Next I will start with primary shapes, a box, or cylinder or plane, which I conform and add lines to and slowly build up the final shape from the least amount of lines possible. Once the silhouette is correct I can start adding details like windows and doors and some panels, which I cut into the surface. And, finally, I add the small parts, like door handles, aerials, and lights. The main difficulty was trying to keep the polycount as low as possible while also making sure all the curved surfaces were curved enough.
We know, Emma. We know. Trust us, we know.
Lol
the call of the void manifested
"The call of the void" already manifested in the last game, and that's mounting four cockpits to a jet engine + fuel tank and aiming them straight up. That said, I do wonder how high altitudes will be handled... Has anything been said on that front? Will the sky turn black? Will there be a curvature effect on the horizon?
Hm.
In any case these look quite good and I can't wait to kill thousands of innocent civilians.
@BOSSentinel Okay that's funny.
And do keep in mind tragedies happen daily. You just remember this one because it happened to the USA. The USA is not the world.
Make no mistake, the 9/11 attacks were horrible, but it was 24 years ago and there comes a point that people stop treating something as the end all be all of terrible events.
It happened, it was bad, the world sympathized, move on.
To any poor sod that finds this on google in the future, it's done via Gravatar. Make a low-security email (Gravatar isn't very secure), make an account for Gravatar, and make the email your SP account uses the same as the one you used for Gravatar. Make your SP account use Gravatar (checkbox in the account settings page, where email select is) and it should be connected. May take a moment to update. After that whatever your PFP is on Gravatar will be your SP PFP.
My biggest concern is if it will be successful outside the SP community.
While an influx of completely new users could cause problems for the community (people not respecting site rules, formal and informal), it is likely necessary for Jundroo to sustain their operations.
Some users, like LunarEclipseSP, have talked about a lack of YouTube content for SimplePlanes. I don't think this is a problem for the community, which is here regardless, so much as it is for the game; a lack of YouTube prominence would severely limit how many people see this niche product.
@ArovestaDynamics That's a silly thing to ask for. Game development ain't cheap.
That being said, a discount for owners of SP1 would be nice.
Goodness knows I've earned it, I've bought SimplePlanes three times.
@SuperSuperTheSylph Honestly I have no idea how SP multiplayer works. I assumed it was essentially just feeding player inputs to AI craft, no?
Can't see why it wouldn't be able to use guns when AI does it fine.
@LunarEclipseSP in the most cramped space lol
@Boeing727200F Please don’t get too close to Quesnel or whatever it’s called. Our safety is dependent on remaining hidden and Quesnel shows up on the map at far less zoom. I don’t want to risk attracting griefers, yeah?
@LunarEclipseSP I know.
On one hand it's assholeish to grief artwork like that, especially a memorial.
On the other hand, people act like it's a person's memorial being griefed.
It's a horse.
A horse people only care about because :
A: people would bet money on it while it ran forward, and B: It was turned into a waifu for profit.
This whole affair is ridiculous.
Rotation sounds useful. Dunno how much I’ll use it but it’s good to have, especially seeing as the old WASD rotation seemed to essentially re-place parts in the same pattern causing faulty autoconnections.
view tool that lets you move the camera around without accidentally grabbing parts.
So like middle mouse button but for camera placement? Will it be key bindable?
whether to move parts relative to their local rotation or the world coordinates.
If that works how I’m interpreting that sounds very useful for posing models.
…
A suggestion I have for mirroring (alongside retaining an old-style button) would be something to show what the other part has for a value. I assume that, if in the gif, wheel size were altered while set to mirror mode both sides would suddenly snap to the same. I reckon it’d be good to show in parenthesis what the other side is at (I.e. 70% (100%) & 100% (70%)). I’m also reminded of how fuselage slicing will display the in-between value (I.e. between 100% and 50% it’ll be something like 75% displayed) which is neither correct nor allows you to change it while connected seeing as both parts will suddenly share the same slice.
…
The undo history looks very useful. While this will probably be bad for RAM, having to save vastly more craft files while playing, I’ll at least be able to know when I accidentally judged a part hundreds (or was it hundreds of thousands?) of kilometres forward causing my craft to shift backwards into the endless void, forcing me to undo until that step is gone.
…
Oh!
Will the editor be bigger?
Currently the editor has a tiny render distance and doesn’t let you move the camera out very far at all. While this was fine in SP’s block and panel days, that era is long gone and this simply is not adequate. Frankly I’d consider this one of SP’s biggest faults.
For the low low price of only 5% of your country's GDP
So you're telling me I can create the Republic of Shitfuckistan (territory: the corner of my bedroom) with a GDP of whatever spare change I throw into it periodically and forget about and get this missile for cheaper than a candy bar?
That’s great if you’re doing replicas, but not quite as useful for original works. That being said, being able to compare to the silhouettes of existing aircraft can be helpful.
@MarkTheDesignGuy Doing the FT would be immensely complicated.
I suppose you could use AGs to pose each limb... however that would be extremely difficult, especially if you wanted to pose to the finger. Don't forget how many degrees of freedom a humanoid body has. A lot.
@HuskyDynamics01 Poor part optimization? No, no! I'm simply bringing back the old art of stop motion! Now shut up and download the 30,000 part cube.

@DecallViper This place is niche enough to not have so many outspokenly vile degenerates as other sites. It's slow, but overall much prefer it to other places.
