@Brields95 says who? I swear there’s kids my age on Reddit, one specifically on the hub, but I won’t name names. If kids my age are on social media like that, I’d say it’s perfectly acceptable for a 12 year old to be on SimplePlanes, lol
Oh boy, here we go...
If this post is for real, and it isn’t just a random sh*tpost for laughs, then please for the love of God and all things holy, let your son have a SP account! If he loves aircraft and aviation as much as we do, let him have this! If he wants to post his own aircraft creations here, let him! I understand you’re trying to be a safe parent, but there’s nothing worse than preventing your child from doing something they love, solely because of being overprotective. Also, seeing that this account is only an hour old, I can tell that you only made this account to ask this question in particular, so clearly you know how to set up an account as well as make a forum post, so I can only assume you’re familiar with technological related things. Going by this logic, I can also tell that you yourself aren’t exactly “afraid” of using the internet, so why should you apply that same fear in the form of a restriction to your child? It just doesn’t seem fair in my opinion, although I could be wrong. I have what I feel are overprotective parents, believe me, I’m all too familiar with the subject. Now I will ask, what are the rules like around your household? Does everyone follow these rules of monitored technology use? Or is it just the 12 year old? Are there any other children in the household, or just the one?
At this point, you may be reading this and thinking to yourself, “Boy, if this user is so triggered about what I’ve posted here, imagine what OTHER users would be like!!” If that’s the case, than you’d be wrong. The SimplePlanes community is one of the nicest I’ve ever seen, we’re all generally friendly to each other, we support each other’s creations and posts, and the moderators are generally fair and kind to us and one another. If you’re so afraid of letting your child have an SP account, consider the following: do you yourself use forms of social media, such as Reddit, Instagram, 9gag, or something else? If so, then you would know that people on the internet can and will be toxic or rude, but after being on SimplePlanes for a couple years at this point, I can only say that as far as I know, SimplePlanes has a very nice community, much nicer than most communities I’ve seen in social media. Sure, there are some pockets of toxicity here and there, but that’s the same with all communities. If you’re still uneasy about letting your child have an SP account after reading all this, then that’s your decision. Thank you for reading this, please consider what I’ve said.
@Ultahockey3 It really isn’t though, it’s more than 2,000 mph but it’s less than 3,000, I think it’s safe to say that we can make a ballpark estimate as to what it is.
@BuiltBionixInd10 Oh! I remember when I used to play PG3D, it used to be so fun to play, that is until unnecessary features were added to the game that made it practically impossible to get any good items and guns. It’s pretty much become a pay-to-win game at this point, there’s no actual skill involved, just your willingness to pay $50.00 on in-app purchases. Sad, but I knew it would happen eventually. If you like PG3D, I’m pretty sure I posted a somewhat accurate replica of the Prototype PSR.1 on my account, I’ll try to find it and send you the link lol
Awesome art man! It’s nice to know that now I can stick to SP to look at incredible works of art, instead of branching off to DeviantArt or Instagram or something, lol
I’m not the one who should judge whether a landing is good or not, I say that as long as the plane is in relatively one piece, and/or the passengers, not including the pilot are mostly unharmed, I say that that’s a good landing.
@RussianPLANEfighter360 The size of the explosion is directly tied to the size of the bomb; the larger you scale up the bomb, the larger the explosion will be!
What’s the missile’s top speed? I’ve been playing with this for a while, and I’ve tried to shoot down several aircraft with a ridiculously high top speed, and the missile was able to catch up to every single one!
@Datboi1234 I mean, the main reason why it has so many cameras is to increase camera quality; if you’re an avid photographer, but you can’t carry around a huge Nikon Professional Camera everywhere, then the iPhone 11 Pro-Max is perfect for you!
@SupremeDorian Oh, that makes more sense lol

@SupremeDorian huh, I guess the parent in this case kinda screwed over their kid by stating their age in this post then.
+1@SupremeDorian So your saying it’s “fine” as long as the user doesn’t specifically state that they’re underage or if they don’t hint towards it?
Welcome to highschool, we have “fun” here.
+3@SupremeDorian Well it must not be enforced very well, I got my SP account before I was 13, and things are fine lol
Oh boy, here we go...

@Treadmill103 If you feel the need to bomb something then maybe you should call a doctor.
Or a psychiatrist.

+1Do you want some
Spit Facts?
What in the Hot Kentucky Fried F*ck did you bring upon this cursed land...
Awesome art man! It’s nice to know that now I can stick to SP to look at incredible works of art, instead of branching off to DeviantArt or Instagram or something, lol
+1@BuiltBionixInd10 Pretty cool, I like the 8-Bit design of the gun, unless that was unintentional?

+3Absolutely off the sh*ts
Juiccy
This is it. This is the one. The greatest post in all of SimplePlanes.
Now THIS
+3is a epic gamer moment.
@JamesBleriot Sure, if you want to
How’d you remove the muzzle flash on the ejection cannon? This is awesome!
This is what you call a work of art.
+2@BogdanX Pretty ironic considering this is the simplePLANES community, apparently we’re all just here for the memes.
+2It really looked like you had that for a while, rip
It’s funny af to spawn in like 20 of these guys and just watch them angrily chase you lol
+1@SledDriver Yeah, I can’t say that’s the first thing that would come to the mind of a developer creating a flight simulator.
How did you make this thing literally crash proof? It’s awesome!!
@PJTheHappyPuppy that's the spirit!
@Shippy456 I mean that when I try to pitch up or down it barely moves that much, and is slow to climb
Dude this is actually incredible, I’ve never heard of this before but now I’m intrigued lol
+1This is really cool! But the pitch isn’t exactly the best though. Or is it, and I’m just doing something wrong?
This is amazingly done! One question though, why does it levitate?
Say, ISIS, that’s a mighty fine convoy you got there, very impressive indeed!
It’d be a DAMN SHAME if something were to, I don’t know...
Happen to it.
+3This is super cool! The wing’s shape and how it expands/contracts reminds me of a Skipper Butterfly. Was it inspired in any way by this?
This is easily one of the funniest thing I’ve ever seen on SimplePlanes, it’s actually made pretty well too!
+1@Boeing7472 lmao ok
@Boeing7472 I was doing the tags, accidentally clicked artillery, but decided to just let it stay there because why tf not.

WHAT
Just realized that the yellow container is a scream-can from Monsters Inc.
+2@stig27 does it include overload?
@asteroidbook345 I can wait, don’t worry!
@SnoWFLakE0s So? I’m barely active anymore, and I rarely post lol.
@EliteArsenals24 That’s ok, I only tagged you and Stig27 because I know that both of you are good with XML Modding. You working on something?
@Stig27
@EliteArsenals24
If you’re willing to help, that’d be great!
@jamesPLANESii Oh god
@Datboi1234 every single one of those questions have answers that we probably don’t want to know.

@Tums Maybe you could make a spider or scorpion based crawler that serves some military purpose, or some sort of butterfly-like ornithopter!
