Game performance can be affected by more than just part count. Compare the performance cost of the two aircraft, since that takes into account things like drag, FT code complexity (it's surprising how much lag can be caused by complicated code), etc.
Also, have you adjusted any of your game settings? I'd recommend disabling Image Effects if you're still dealing with lag, as well as perhaps turning down some of the other quality settings (water and physics can also cause a pretty big performance hit).
Fortunately, there's a "Look At Cockpit" option for cameras (not orbit cameras though) that does pretty much exactly this! With that option enabled, the camera will constantly pan to track the location of the cockpit, no input required.
Generally the trend appears to be to post one (either the most well-known or your favorite or something) as public, with links to the rest as unlisteds.
Look. Just because someone thinks about something a certain way doesn't mean you have to listen to them. You have your own interests and passions, and they have theirs. What they say doesn't have to apply to you, because you don't have to listen to them. Enjoy whatever you want to enjoy (within the limits imposed by the laws in your area of course).
Also, after reading that profile myself I'm fairly sure that it's meant as more of a meme than a serious threat. Don't take it too seriously.
@GotovoYaTut I haven't downloaded any of the challenge entries yet (to give a fair comparison when testing them), but I'll be sure to give you some tips once I try this out!
I also recently have become quite proficient at running through the entire main trench of Blue Glacial Park with both the Wasp and the Pigpen at sustained speeds of over 450 knots.
One that I thought was amusing was a dogfight I had with the AI probably close to a year and a half ago. I shot down the first plane but then had a collision with the second one, which knocked out both of our engines. There was then about a 3 minute gliding dogfight between us, which ended with me shooting the AI down a few feet above the ground right before pancaking in right next to him.
You get upvotes by posting things that people will choose to upvote. Usually this means either builds that they like, or builds that they think are high quality.
One thing I've noticed is that it doesn't seem to activate if your primary cockpit is a flight computer, for whatever reason. I was messing around with it a while ago and the new Pigpen (which uses a flight computer) was not able to activate it, though the old one was, under the same conditions and in the same location.
@SyntheticL I believe Artemis I is traveling slower for better efficiency (and more time for experiments and capsule testing, since they aren't really in a hurry anyway).
My prayers for the families and friends of those lost.
Not only have we lost six (possibly seven, it's still unclear exactly how many were aboard Texas Raiders) valiant aircrew, we've also lost two extraordinarily historic aircraft. Texas Raiders had the fifth most operational time in military service out of all 12,731 B-17s built, and Kingcobra N6763 was both one of only three flying P-63s in the world and the sole surviving P-63F out of the two built. The P-63F model is now extinct, and there will no doubt be significant repercussions into the remainder of airworthy B-17s around the world, especially as this came so soon after the Nine-O-Nine crash.
If you're making a missile equipped with a realistic nuclear warhead, plutonium (specifically Pu-239) would be the best option. It is cheaper and easier to produce than uranium (specifically weapons-grade U-235). Polonium's half-life is too short to be used for any military purposes (weapons need to be manufactured and stored before they are used, after all), and Oganesson has a half-life estimated to be less than a millisecond (and is also far, far too unstable to be produced in any quantity sufficient for weapons use). Radium would in theory result in a more radioactive "dirty bomb"-type missile, but would be a very poor choice for weapons due to its extremely high cost.
The Quest VR version of SimplePlanes includes the Wright Isles, Krakabloa archipelago, Sky Park City, and Snowstone island. It does not include Maywar or the kraken, since the Quest is an Android-based device and it has many of the same limitations of other Android devices. It is possible, though, that Maywar/kraken may be added in the future, but this is not certain.
Here's the full video (with sound), since Copty didn't credit the original creator.

...What?
+1@JustDragon Yes.
This challenge is now closed, and any further entries will not be included in judging.
I'm pretty busy for the next few weeks, but results will be announced before Christmas.
- In the settings from the main menu (not the pause menu), you can pick your preferred unit from metric, imperial, or nautical.
- Some of them actually are solid, but I never remember which ones so I avoid all of them anyway.
- Voila
+3Those are absolutely gargantuan ammo crates lol
+1@AquiliusEpic Oops! Thanks for letting me know.
+1@crusaderwingman It's already the 1st but I said in one of the forum posts that submissions on December 1 would still be accepted.
@JustDragon Technically it's open for about another 11 hours or so

@Decembermin No, the date on the revolution was right (I think). The emergency landing was in 2005.
You know that was in 2005, right?
Basically they test planes and give them the official "VR-compatible" stamp.
Also the temple thing.

+1Should be able to use something like this:
+4{Activate1? "<alpha=#80>" : "<alpha=#00>"}
text goes here@MRM19 Sure!
+1You have to type say "whatever you want to say"
Including the
say@GhostHTX Sure! Just tag a moderator in its comments and ask them to make it a successor to this challenge, and that should all be good.
@ZeroRaven87 Basically post a plane (that meets the rules) as a successor to this post.

+2I don't think your joke worked, I'm just kind of confu'e
@Mlancer Doesn't matter when it was started, if you get it done before December and it fits the rules, it counts!
Likely the internet connection. I've had that happen a few times in the past.

Edit: I see you have deleted the original comment tagging me. That's interesting.
No
