  • SimplePlanes 2 FAQ yesterday

    Idk if you guys will answer this, but:
    Q: Will you use SP xml format but with higher xmlVersion and new sections or will you make new one?
    Q: Perhaps it's too early to ask, but will you keep format of DesignerParts and setting files?

    Q: Not related, but how do i download crafts from SR2 with curl?

  • 1-part custom images: easier, larger, lighter 11 days ago

    @TRS051
    If code's generated but doesn't shows in SP, try to:
    - increase label's width and height;
    - set label's alignment to top-left;

    if image's displayed but is cut off, try to decrease image's size and generate code again. apparently label's limited to 100k dots and it's not something i can change

    If it doesn't generates label's code, try to:
    - make sure image isn't svg;
    - if you're using image link, make sure that hosting allows cross-origin resource sharing (or download image and try again);
    - check browser's dev console (usually F12) to see what's wrong

    @Mousewithamachinegun122 Yes, it is possible to switch frames to get animation ({T=1?"frame":""}{T=2?"frame":""}...), but the program won't do it and idk if it'll be possible to run resulting craft at reasonable fps..

  • FT With ChatGPT? 4 months ago

    Perhaps it can be better if you'll say it's unity's C# and miss some parts of description but tell it basic info about flight dynamics and geometry instead.
    And as Redrocktumbler said you'll perhaps need to repeat your description once in a while, because ANN itself is stateless and "memory" of that one is just last ~3k of tokens glued to your message.

    And no, you must not overestimate ANN, it's more like polynomial approximation than AI you wish to see.

  • SimpleDoom High Graphics 5 months ago

    Well, you're right that label will be recalculated every SP frame, but it will select one (very long) string instead of checking (and sometimes recalculating) hundreds of separate pixels. I don't really know if ternary with floats is equivalent to ternary with (very long) string at runtime, but either way i think there's more pixels than frames.

  • SimpleDoom High Graphics 5 months ago

    Is it really faster to use a variable and format string for each pixel (<#{!pixel?"0000":pixel}>...) instead of using an expression for each frame ({t=0?frame:""}{t=1?frame:""}...)?

    @DatMaluchGuy19 VC variable, it's in meters per second, and it's signed i.e. negative value means it must go backwards.

  • How is your plane handled?Old plane 5 months ago

    Husky's right, SP build files aren't that large.

    @winterro
    p_tgt.i stores id of currently selected point

    p_tgt.x, p_tgt.z are coords of currently selected point
    p_tgt.links.x, p_tgt.links.z are ids of points where it can go from currently selected one.

    p_tgt.i switches to one of p_tgt.links.x%100, p_tgt.links.x//100, p_tgt.links.y%100, and p_tgt.links.y//100 every time car gets close-enough to currently selected point

    Other variables aren't significant for routing, they're used to tame car itself, to make it unable to go to previous point, to make it not headbutt others, to make it stop at dead ends, to make it remember gifts without leaving too much inside label...

  • Sea-skimming Missile (Like the JASSM missile,I'm pretty sure) 6 months ago

    FCLongitude,FCAltitude,FCLatitude are coords of missile

    TD=sqrt( pow(Longitude-FCLongitude+TargetDistance*cos(TargetElevation)*sin(TargetHeading),2) + pow(Latitude-FCLatitude+TargetDistance*cos(TargetElevation)*cos(TargetHeading),2) )

    TAlt=Altitude+TargetDistance*sin(TargetElevation)

    h=5+195*(.5+.5*cos(clamp(0.1*TD+20,0,340)))+1800*(.5+.5*cos(clamp(.01*(TD-45000),0,180)))

    __D is dampener, __P is gain
    PCi=(lerp(TAlt,h,pow(TD/200,2))-FCAltitude+rate(lerp(TAlt,h,pow(TD/200,2))-FCAltitude)*__D)*__P

    40 here is some distance after which missile surely can't damage airplane
    Missile's pitch angle=smooth((abs(Longitude-FCLongitude)+abs(Latitude-FCLatitude))&lt;40|(PCi!=PCi)?0:sign(PCi)*90,(PCi!=PCi)?0:abs(PCi))

  • How does Jundroo get the sfx? 7 months ago

    Reshade is perhaps what you meant, but it have nothing to do with Jundroo.

  • New guy questions from an old player. 7 months ago

    So, does anybody have any pointers about getting started?

    Tutorial section of forums and videos, and perhaps some geometry.

    What am i looking for with my centers of mass, thrust, and lift?

    Thruster must face towards center of mass (if you don't want to use it to rotate craft), so for forward-facing engines usually center of thrust is directly behind center of mass.
    Center of lift is where wing's forces are applied, it moves while you fly.
    Usually wing pulls airplane up, so in cruise CoL is near CoM, but such airplane won't decrease pitchrate naturally.
    At high AoA both lift and drag are higher, so if CoL is in front of CoM it'll pull airplane's nose back and upwards, increasing AoA even further, which will eventually lead to stall or uncontrollable spin.
    If CoL is behind CoM, it will pull tail away from direction of flight, so airplane will be pretty stable, but if CoL will be too far from CoM you won't be able to control it.
    In real life getting center of lift is not that easy, so usually it's recommended to get center of mass around quarter-chord behind midpoint of leading edge.

    How do i make a slick or at least cohesive fuselage? I see some incredible stuff on here and want to leave my own work on the table.

    I can't really say much about it. Fuselage is 28-sided (circular ones are 24-sided), in newer versions you can "slice" specific part from it with four planes. Greater ones are using hollow fuselages as plating (e.g. screenshot from this post), but it will require either a lot of time or geometry knowledge and calculator to align them properly.

    Also, what the heck do upvotes do? And do i spend points to give them?

    They do nothing but they're used in rating, both for crafts and users. You don't need anything to give one.

  • This old post holds the secret to recovering BogdanX's lost aircraft 7 months ago

    Well, i don't really understand how to get that index. It appears to be related to time (or rather number of crafts uploaded), last uploaded one (X0Zk6W) uses 1289, 0BFd5E from two days ago uses 1288, Maxwell from 8 months ago uses 1185.
    Knowing that you can use brute force to try all possible indexes (looks like there's no rate limit) but it takes a lot of time and i feel bad about it.

    async function get(airplane_id,minIndex,maxIndex){
    lnk=&quot;https://jundroo.blob.core.windows.net/simpleplanes/GameData/aircraft/_I_/&quot;+airplane_id+&quot;.xml&quot;
    if(minIndex===undefined){minIndex=0}
    if(maxIndex===undefined){maxIndex=2048}
    var res=-1
    async function tryLoad(i){
    try{
    await fetch(lnk.replace(&quot;_I_&quot;,i.toString()))
    .then((resp)=>{if(resp[&quot;status&quot;]==200){res=i}})
    }catch(err){return}
    }
    for(i=minIndex;i&lt;=maxIndex;++i){
    await tryLoad(i)
    if(res!=-1){return res}
    }
    }

  • This old post holds the secret to recovering BogdanX's lost aircraft 7 months ago

    https://jundroo.blob.core.windows.net/simpleplanes/GameData/aircraft/728/cGGD1h.xml

    The last part (cGGD1h) is obviously aircraft id, but i don't understand what 728 means here and just letting it as-is doesn't works.
    So to use it you need id of craft (which is not a thing everyone memorizes) and some number of unknown purpose (which might be id of archive or folder stored internally just for faster indexing).
    So yes, "jundroo forgot to delete aircraft files" sounds cool but doesn't really sounds useful for now. (for crafts that were not deleted there's standard api, https://www.simpleplanes.com/Client/DownloadAircraft?a=ID)

  • Help me to improve avionics 7 months ago

    smooth(sign((input-current)+rate(input-current)*D),
    P*abs((input-current)+rate(input-current)*D))

    SP forum doesn't displays full line, so it's split with linefeed.
    It's a form of PID, P is gain, D is dampener
    It's always clamped between -1 and 1, and will perhaps be 1 at the level start.
    It's generally not proportional to input and it's not suitable for rockets|TVC, but it works fine with control surfaces.
    For high-speed airplanes, don't forget that airplane's behaviour changes with airspeed.

  • G limiter 7 months ago

    Try to increase D gain of PID to make it work correctly at some specific speed
    Then add /max(1,pow(IAS/X,2)) to the end of code, X here is speed at which it works correctly (in meters per second).
