A sea plane i made out of a deleted part

8,582 HB200Studio  one month ago

So, i found myself messing around with the XML editor at 3 AM, and i stumbled across this propeller engine, which honestly looks pretty cool

Doing some research i found out that this engine was actually part of the pre-release version of SimplePlanes, but did not make it into the final version (probably due to the lack of properties it has compared to the propeller engines we have now), which is a shame because, honestly, these engines look pretty neat

There's pretty much nothing else to say about this craft other that it's your average sea plane. It flies, it floats, and has 48 parts, 4 parts less than the stock simple seaplane that comes preloaded in the game

Controls: standard

Recommended takeoff speed: 110 mph on land, 85 mph on water

    if you change the part type to engine-prop and a number of 3 or higher and start the game, your buttons and controls softlock including the menu button, and the plane still moves

    @SPWithLizzie It's the same but with a smaller propeller and produces less thrust.

    this propeller was indeed used in the game, however it got removed from the parts list (but remained in the game) when the props we have now came out

    Okay, okay, no need to shout.
    Remember that there are two legacy propellers.
