I know that RocketWeapon has this attribute called "burnTimer" (integer, seconds) which sets for how long the rocket has thrust, after the timer runs out, the rocket will just fall (the smoke and afterburner effect remains). (If you check out my Sturmtiger, it uses this feature to make the mortar effect)
It seems by your video, that missiles probably also have this attribute, even tho not controllable by xml editing (I tested it, doesn't work).
But, they have an attribute called "maxFuelTime" (integer, seconds) which is pretty much the same but with one difference: when maxFuelTime runs out, the smoke and afterburner effect also stops.
That's all I know about this, I hope it helps
@Simps I highly recommend NOT to do so. They either might be virus links that download malware to your device, or (judging from the urls) male genitalia enlargement, and other more or less sexually oriented product advertisements and scams that I also don't recommend clicking on.
Go to the users section and look around at page 8000 and upwards, you'll find plenty of users with random codes of numbers and letters as their names and 0 points. If you click on those, they'll have suspicious links in their bios (dont click them, might be viruses) and nothing else, now those are bots, there are plenty of them. Example Example2
Designer:
Ctrl+M = Mirrors certain parts
hold Ctrl when rotating the camera with the left mouse button = you won't accidentally move some parts.
Ctrs+S = hot key for saving, save often, there is nothing worse than losing work
Also I'm not sure if Fine Tuner or some other mod adds it or is it in by default but Y turns on X-Ray
Flight mode:
F1 = Cockpit View
F2 = Chase View
F3 = Orbit View
F4 = Flight View
F5-F8 = custom cameras (f you have more than 4 cameras on your build, you can switch between them with 'V')
F9 = Hide HUD
F10 = Self Destruct the plane.
Mouse Right click turn ON joystick control for the mouse
As for mods:
- Multiplayer Mod
- Designer Suite
- Upload With Screenshots (Tho there are better ways to upload nice thumbnails but upload with screenhots is a good first step)
- Colour Editor
- Tracks 2 if you like to build tanks and other tracked vehicles
- Ocean if you like ship stuff
- Underwater Camera (only if you didn't install Ocean mod, because the two mods dont work too well together)
Amazing! I've been looking forward to this mod a lot!
I found a little bug where if I go underwater with the camera and then back, the weather changes to heavy fog. I figured out that the Underwater camera mod causes it and disabling it solves the problem
@Along2005 Hello. The Missouri is a great ship but my problem with that request is that there are dozens of USS Missouri replicas on the website already and I usually aim for more unique builds that are either rare on the website or haven't been built before at all.
Sorry. But if you have any other ideas, please let me know :)
I think youl shouldn't add vegetation. This way it gives a wartorn city feeling, but with vegetation it would feel more like a post apocalyptic city and I think the former would be better
Eternal Darkness upvotes my posts quite often, but I see other mods upvote as well. As for devs, Andrew Garrison upvoted 2 of my posts but apart from those, I didn't see any other upvotes from him or other devs
@AsteroidAsteroidTheBook they are fictional US battleships: The one with the hull is already finished and uploaded. It is based on cancelled class of US super-dreadnoughts, the South Dakota (1920) class (which had no ship planned to be named USS Kansas)
(A fictional battleship named USS Kansas was recently added to the game World of Warships but there are a few differences between that rendition and the one uploaded to SP.com)
The ship without the hull seems to be the USS Vermont, which is a fictional ship that was recently added to World of Warships. (This ship never existed either)
(The reason it is just a deck is because it's still WIP I guess)
Both ships are WW1 superdreadnought designs, equipped with WW2 refits
@DILOPH weird, I just tested it yesterday before writing that comment:
I have 2 emails registered, one is set as the main email, the other is a secondary but the secondary is the one I use on the SP website. I changed the pic for the secondary and waited a few minutes and it did change so I really don't know what could be the problem for you, sorry :(
If you have several emails registered on gravatar, make sure that the one you are changing the pfp for is the same email that you use for SP. It also takes a few minutes for it to change
@EternalDarkness I just have more questions now lol
What does Sticky Post do? (I'm guessing that's the featured button but Im not sure)
What' does mod notes do?
What does Investigate User do? (That also brings up another question I've been thinking on for a while now: Do mods see unlisted posts?)
@EternalDarkness Now you actually got me curious about how does the website's UI look like for a moderator. Is it very different from a normal user's UI or just small stuff?
Since I installed the beta, my game almost always (around 90% of the time) crashes when I alt+tab out. The game works fine, then I alt+tab out to check something, then when I want to go back with alt+tab, the game just doesn't respond.

"Must not be starting from a spawn on Maywar*"
Did you spawn on a custom spawn location on Maywar or spawn on a custom/default spawn location at another island and then fly to Maywar?
My idea: the Tag Button
Basically, there'd be a button next to the follow button on every forum/video post, which you can press/activate. Doing so will send you a notification when that user uploads a new public build upload but only once and no more (after the user whose tag button you pressed uploads something, the tag button would go back to inactive and pressing/activating it again would restart the whole thing and again send you a notification if that user uploads again) How it would work in practice:
User 1: uploads a teaser forum post for a build
User 2: presses the tag button on this post (when visiting other posts created by User 1, User 2 would see the tag button be activated as well. It can be activated/inactivated on any of User 1's posts)
User 1: uploads another teaser (maybe a video post this time)
User 2: doesn't get a notification because it's not a public build post
User 1: uploads the teased build as unlisted
User 2: still doesn't get a notification because the post is not public
User 1: publishes the build (alternatively, if he/she uploads it as public in the first place instead of the unlisted+publish combo, User 2 would get the notification immediately)
User 2: finally gets a notification about the post. His tag buttons on User 1's posts go back to inactive
User 1: uploads another public build post
User 2: doesn't get another notification because he/she didn't reactivate the tag button on any of User 1's posts
I know it sounds kind of confusing but I hope it's understandable enough and I think it would work. Basically it's just a one time Follow button that only notifies when the next build is uploaded after it was pressed and then needs to be pressed again.
I think this could be an effective way to improve the website and to counter mass tagging.
@UWUSEMPIE Currently, the WIP Abrams uses the tracks mod but if there's a demand I might as well make a modless version (same goes for the M1074 and the Leopard 2 builds).
As for the Tiger rework, the whole point of that build will be to make custom tracks for it (while also improving some other aspects)
@MemeLordMASTERMEMES A friendly little advice: you can only tag maximum 3 people in one comment, the rest of them won't get the notification, make separate comments with 3 tags in each to properly tag everyone you want ;)

What game is this?
@WhyAreYouReadingThis I rolled my Nvidia drivers back to an earlier version that I knew worked. You can search up drivers for your system >>here<<
This or this, use whichever you like more (or both).
If non-plane builds are allowed too, then you could try this as well
Awesome! Tag me please when it's released :D

@DafaARK before the 1.8 update, this is how "the real one" looked like and trust me, this build is 1:1 scale to that
@WereOutOfNamesArentWe Yep
@BagelPlane Yeah me too, but who knows, maybe in a future update we'll get one. Let's submit a user voice about it or something and hope.
