@temporaryaccount Thanks.

@SledDriver np

Thanks, @MAHADI

Oh god you took those Japanese characters as Chinese ones!!(Actually they looked similar and is probably the same language in the past)
So...这才是中文('This is Chinese'In Chinese)

AWESOME...

@Phantom1 I don't know - why don't you download it and find out?

@DarthAbhinav Thanks, but there's no need to credit me for that.

Is it mobile friendly

Sorry, My mistake. And yes I just looked it up. That plane is ugly... @SledDriver

@Maxwell1 I never said it was a small part. I'm merely adding to your point, that the underlying shape is also important. Take an airplane like the Mielec PZL M-15 Belphegor, for instance. No amount of detail will make it anything but ugly.

But still detail is quite a large factor. Look at the Enterprise D without all the windows and panel detailing and just the shape. It still looks nice but it doesn't have that amount of depth the windows and stuff give it. Or the Millennium Falcon with just the basic shape. The 'depth' is taken away. Without that 'depth' it's just a saucer with a bit attached to it. Details always give that 'real-ness' to every thing. From toys to basically everything. @SledDriver

@Maxwell1 Correction, it's only partly about the details. The other part is about the essence of the thing. If the overall shape isn't beautiful, no amount of detail will make it so.

It's all about the details. @SledDriver

@Maxwell1 Nicely engineered toys are what it's all about, from model cars to space rockets.

Haha. I am yet to watch the 007 movies. My dad had a Aston Martin DB-5 toy and most of its features are broken, but a really nicely engineered toy it is! @SledDriver

@DarthAbhinav Also check out this great post.

@Maxwell1 Yes, I learned it from Ian Fleming's You Only Live Twice, of all places. "Shimata, I have made a mistake."

@DarthAbhinav Hardly infinite, but yes, gladly. If you want to be good, get a firm grasp of the fundamentals, especially how to make planes fly well. There are a few guides out there for Kerbal Space Program that apply equally well to SP. This one, for instance.

Don't obsess over part count or details in the beginning, focus on building shapes that fly well. If you look at my earliest planes they're very simple, but they're the ones that helped me learn the fundamentals of SP. The important thing is fluency - being so adept at the basics of building that there is a minimum of friction between thinking of a design and building it.

Start using Overload and Fine Tuner mods. The default editor is too limited - learn to enter precise values directly into Overload instead of clicking dozens of times to increment/decrement by 0.25. Practice until you have an instinctive understanding of how offset, cornerType, frontScale and rearScale work. If you're not afraid of messing around in code directly, try editing the XML for your planes in a code editor. If you can learn to do that, you will save a lot of time.

Finally, be creative. Replicas are nice, but develop your own style -- build something original. Don't apply any artificial limitations like "airplanes are supposed to look/fly a certain way." To me, the point of a game is not to recreate boring old reality, but to go beyond it. Superpowered engines, crazy designs, infinite fuel, unrealistic handling, fanciful weapons - the point is to have fun.

Ok. Shimata means something like 'Oh, shoot' I think...@SledDriver

@Maxwell1 Also hai, banzai, kohi o motte kite kudasai, arigato, so desu ka, shimata, baka, gaijin, etc.

@SledDriver no problem

Ones that look like あ and ア are homemade in Japan.
Ones that look like 亜 are adopted from ze Chinese language.
Also the text I wrote in my original comment is kinda real casual Japanese... and not 'proper' Japanese. @SledDriver
And in betting that the two jap words you know is konnichiwa and kampai... am I right?

@Maxwell1 Japanese? I thought it was Chinese. (That should tell you that I used Google Translate). I can say one or two phrases in Japanese, but cannot read it at all.

That wasn't meant to be insulting... btw. @SledDriver

Oh... do you actually speak Japanese? Or did you get Mr. Google to help you out? @SledDriver
