I'm all for giving credit where it is due, though at the same time, I personally don't mind if a newer player "steals" my build, In fact, I feel pretty honored that they experiment with them
At this point, I wish they were like: "I'm working on this canard check out the ft code I used" it's more like "[Insert forum spammer] factory explosion" and "I am about leaving my hotel", more like social media updates than a videogame forum
Ah yes, something not talked about often is pareidolia in planes, especially boeings, the 777 looks like an old tired dude, the 737 looks angry/strict while airbus planes generally look happy and/or unbothered
Here's a tip to scale your aircraft to correct size:
-This 777 is too long (115m) for a 777-300ER
-The length of the 777-300ER is 76m (iirc)
-Although this is too long, it is still geometrically similar to a real Boeing 777-300ER
-Therefore, since we want to scale it down to 76m, we divide 76 by 115
-This should be approximately 0.66
-We then go into the designer and scale the whole aircraft by 0.66
80% fun, 10% of the others
I know some "I don't care at all about points" people might go on a small rant, but I think it's nearly impossible to not seek a little validation from something like SP that has a whole ass "validation system" built into it. Its OK to want appreciation for your hardwork, at the same time however, you play mainly for yourself
Enjoy the game and dont build for upvotes, otherwise you risk entering a sort of paradoxical state; building solely for upvotes makes you tend to pump out lower quality builds more often as quantity is prioritised over quality, ironically leading to less of those upvotes that are so desired
That being said, I can understand why you may want more upvotes, as humans naturally seek validation for things they work hard on, even when they enjoy that thing for what it is and aren't just doing it solely for recognition.
Enjoy the game, upvotes will come naturally.
Edit: Also, I can't be the only one that prefers downloads over upvotes, lol
I've been on this site 2.4 years and still don't get why people leave because of "harassment" lmao I guess we're all different, and from what I hear, this seems like a net positive
His tanks are okay and all but if I'm being honest, the whole low self-esteem and "everybody hates me" thing is really just annoying and beginning to look like some strange attention-seeking, but, that's just my opinion on things, maybe I'm wrong, lol.
I had a small idea for SimplePlanes 2: What if there was a "Ghost System" where we could load pre-recorded flight paths into the map as AI traffic?
These ghosts wouldn't have collision or physics—just simple 3D replays of previously saved flights. They’d act like visual recordings, following the same movements without needing full AI or physics simulation.
This would be far more performance-friendly and effective than spawning fully simulated AI aircraft—though that could still remain as an option for those who want it.
I’m not very experienced in game development, so I’m not sure how feasible this is—but maybe someone who knows more can weigh in on whether it’s possible.
I feel like simplegooner is an amalgamation of different notorious users lol
