@Boeing727200F Dallas looks to have been somewhat cleaned out. That or it wasn't as bad as I thought I remembered.
Hawaii is literally just porn.
Stay out of Hawaii.
@Boeing727200F Fun fact: Alliances allow you to view the most recent pixel placed by someone in it. I saw you had some thousands more total than me and wondered where you were drawing.
Guess that answers it.
Would you rather I remove it?
@32 Ah.
How old is the 12 anyways? Isn't 11 from '19? I've a used one, but only use it as an at-home tablet. Got another (used) machine for actual mobile use. It's even older! I have so many bloody mobile devices...
Just to note: obviously this is an open thing and I have no concrete power, but as the person who prompted this I’d like to kindly ask:
1. Keep it E for Everyone. Please no suggestive artwork.
2. Pride flags are fine, just not, like, a hundred of them everywhere taking up space. Thanks. (Fortunately has not been a problem.)
3. Same goes for country flags, of course (also has not been a problem).
4. Leave others’ work alone unless asked. There’s plenty of space, no need to overwrite others’ art. It’s courtesy to respect hard work, eh? Additionally, mind where something is likely to expand into if incomplete; it's rude to cut someone off.
5. Do remember that this site is very poorly moderated, so please, Stay out of Hawaii. This applies doubly if you're on the younger side, seriously
May update suggested guidelines if more things come to mind.
@LunarEclipseSP Yeah, shit sucks.
Isolation is a blessing.
Quesnel seems okay, but perhaps we'd best keep a distance just to be sure; it's a lot larger than Barkerville and actually shows up on the map.
Hear that @Boeing727200F? Don't stray too close to Quesnel with your train; I'd rather avoid some outsider dipshit paying us a visit, especially with my own artwork and designs present.
@LunarEclipseSP I like the SP corner, but by all does that website need better moderation...
It surely can't be difficult to remove rule-breaking artwork, and yet they just... don't.
Hawaii is a shit stain matched by few others.
@SilverStar Yet is still incredibly complex.
Nevertheless, if SP gives an introduction to flight, which it does, it should go without saying that an intro into its own features for flight purposes is a must.
The game's own stock craft should not be black magic; they should be approachable starting points to build off of and draw from.
As it stands, Pigpen is so advanced that nothing can be learned from it beyond intimidating players.
Honestly, having looked at its variables, I reckon a sentence to a paragraph for each aspect of the lines of code would be plenty enough.
@SilverStar "Basic math".
Look at the code inside Pigpen and tell me how that is at all "basic"? How is someone, without a hint of direction, to make sense of it?
I don't mean what it does at all, I mean why each part is important. Why some things (e.g. tiny fractions as factors, etc.) need to be used in such a manner and can't work without it. Because trust me, I've tried. No luck.
Just because you've worked it out does not mean you get to define what is easy.
@SilverStar If you want to build anything of any complexity, yeah, you need it. The other day I had to abandon an otherwise promising project because I had no way of keeping control if AoA went slightly too high, which it'd not infrequently do at certain speeds.
If you understand the documentations or guides like snowflake0s one, it's enough to analyse how the systems are made.
Ridiculous. I'm talking about why a variable is x0.003 and not /0.003, or why it uses one function or another. There's a lot of engineering in this, yet no way to actually get yourself started in understanding it unless you've taken a bloody university course on the subject.
At that point, I think the fact that SimplePlanes is a game has been forgotten; it should be accessible, therefore should give some attempt at explaining its more advanced possibilities.
And if you don't understand, maybe it's not for you. That's how it works.
If the only way anything ever got built was by someone who instantly understood all the important concepts, you'd still be living in a cave hunting your dinner with a spear.
@TriggerMiku All this graphical AI junk doesn't actually do anything. It doesn't give the user more information, it just pretties it up for... no actual reason.
Personally, as long as graphics aren't hideous to the eye I think they're good enough. Fancy graphics are a waste of power and bad for computer parts anyhow. Lag, heat, can't run multiple programs at once; all downsides.
FPS, resolution, render distance where it applies. That's the kind of things that matters - actual information.
@TriggerMiku Looking up what that means, that seems exceedingly unhelpful at actually seeing small/distant things - the whole point of high resolutions.
@WaterFlavouredSpitfires Most definitely not. If the main version isn't ready there's no way the secondary port won't be pushed back accordingly.
@StockPlanesRemastered 3000 meaning... what exactly?
@TriggerMiku Frame generation is one of the biggest wastes of processing power the tech industry has turned out in a long time.
Congratulations, you're spending electricity on hallucinations.

Stay out of Hawaii.
Some cool finds:
Cool as shit Blackbird.
Wizard hampter (There's also seemingly a complete Gen 1 Pokedex nearby...)
Lil guy...
Weasel :)
Though adding how close your house is probably wasn't the wisest move on your part.
Goodness, does it not get loud? That's really damn close.
Kinda funny to be real.
Welp, guess we've all learned something today about online safety:
You're never safe.
@Boeing727200F It now says "the States".
@LOSTPARROT ... I'm sorry you were what?
