Dang bro, I remember when you were a bronze rank yapping about some creepypasta and nobody really knew what to do with it. Here we are, both platinum except you have almost double my points. Congratulations on the journey
You know what would be cool?
A contest to get to be one of the stock vehicles in the game. People could build their best possible aircraft, and the winners could be ported into SP2 as the defaults (think Pigpen, Kicking Fish, Etc.) It's kind of a win-win as the community gets fun and engagement, and Jundroo gets hype for the upcoming game as well as free content to put in said upcoming game.

edit 2: nvm Andrew stole my spot and they don't have to do it :(
@Boeing727200F even if you download it on another places wifi the Virtual Power Nugget doesn't work? Like if you use your phone hotspot to install it onto your device?
@Theinfinite that's the problem right there. The game isn't smart enough to just recognize 3D models as things that the game can use, if that was the case you wouldn't need a computer to mod SP in the first place. Here's a video I made that shows you how to make a mod map, I understand that's not what you're trying to do but this should give you a rough idea of the process that's required. https://www.simpleplanes.com/Videos/View/1918683/SimplePlanes-modding-tutorial
@Graingy in America we drive tractors from the womb!
Only slightly joking. I do recall sitting on a grandparent's lap and steering a tractor at maybe 4 or 5 years old.
When you create a mod it should iirc create two files, a .SPMOD and a .SPMODINFO file. You'll need to upload the SPMODINFO file before it will let you upload or link to the .SPMOD file. It should be in the same file folder as the normal .SPMOD file.
I believe this is to prevent people from uploading mods that they did not create.
Also, aren't you on Android?
@Graingy
1. Yeah it would be impossible for them to trace it back to you based on file alone.
2. When you hit the "start creating mod" button in the mod tools tab.
3. yeah there's a gazillion ways to do it, just find a file hosting service you like and you can link to it.
4. Yeah the f1 means "final release" or something like that, it is the correct version.
Ok respectfully you have 2000 points, there are literally thousands of people with more and no one really cares. The forums are not meant for stream of consciousness stuff. It's weird that it got taken down as this is not explicitly stated in the rules, this is hardly a super egregious offense but still, an announcement for a trophy at an arbitrary value (like not even a predefined points milestone, bruh just wait until 5K) is not something that the average person cares about. So to be fair I understand why you would be upset but I think you need to take a step back and realize that to most people other than you that post was pretty insignificant. Heck, I've done it, we've all done it, but calling people a nazi for taking down your post is a bit uncalled for. Also gonna nitpick you a little bit, free speech is not one of the "unalienable rights" in the Declaration of independence, we're talking about Life, Liberty, and Pursuit of Happiness. The government cannot take away your free speech, but places like this can. in this instance to keep from clogging up the forums.
I do really hope none of this came across in a negative way, just trying to be a bit more subjective here and see why people's opinions aren't lining up with yours.
PS threatening to leave does nothing, you already bought the game and they only get ad revenue if you're logged out
@Graingy
okey dokey then,
1. It doesn't save any data beyond things that you manually enter (i.e mod name, your username, etc.) and stuff like date created. You can also scrub typical file metadata like date created with some website or something if you're paranoid.
2. Basically if you get the title of the mod wrong when you're starting to make it you can't change it.
3. Yeah you just have to drop a link to a google drive, dropbox, or similar. The site can host files if they're small (iirc its anything under 2 mb) but most mod maps will be above that limit. If you're paranoid about this, set up a google drive account with a burner email from like emailondeck or something.
4. Nothing has changed to my knowledge, you do need a specific version of unity but that should be available for download.
It is actually super easy to do.
I made a tutorial a while back that should give you the information you need , here's a link https://www.simpleplanes.com/Videos/View/1918683/SimplePlanes-modding-tutorial
Also I know your hardware is very much capable of this, I used to use a laptop that I know for a fact is significantly worse than what you use.
(also holy crap my voice was so high pitched back then)
I'm not active anymore but I would be happy to answer any questions if you need help with it
@Graingy It's not a scam, it's a way to create a currency to allow the Graingy company to better serve the people. it is a highly volatile currency that the Graingy company can create artificial demand for, then they can dump their stockpile of it at that in-demand price in order to uh make more currency available. Yeah. Any lucrative profits are purely coincidental.
@windshifter1 afaik LevelsPlus just straight up increases contrast on everything. I'd try disabling that or at the very least trying to tone back the effect. If you're using LevelsPlus for some other reason, or this just isn't working, use a different preset with a higher priority to lower contrast or straight up edit the image in literally every editing software ever made. I threw that last one in the Windows default image viewer thingy and put it at -90 contrast and it was perfect.
also in my last comment I accidentally said saturation instead of contrast, my bad
Zoom mod and right clicking+dragging your mouse with the game paused and the UI hidden (F9) is the most important thing. Then Reshade, then mods. I have a Reshade tutorial if ya need it.
It looks great but that saturation is way too high. Try toning it back a little bit. That last picture looks quite good except for how weirdly dark the plane is. If this were a night/sunset shot it would be perfect but direct daylight is weird. Gives off crusty vibes on what are otherwise very well put-together images. I would like to compliment the framing and composition of these screenshots, that's one part of your skills that I have seen improve quite a bit.
@SILVERPANZER Yeah you stepped up the quality quite a bit since then, great job on the stuff in general

@Someguywhomakesmods mod tools are at this link, for some reason that's a direct download link so when you click on it the files will just download
@Someguywhomakesmods I really don't want to have to get Unity all set up and everything, I'll give you help and advice if needed though.
@Boeing727200F also Edge has a built in VPN that you might wanna try

@Theinfinite wait so you're saying you downloaded a 3d file and then just changed the extension to .spmod and .spinfo?
@Theinfinite what do you mean it doesn't upload? You're going to have to be a bit more specific.
@Theinfinite Ok, explain why it's not working and I'll see if I can help.
it could drive six years ago in some states
Looks really nice. My 3D printer unfortunately broke :(
