This is my favorite kind of build. Nicely detailed, flies well and all functions work, and all with a reasonable part count. Nice work!
Is the ski version available as well? I'd love to play around with that too :D
What are you even trying to accomplish? This is the third post you've made generally regarding Pan in the last few days, and all three of them have said entirely different things.
@ThatKindaWeeb Short version:
Kelvin is an actual unit of temperature/energy that indicates the motion of particles;
Fahrenheit is a relative scale that indicates how people feel;
Celsius is a relative scale that indicates how water feels.
Here's a handy diagram I like to use.
Alright, I'mma be blunt. You're right that the feeling is caused by your brain, and that the brain does have the ability to destroy itself.
HOWEVER.
You are NOT going to allow a three-pound chunk of wet meat to decide you are going to die today.
Not on my watch. If you need someone to talk to there are plenty of people here; I myself will have a 2-hour break from classes in about four hours and we can talk then if you would like. Here, Discord (huskydynamics5428), heck I can just straight-up call you if you want.
Remember, you have overcome things like this before, so you can do it again (and believe me, it's so much more worthwhile). Now is not your time to give in. I am praying that you are still here to see how many people really do care about you, because we really do.
@TheFlightGuySP Thanks for the info! I took an intro to programming course in high school but haven't done much since aside from some FT (duh) and some XML-related things, so I'm vaguely familiar with the syntax (I know how code syntax works but don't recall particulars for C# off the top of my head) but that's about it. I also did an online course that was an intro to 2D game-making in Unity but haven't gone any further with that either.
I'll probably just keep using the AI menu for now haha
(p.s. how do you do regular paragraph breaks in comments without doing the line thing, I've never been able to figure that out)
The one you want to be on when AG1 is ON should have its input set to Activate1, and the one you want to be on when AG1 is OFF should have its input set to !Activate1.
(The ! character in Funky Trees represents "not", so putting it before the input makes the game read "when NOT Activate1=True"; i.e. "when Activate1=False".)
@PPLLAANNEE For slow spins in the Kicking Fish the procedure is pretty much the same actually (rudder/aileron in the direction of the spin, elevator down) except with the engine OFF.
For fast spins, the flight controls of the Kicking Fish are all but useless, so your best bet is to drop the gear and apply a lot of throttle. This will increase the spin rate but also get the nose of the aircraft pointed above the horizon, which - combined with the Kicking Fish's rather ridiculous power-to-weight ratio - can let you slow your descent or even begin to climb vertically while still in the spin. There's really no recovering midair from a fast flat spin in the Kicking Fish, but you can slow your descent enough for a survivable landing with some practice.
Of course, the Kicking Fish is also a lot harder to spin to begin with (unless you open the canopy mid-flight, of course).
You've gotta do them all at once unfortunately. Mirroring or cloning XMLed parts will keep the edits so if there's a lot of one part (wheels, for instance) you can just edit one and then clone it as many times as you need, but there's no way to bulk edit XML (other than scale via FineTuner, but that can be a little buggy sometimes).
Celsius is a relative scale, so you can't really say any point is "twice as cold" (or "twice as hot" as any other point on the scale. 4 degrees Celsius isn't "half as hot" as 8 degrees, because Celsius "begins" (at 0 degrees) at an arbitrary point and can go in both directions, meaning that "zero" does not indicate a true zero value. You could say that 4 degrees is half as much above zero as 8 degrees, but it is not half as hot.
As a side note, this is why Kelvin exists. Kelvin is an absolute scale, meaning that it starts at zero and only progresses in one direction. If we were talking in Kelvin, 4 degrees would be half as hot as 8 degrees, because Kelvin has a defined absolute minimum value (it cannot go below zero), meaning that each step is a known and consistent distance from that actual zero point.
Get them to make a backup of whatever's on the computer in case it decides to spontaneously kablooey (if they won't accept the battery as a reason, tell them it's for data security or something. There's lots of reasons to be doing it even if the battery isn't a problem, so I'm sure you can come up with some explanation).
I would not recommend trying to break the computer or anything. Either way, they'll get mad at you (probably claiming that it was fine until you broke it). At this point, I think the best you can do is keep pointing it out and suggesting fixes, make sure that anything valuable or important saved on the computer is moved elsewhere or at least backed up on an external drive, and wait for an "I told you so" moment. If they aren't listening to you, and they won't listen to anyone else, there's really not much else to be done.
Perhaps point it out to the TSA agent when they are going through security for the plane if it's still a concern by that point.
iOS has never had official modding support, as Apple has long since prohibited any third-party code along the lines of game mods from running on their devices (the Modding button was only added on iOS when Overload and FineTuner were integrated into the core game, as it was simpler to bundle those two with the verified game than to integrate them into the base code, I guess). This is unfortunately not something that Jundroo has any control over, and is very unlikely to change.
Do not post or comment about a player who blocked you, about a specific player who blocked a friend of yours, or about a specific incident about specific people involved in blocking one another.
@ShinyGemsBro Yep. Figured I would give him one chance anyway, though I must admit I wasn't expecting him to take it. I would much rather avoid the whole thing, but I have a feeling this is going to go on for a while.
@O202 I see you have made up your mind. I may well be mistaken yet, though I have confidence otherwise. This will certainly be informative, at any rate. Time will tell indeed.
@O202 There are far more of us than there are of you. You have a choice to make: Either you stop antagonizing people and go back to whoever you were before all this started, or you keep trying to drive your wedge into this community in an attempt to turn us against our friends for reasons only known to you. The choice is up to you, but as it stands you are already at a net loss in terms of support.
You're right about one thing, though. This will be fun.
@O202 I mean that right there is a bannable comment by itself, regardless of any prior stuff. Also, calling on the moderators to "protect you" as you actively try to establish "an atmosphere of hostility" and "radicaliz[e] users" is... really not how that works either.
Edit: And to what end, exactly? The active users on this site form a pretty small community, all things considered. Attempting to radicalize one part of it against another part is not going to work out for you. We already know (and for the most part respect) each others' differences, views, backgrounds, etc., and they are handled (albeit occasionally with some moderator assistance) in a reasonably civilized manner. Trying to stir up drama like this, even if you somehow found a civil way to do it, just won't work.
Hi! I'm not sure what happened to the site's auto-credit system but it seems to have missed this one; I'd appreciate it if you could add some credit or at least a link back to the original build which this is modified from. Thanks!
@Aviator720 50% off is pretty consistent, actually. SimplePlanes has (to my knowledge) only been discounted below that once (75% off for the 2022 Lunar New Year sale, which was shortly after the release of SPVR; I believe the two were bundled for that sale which would explain the greater discount). Otherwise all sales have been 50% off. Same goes for Juno, when it's on sale it's always for 50% off.
Edit: 60% off is actually the greatest that SPVR has ever had as well, so this current sale is somewhere between "consistent with" and "better than" prior ones.
The limit is every 24 hours, not every calendar day (i.e. it doesn't reset at midnight). Working as intended, as a quick glance at your profile shows 3 builds posted within the last 24 hours or so.
This is my favorite kind of build. Nicely detailed, flies well and all functions work, and all with a reasonable part count. Nice work!

I just now realized that there's actually supposed to be an image in this post; my browser just doesn't show it.
@32 Most of the time yeah, but sometimes Windows decides to do a little trolling and forgets the programs that open .spmod files (or .splanes).
For mods downloaded from the site (here), you should put the .spmod file in

@ComradeInCommune I think you would end up putting the Pigpen into the ground
Alternatively, the procedure above still works for intentional spins (guess how I tested it).
oh this is cursed
I love it
