@PlaneFlightX i just use MS excel when doing math with the same equations repeatedly.
.
@Kangy you can download MS excel on android, too. Then open it in window mode while you open SP in full screen.
.
Excel is an excellent tool when doing calculations on repeat.
If you have a slow pc (like I do).. please use Medium Water instead of High.
The boat tends to bug out on High + Ocean mod + slow @ss pc
Edit:
i just realized that the boat turns unrealistically fast. IF you want to tone it down please find the shrunk down VTOL nozzle i used to counter-steer the boat. It is located slightly below where the Center of Mass (CoM) lines intersect. Change its Input to this:
(Roll < 0 ? 0.35 : 0) + (Roll > 0 ? -0.35 : 0)
Another note: some people reported ths boat is too bouncy on pc with Intel HD graphics when played without Ocean mod. Please set your game to run on a proper GPU or play with Ocean mod if your laptop doesn't have a GPU :)
@Gestour hi! I made this and its not as unsinkable as i thought it was on your Ocean mod. It was brutally tossed around flipped upside down in matter of seconds.
I'm making changes to it right now. Are you accepting revisions? If yes, should i delete the older post and post the new version?
@DerpTheSoyacfartala if your post has more than one topic then decide which is more important, use the tag for it and do a side mention of what other things you want to discuss
@QuitePossiblyMangled drama post gain attention because it has 10s of upvotes and comments plus they are usually the top post in the forums. Everyone who see such post (even if they have no opinion of it) will think the community is deteriorating.
.
Drama posts usually has the "feelings" tag. I would imagine that it can only benefit the community if the drama can be contained to those who read posts with this tag (the critics and supporters) while the general public is unaware such a thing is going on.
.
If your post has 2 topics then decide which one is important.. use the tag for it then do a side mention of the other topic.
If you click the link above to the categories page, you'll see that it is possible to sort the forums using the tags. BUT, its useless at the moment because we can put upto 5 tags in one forum post.

Also, by redirecting to the categories page instead of the default page which all posts with upvotes are given priority we can avoid categories that may contain drama posts.
@SyntheticL this bug comes from a cockpit with 0 drag and 0 mass. If you increase it to 1 or 0.5 the problem will go away.
.
If changing mass/drag destroys the balance of your plane then just re-balance it again.
Bagel's instructions are off a bit.
- you need beta 1.10.103
- this trick can make the first pic (which becomes the thumbnail of your upload) look really nice
- take a screenshot edit it with photoshop (if you want)
- go to blueprints mode in the designer -> use any view -> open the screenshot image
- now on the right side of the screen, you will see + - symbols for zooming in or out. press the - button multiple times until your plane disappears on the background. This works on planes of any sizes.
- on the left side of the screen you will see H and W adjustments for the pic size. Turn that up until it covers the entire screen.
- Don't move from here
- Click Share Aircraft and take a screenshot without moving the camera. You only need this first picture to grab attention for your plane in the website.
- take succeeding screenshots as normal if you want to
- upload as Unlisted
- go to your plane's page, edit the description to make it pretty. Add more screenshots of your plane.
- Publish
@Jauntyccmbr i edited my reply below to clarify it more..
.
a warning tho. If you edited your hinge's range of motion to nonstandard value (ie. numbers with decimals and ones that are not multiples of 5) you must not open its parts properties (the gear button). Doing so will reset the hinge back to standard value (no decimals, only multiples of 5)
@An2k there is no bug and your hinges work fine.
.
What you got wrong is saying min/max values can limit the hinge's range of motion if its floppy
.
Sorry OP this thread got derailed a bit
@An2k i tested your dummy from the link you posted... the elbow hinges cannot move at all because it lacks another hinge between the handlebars and the hands
@Jauntyccmbr rotate the hinge and the stuff connected to it by 22.5° and set its range of motion to 22.5° using overload.
Edit: With this, you can have 22.5° of motion in both directions resulting to a total of 45° in range of motion.
.
@An2k min/max value doesnt affect the hinge's range of motion if it is floppy.
Hey man, you must try using glass with negative transparency and create a wheel-like structures similar to the wheels in this old design. Also set collision response to None and add tons of health so they dont explode.
Auto track turrets has a problem of locking up when rotators have limited angle of rotation and you turn your aircraft too much.
. or maybe its already fixed by FT magicians....... but no one has uploaded any solutions yet so i believe it is still a problem

+1.

@EasternPatrick ahh yes, i have this keyboard to "improve" my GTA:SA game. I forgot that it could be used for SP (and any other app) as well.
They should bring back the crash dummy but this time it would have new features such as camera, uniforms/clothes selection and pose selection.
+2@Jester I was only able to test for 15 mins anyway (work is busy this week) so it may be possible that the Sunfish is just unlucky as you said.
Regardless, im not complaining since my other boat is included in the mod.
Finally got around to test this mod out. Its awesome!
Thanks for including my Westerly Wind. Tho i can't find my Sunfish. I wonder if its included in the mod too.
Looks nice!
It probably needs a pass (or two) with high grit sand paper just to smooth out the printing marks
+2I hate this vehicle in SA. Its hard to steer and cant catch up to OG Loc

It works alright on Android phones though.
@Gestour this one should be better than the last
@Gestour ok thanks!
Btw, your Ocean mod is brutal. I doubt anything that goes 45kph+, even on the smallest waves, can avoid going airborne. Loved it :D

Thanks! :D

Thanks!
@BogdanX
@EternalDarkness
@ThomasRoderick
Thanks!
@Gestour Thanks!
@BurkeAircraft1 you're gonna lob missiles at an unarmed civilian boat? :D
the end date of this challenge is April 1... something tells me you're up to something no good :D
I submitted a design just in case. tho, I can't test it out on Ocean mod because my laptop is busted rn.
@Urocyon thanks!
Get a hobby.. (this is a serious advice)
.
Woodworking and Gardening are hot right now where i live. I'm personally growing edible mushrooms
Set water to high?

Add mass and drag to cockpit

Try replacing the rotators at the base of the scarf with 2 winches.. it will make the scarf flap more vigorously
Guren and Lancelot plz..............

-.- you need to add descriptions.. just list down the controls would be ok

Aaaannd I was planning to sleep early tonight.
+3Thanks for the new update..
Is there another round of beta? Or the next release is the final version?
Please add explosionScale to rockets. While you're at it plase add maxForwardThrustForce and maxSpeed too..
+3Display driver has stopped working... goddamn it
+1Not cramped enough.. :) it looks very good!
What different on your airport compared to 1918's airport? apart from one is a mod and the other is a "plane"
How to retract the ladder? Edit: its disabling Activate# 8 lol
@BagelPlane springs usually bug out when collision response is set to None or DisconnectOnly
.
Try locking it with magnets...
Turn off drag on the entire landing gear assembly
+1Lol i lost 5 legs and the thing is still going
+1Simpleplanes is also sold in gog
