Alright, I’m gonna lift my silence on this and share what I know. He’s not banned. His SP, discord, and steam accounts have seemingly been disabled or deleted. A few friends and I have been trying to figure out what happened because he was posting normally on discord one hour and less than an hour later he just… vanished. Unfriended everyone on discord and left every server he was in so nobody can message him.
It’d be inappropriate to jump to conclusions at this time. What we do know is that he does have some mental health stuff that flares up from time to time, so this wouldn’t be the first time, but it’s never been like this. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t worried but at the same time he didn’t say anything at all before disappearing to suggest anything bad. Talking one minute and just poof gone the next.
Tl;dr he has seemingly vanished off the face of the internet with no obvious reason. We can only hope that he’s alright. I really do. CL, if you see this, let us know something man.
@Noama15
To answer your question, this project was done way before I learned to do cockpit interiors. Note I didn’t made the cockpit myself, the original creator, GalacticaAsia made the actual plane.
@TheD2O
Very much the same. I’ve since that last comment you responded to graduated from college and am now doing a job with animal care and education so I’ve been using my free time to do other stuff. As for my secret project, it’s not cancelled I’m just burnt out.
Oh and my computer is practically on its death bed so there’s that too…
@N908QD
Honestly I’ll give you points for the NG tail. This was in a time where I was still learning fuselage slicing but I couldn’t figure it out with the Southwest colors so I kinda just… let’s say ‘borrowed’ a part from another build since I didn’t think there’d be much difference between the classic and NG tailfins. Oh how wrong I was.
@Pan
Idk but judging from the amount of color codes in their username it sounds like someone who’s tired, depressed, and doesn’t have free time to work on their projects. A great mystery to be sure.
Title awoke a memory of some bad Syfy original film from like a decade ago. Mega Shark vs Mecha Shark or something…
I wish I could make these things up
@DatFiat126Guy19
Very busy. Regretfully I don’t get much free time so the project I’m currently working on… I uhhh… I haven’t made any real progress on in a hot minute :/
@787pilotthatsucks
The AP is just a gyro a friend helped me install because one of the ‘unusual flight characteristics’ I mentioned was that when trying to fly level at high altitudes, the nose would start to continuously push up and make control, let alone landing the damn thing impossible. The ‘AP’ just forces the aircraft back into level flight and keeps it level with the horizon, albeit it does this very quickly and violently…
Part of me has wanted to do a remaster using what I know now but I’ve been busy with a different project (at least when I have free time to use)
I did that way back when I was still learning things and tried to Frankenstein mash different wings and fuselage parts together which resulted in some very… unique flight characteristics.
@Mal0ne
Oh don’t get me wrong. While I absolutely can’t run this, this- this is more of a piece of art than anything else. To get 3000+ parts is an insane attention to detail… some might say too much
I actually froze up in complete shock when I saw the ‘sub 2000 part version’ link
Absolutely beautiful but holy crap the part count… I will wait for the day where there’s a sub 1500 part one but until then take my upvote.
Yep that did it, that puts mine to shame. Well done!
And now for the white ranks to come along and ask for a low part version to use in their YouTube Short ACI video…
@GRoblox
Unfortunately that’s way outside of my specialty. Also I feel like Kamata-kun would be difficult to make even if I did have the skills because it drags along the ground which would present a bit of a problem in controlling.
@RepublicOfCursedPlanes
Gonna agree partially with you there. For me, it’s the human aspect that interests me in not just aviation disasters but also maritime. Be that the small seemingly inconsequential chain of mistakes that lines up for something to happen, the lessons learned from the hubris of man, and the stories told by those who survived. In any such disaster you see such a wide range of humanity, from the heroes to the cowards.
@LM0418
If I see another ‘lifeboat 27b’ crash I’m actually just going to go completely feral and fully return to monke.
Edit: Actually no. I'm reverting all the way back to Tiktaalik and returning to the primordial soup.
@TheOfficalMarylander
I mean I wasn’t naming individuals. Pretty sure the one post we’re both thinking about was actually originally written by a different six year old and what was saw on the one post was just a copy/paste.
Perhaps I might not be the most… qualified person to post here considering all that I’ve posted in my time on the site but I’m still gonna give my two cents.
Honestly, I think it just boils down to kids being stupid. They don’t see the people killed in accidents as people who had lives, hopes, and dreams, but just as silly numbers, probably because they’re too young to grasp what that really means. It could also be a generational thing with some kind of ‘dark humor’.
I see a lot of the same shorts too. Either TFS or SP in nature, always with one of three stupid songs over it, misspelled captions on the video… I might be too old to understand it. The worst ones are the fictional crashes, the same old ‘Lifeboat Airlines’ or ‘Alright Airlines’ I see spammed in my feed again and again. Or god forbid some crap a 6 year old posted to the SP site about Banban Turbo Lines whatever the hell…
I appreciate you trying to bring this to attention and believe me I get your frustration. I get so many 'successors' that are literally just reposts with zero changes, just changes to paint color, or the worst being ones that are 'crash sims' where they only add detachers (and don't even hide them, they just take a part off, toss on a detacher, and crudely put the part back on).
To me personally though, it's gotten to a point where I'm just tired of reporting zero effort no change garbage and I don't really even report them anymore. Is it 'free game' once it's uploaded? Sure. Rules also stipulate though that several major changes have to be made to a successor to make it legitimate, and just throwing on a few detachers doesn't do that.
Either way, I've reached a point where I cannot be bothered to care anymore unless the person is trying to bypass the credit system. Otherwise I just let it go, better things in the world to get frustrated with. At its worst it's annoying in the same way when you're trying to swat a fly away and it keeps coming back. My advice, just ignore it. One way or another, you're gonna get to a point where you just get tired of it and just say 'screw it'.
@Blakeplayz
Appreciate the request but I’m afraid not. The globe livery has some very intricate design choices and replicating that in a way that looked clean and symmetrical would be very difficult. The stripes on the tail would also be difficult to do. I mean I could easily do it, but doing it in a way that allows that rudder to move is very hard.
I also really only do replicas of aircraft involved in incidents or accidents, generally those that are a little less well known. Worry not though, I got another thing cooking up right now as well as plans for a first ‘from the ground up’ project once I hit 10K points. Was hoping my most recent post would get me there but I’m unfortunately still short of that mark :/
@ReignSUPREME
Oh I’ll definitely enjoy this… when I get free time from the everlasting hell that is college.
Excited to see what comes next. Keep up the good work!
I didn’t know it was even possible to skill issue harder than me. I give you my crown good sir.
