Be creative, think of a vehicle you always wanted to drive, or a vehicle you really really like. I can't really understand people who "run out of ideas" in simpleplanes, while I'm standing here with 10+ unfinished projects and ideas I haven't started building yet. Is it really that easy to not to know what you want to build in a game where you can build literally anything? But if you really can't decide, here's an idea:
Turn on the TV and build the first vehicle you see in it
Good luck! ;)
Awesome! Congrats to WNP78!
Also you should pick more modders into the team because some of them are making god level mods that should be in the vanilla game
Dude at least give some credit in the description to Weaverfish because he made the original plane

Holy Morgan Freeman. This is awesome! All those new features. Gosh... aaaaand looks like I gotta remake the USS Beast again * sigh *, but hey it looks fantastic and has new features! Amazing job guys! 😀
@Irobert55 actually, this isn't an RPG. The term 'RPG' (rocket propelled grenade) is only used to handheld weapon systems (e.g. Panzerfaust, RPG-7 etc.) This tank is officially a "Sturmmörserwagen" (assault mortar vehicle) and it's gun is designated as a Raketen-werfer (rocket launcher)
So yea this isn't a panzerfaust because that's the name of a handheld device.
@Jetliner101 The LVT-4 Water Buffalo was an amphibious tracked vehicle (LVT = Landing Vehicle Tracked) used mainly by the USMC (but the US Army used it too) during WWII. The LVT was able to carry troops, supllies and even smaller vehicle such as Jeeps. My build tries to represent the latter one. So yes, it a tank that swims and carries a Jeep which it can unload on land.
@JamesBleriot Yes, I hid seven types of viruses into this build, your device is full of malwares now.
Putting sarcasm away, what do you think can be the problem on my end? Or what do you think did I do wrong here? It's really funny that you blame me because your device is too weak to run this. Btw part count is not always a determining factor, size can be too. A 50 part build can crash a game too if it's big enough (I tried building a real size Statue of Liberty once and when I was at somewhere around 50 part, the game crashed cuz it was so big) so no, the problem is on your end, your device simply can't handle big stuff with many parts, that's it.
@ThePilotDude I fixed it now, the original sentence was supposed to be a small reference to the game 'Rising Storm 2: Vietnam' (which inspired me to make this) as in the game when a vietnamese soldier taunts he often shouts this.
Just letting you know since you are relatively new, that posts with misleading thumbnails are not allowed. The first thumbnail of a post has to be an ingame screenshot (small edits like adding text and such are allowed, but the base image has to be a screemshot from SP) so the moderators might remove this post if the see it. Nice job on the bus tho!
@Lwillswith2sentryguns thanks! to limit the speed, click on one of the wheels that are powered by the engine, open Overload and go to the ResizableWheel tab. there you will find a value named "maxAngularVelocity", you can use that to limit speed. Make sure to repeat this on all the wheels that are connected to the engine (you don't have to do it on wheels that are not powered)
Those comments are gone now. The website recently has become slower at removing content (probably a measure to make it less hard on the servers or something), I have seen several cases of plane- and forum posts recently where they were still accessible but already had the "Removed" label on them (and these posts were certainly removed by human moderators because I even saw the comments that the moderator left on them). Then a few minutes later, they were inaccessible.
So no, this is not the automoderator's issue (Andrew and the devs even explicitly stated that the automoderator will not remove anything, it will only flag potentially problematic content, but it's still the actual human moderators who do the removing), it's simply the website working somewhat slower (Im assuming it's by design, because otherwise everything else would be slower as well)
Edit: looks like it wasn't by design but an actual issue, my bad there
@RamboJutter Thank you! I'm glad you like it. I put a lot of effort into this and since this was a very small ship, I could affort to put even more extra details (check the kitchen below the bridge hehe). Many of the features like the walker guy are actually the result of small improvements over multiple projects in the past (for example the walker itself was first introduced on my Titanic Museum and then I kept adding small improvements to it on later builds. The idea to make figures that actually move like they are doing something is also a thing I first did many years ago on my Willy's MB and my Bf-109 builds). The book was necessary becuase this ship doesn't have a traditional engine order telegraph like other ships do so I had to find a creative way to allow the player to use the engines without actually having to use the VTOL slider because I'm aiming to make all my recent ships to be completely usable without needing any of the game's UI. If you turn off the UI with F9, you are still able to use all the features of the ships. Thanks for the support mate:)
@RamboJutter Ah I see, thanks for the heads up. He is a pretty strange fellow then, looks like he is trying to speed run to get a perma ip ban lol. But Im glad that his strange "hobby" at least brought my build to your attention:)
@LunarEclipseSP Also thanks for the quick summary:) let's hope the mods will deal with him soon
@LunarEclipseSP yup, launched in 1872, she was the first monitor type ship in Europe (she was directly inspired by the USS Monitor)
and fun fact, she is still around to this day
It can be done using XML editing. I'm not sure if it's possible on mobile (it probably is) but on PC, if you open the XML file of the build, at the very end of the file there are the lines of the color slots, you can simply copy and paste as many as you want below, then save the XML and reload the build in your designer and voila, there are more color slots.
While I'm not interested in building the thing in SP, I feel the need to correct/explain some details regarding the real ife project:
Titanic II is most likely never gonna happen, or even if it will, it'll certainly not happen by 2027. Clive Palmer (the guy behind the project) first announced it all the way back in 2012, and back then, 2016 was the projected launch date and it kept being delayed ever since due to constant financial difficulties. So that 2027 sailing date is unlikely to happen either. The closest we every got to an actual 'Titanic II' was the Romandisea Titanic, a static replica (the emphasis is on "static", this thing would have sat stationary inland, in a man-made lake, far from the actual ocean) that was to be built in a planned theme park in China. They completed most of the hull but iirc that one is also pretty abandoned at this point.
@Dissent3R It's lowkey one of the best, most detailed maps for cars and such, I hope SP2 will have at least one city that is at least close to as detailed as that mod
@LunarEclipseSP I initially had the idea to make this to be a sheriff car speicfically because of Cars but in the end I liked the highway patrol idea more. As for the Mercury 8 Coupe, for now I'm only doing ficitonal cars (with the exception of one planned car) albeit strongly inspired by real cars (for example, this one was mostly inspired by the Ford Crestline). Unfortunately, I dont find the look of the Mercury 8 Coupe too appealing to build something based on it, sorry:(
Awesome! I wish I could give more than one upvote to this beauty! Great job!

+2dude this isn't an UH-60, it's just a repainted UH-1 Huey. Also, you should give some credit to the original author.

+1I have been using flickr for years now, I had no problem with it so far so maybe give that one a try
