@TatsuTheOtaku Thanks! It's a 787-767 blend nose, (four windows), 787 landing gear, 767-737 wings (winglets), and the tail doesn't exist (yet). It's actual name is SWL-120.
@Mrcooldude @Aerovations I contacted SupremeDorian, it's a known issue with the server cache (happens at random intervals) and I think he's working on fixing it.
Great job! I'm going to stick with my own heavily modified version for my plane (plus I'm focusing more on modded screens now), but this is very cool and I can see a lot of work went into it.
Would you be interested in testing my SWL-120 Parts mod? I get some warnings about PC-only stuff when I build it so I would be interested to see if it works on OSX.
@Sense2 The flight model is just... realistic. There is the right amount of thrust to weight, and a realistic drag. It's not realistic by real life terms since there's one hidden inlet with drag and the entire plane is just 30k pounds, but it feels realistic and I'll take it.
Cool. I just used trigonometry to calculate the angle of depression for my VNAV system.
I also recently made a full autoland system for my SWL-120. This thing is insane.
I could probably make this functional, at least with the ability to type in a username and password, display a fake desktop environment, and open a notepad window where you can type stuff. I would do it too, if I wasn't working on my plane.
Try the city mods here. The mods are made by Toscio56, although his google drive links are no longer working. You can also try looking through my entire archive
There are likely already more than one million planes if you consider deleted posts.
In fact, this forum has the ID of 2109164, meaning 2109164 posts (biographies, crafts, forums, videos, blogs) have been made since the site was created.
@GrandmasterPotato @aMosquito I play the game pretty much every single day, often for many hours at a time. It's not that I don't play anymore, it's that I focus on working on my plane instead of posting lots of low effort planes and forums. I'm still highly active on the website, even if I don't comment that often (ping me at any time and I'll respond in a few hours unless I'm asleep). I'm probably an exception though; I know a few platinum players on Discord who just stopped playing the game.
@windshifter1 yeah that doesn't explain the meme amount of gigawatts though. I spent half an hour combining a full stream deck of macros and my G502's unlockable scroll wheel and I could only do 8 kilowatts per session.
@GoldenAviation It's hard to explain, as I didn't set out to make a cockpit screens mod to release to the public. The screens were originally developed for the SWL-120, and (as explained in the description) aren't even proper standalone parts, requiring some labels to assist with some numbers.
I don't really know how I made it into a mod; it's just a bunch of moving textures using repetitive (with changes) C# code. You can view the code yourself by downloading the source code.
@ShinyGemsBro @StockPlanesRemastered They could also be upgraded slightly with some of the new environment creation skills of the devs, which would be cool.
You probably just aren't online when everyone else is. Also, MP is a mod, which means only a select range of PC players use it (compared to everyone having access all the time)
When I was 7 my parents downloaded it to my iPad and I've just gone from there. SimplePlanes has been a major part of my life ever since (in fact, I've always been confused why other sites weren't structured like this site lol)
@MobileBuilder21 I spent 7 months so far on waypoints/maps/other stuff that is specific to SP1, so it's likely that instead of the SP1 and SP2 SWL-120s releasing together, the SP1 version will release first and then the SP2 version (and mod) will release later
This seems pretty good so far! I would suggest making all lights turn off unless a power source is active, to truly give the impression of no electrical power. For labels, I have two labels, one with and one without emission, and use a tertiary selector to hide one or the other (simple example: {CePaLights = 0 ? "" : "ELECTRICS
BAT 1 BAT 2
ENG 1 ENG 2"})
The expression would be CePaLights = 1 on the other, with the other code being the same.

+2@KLM_747 I'm stuck on a 2.2 Ghz i7-8750H 8th gen laptop... with GTX 1050 4GB...
+2Please fix this mod. Half the stuff causes an insta-crash.
+2Enter 157.7.205.136 in server ip
Secondary server is 157.7.214.47
For more info read the mod post.

When you need a train but can only use roads
+1@Aerovations Same issue.
+1@Mrcooldude @Aerovations I contacted SupremeDorian, it's a known issue with the server cache (happens at random intervals) and I think he's working on fixing it.
+1@Wingsoffirefanatic @SemedianIndustries this may actually be similar to (if not better than) the SWL-10, but then there's the SWL-120.
+1Great job! I'm going to stick with my own heavily modified version for my plane (plus I'm focusing more on modded screens now), but this is very cool and I can see a lot of work went into it.

+1@MetallicBeef6572 If you mean your own posts than I would say it's fine.
+1If those people clearly requested to be tagged then it is generally okay, but just tagging a bunch of random people is not okay.
+1@Sense2 The flight model is just... realistic. There is the right amount of thrust to weight, and a realistic drag. It's not realistic by real life terms since there's one hidden inlet with drag and the entire plane is just 30k pounds, but it feels realistic and I'll take it.
+1@Sense2 It already does.
+1@HazerzIsBack yep. Still going. I think I'll finish it this year, and I'm actually making good progress. I only have 4 months left though
+1Cool. I just used trigonometry to calculate the angle of depression for my VNAV system.
+1I also recently made a full autoland system for my SWL-120. This thing is insane.
I make SimplePlanes content but I only upload a few times a year and it's a lot of SWL-120 stuff.
+1@Kikikokikomarumaru15000 Thanks, it has been added.
+1I've always been here. While I may seem somewhat inactive, I check the website many times a day.
+1I could probably make this functional, at least with the ability to type in a username and password, display a fake desktop environment, and open a notepad window where you can type stuff. I would do it too, if I wasn't working on my plane.
+1@Raider883 they mean a PID controller
+1My autopilot tutorial may be useful; just hardcode the target altitude to be 40 after tuning the autopilot and you should be good to go.

+1@marcox43 That was MVC not me, although eventually the SWL-120's cockpit will have sounds so I will learn that then.
+1@windshifter1 yeah that doesn't explain the meme amount of gigawatts though. I spent half an hour combining a full stream deck of macros and my G502's unlockable scroll wheel and I could only do 8 kilowatts per session.
+1@32 I can confirm, although a select few mods only render to one eye.
+1(again you need to be on a computer, and have both the base game and VR)

Is this PCVR or a standalone VR headset? I've heard the new lever types aren't in VR for some reason.
+1@Solent Waypoints would be cool too, especially proper built-in ones instead of my cool-but-absurdly-complex waypoint system on the -120
+1@ShinyGemsBro @StockPlanesRemastered They could also be upgraded slightly with some of the new environment creation skills of the devs, which would be cool.
+1Pressing it will install RTX 6090ti and a free copy of SimplePlanes2 with VR (you get shipped a free VR headset)

I think you're right
+1Only took me 2 weeks, but I added it lol
+1@Randomplayer By that logic devs don't exist (I asked Andrew why and he just said they were "in hiding" lol)
+1@KPLBall Ah okay, still no sorry
+1@TheMouse You've been here for about half the time the SWL-120 has been in development.
+1That thing is ancient
I have a plane with a basic computer and autonavigation system.
+1Powered by 4 years of dedication.
@HazerzIsBack Yep. I hope to release at the end of this year.
+1The SWL-120
+1@Kendog84
+1Thanks, I'll take a look when I have a chance
