Warbird WIP

30.4k Hyattorama  2.3 years ago

Hello SimplePlanes people — I just started playing SP again after being gone for 2 years. So much has changed! I thought I’d finish this warbird I started years ago based on something u/117Destroyerz posted… but the part count has gotten out of control and I’m frustrated with it… I’d hoped I could make it useful for VR users but since I’m on iPhone I dunno how realistic that goal is. Anyway, check it out and tell me if its worth putting any more effort into — I think no, since half of it was built using obsolete techniques, which is why the part count is so high. Oh well. Nice to see you all again.

    @Hyattorama I'm glad to hear you're doing better now bud and hope to see more builds from you and that you have time to just relax inbetween.. what old truck do you have?
    I'm ok just like you trying to be safe & covid free which can be difficult if you work with the induhviduals that make up the UK public..

    Ah well, too bad — let’s just say I’m better now than I was previously lol. I’m not doing a whole lot these days other than caretaking for father (which is sometimes demanding and sometimes not) and trying to keep my old truck running nominally lol. Plus I do some odd jobs for a few other septuagenarian friends. Trying to be safe and stay covid free. What about you? @TDCraft

    @Hyattorama I may have slightly overreacted and said they had just 3 brain cells in the forum post where I was accused (which I still agree with) before I got the mods involved - they basically said I overreacted and was harsh to said username and that was that - i think they got a warning but nothing else .
    I hadn't actually thought of doing that to my old builds - hmmm.....that's a really good thought! and very nice of you to say such nice things about my frequently bloated, oft wonky minds eye replicas...
    What have you been up to? Have you been keeping well?

    Oh man! What the hell! Did you report to the mods or anything? Congratulations on hitting plat by the way, really a shame you had to delete the account… why don’t you post all your old builds on your new acct? Maybe you can update them with glass/gauges if you feel like it, and at least start to regain some of your rank a bit. Plus I think if all those builds were no longer accessible to any users ever again — many of them were the best example of their respective original source vehicle — that would be really sad… @TDCraft

    @Hyattorama I had a run in with the player named nameremoved - he was publicly accusing me of being a troll and after 2 months of nothing happening about it i deleted my newly platinum account...yeah all my old builds died with the account deletion but do still have most of them in game

    Thanks man :)

    What sort of bother do you mean? Someone was harassing you or what? I’m sorta surprised, considering I’ve found the SP community to be one of the least toxic I’ve encountered online…

    What about all your old builds though? They’re all taken down I guess? @TDCraft
