Go to your Steam, Right click Simpleplanes -> Properties -> Betas, and select an Earlier version of the game: I.E. V1.9.250.0
This will remove all added content like Glass from the recent Update, and make weapons react like they did before the update.
No more nukes.
It takes a minute or 2, but you can switch back to Current version by following the same steps and selecting: NONE - opt out of all beta programs
you can switch back and forth as many times as you need.
.
It sucks not to have Glass, But it Sucks more to get Nuked every 5 seconds.

Please share this information with MP players in chat.
If anybody can Pin this message, Please do so.
I remember going through a very similar thing in school...
I bet they will have a heart attack if you get a pilots license, while they become the next Bleach drinkers ;)
Not with how the game is shared in multiple platforms.
I play MP constantly, but it's not for everybody.
7 players online with 400 parts each, and you're already at 2800 parts.
The problem is that most devices other than PC's cannot handle the amount.
and a lot of PC's can't even handle 1500 parts.
I wish there was Multiplayer built in, but part counts, Drag, and all physics will have to be managed by the Server itself instead of your own device, to make it work.
Not to mention the amount of Trolls that are already on MP, making XML builds and bothering other players, or lagging the server with high part counts.
Use the MP join button in your designer only on the first time that you join!
If you switch aircraft or return to the Editor AFTER logging in to MP, Use the REGULAR play button that you use in Singleplayer.
Otherwise it will send you to a random channel...
Another way is to type Diconnect, and reconnect again through the Designer...
(this works sometimes..)
I love the design of this heli, makes me smile every time I load it up!
I imagine a battlefield covered in red and yellow stripes, with bits of french-fries all over and broken happy meal toys... and a lot of confused ground targets.
Kind'a like my room on a Friday :P
cool idea!
very cool Yaw control and pretty realistic.
the throttle idea is not really needed in helicopters...
turbine helicopters have a throttle thing that controls the rotation speed of the rotor automatically.
the Collective should control the amount of lift generated.
but this could be cool for a custom propeller or engine pylon like the Heli-craft from Avatar have.
@ManManTheWeaponsMan Sweaty?!
That was in the first run...
I need to figure out a way to separate my bum from the seat cushion after all that clenching.
@WNP78 there's a bug when starting with Trollshield.
You cannot target any players, you can only see ghosts of their builds.
You can see chat, but no players.
The way to fix it is:
Disable the Trollshield mod -> exit simpleplanes -> Restart simpleplanes -> enable Trollshield.
.
This happens constantly when starting the game.
@MTakach Thanks buddy :)
The whole Covid thing, and stuff in my country kind'a got me depressed, so I took a break.
Hopefully I'll be able to upload some new videos now that things are a bit more stable ;)
With the latest update, making Map sized nukes is killing mp for good :(
Too many trolls, too many players spawning in and killing everybody, or just crashing the game with nukes.
Been seeing too many players rage-quit, or just get disconnected.
I Don't recommend playing MP after this latest update.
@Zanbradcr3per If you think I stole something from you, you're barking at the wrong tree.
I never take ideas from people without thanking them for it, nor do I copy things that are not already uploaded.
If you think I stole something from you, then you can either prove it, or understand that I didn't, It's up to you.
@ComradeComissar this is pretty cool!
love that you made it more realistic than ingame
highly recommend checking out command and conquer Ultimate collection on steam, if you want to check out other games in the series..
I got it and been having a blast in Zero hour, tiberium sun and C&C3 after not playing them for a few years.
Really wish I could spotlight this.
Great job, you make the best F-16 flight model imo ;)
I love taking the weapons off and just go flying it.
I really like the realistic takeoff and landing characteristics.
@WNP78 I tried reinstalling both mods, and I also noticed that this happened to everyone in MP who is using the mod.
most players in MP just stopped using the TrollShield, as an attempt to fix the bug.
I passed it on in chat, the fix I mentioned in my fist post, and that seems to be the only way it works atm, without disabling the mod completely.
.
I'm not sure, But could this be related to how the MP mod was updated with the "Sync weapon explosions" check mark?
Wow this is Awesome!
Thank you @TheFantasticTyphoon for making this challenge! Cheers!
This was the first challenge I entered in SP with the aim to complete, it was really fun and challenging to design something with the time constraint and limitations.
It was really awesome to see all the helicopters made for this challenge!
(If you didn't notice, I'm a huge heli nerd...)
Tbh I didn't expect to win... but I'm really happy I did, and I'm very proud of the helicopter that came out of it.
.
I'm working on a Full gunship version with more missiles and rockets, which is a bit crazy with how much this little heli can carry...
and a Civilian version for underslung cargo lifting, and sport flying. ;)
@TheFantasticTyphoon I know... I'm just surprised so many players haven't found the Brown pearl yet, and some actually told me they don't believe it exists...
WWII had amazing heroics, and technological leaps...
but it's important to remember that It was also one of the ugliest and bloodiest wars in history.
This is a great video.
The one about the Victoria Cross is amazing.
It's a good point, and I agree that there's an over use of gyro's..
however, a Lot of helicopters have an Autopilot that stabilizes the helicopter (not unlike gyros in Simpleplanes), and also have the ability to Autohover.
some of these are: KA-50, SA342 Gazelle, UH-60 Blackhawk and many more.
The problem is that players just stick a gyro in to control everything, instead of it being a Secondary control option.
@GINGER01 I am a Private Helicopter Pilot FAA Licensed, trained on Robinson R-22 and R-44.
I am doing my training at 702Helicopters Las Vegas. (check them out, great tour prices!)
I am working on getting all the way to CFII (Certified Flight Instructor+Instruments)
And basically build a career in Helicopters.
I just love seeing so many people designing and flying, and i figured I'd share some of the knowledge I gained, there's a lot of players that are interested in understanding what Real flying involves beyond moving a joystick
and I feel like SimplePlanes is a good platform to share it :)
P.S.
Helicopters DON'T FLY!
They Beat the air into Submission!!
I love seeing this little heli flying IRL...
it looks like a BMX bicycle with a rotor compared to other heli's :P
very nice build, I'm modifying it for myself as a fully manual heli, similar to how it is IRL.
@winterro if you could disable them as well then maybe..
unless you want players spawning in with guns bulletScale 1000000 flying around..
yeah sure, that's sounds as fun as getting kicked between the legs.
then again, if you want dogfighting, you need to have a fair fight, similar capable aircraft... so Both sides can enjoy.
2 players loading whatever they have XML's out the wazoo, is not really a dogfight to begin with.... it's a contest of who understands XML and MP breaking better.

+6tho it's mostly empty
From all of us MP players, Thank you very much for this mod!!!

Seems like the servers are down for a few days now.

That looks awesome!!
+4T
Wow this thing is really cool!
+4took me a bit to get around the starting procedure, but it flies really well and really fun :)
Simple, low partcount, drives pretty good, all the things for a good build :)
I like it!
Can I use this to make a Command and Conquer version?
I want to modify a few things on it like an Auto-turret and gun instead of cannon, and few other changes to fit more with GDI.
I've been searching for a good Humvee, and this is the best I've tested.
+4Is this closed to the public?
+4it's requesting access, and it looks like I'm not the only one.
This should be included in the game, not as a mod ;)

Very cool bike!
drives good, looks good, and actually feels like a bike :)
Great work.
The only thing I changed in my downloaded one, is the Pitch for the gyro from AG3+Pitch to Trim to make it a bit more versatile.
