@FatNinja I mean, I was worried when I went to England. I can't imagine that I would be any good going 1500kph+ in an F-18.
@FatNinja that's a nice little plan you got there. Mine used to be somewhat like that, but I decided that actually flying the planes wasn't really my thing.
@xenopath yeah
@FatNinja Well we are aiming to work for the aviation industry right?
PATRIOTISM!
@FatNinja either that or aeronautical engineering and work for a local company
@GreenGiraffe ahh... i plan to get my pilot license and get drawn into the airforce.(if i can) then once i retire, become a commercial pilot
I'm hoping to study aeronautical engineering as well. I want to design aeroplanes for a living, but I'm in Australia and we have next to no proper aerospace design jobs where I am. Oh, and I have 5 years to go until I can even get into uni. @FatNinja
@FatNinja oh cool.
16 here
@GreenGiraffe
And I found the Game by chance
@FatNinja damn this whole post is basically my story except I'm only 13
Fun
i use SP to test out concepts and physics i can use in FTD as i can bring it anywhere with the Mobile.
.
I too played Robocraft but nowadays, it seems to be full of kids who phave really weak builds and often die in first few mins of any game.
@iFalco
@iFalco have you tried
From the depths
I watch Jack play it and since I have always liked games like Kerbal Space Program I decided to try it out.
About 6-months.
Bride basher simple psychics dummy defense simple rockets then finally Simpleplanes
Anyway, during that time, I also started to look around through it's links, and found a BSC Navies wiki.... This was almost 4 years ago. At the time, it looked really nice, with a lot of RP going on when I first looked at it's recent wiki activity. I thought I'd try it at some point, but I never got around to it... I'll talk about that later in this. Anyway, pretty much dropped off those sites for over a year, at least from most of the activity, only checking the BSC one when I was bored and wanted something to read, and still passively played BSC every now and then, grinding up for better ships, while playing other games that I was more interested in, a lot of them shooters, management, or strategy games. I came back around a year later, during 8th grade, where I wasn't doing the best, and felt I needed some way to withdraw from the world... I turned to those old sites, made an account for myself, and started commenting. At the time I joined, though, quite a few tragic things were happening... pretty chaotic, really. I mostly tried to make myself known in the BSC navies RP in the first month, though I ended up doing a lot of things wrong and halted activity on the wiki(RP wise) for almost 2 weeks. I'll skip over most of the history, but I started making friends and 'accomplices' by the time it was mid summer, and also got the Hansa mod for BSC. Skip over several months, and I was pretty much one of the more respected community members, though not the most... Well, we'll just say that I mostly tried to maintain the community and the RP for a side job, and didn't get too much for it(not that I cared). Around October/November of 2014, a person in that community showed pictures of... well, stuff, every now and then on the chat. I pretty took the most backroad way of figuring out what it was by looking at what the window of the screenshots showed, lol(didn't realize he actually said it in the chat. Never noticed, I guess, lol). That's pretty much how I found simple planes. That person in the community? ... Tato(Better known as UnstableOrbit here.). The rest is history, as they say. And it's pretty obvious what mod he is making, lol.
