@GGundaMMM For more information read the FAQ of this post, but there is a version with mods and a version without (as of now the cockpit is vanilla), and I don't know the release date.
Funky trees in label {} cannot be stacked. If the code above is everything in the label, I would use <size={Activate8 ? "100" : "0"}%> at the beginning.
@126 There was the whole verifpro thing a while ago where actual users got hacked, likely from reused passwords where other sites had data breaches and the user used the same password.
I should also note that when I personally choose to visit a site (sometimes I get curious as to what exactly the scam even is), I use a new private window with my adblocker and many other privacy settings (also a new browser session too)). I should also note that aside from rare zero-day vulnerabilities (exploits in browsers themselves which websites can take advantage of), you generally won't get instantly hacked as long as you don't install/download anything (also always have a private/incognito window instead of a normal session).
@126 It depends on what the link is. Some of them are scams or malicious (and if you don't know what you're doing then it's best to not visit those sites), but many are just dodgy articles on a website that while not necessarily is malware itself, but is not a trustworthy source of information. Additionally some of the links are directly to sites to buy scam products.
@126 And on that note, who is behind the bots? It could be just some AI, but why make a "bot comment" / "bot forum" about something like Google or some other reputable brand? I saw one recently here which is just various ways of formatting a Google link.
@FlyingPotato_131 Your ILS is the only one I've seen so far which supports any heading, and has a simple latitude and longitude input making it easy to add lots of mod airports (another one I've seen uses two latitudes and two longitudes for some reason).
@Airbus332 @TheFlightGuySP I have been inspecting all map plugins for integration into the SWL-120's systems in the form of waypoints and ILS, and I can confirm even with just the Droplet, I get stuttering with this mod.
Hello again, just tested this, and I really like it, especially its support for headings not on the four cardinal directions and easy addition of mod airports. I think I'll use this specific ILS (with credit) in my SWL-120.
@BaconEggs You will be happy to know I have just started preparing to add support for THE ITEMS into the SWL-120's FMC and other systems.
There will be many waypoints, as well as (eventually) full ILS support for every runway.
This basic autopilot has altitude, heading, and speed control, with adjustable vertical speed and bank angle. The next step is to add support for flight plans, with autonavigation to a series of waypoints.
@126 From a quick look it seems like the mechanism is simply too complex for SP. My landing gear does have a complex retraction mechanism, however it's all on one simple axis (I kinda cheated there, as both struts are on the same axis unlike most irl planes).
@Sense2 Parts of it are finished, but from what I know it's not in one file ready to use. It also has no flight model whatsoever. I do have plans to finish it after the SWL-120 but that will be many years away. If you still want the separate parts I think klm747 will let you have them.
@Transair56 that is about the true part count unmodded, although the no mods version is a cargo version because even I would not be able to run the full 30,000 part plane.

Comment 1:
Many reference pictures from Google and my own. I've also visited like 5 cockpits (multiple 787, one 737, and one A320) in person, asked questions, and took pictures. That's moreso for the cockpit details, but for landing gear, I again do a lot of research, and the fact I'm building fictional allows me some creative liberty.
Comment 2:
I modelled the entire livery in a 3D modelling program called SketchUp Make, then added it to the game as one mod part.
Comment 3:
Just like the livery, the entire nose gear (aside from rotators and springs of course) is modelled in SketchUp Make. I actually made a video a while ago explaining the process, which you can view here.
@Sense2 I can't easily explain that in a comment (It doesn't help that I haven't started the SWL-120's navigation screen either), sorry. You'll want to use <pos> and <voffset> tags with latitude and longitude to start with.
@MobileBuilder21 The thing with an A380 or a similarly sized plane is the detail density would be a little lower due to the performance requirements. In fact, if/when I work on my next project in a few years (it will likely be me finishing this 717), I will be able to add even more details due to the slightly smaller plane.
About SP2, I will port the SWL-120 to SP2 myself and rebuild the mod for that game too. I do not plan to just "abandon" this plane in SP1. While the SP2 version of the SWL-120 won't be a fully SP2 plane with all the new parts, I might add a few features in SP2 if they make sense.
@Boeing727200F Each blade is made up of two hollow fuselages. The entire engine is 4000 parts (yes, there's a full interior), and is modded down to like 50 parts or something. You can view more information here.
@Transair56 Depends on what file I load up, but from the last test assembly of everything a few days ago, about 2100 parts currently. I think it should be no more than 3000 parts for release. I expect the no mods version to be almost 5000 though.
@Randomplayer @haloimsameer The part count of the plane shown in the video is actually like 950 or something, however (excluding externally modelled parts) the true exported part count is north of 20,000. And I'm running this at 144FPS.
Just a showcase of the level of interactivity of this plane.
In terms of other updates, the nose gear model is done, I just need to code it and record the last of the nose gear video. Once that's done I can finally release the ninth progress update.
@RamboJutter Another tip if you want to find the original images; Discord links will still get the image if posted in Discord itself, you just can't see them outside of Discord.
The code looks fine to me, but did you set the interactionType of your switches to Toggle?
@GGundaMMM The modded version has a full interior and extra details, while the no mods version is a cargo version.
@Yoinkus What part didn't work?

@126 Link to forum on what Verifpro is
@126 There was the whole verifpro thing a while ago where actual users got hacked, likely from reused passwords where other sites had data breaches and the user used the same password.

Something else I noticed is markdown hyperlinks no longer work for 0 point users, which was likely added to make bot links more obvious.

@basedpilot69 Hello, here is the mod.
This is legit a pretty fun plane to fly (I've been testing the ILS a lot)
SWL-10 and my upcoming SWL-120
@TheFlightGuySP Sounds good!
@Airbus332 @TheFlightGuySP I have been inspecting all map plugins for integration into the SWL-120's systems in the form of waypoints and ILS, and I can confirm even with just the Droplet, I get stuttering with this mod.

@Rb2h It has not, and I can still view it on my end. That's weird.
@BaconEggs You will be happy to know I have just started preparing to add support for THE ITEMS into the SWL-120's FMC and other systems.

Advanced Autopilot Here
This basic autopilot has altitude, heading, and speed control, with adjustable vertical speed and bank angle. The next step is to add support for flight plans, with autonavigation to a series of waypoints.
@overlord5453 What @overlord5453 said makes sense
@haloimsameer That is already one of the planned versions.
@BMilan Here's the whole Mikoyanster folder
@Stinkysock 2000 parts modded, 3000+ unmodded.
@Radkiel Good luck then, I guess it might also be that I'm not very good at extremely complex mechanisms, moreso at coding.
@126 yes
@126 From a quick look it seems like the mechanism is simply too complex for SP. My landing gear does have a complex retraction mechanism, however it's all on one simple axis (I kinda cheated there, as both struts are on the same axis unlike most irl planes).
@CaptainNoble idk if I have or even how to (Australian btw)
@Sense2 Good luck.
You may also want the many planning documents and notes surrounding its development.
@Sense2 Parts of it are finished, but from what I know it's not in one file ready to use. It also has no flight model whatsoever. I do have plans to finish it after the SWL-120 but that will be many years away. If you still want the separate parts I think klm747 will let you have them.
@Randomplayer In that case it would be based off PartID, which makes sense. It's also how cameras are ordered.
@Transair56 that is about the true part count unmodded, although the no mods version is a cargo version because even I would not be able to run the full 30,000 part plane.
@QuiteInactiveWhiteBread Yes, although some mod parts are modelled externally.

@QuiteInactiveWhiteBread Months of dedication.
@Sense2 If you mean my waypoint map, here you go.
@Johnnyynf I have this video I made a while ago.

Just a small thing I recently did using the tone generator mod.

@Aviationguy24 it uses mods and requires a really high end computer to run.

No clue as I don't have mobile and use DesignerSuite for the rare times I need blueprint images, sorry.
