Keeping the nose extra high on landing so that you come in slow also helps, if the aircraft has a tendency to dig in and nose over in the water. With some planes you want to almost bring it to a stall a few feet above the water and just let it plop down rather than trying to hold a more conventional landing airspeed all the way down to the water.
@Drewski02 You would need to replace the yoke with one of the standard Yoke parts (because I don't know how to set up the custom-built yoke with VR handgrips properly), but otherwise it should all work in VR, yes.
@marianmadalin32 To clarify, you're looking for someone to completely recreate, from a PDF document, all of the technical drawings for a P-51 Mustang (for which there are thousands) in CAD, with the only compensation being mentioned on the sponsors list on the project website?
Not sure if you're aware, but a) That's a several thousand hour job, because each drawing would literally have to be recreated by hand in AutoCAD, and b) This is a website for an airplane-building indie videogame, not a CNC or CAD forum. You may have better luck asking on a more appropriate website, but I doubt you'll find anyone willing to do several thousand CAD drawings just to get their name put on the website.
I would love to see those pictures of the progress you've made on the frames and formers, though.
@TheAviator77 You can't make something humorous out of it because that's not for historical accuracy purposes, it's for a joke. Immelmann II would be within the rules (by my understanding) as long as you kept it as a serious replica of the actual real-world aircraft.
That's not for historical accuracy purposes (Hitler did not in fact have a plane with anything close to those markings), so it did indeed violate the site rules. "Historical accuracy purposes" does not just mean "it's a WWII German build so I can put swastikas all over it without consequences," it means more along the lines of "this German replica had a swastika on the tail as part of its markings, so it has been replicated for historical accuracy." As such, Nazi symbolism (and others) should only be used for serious replicas of real-world aircraft or vehicle markings; not for any joke posts, satire, etc.
Mods, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but that's my interpretation of the rule.
Jundroo made a free version of Juno: New Origins with optional paid DLC that works out to be more expensive than just buying the regular game; Andrew got censored, then banned, then unbanned for apparently leaking something about the team's future plans that nobody actually saw before it was taken down; and my upper back hurts because I slept funny :/
How's your 2024 going so far?
The reason that mods are no longer supported on iOS/Android is because Apple and Google have both decided to prevent "third-party" (read: player-created) code from running on their devices. Jundroo had no control over this decision, and is not responsible for the inability to support mods on iOS/Android devices. This has been the case for several years now, and is quite unlikely to change.
(Actually, I don't think iOS even ever supported modding in the first place.)
Yeah, it was a bit borderline on the "used for historical reasons" thing. It was really funny though (and pretty obvious that you meant it in good humor and weren't trying to offend people), so don't feel bad.
@Johnnyynf Honestly the building needed to be different in Juno; there are so many things that are possible (and a lot of genuine improvements, like the independent grab arrows when scaling a fuel tank) that wouldn't have worked with a more direct SP style copy. It's still got a lot of a learning curve but the basic principles are not all that different in terms of how things can and can't go together.
@LordGardevoirX No, basically they're going to be offering a new free version of the game with optional purchases for... some reason (people who don't want to just buy the game, I guess). The existing version has been rebranded to the "Complete Edition" on the app store and will continue to be supported and all that. For anyone who has already bought the game, nothing will change.
Juno now has ads and is going to be ftp, which is of course featuring bundles to remove ads and add gameplay features.
wait WHAT
edit: okay it's not that bad, there's gonna be a separate free, limited version with ads in mobile
Also seriously what the heck is going on with Andrew all of a sudden
Oddly enough, this is impossible (at least to my knowledge). There is no readable FT or XML parameter that outputs whether a craft is being locked or not.
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)
Nah.

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

@Mousewithamachinegun123 Maybe try turning off the Auto Orient option for the horizontal one? That might fix it, but I'm not certain.
