Does this mean that there won't be a SimplePlanes 2? Absolutely not, I have no idea what the folks at Jundroo are planning (the last time I talked to any of them directly was a bug report email chain in 2021). This is just my opinion, and I'd like to hear what y'all have to say on the subject!
@ToeTips I haven't messed around with it much, but Vizzy is a block coding system instead of just straight code, so it's (allegedly) much more user-friendly.
It is a little odd to be announcing a sale for a different game on this site though...
Yes, a lot of people play both, but a lot don't. They're linked in many ways but SP and J:NO are still separate games.
Okay but seriously if I didn't know that those maps existed I would be 100% convinced that this was some low-poly shooter game that someone greenscreened the SP hud over and added some sound effects.
The F2G had a very limited production run, so there was a lot of trial and error involved and different configurations of various components were tested. One such component that underwent multiple iterations was the carburetor air intake; the hump atop the cowling was one (especially prominent) configuration (here's an image showing the inlet itself, though a fewother configurations also were tested.
Seriously though, that looks awesome! Is it based on a real-world type? I don't know of any 4-14-4s off the top of my head but it's clearly Russian so it wouldn't surprise me.
The detacher has two connection points, one on the top (the thinner end) and one on the bottom (the thicker end). When triggered with an activation group or other input, the top connection point is the one that separates, so the detacher itself stays with whatever is attached to the bottom part.
Make sure that the parts you're trying to detach are only connected to the detacher (and any other parts being detached), and not to any other part of the main fuselage. If even one part is connected somewhere else on the plane, it won't be detached because there will still be a connection point.
I mean... you can make a challenge and submit your own example entry (just either exclude it from the rankings or have someone else rank the entries so there's no bias). There's no rules against that as far as I'm aware.
SimplePlanes is good for getting a general understanding of not only the really basic stuff ("how wings work", etc.) but also for some of the more nuanced things (how CoM and CoL need to be positioned relative to each other for different degrees of stability, etc.). That being said, it's not a flight sim, and will not give you the kind of in-depth simulation experience that would be necessary.
MSFS/FSX/X-Plane are all very good options, but if you're looking for something free, I'd recommend FlightGear (it can be a little more tedious with installing it and the graphics/performance are not eye candy by any means, but the simulation element is about as close as you're going to get for quite a few different aircraft types). Even something like GeoFS can be good for getting a feel for basic "realistic" physics, but you're not going to get that from any sort of mobile game.
Looks great! Not sure how to help with the control yoke, but for the canopy have you tried setting the mass of the detacher itself to zero? I don't know if that will fix it; they just kind of make things a little floaty.
First, there's way better places (arts and crafts forums?) to ask than the website for an indie airplane-building game, so I'm not entirely sure what you're expecting here.
Second... you received this assignment last week and waited until now - when it's due in two days - to start working on it, didn't you?
Steam does that sometimes. Unless there was some sort of issue that caused it (game constantly crashing, etc.), the most recent save is the one you should pick.
wha

If you've joined channel 0 then you have connected to the server, it could just be that there's nobody online.

I don't believe that a flight game called "Aviation Game" supports flight sticks.

I made a clock with a digital timer that does this; feel free to pull from my code if you want.
(I don't remember how I did it lol, but I know I did it and it should still work)
It's the overreaction

you have been what now?
I cast Cleaver on your electronic devices, expect arrival in 3-5 business days (the Cleaver is subsonic)
@Inuyasha8215 aw man
@32 why do you do this to me, you know I don't have anything even remotely ready for a plat special build

How did you upvote my BIO
Bold of you to tag me assuming I have anything in a state even remotely approaching ready for testing
