I believe that the rules only state that a plane will be removed if the thumbnail is misleading, so there’s not really any precedent. If it doesn’t show any fine details or colors guess that black-and-white images taken from a distance aren’t allowed. The only think I can think of is I vaguely remember a mod saying it did have to be a game screenshot and not a blender render but crazyplanes should have said that and not made it up retroactively after being told it was just a filter.
Mousepads are dirt cheap, high end ones from Kinetic Labs (pretty much the best soft pad money can buy) are like $30. If that’s out of range Razer makes decent ones for like $10. It also looks like you could stand a new mouse to go with it, maybe snag something like this
And yes, even for non gaming this stuff makes a huge difference. Heck with that Razer mouse you probably won’t need a mousepad, its optical sensor is pretty dang nice.
Also what software are you going to need to run for this degree? Wondering if this device is enough.
@Croozier Menu bar>airplanes>search lets you search everything on the site. It’s lowkey not the best and it’s kind of hidden away which is dumb but it can help you find stuff more quickly than making forum posts. Also the useful links forum post is pretty sweet.
@Kerbango well yes, I should have elaborated a little bit, but in short they’ve made a lot less than a couple million dollars off this game.
Although I kind of suspect that we’re seeing the stats for just Steam sales for the game, which will obviously be much lower than total sales across all
platforms.
@Graingy I can’t really think of any insecurities that might be brought up through joining a multiplayer server. The only stuff where you could have problems would be if you’re the person hosting the server, obviously there’s stuff like DDOSing but there could maybe be vulnerabilities in the server software that could mess your computer up. The server host might be able to see ip address and stuff but if you’re under a CG-NAT (Google it) or if you have a vpn there isn’t really anything they can do with that. Even if they can as long as they’re reasonably trustworthy you don’t have much to worry about, not much a person even with malicious intent could do with your ip.
Could be pretty easy actually, use activation groups to choose which limbs to manipulate then use trim and stuff to allow precise control of said limbs. Maybe include a little screen somewhere that shows precise rotation data for each limb so you can write down or screenshot your information for later reference.
I doubt this is intentional but the third image reminds me of the Halo maps from the old games. The Ambient Occlusion on that last one looks nice but goodness please improve that runway texture. Also huge shoutout for crediting the resources you've used to make this stuff.
Could you link to the exact PC you have?
CPU is the biggest thing that matters for SP. RAM is a close second. You can get 32gigabytes of DDR4 (the ram used for your specific motherboard/cpu platform) for about 70 bucks, while for CPUs you should save for something like a 5800x as raw clock speed is the biggest thing that matters here. I probably wouldn’t upgrade my GPU yet if SP runs ok on simple things, it’s kind of a potato game and even Reshade takes very little performance overhead. In general I can load up a simple plane and a complex one and my CPU utilization will spike but my GPU utilization will remain steady.
This stuff is probably a bit more in my wheelhouse than most other users on this site.
@Graingy if you decide to use music I would recommend Pixabay, it’s all royalty free and iirc doesn’t need a signup. I hadn’t heard that about Kevin Macleod, that’s actually kinda funny
@Mrcooldude he had the name before me but I didn’t know that when I made mine, total coincidence lol
@Mrcooldude dangit
@Graingy roasted
@Graingy are you so perpetually on Reddit that you know what this is?
Where’d all the time go by Dr. Dog.
How were we supposed to guess the song based on “ba ba ba”s?
Mad respect, reading other people’s FT code is super hard and I’ve never really been good at using PIDs.

@YarisSedan glad to hear it my guy! I’ll add you on Steam, what’s your username/pfp?

@X99STRIKER famous last words
Don’t try steering a submarine with it
Try using the search feature, there are respurces out there
@Graingy oh yeah I didn’t realize there was one called SP Gang dangit
join the alliance!
Seems pretty achievable honestly, if you just grind for 5ish years I think you could do it

@Graingy yoooo that’s a great idea
@Graingy you raise a good point, but still there’s not much to worry about even if everyone knows what your ip address is
Revenue minus staff wages and server/game fees
@Graingy exactly the same risks since that will most likely be p2p and not hosted on any official server

@EternalDarkness 🫡
Would the server software work on Linux with Wine?
@RepublicofKomi should be able to do that to the build I linked
It would appear as if the images that used to be here are broken.
@RepublicofKomi follow the guide here
It’s a lil tricky but it works.
Edit: the images don’t work anymore so the guide itself doesn’t work, but you can still dissect those wings and look at them.

Some music would have been advantageous but otherwise, quality video.
@SPWithLizzie the chosen time
@Hiiamhere nah the photography map thingy
Is that my map mod?
@WisconsinStatePolice I’m stealing the crap out of that
@RepublicofWrightIsles just saying that if realism is what you’re concerned about then making a whole forum post to discuss it is a smidge annoying
all this stuff is great, are the assets and stuff going to be in the mod tools?
One does not simply say that they don’t want nuclear fallout and make it go away.
Sounds fun but I unfortunately don’t have time in the near future, maybe try somewhere on Reddit?
@Dissent3R @YarisHatchback I missed it :/
