I’m actually in a DaVinci Unit in Art atm, and I saw this very tank in our notes! Very cool concept, it actually seems like something that in it’s era, could’ve been pretty effective at wreaking havoc.
@Gluck funny you say that, I literally just got home from school at the time posting this comment, and every day after school I check the mailbox. You would’ve killed me. Unless of course, it wasn’t armed properly, or it was just a shitty pipe bomb.
@X99STRIKER well it helps to realize, literally what is someone gonna do. This is the SimplePlanes website, it’s not like we’re on 4Chan or something. Also, you’d be entering my house, my territory. You find yourself in an unfamiliar environment, meanwhile I know this place like the back of my hand.
Some of those screenshots look like actual images, those shaders combined with how smooth the new update makes everything is absolutely beautiful. This game, when really pushed to its full potential, just absolutely crushes most other reputable flight sims.
See, now doesn’t this look nice? Why can’t this be a normal addition to the game, with the ability to turn them on and off via the graphics settings, it’d make the entire world of SP seem so much more alive.
The MOAB Massive Ordnance Air Blast has roughly 18,700lbs of explosives at its disposal. If this aircraft here is carrying 98 MOAB’s, then your aircraft has a payload of roughly 1,832,600lbs of explosives, which doesn’t exactly make sense but jESUS CHRIST-
Wdym by formation light halos? Like the halo effect on beacon lights? Cause if that’s what that is I think the entire community would gladly rather keep those
@_PolarSpirit well their’s is a “Mass Driver” and mine’s a Coil Gun, so neither is a Railgun. But if I were you, I’d go with the Chimera. 350mm of iron tearing through the air at over 20,000fps might as well be the end for anything it hits.
Right now wait just one damn minute you iron deficient clown, don’t go narking on me and praising yourself for being better, you gotta back your stuff up with actual lore and explanations as to why something is completely insane, otherwise you just sound like a Mary Sue. Cool build, but PyrhPan shan’t be mocked.
What color is the square? If it’s green, you should have no problem targeting it. If it’s blue, it’s identified as friendly, preventing you from locking onto it.
@ManManTheWeaponsMan take advantage of the intricate designs and details on some of the parts in SP, mainly parts in the Gizmos and Engines section. These parts, when scaled nicely or positioned in a creative way, can have wonderful effects on your build. Rotator notches can be used to look like radiators, or some other corrugated surface. Winches can be used to look like coils, like I’ve demonstrated here. Engines can even be used as cooling fans, there’s no limit as to what you can conceive in this game!
This is super cool, the different looking wings are awesome. Also just a question about the actual F-104, since I’ve seen so many people say different things about it, was it actually ridiculously maneuverable and incredibly agile, or was it straight as an arrow and didn’t maneuver all that quick?
@Sjwnwbwnjwjwjjw when this plane was made, roughly 6 years ago, it absolutely shattered all boundaries previously thought to limit builds in this game. This aircraft, while it may be sub-par for today’s standards, was completely insane for what it was when it was made; it has custom 3D Wings, a custom cockpit with an actual interior, which was almost never seen on the website if at all, it has custom landing gear, another thing that was rarely seen, and the build’s visuals are, for a build from 6 years ago, incredibly blueprint accurate. This is in fact the plane that destroyed all boundaries of SimplePlanes.
The reason why it has over 1,300 upvotes today is purely for meme value; back when it was posted, it got around 400-500 upvotes within a few months, and then it lost its popularity, only being upvoted once or twice here and there. But roughly two years ago, the build was gaining more popularity again, as the community was much larger - we decided that the only appropriate response was to get this thing to hit 1,000 upvotes, which we absolutely smashed that milestone. Anything beyond that is solely because you can upvote whatever you want, regardless of criteria.
To summarize, this plane obliterated all limitations of the game when posted, got a shit ton of upvotes. Years later, people wanted it to hit 1,000 upvotes, purely for the fun of it. Now it occasionally gets upvotes here and there since then, which have added up to 1,348 at the time I post this comment.
This update is freakin amazing. This cockpit here, before the update, would’ve easily been over 2,000 - 3,000 parts, no doubt at all. Now, something even more detailed than this can be made with less than a few hundred. The progress this game has seen throughout its six-ish years of existence is one of the most incredible timelines of video game advancement I’ve ever seen.
I’ve tried making gears before, using spheres that have their dimensions edited via Overload seem to work very nicely, as their hit box is actually accurate to it’s shape
Honestly the YF-23 should’ve won the ATF Competition, it was stealthier, had longer range, could carry the same weapons capacity, and in a situation like this, speed and maneuverability absolutely do not matter, seeing that you’re gonna be dealing with missiles that can lock on from well over visible distance. At that point, it’s a dangerous game of countermeasures and attempts to evade. Now if we put the F-22 and the YF-23 in a dogfight situation, within very close proximity to each other, I imagine the F-22 would easily prevail, seeing how ridiculously maneuverable it is. Now if we want to really talk about maneuverability, we can all take a gander at the SU-57, and it’s thrust vectoring capabilities in all axis of direction. But that’s another story.
While on the topic of Overload, does anyone know that input on the aircraftCollisionsResponse value that makes it so that parts don’t explode, but they just detach instead?
@rexzion yeah! No more planes blowing up 30 seconds after they actually crash, or situations where someone lands and they appear to sink into the ground before resurfacing a couple seconds later.
@edensk unfortunately, an official MP may likely never be added to the game, as sad as that is. Then again, if some random mod creators can take this game and make it multiplayer compatible, who’s to say the Devs can’t do it themselves in a much more streamlined fashion? Who knows!
Aight, let’s see what we’re working with. Woah, nice forum post.
Not about SimplePlanes or aviation at all,
Describes a random thing about your day,
Complete lack of punctuation,
OP treats it like it’s completely normal,
Obviously not their first time doing this,
Yep, I’d say that’s a pretty good forum post. Good job kiddo.
@Numbers2 honestly I’ve had the same question about Inuyasha8215, their build quality isn’t exactly bad per se, but the amount of upvotes they consistently get on very simple builds is a little suspicious. Like some of their builds just barely have enough features to be recognizable, but the upvote count is almost always in the 30-40’s, sometimes even higher than that. I wonder if it’s the same case with KoR, but I have a feeling any further investigation would just get me banned or something.
Hmmm, tons of very quick and shoddily made builds, all of which posted with only a day in between, possibly even just a few hours in some examples. The same few people seem to be upvoting them every time, ± a couple here and there. And they’re almost at Platinum rank, after just 9 months on the website...

@RamboJutter good lord that thing has a tight roll rate, I’ve never seen a video of it flying before so that’s pretty cool
@ManManTheWeaponsMan like I said, the anatomy isn’t exactly the most plausible thing in the world

Looks like a crane fly
As hilarious as it is to watch the plane launch itself into the air after its prop barely touches the ground, that really needs to be fixed lol
