@SlimSimpy It would require resizing the cockpit and I understand that would be quite difficult to do without access to SPVR. You are a talented builder and it would be something you could consider for future builds. Ensure you are keeping flight controls (ie - throttle, flight stick, chair) at 100% scale and use that as a basis for the scale of the cockpit.
Beautiful airplane. I checked this out in VR tonight and unfortunately, the cockpit is too small for VR, but the airplane is awesome. Nice work. Would you ever consider tweaking for VR?
Thanks for updating this great old craft for VR. Some things I noticed while flying in VR that could improve the experience:
1) The gauges don't work correctly. Ensure you are selecting the Preset you want and not Face Type from the gauge's part properties.
2) The yoke's bindings won't allow me to fire weapons so I end up recentering the camera instead.
3) It would be nice to have a button to cycle targeting modes in the cockpit.
If you make those tweaks, tag me on the post and I'll review it for curation again.
This is a nice build and has potential. I'd like to curate for VR, but it really needs a VTOL slider in the cockpit so a VR player can adjust the angle of the thrusters in VR.
@jamesPLANESii I would also suggest increasing slerpMaximumForce on ControlBase via Overload and see if that helps to stabilize the joint. Not sure what setting would be best, but you could try increasing until it seems to help stabilize. (I wouldn't suggest going above 400000.)
@AWESOMENESS360 Yes, it's working now and this craft is now curated. The only thing now is the throttle cylinder grip is backward and you can see that in the hand preview in the designer. Not a big deal at all, but something to keep in mind for future VR builds. Thanks for updating the XML. I'm glad to be able to fly it now in VR. It's an awesome airplane!
This is a great craft and I'd love to curate for VR, but there doesn't appear to be a way to control the angle of the rotor systems in VR. I think I have to activate an AG and then use VTOL on the analog stick, but for curation we really need a button and some sliders in the cockpit tha the player can reach out and interact with. If you make those tweaks, please tag me on the post and I'll review it again for curation.
Thanks! I tweaked the XML to adjust the bindings on the joystick so the VR player could fire weapons while gripping the joysticks. Thanks for updating this awesome old craft!
@SnoWFLakE0s so, does that mean challenge accepted? You are a wizard with funky trees so that would be entertaining to see what you come up with. Do you have SPVR?
@ACheGuevera I’m glad you are enjoying the game! The Oculus Quest version will not support mods, unfortunately. It’s an Android platform so it has the same limitations that prohibit the Google Play and Amazon version from running mods.
@JoshuaW
1. I'm not sure, but I wouldn't expect it to hurt performance much.
2. I'll add this to a list of enhancements for AI craft. We do need to give them some more love at some point.
3. I don't know if there's a limit. Of course, performance will worsen as you add more variables, but it's hard to say by how much. I don't think 100 variables would be much of a problem for most devices.
Thanks for the suggestions.
@COMPASS curated means your craft will show up in SimplePlanes VR for players that are not logged in. If they log in, then they can see non-curated crafts.
@MrShenanigans There's no way to play SPVR without a VR headset. The Quest is actually a mobile device running Android and it is using the same quality settings that you will find on any other Android device. So that's why the water doesn't look as good on Quest as it does on PC.
@ren64 v1.12 is now released on all platforms so you should be able to update for free anytime. Check the about page to see what version you are running.
@Bellcat We're still going to be curating for a little while, so they still have an important job. Just make sure to let us know when you make a new craft. I love your Atlas!
If you enjoy SimplePlanes VR, please consider leaving a positive review on the store where you bought it! It really helps to keep the Jundroo Machine running!
This craft has a lot of potential. It just needs some sliders/levers in the cockpit so that VR players can control throttle and collective in VR. If you ever add that, let me know and I'll check it out for curation.
Nice cockpit. There are a few issues preventing me from being able to curate: the flight stick does not work in VR. The throttle and trim levers intersect each other when throttle is at 100%. The air speed gauge is not working correctly. Ensure that you are selecting the Airspeed Gauge Type and not Face Type. If you make those tweaks, tag me on the post and I'll review it again for curation.
Nice build! I would like to curate it, but there's one small issue. When you push the throttle in, it disappears into the dash. If you could move it out a bit or maybe switch to a fighter throttle on the left panel then I'd be happy to review it for curation. If you decide to make that tweak, tag me on the post.
Nice craft. The VR experience for this craft could really be improved if the seats were moved back a bit and if the flight stick and throttles were 100% scale. If you make those tweaks, tag me on the post and I'll review it for curation.
Fun little build. I went ahead and curated this for VR, but the throttle is partially embedded in the panel on the left. Also, it gets really squirrely on takeoff.
@Bellcat XML updating is really just intended for small tweaks. If you're craft's appearance changes drastically you should probably just make a new post.
@Davis Your craft XML has been updated with the tweaks. Now that you are a silver, you can update your craft's XML if you ever want to make any tweaks.

@LotusCarsSub This can actually be done now with the new joystick base part.

Nice build. Only feedback from VR that I have is the yaw lever placement is too close to the throttle and can be hard to use.
Any plans for an update to this build with a VR-optimized cockpit? :D
@JoshuaW lol, wow, that thing is just raw, hovering destruction in a tiny, Christmas-colored package!
@poenix yep :)
@SnoWFLakE0s so, does that mean challenge accepted? You are a wizard with funky trees so that would be entertaining to see what you come up with. Do you have SPVR?
@V I’ll give an extra 250 points for landing on a destroyer.
@SimpleDynamincs thanks!
@ACheGuevera I’m glad you are enjoying the game! The Oculus Quest version will not support mods, unfortunately. It’s an Android platform so it has the same limitations that prohibit the Google Play and Amazon version from running mods.
@poenix yep, updating the XML does cause the screenshots to disappear for a few minutes.

@se34ruy but now you can edit tags while your post is unlisted before publishing.
@ren64 are you playing SP or SPVR? What kind of device and what OS are you using? When does it crash?
@MrShenanigans There's no way to play SPVR without a VR headset. The Quest is actually a mobile device running Android and it is using the same quality settings that you will find on any other Android device. So that's why the water doesn't look as good on Quest as it does on PC.
@Captiandaves lol, glad to hear it...I think?

@Vincent :D
@OldBomber No, purchasing SPVR on Steam will also unlock VR mode on the Steam version of SimplePlanes.

@Hedero You're welcome! Thanks for making great stuff! I love checking out your VR builds!
@V See my comment just below yours.
@Hedero Okay, I have updated your XML. I just swapped the rotators in the yoke setup with joystick bases and I moved the camera forward a bit.
@Hedero if you think what I did looks okay, then I can update your XML for you.
No, sorry, but you can't pick stuff up like that.
Nice build. Only thing that seems a little off in VR is the fighter throttle is too large so the player's hand sinks inside of it when grabbing it.
Curated
No, sorry, curation just means your craft will be accessible to players in SPVR. We have about 150 curated crafts right now.
I'd like to curate it, which means that it will show up in the airplane browser inside SimplePlanes VR so players can download and play it in VR.
Nice cockpit. There are a few issues preventing me from being able to curate: the flight stick does not work in VR. The throttle and trim levers intersect each other when throttle is at 100%.

@Bellcat XML updating is really just intended for small tweaks. If you're craft's appearance changes drastically you should probably just make a new post.
@AWESOMENESS360 Once it's curated the title and description can't be changed, so we should probably change that beforehand.
Yes, but you'll also need to edit the URL parameter in the XML. If you tag me in the unlisted post I can swap the XML for you on this post.
@Davis Your craft XML has been updated with the tweaks. Now that you are a silver, you can update your craft's XML if you ever want to make any tweaks.
@EchoWhiskey11 If you decide to fix the buttons you could update your XML on this post and tag me and I'll mark it as curated.
