  • Free version of Juno: New Origins is now available for beta testing 3 months ago

    The ship is sinking.
    When the market share between SP and Juno is doing so badly you have to offer Juno for free. 🤣

    I wish you would do some updates to SP.

  • C-27J Spartan 2.1 years ago

    Back in 1999, I was one of 3 people who watched an Italian guy get killed by the propeller of an Italian Airforce C-27 on the military base in Iceland. It was one of the AFT observers who had to step out to pick up a bag they left outside before taxi. He had the corded headset on and there was a miscommunication between the pilot and him. The pilot advanced the throttle because, he thought the guy said he was clear and inside. It happened so quickly. I was on the edge of the taxi ramp with another guy and we were waiting for them to taxi so we could cross. What I saw sent a weird sensation down my entire body I can never forget. (The other guy who saw it happen was a civilian support person who was refueling a tractor at the time nearby)

    Cancel Culture sucks. So do trolls. As long as the strike method swings both ways then I am game. Like someone posted earlier, the strikes should be time based and fall off automatically. Say, 90 days for a major rule violation, 30 days for minor offenses. American Baseball method. 3 strikes and your out for a year.

    Something this great shouldn't be locked away. This will add so much to SP. Only a handful of people will use it anyway. We can make some Aircraft decals. A little work to make them less taxing on the rendering and this will be a great thing.
    I am working on some basic ones. Nothing as intense as the "Andrew" post.
    Be excited that your talents to create and educate SP users are bettering the community.

  • P-8A Poseidon 3.5 years ago

    @SquadronSquadronTheLeaderX
    I know you only posted that for fun but, honestly what I am about to state is very real.
    The P-8 sees them coming before they can even spool up their engines... One call and that SU-33 will look like a pile of metal. The P-8 can even defend itself. P-3 could also.
    I used to work on P-3's and we could detect and track them way ahead of them ever showing up.
    They always make it a big deal when a fighter plane intercepts a reconnaissance aircraft. It's a joke. For real. It's only a big deal because many of the times the Russians and the Chinese are disrespectful and dangerous when they intercept.
    As with the Hainan Island incident back in 2001.
    I was good friends with the Flight Engineer on that flight. The Chinese had done this to them before and it was the Chinese pilot did the dumbest thing possible. He got behind their wing. You can't do that behind a plane and much much less behind a propeller aircraft. It's called PROP WASH. It causes the trailing plane to lose lift due to the air turbulence. That Chinese pilot almost killed an entire crew because, he wanted to be aggressive. The Russians know better. They are very skilled pilots and while aggressive, they are a force to be respected. Their pilots are as skilled and intelligent as ours in the USA.

  • COVID-19 Vaccine 3.6 years ago

    Very clever build. Too bad I wouldn't take that shot. I will do just about any vaccine out there and I have. This one... Hell no. That's like a giant Tuskegee experiment IMO. I will wait it out for another year and see if people start having random seizures or immune systems shutting down. I don't do rushed experiments. I will take my chances with COVID. Plus I live in the state with the second lowest amount of cases and I barely have contact with the public. No direct contact at all besides a cashier at a store.

    I find it quite odd that the USA has such an inflated amount of cases in comparison to the rest of the world. Sure we are the world hub for travel and business. We have the 3rd largest population. But, how can we possibly have more than the 2 largest countries. Hmmm. We know China is lying. India just hasn't caught up all the way with their testing and they are using shoddy tests.

    Then look at all the death that happened back in spring. That is questionable all the way. We know many countries and even the USA was counting non-covid deaths as covid related. All of a sudden the death toll has went almost to none in comparison to covid cases. All of this is very concerning. Sure I say wear a mask and wash your hands. Why not? Who likes to be sick? Obviously, before covid we now know how nasty people were/are.

  • Not feeling too great 4.2 years ago

    Winter Blues.
    * IT IS OK TO CRY. We all should. It relieves things like this*
    I am 43 and I will tell you that you are not a man unless you can cry now and then to let that stress go.
    -Go to a big box store and get under them bright lights. Maybe even just stand there and talk to random people.
    -Don't think farther than today. If you think farther than today it puts a damper on things. We naturally don't think ahead so when we do we get depressed. We plan yes but, don't actually think future.
    -Play upbeat music.
    -Start taking magnesium glycinate once a day. They say 3-4 a day on the bottle but 1 per day is enough or when you feel you need it.
    -Take vitamin D suppliments
    -Start eating yogurt daily. Studies have shown in our antibiotic laden world we kill off all the good bacteria that actually provides enzymes or something that helps build up serotonin.
    -Write down your thoughts.
    -Get up and get moving until you tire.
    -Stay away from alcohol and recreational drugs.
    -Don't read the news. All they do is fear monger and report any bad they can to get ratings. Delete news apps.
    -Walk through the woods if you have any.

    These are my tools. I actually own a big T-5 shop light, I turn on when feeling this way. SUPER BRIGHT! lol

    Lastly, you are not alone. As with all things, it comes and goes. Sometimes that cloud hangs much longer, so you just gotta hold on longer and fight it off. Find ways to cope and test each one. Some things take weeks to get you in a better mood.

  • It's my birthday 2 months ago

    @AshdenpawTG22 What you need is ketamine therapy for depression that isn't being resolved by traditional meds. Also, being an outsider in itself is a major cause of depression. If you want to feel happy you need to find where you fit in. We are social by nature and lack of that is where depression typically stems from.
    As for the furry thing. IDK about all that besides my own opinion. If it matters. I think that is just a coping mechanism. It's something you enjoy because, it's a costume to hide in.
    I suggest living in the woods away from people for awhile to see if it helps. As for ADHD. That isn't the cause of your issues. I have it. I have been dealing with it for many many more years than you. It is a tool I can tap into which, allows me to be more competitive than others. It is a gift IMO. A burden but, also a gift.
    Depression is like cloudy days. They too shall pass and so will your depression. Chin up, positive thoughts, find the drug(s) or therapy that works for you and don't give up on trying to resolve it. Just don't do anything permanent. Medically or otherwise.

    @JCTECHNOLOGIES You don't believe in FREEDOM do you? Or at least have no concept of what that word really means. Always someone who wants to ban people. There is a mod in place that you can activate to block users you don't want to play with. We don't need more authoritarian governmental controls in our lives. IDC if someone comes in trolling. They eventually stop and go away. If we had a Combat MP map then maybe they wouldn't feel compelled to troll the ones who are just flying around.

    I only have one complaint. When banking the airplane doesn't bank properly. It lifts more than it banks. It's very odd. This makes it impossible to fly. Though, the YAW is spot on. The best and most realistic YAW I have seen yet in over 5 years.

  • framechirper - 3.2 years ago

    @frogbot4000
    You will see "MIN" and "MAX" under the 2nd tab in the OVERLOAD MOD.
    You will set one to "0" and the other to "1" or "-1" and the other to "0". Depends which direction you want it to move.
    You can still adjust the angle normally. Though, if you want it to go 180 degrees then set MIN "0" and MAX to "2" or vice versa.

    Using a hinge as a landing gear- Set "Input" to "LandingGear" and set MIN to "0" and MAX to "1". This will make the hinge be in the neutral position when the game starts and then will retract when you press the landing gear option. (LandingGear is one word no spaces)

    Here is a guide that will help you with possible OVERLOAD or XML changes.

    YES, unless someone from Jundroo disagrees with it. I mean it's the same ole MP just on a new server and not based in Japan.
    If I can add modded maps I will. Someone just has to give me a little explanation on how to make that happen. I think the idea is you would have to have the MODDED MAP installed on your system and then there would have to be a command to execute from the MP debugging menu.

    While I think your aircraft overall is awesome. I have a huge problem with how it basically begins to disintegrate whenever you are at high speeds and maneuver. Any abrupt movement makes the engines or their parts explode from contact with each other I guess.

  • Mental illness awareness 4.2 years ago

    WARNING

    NO SUCH THING AS CHEMICAL IMBALANCE!!!

    My rant is about Panic/Anxiety. Though, if you know even a little you will know OCD/Anxiety/Depression follow each other. We use OCD (repetition or routine to feel secure), when we lose that we become anxious, then comes depression.

    Though, it may not manifest in this order for you anymore. It is behind the scenes in your brain.

    There is such a thing as cognitive based learning. Chemical imbalance is a pharmaceutical term. The truth is that we learn to be afraid of things though life experiences. You are not scared of spiders because they are scary. Someone made you feel they were scary. (I am actually not scared of them)
    We also learn to be sad through life experience.
    In order to change this we need to change our cognitive outlook.

    This is all fact. I am proof. I spent 10 years in the military and experienced so many near death situations that I became hypersensitive to nearly all situations with any stress. I had near daily anxiety, panic attacks all the time.
    I do take Zoloft and plan on stopping soon. First I want to quit smoking. Wish I never started taking it. If I knew what I know now then I wouldn't ever needed to start taking it.

    -What I have learned so far.
    !Stop Panic Attacks
    I have learned to accept the fear, ask for more, and think about the worst case scenario. Then ask for more! Sounds counter-intuitive, trust me it does the opposite you think it does. It actually makes your brain realize that you are fearing nothing but fear itself. Sort of...

    Do some of these things when your depressed.
    -Cry
    -delete all News apps on your devices and turn off all news (They fear monger and feed only negative news)
    -Think how others have it worse than you --> (maybe you do have it the worst, your a paraplegic, with a non-functioning unit, blind, deaf, dumb, and can't even play SimplePlanes) Do you really have it that bad???
    -Hug. Don't have someone to hug, get a dog. Cats are narcissists ;)
    -Stay away from alcohol and rec drugs (these create a depression/anxiety cycle)
    -If it's S.A.D. aka. winter blues. Buy a T-5 florescent light at your big box store. Hang it above you while you build SimplePlanes builds. Can't afford that, go to a retail store with bright lights. Walk around and talk to random people or stay to yourself and read product boxes.
    -Go to a Starbucks, drink a caramel macchiato with an extra shot and stare at people until one says somet

  • Soviet Challange [Closed] 4.6 years ago

    Want to know how to build just like the Soviet's?
    Just build a craft which you never maintain , then talk crap about how powerful it is even though it doesn't function.
    After that, recommission it years later and don't even bother bringing it back to full functionality. Then after you have a major incident like a nuclear reactor meltdown, leave your people to die and don't bother recovering their bodies.

    Tell me I am not correct on this... :)
    I just speak the truth. I have no respect for a military that doesn't respect it's soldiers and sailors. The Soviet's/Russians had/have some of the bravest soldiers/sailors, that is who I have respect for, not their leaders or their Government.
