why was the gear so slow
why did the gear CATCH FIRE FOR NO REASON
where did the nose gear go
what was that physics-defying bounce
why did the engines decide to fall off and then spectacularly detonate

there are so many questions and none of them are worth answering
If you ask me, this is where prioritizing quotas, DEI, and political correctness over actual skill, experience, and the ability to say no will get you. Aviation is the one field where skill and experience should be prioritized over all else, and in my opinion what we're seeing is what happens when these are placed in the back seat in favor of fitting whatever agenda is the current hot topic.
(It's really unfortunate for me actually because in a year or two I might be working there on an internship. I wish I could say I still looked forward to that like I did when I was a kid, but I can't anymore.)

A dc10 means the player needs to roll a 10 or higher to pass whatever check or save (stealth, insight, perception, etc.) they need to do in order to succeed.
D&D joke that didn't land (ironically) (wait now I'm meta-referencing, this is trippy)
Russia 1 and 2 seem like they would be the most universally effective due to the less bold colors, but Ukraine 2 and 3 are also extremely good-looking. Not so much a fan of Ukraine 1 or the Kazakhstan pattern; in my opinion that kind of bold and blobby camo only works with like Vietnam-era greens and browns.
"Bold and willful, they do not tremble as they blaspheme the glorious ones, whereas angels, though greater in might and power, do not pronounce a blasphemous judgment against them before the Lord. But these, like irrational animals, creatures of instinct, born to be caught and destroyed, blaspheming about matters of which they are ignorant, will also be destroyed in their destruction, suffering wrong as the wage for their wrongdoing." 2 Peter 2:10-13, ESV
There should be a movement increment (or something similar named, I forgot what it's labeled as) towards the bottom of the position/rotation adjustment panel. You might need to scroll down.
The default value should be .078125
The C-47 in question has 47 parts and no interior. The only notable difference between it and a civilian DC-3 at that scale is the cargo door (and technically the engine performance, but better to get that so that it flies like it should rather than making the numbers in the editor match up precisely). In short, I do not understand the problem.
Huh, okay. Well, in order to give my thoughts I'm going to know precisely what you mean by "lack of effort put in by Jundroo," because wrapping up development on a nine-year-old game to finally fully move to their next major project is decidedly not lack of effort.
My inability to understand the meaning of this post is further impeded by your inability to communicate in a decipherable manner, as well as an abhorrent lack of both punctuation and any kind of formatting structure.
Short version:
When you bought the game you did so with the full knowledge that development would eventually come to an end, as with pretty much every other game that doesn't follow the content-as-a-service model, and now that that time has come you're claiming you've been betrayed?
Have y'all not had games reach end-of-life before? They aren't trying to subconsciously convert everyone to Juno so they can axe SP, they're just finished developing SP and have moved on to their next project (and are showing it off here because... people that play both, I guess?).
it feels like a massive stab in the back for Jundroo to pay little to no attention to Simpleplanes to make it a better PC and mobile game
The game has been out for over nine years (December 2014 was the first launch, on mobile only; the Steam version came a year later), which is a fairly long time for a video game these days and a rather absurdly long time for an indie game, much less a studio's first truly successful game (sorry SimplePhysics and SR1, but it's kinda true), much less one that was originally just a mobile game. There is no backstabbing or desecration (whatever that would mean in this context); it's been public knowledge for a long time now that SP is built on spaghetti code and became more and more difficult to update over the years (a fate Juno will hopefully avoid now that they know what not to do).
The game isn't being worked on anymore because it's almost a decade old and the developers decided it was time to work on something bigger and (arguably) better. That's just how it is.
Also, please don't tag me on things I have not requested to be tagged on.
Well, I use Firefox as well and this hasn't happened to me (so far, at least), so I'd suggest running a virus scan on your end.
Also, what adblock do you use?
@ColonelRelford If only the airlines and the FAA still saw it this way... Now it's all about how many boxes they can check off to hit the DEI numbers, not about the competency and experience of their flight crews.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: The physical laws of aviation do not care about the race, gender identity, skin tone, or any other social "qualifiers" the flight crew may have. Aviation is the one field where skill and experience should be prioritized over all else, and it pains me that somehow this has been cast aside in order for airlines to fill more DEI checkboxes for better press.
Despite what your English teachers may tell you (it's okay, mine did too), Wikipedia is a decent source for getting basic information about a topic. It's not good to use for more in-depth research, and it's not a good source to cite (though the sources it cites could well be of use), but it's still a very good resource for general information.
As a member of the element fanbase, no.
Assuming you are meaning Potassium [subscript] 3, all that would indicate is three potassium atoms per molecule (plus this does in fact already happen - with iron - in potassium ferricyanide and several other compounds).
Also, Potassium-3 would either be a compound or an ion, not a new element. If the number of protons doesn't change, it's still potassium.
(As a final thing, allow me to introduce you to the "rumored" Helium-2, the diproton. Other than your terminology this is probably the most cursed thing you mentioned.)
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.
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 :/

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.
