The leaking fuel vapor trail effect was only around for a very short time. It's shown in the Damage Control update trailer but was removed for a reason that I'm not aware of.
If you're referring to an actual texture of a bullet hole or something, that's never been a feature.
...How have you used 472 GB?
Also, a much more effective way of storage management would be to buy an external plug-in SSD drive. You can get like a 1TB one for under a hundred bucks.
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.
I've been playing this game since fifth grade, and I'm a sophomore in college now (studying engineering, as a matter of fact). There aren't many games I can say I've played nonstop for that long. Loved it all these years, currently enjoying stumbling through Juno's career mode, and I can't wait to see what's coming next!
@Majakalona Yep, though the white Vertigo wasn't officially in the game (but the repainted one was). I wasn't aware of the proto-Kicking Fish though. Neat!
The simplest way to explain it is essentially as a bunch of variables. If all variables are "true", the engine will turn on. With more advanced things that require you to do steps in a particular order, I think it's similar except certain variables require other variables to be true before they themselves can be true (and then eventually the engine is allowed to start after a series of these steps), but I'm not entirely certain.
@TheCommentaryGuy I'm not sure it actually should count as one. The Beast is scripted to move in a certain direction, but it's a dynamic object and really all it does is provide a constant "ahead" movement relative to the orientation of the ship, so if you nudge (or yeet) it out of alignment, it just kind of goes off in the new direction. Ideally it would try to return to its original course, but the game wasn't advanced enough for that when the ship AI was added back with the Tiny.
It multiplies the power output (and the fuel consumption rate) of the jet engine. For example, an engine with a powerMultiplier of 2 will produce twice as much power at any given throttle setting than the same engine with a powerMultiplier of 1.
In SimplePlanes, there's no functional difference between chaff and flares other than the visual appearance (and the launch force parameter for flares). One will work as well as the other.
If it suits your craft, you can pull the cockpits out of most of the stock planes without too much effort. None of them use variables so it's pretty much plug-and-play with those.
That, plus replicas are a lot easier to get references for (and to make something that "looks right"; I've tried doing a few made-up ones and they always just end up looking strange).
...Excess RAM usage won't cause the battery to explode. It can cause the phone to crash and need to be restarted, but it won't impact the battery. Excess heat caused by high RAM use could theoretically cause this, but only if the battery was either faulty or had been damaged due to, say, repeated impacts.
Perhaps consider treating your phone with a bit more respect rather than throwing it across the room when you are frustrated? It will likely last longer that way.
Fly east-ish (maybe a little to the north) from Wright and you'll come across it eventually. Be warned though, it might not want to see you! Hopefully you can keep up.
In theory the most efficient method of crashing the game would be to just have a full wallpaper-scale image imported into a text label (using SPRaster or a similar tool).
@Quercon Oh yeah, it for sure could be a thing (and now that I re-read your post, you're asking for it to be added, not how to do it currently). Maybe in a future update!
...No, it doesn't. ChatGPT and other similar AI "information" programs are designed to give you a response. If you ask the AI a question, it will give you something that sounds like an answer, regardless of whether the information is factual or not.
A good example of this is asking the AI to give you a list of sources for a paper, based on your topic. The AI will give you a list of proper-looking sources, but more often than not they will either be incorrect, attributed to different authors, or simply nonexistent. I'm concerned for the people who have adopted this so readily and are using it to try and find factual information (not quite what you're doing here, but close).
I'll say it again. ChatGPT and similar AI language models are designed to give you an answer, regardless of whether that answer is in any way truthful. There is no "conspiracy" about SimplePlanes 2, or anything like that. You asked it for information about a game that doesn't exist, and it provided that to you.
All that being said, aerial photography would actually be a really interesting mechanic or game mode. That's not a super common thing in games.
Well, if you don't want to spend money on Steam, SimplePlanes is also available for purchase from GOG and Humble Bundle!
If you don't want to spend money at all, that's called piracy, and is both immoral and illegal. In short, it is theft from the developers who have spent their own time and money working on this game. You will find no assistance for that here.
I wouldn't say it was embarrassing. It was the first flight of the Starship/booster as a mated pair. Really, anything beyond "it blows up on the pad" is a success, because it means the thing at least partially works.
Very interesting, though the National Republicans' goals of expanding the military and removing individual rights are rather contradictory to the "conservatism" ideal. (But maybe that was intentional!)
