  • AVIOWN-288/JM "DARK EAGLE" 6.9 years ago

    Guess so. I’ll need to fly it a lot more to get the feel for it. I think it would benefit from a very large bomb bay centred on the CoM @AviownCorp

  • AVIOWN-288/JM "DARK EAGLE" 6.9 years ago

    But then it doesn’t stabilise it enough... maybe I’m just being picky. I’ll choose a few of your craft and discuss it with the others @AviownCorp

  • AVIOWN-288/JM "DARK EAGLE" 6.9 years ago

    The problem is that the gyro prevents smooth loops. It’s always trying to keep the aircraft level. Real stabilisation computers simply keep the aircraft stable and leave it in the last position the pilot left it @AviownCorp

  • Liam Tiger A1 6.9 years ago

    Internal is the way to go if you can keep part count low @AviownCorp

  • Liam Tiger A1 6.9 years ago

    Either. As long as it’s less than 350 parts @AviownCorp

  • The fastest airliner CV880! 6.9 years ago

    Keyword is subsonic. Still not the fastest @BaconEggs

  • Traction, power and acceleration. 6.9 years ago

    Aerodynamics has very little impact on acceleration but a huge impact on top speed. The original post is about reducing acceleration @DemonSniper8

  • Nascar Build off Challenge: BASE 6.9 years ago

    Just giving you attention because you are requesting mechanical suspension only.

  • Simplerockets 2 multiplayer?? 6.9 years ago

    no. And that isn't a problem IMO

  • Cars are dumb 6.9 years ago

    I like most planes and cars. I don't like IC cars or piston powered aircraft. I do like electric, turbine and rocket power. I don't like most people. To me, it sounds like all your problems could be solved if you had electric vehicles (logistically and economically unviable at present time, I know) and became a hermit driving only off-road. And no, I did not read the whole thing. Just the title and one or two bold sections. But seriously though, why complain on Simple Planes?

  • anyone want to friend me on steam? 6.9 years ago

    No. You literally just admitted to spamming and gave no reason to trust you lol

  • Traction, power and acceleration. 6.9 years ago

    @DemonSniper8 But only because it's a game. I really don't like using exploits or modding to create something that shouldn't work. But I can't really tell anyone how to play the game can I? By the way, what do you mean by XML stuff? I could make something go beyond light speed if I went nuts with XML

  • Traction, power and acceleration. 6.9 years ago

    That being said, it’s a game about planes so I can’t really expect the devs to put that much time into the finer points of land vehicles. We can use workarounds to create pretty much anything

  • Traction, power and acceleration. 6.9 years ago

    There’s a crazy number of things that affect acceleration and top speed on IC engines. Electric is actually a lot simpler. Horsepower and torque are separate things and have different effects on performance. Gearing is perhaps the biggest thing. Simpleplanes has no gears at all and there is no separate control for torque, so to make up for that, the engines are just plain weird at times

  • Traction, power and acceleration. 6.9 years ago

    You get a huge difference between 3 and 5. Think of it as gearing @DemonSniper8

  • MIM-120 Kalinka 6.9 years ago

    If it met my standards for suspension, this thing would probably be over 800 parts due to the crazy number of wheels. Don’t worry about it on this creation. @RocCrafter101

  • Traction, power and acceleration. 6.9 years ago

    Bigger wheels will slow you down drastically

  • MIM-120 Kalinka 6.9 years ago

    It’s good but... no suspension D:

  • Piston sounds are deafening. 6.9 years ago

    Yep. Unfortunately doesn’t work for pistons. You could set 10x rang and 0.1 input but that wouldn’t make any difference to volume. @RodWan

  • Piston sounds are deafening. 6.9 years ago

    @RodWan for engines you can set 10x power and 0.1 max input. But that doesn’t really help here...

  • Spaceship Concept Art Contest 6.9 years ago

    This is way beyond my level so I’ll just spotlight for attention

  • Baja bug 6.9 years ago

    I didn’t mean I’m second lol. I mean I agree with you @Hayhayjam664

  • Baja bug 6.9 years ago

    Seconded @Hayhayjam664

  • Can I still get a copy of SP v1.0? 6.9 years ago

    I think you can do it but I’m not sure. Google search how to change game versions on steam @Chancey21

  • Introducing the Airbus A220!(lol I just found out) 6.9 years ago

    They’re progressive with their technology so I like their future and latest aircraft. I really don’t care about the politics of a company if they use generative design and 3D printing and competitors don’t.

  • Rock Crawler (No Body) 6.9 years ago

    Good to see more 4-link vehicles appearing :)

  • How People Copy your Plane Without Noticing 6.9 years ago

    7 forum posts in two days? 3 in an hour?

  • Can I still get a copy of SP v1.0? 6.9 years ago

    can’t you change it to an old version through steam?

  • Traxxas Rustler 6.9 years ago

    It’s really good but you need to extend the suspension a little more while in the designer. When gravity is applied, the ride height is too low

  • Uss beast (SOLVED) 6.9 years ago

    @BoeyingOfficial I did once. The XBox controller is better suited to SP. Easier to hold and better buttons for games. Control resolution in SP is actually lower than the XBox controller so the crazy resolution of the taranis doesn't help

  • Uss beast (SOLVED) 6.9 years ago

    I can land on it just fine be it with my taranis RC radio, XBox controller, keyboard or touchscreen on ipad. Just practice with a decent plane until you get the hang of it

  • Will SR2 stop the development of SP 6.9 years ago

    I would combine my love of planes, multirotors, rockets and off-road land vehicles to create a reusable rocket that launches a VTOL spaceplane with a 4-link rockcrawler inside. If they add props, I will happily make a rocket that can take your bushplane to any planet you like @jamesPLANESii @TheGuyYouMightKnow

  • Plane suggestions 7.0 years ago

    A divebomber with a few wing-mounted boom25s. Make it reasonably fast (~400mph max) but fairly maneuverable. Use prop engines

  • Ring Lift Engine Verifier-B-600 Bomber 7.0 years ago

    No it wasn’t. Description just says it’s inspired by hunger games @Jacobdaniel

  • steam[TM] 7.0 years ago

    You need to make an off-road train with 4-link suspension (or something more complex)

  • Guinea Pig 7.0 years ago

    Add a rear door and fit a pun jet inside! With folding wings and rocket engine (just use a jet) of course ;)

  • Floppy Bridge 7.0 years ago

    Try it then @tsampoy

  • Floppy Bridge 7.0 years ago

    If you weren’t on IOS, I would suggest setting the hinge damper value to 0. But you’re on IOS so I won’t suggest that @tsampoy

  • McRockbouncerface Junior 7.0 years ago

    Thanks! I set controls as pitch and roll because that’s the best configuration for an xbox controller @callmom1

  • Q and A with EternalDarkness 7.0 years ago

    Very nice! I’ll have to do a Dakar truck soon @EternalDarkness

  • Q and A with EternalDarkness 7.0 years ago

    4-link is solid axle. Like this. I’m just feeling lonely making 4-link rock bouncers... all the rock crawler builders have left me :( @EternalDarkness

  • Q and A with EternalDarkness 7.0 years ago

    Are you ever going to try a vehicle with 4-link suspension?

  • Q and A with EternalDarkness 7.0 years ago

    What is the average airspeed of a swallow?

  • XML request. (With Prize) 7.0 years ago

    You can’t set different inputs to guns but you can set different inputs to engines. Do you want an engine to fire up at the same time as the guns, cos I could do that for you

  • (FIXED)I stuffed up... I stuffed up reall bad... OH GoD plEAsE HeLP mE (now fixed ;D) 7.0 years ago

    Have you tried turning it off and on again?

    Sorry. But seriously though, just tell your father or it will get a hell of a lot worse.

  • Stall Speed 7.0 years ago

    Well it’s hard to tell in simpleplanes since stall physics are out of whack. Most planes tip stall at extremely low speed IRL but that doesn’t seem to happen in SP

  • Unimog 7.0 years ago

    Wow. Really? I’m going to stop this now @Hawkeye156

  • Unimog 7.0 years ago

    So what about the lights. Extremely common to remove regular headlights and replace them with roof mounted spotlights for pure off-roading vehicles. The axle is accurate enough for functionality and looks about right. My previous comment about lack of portal axles is defunct since this appears to feature portal axles. Would you prefer no description or a google translate description that makes no sense? I really don’t see why you don’t like this and haven’t upvoted. @Hawkeye156

  • firing weapons from a remote drone? 7.0 years ago

    No idea @LOSTechOrdnance
