@KnightOfRen Mean? No. MEAN IS SHARING AN AMAZING LOOKING VERSION OF MY FAVORITE JET IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD (WHICH I WILL NOT MENTION HERE BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT TO OPEN MYSELF UP EMOTIONALLY LIKE THAT RIGHT NOW) THAT TURNS LIKE A FISH UNDERWATER BUT EXPLODES IF YOU EVEN THINK ABOUT TRYING TO LAND IT. THAT IS MEAN. TORMENTING ME WITH FALSE VISIONS OF MY LOVE. ok, i might be exaggerating a little bit here for lolz, but seriously, half the fun of this game is the physics engine. nothing has to be perfect, but it would be cool if people made planes that flew well instead of just collecting upvotes
When I comment on a post, I consider a few things. Is this a new player? Does it seem like this person spent much time building this? What do I like about it? What can improve?
I try to make it a point to say something positive every time I comment on someone's work. After all, people care about their creations. But I also make it a point to politely advise what can be improved. That is how we learn. If someone is content to make the same kind of stuff over and over again without changing, so be it. This is a game, it is meant to be fun. But I will offer anyone the opportunity to refine their skills and improve, just as I am grateful to others when they teach me something.
I made a post about this about a year ago. Since then they've released some important new features that have really opened up new creative possibilities. While I would love to support Jundroo with another purchase, I certainly won't be complaining about the content they release to me for free. And if they're doing well then I guess there's no reason for them to change course.
Nah, points are mostly dumb anyway. People spend too much time scheming how to get points and not enough time learning how to build stuff that flies better than a dead hippo.
Do what you like, and don't bother asking other people what to do. Other people are great at helping fix problems and giving advice or criticism. But when it comes to choosing what to make, you'll have more fun making stuff you like.
@jamesPLANESii You may, you may not. Just because the new card requires more juice doesn't mean it wont work, study the PSU carefully. Prebuilt systems often use non-standard components so check around to be sure what you have.
@Aeromotive Yeah, but when it came to putting pilots inside contraptions that would likely kill them, nobody could top the Third Reich. If you click this informative video about the ME-163 Komet and fast forward to 32:30 you'll be treated to the following quote: "Guess where they chose to put the additional tanks of flesh dissolving acid? If you answered 'in the cockpit' you are correct."
@Strikefighter04 The Nazis relied heavily on French industry during WW2, but were often disappointed. Citroen trucks were particularly notorious for their terrible reliability. What the Germans never realized was that the trucks were fine if they had the proper amount of engine oil, the factory workers had merely sabotaged them by shortening all the oil dipsticks.
All-in-one computers are finicky. Be sure to verify you will have a safe amount of EXTRA wattage from the power supply before installing new hardware. Store bought computers often have crappy power supplies because people don't know to look at that kind of stuff.
@Kreep2knight In the end it's up to you. Most people on here don't pay attention to fuel. Personally, I use extra hidden engines that activate automatically at 95% throttle. The extra thrust and fuel consumption seem more or less accurate like that.
@Kreep2knight @Aeromotive A Vietnam-era F4 could burn through hours worth of fuel in 10 minutes with the afterburner running. Each J-79 engine consumed just under 10 pounds per second with afterburner, and it had two of them. That's why midair refueling is so important for fighter planes.
There's a lot of not-so-secret stuff you gotta learn to make advanced stuff work. Disable collisions is one thing. This fairly old guide is still your best bet when it comes to learning how to really get good.
FOR REAL THOUGH, SPBC IS WAY MORE HELPFUL THAN THE FORUMS WHEN IT COMES TO GETTING HELP WITH YOUR PROJECTS. SURE, I GET TIRED OF ALL THE ANIME. BUT THERE'S PLENTY OF NICE PEOPLE AND THE MODERATORS BAN THE LIVING CRAP OUT OF ANYONE THAT ACTS LIKE A JERK, BUT THEY'RE NOT SUPER STRICT EITHER. IT'S A GOOD PLACE TO POST PICS AND LINKS TO STUFF YOU'RE WORKING ON TO GET FEEDBACK AND IMPROVE YOUR SKILLS. ALSO, BLUE BULL POSTS SOME PRETTY DECENT MUSIC ON THERE SOMETIMES.
9/10 would recommend to friends (I subtracted one point for all the anime)
I grew up in the DC area shortly after they changed the name to CSX. When I was a kid, most of the box cars still had the big yellow kitten on the side of them. I never knew what a cat had to do with a train until I grew up.
@Aldriech Yeah, pretty insane stuff. The other guys are right though, the Antonov-225 is the biggest, heaviest plane. Though I think the Super-Guppy looks the fattest.
@Aeromotive It depends on the engine design. In the case of the SR71 and the Foxbat, they were completely designed around using their afterburners to the fullest extent. The J58 is a partial ramjet because of its unique bypass system, but the Foxbat's engines were traditional after burning turbojets, just really really big ones. The thing about afterburners is that you can more than double your thrust with them under the right circumstances, especially with unburned air coming from a bypass. The downside is that afterburners use an astounding amount of fuel, as much as 385 gallons per minute.
During the Vietnam War, the USAF outfitted its fleet of of B-52 D's with something called the "Big Belly" mod. This change allowed them to carry 42,000 lbs of bombs each. Under Operation Arc Light groups of three B-52's would completely pulverize strike zones a half-mile wide and 2 miles long in what came to be known as "carpet bombing." This was the largest tactical use of high explosives in history.
@Aeromotive Yeah, past mach 2 most jet power comes from the inlet and the afterburner. The actual engine is just what you use to get there. The Mig-25 was the same way, except it didn't have a fancy bypass system. Fun-fact: the Mig could generate so much thrust with its massive afterburners that it could continue to accelerate past the point where the engines failed, melted and literally began to eat themselves.
Downloads are the most satisfying part (other then finally finishing something!) Of the game for me. The idea that so many people enjoy and want to learn about something I made and shared, it's a great feeling. Congratulations, you clearly put a lot of work in on this.
@asteroidbook345 I always thought of SP in polytheistic terms. SpiritusRaptor, SimpleFlow, REW. Zhou, Bogan and Bogdan all ruling and battling over the heavens as we, mere mortals, gaze up in awe. Sort of like the Norse gods.

@switdog08 Thanks
@switdog08 I should, you're right. As for the dipstick, I misspoke. They cut the notch further down on the stick, so the oil was always too low.

The SBD was a dive bomber, not a torpedo bomber. Got it confused with the TBF Avenger. Otherwise you're on the right track here
