This looks pretty good, but it can be even better. The five part airfoil technique allows for more advanced and smooth airfoils with more details. Here's part 1 of a tutorial on making it. (Sorry if I sound like a salesperson lol)
There is nothing wrong with what you did, but let me explain how the three work.
Once sets the variable to outputValue every time you click it, ignoring the time you hold it down.
Toggle works as expected, allowing you toggle the variable between outputValue and 0.
Continuous sets the variable to outputValue every time you click it, and will continue to write to it as long as you hold it down. What you forgot is if you set it to 1 using a switch set to Continuous, you need a method of setting it to 0 (The same rule applies to Once). As you do not, it stays at 1. Define a setter in the global variables panel called "Var1" and set it's expression to "0". Try using the switch. The expected behaviour occurs.
NOTE: Make sure you set the priority of the variable in the global setters to -1. Otherwise it will overwrite the switch and the variable will always be 0.
@IceCraftGaming In fact, I have ideas for making a plane where I 3D model lots of parts of it in an external application (fuselage base and wing root, then wing segments, then doors and large moving things), then make a mod which adds all those parts, and assemble it in SP for a part count of around 100 ish parts. Good for potato PC users.
In other news, April Fools Day is not the right time to post actual good content. Not only will it be buried by the jokes, people might think it's a joke. Here is an example of a great build which suffered this fate.
@JustWingIt Well I guess it's maybe advertising? Around page 5000 or so they all have some random link in the bio. There was also the funny one about a law firm advertising here. Ah yes a bunch of 14 year old aviation enthusiasts will need a lawyer.
Bug: RPM gauges automatically change to RotorRPM/600. I keep putting Engine1RPM/600 in (defined by the output of an engine), and I save and reload, and it changes.
To replicate, grab a dial, change it to RPM, and then put any input in. It will change upon reload.
Upon further testing, this affects ALL gauges with custom inputs. They will revert back to their default values.
Upon yet more testing, this is because the gauge doesn't change to "custom", and custom gauges work fine. The bug occurs when just the FT input to a gauge is changed. The gauge doesn't automatically change to custom.
@jamesPLANESii @BeastHunter Then there's like all the advanced builders who just have a single part with calculateDrag true, the rest are false. To improve performance.

The gear codes you are describing are this:
Gear Doors (Ones which stay open if the gear is down): (ceil(smooth(clamp01(GearDown), GearDown ? pow(10, 10) : 1 / 10.75 ))
Gear Doors (Open when gear is being retracted or extended): clamp01(abs((40 * abs(smooth((LandingGear - 0.5), 0.09))) - 20))
Gear (The landing gear): clamp01(smooth((GearDown * -2) , 1.1))
@HuskyDynamics01 SPVR is a standalone game, which is just the VR aspect. SimplePlanes by itself is not VR. Buying both unlocks VR in the base game, allowing you to enter VR right after building something. You only need SPVR to fly in VR.
It was taking off from Tarpley Airfield (aka Wright Airport), flying the old, old P-51 Mustang in orbit view on iOS (this was very soon after SP was released) without understanding how to move the camera, so I was stuck in one position in orbit view.
There are many more memories but this is my first.
Now about RAM, 12GB should work alright, but it's all about balancing out the specs. If your other components are midrange, then your RAM should be 16-32GB. if you have a low end computer, then lower would be fine.
I think the reason these accounts are being hacked is reusing the same password across different sites. If one less secure site suffers a data breach, then that username and password can be tried on other sites, and if it works, then the account on that site is compromised.
On the topic of "commenting on the Veri**pro posts can get you hacked", no. Unless the hackers somehow compromise the SimplePlanes website itself (even then hacking users would be unlikely), you cannot get hacked if you don't provide any personal information or download malware.
My recommendations, at least for now, are pretty simple: change all your passwords to strong random character passwords (unique to each site), and don't click any suspicious link.

+4it sorta looks like sp...
+4Will every single switch work?
+4It takes like a single extra part per segment. I personally use a five part airfoil, but sheesh, a basic airfoil is 2 parts. IT'S SO EASY!
+4Please tag me on anything you post. If you ever need help, also tag me.

I used to have a PC. Now I have a small star.

@BaconAircraft @OrderlyHippo And on top of that, they should be happy about the free advertising!

It's amazing how many bots sign up per day. I swear this has increased by like 200 pages since a week ago.

@Stickman The 1.12 beta, which is currently available with the lack of a blog post.

+4Can we please have engine fuel flow variables?
+4HOLY SH--
+4How is it dead? There have been like 32 forum posts in just a day, which is actually quite high.
+3I wanted to recreate this but instead SimplePlanes ate my CPU

+3Gravatar is a service provided by WordPress. From what I've found, a Gravatar account is a WordPress account.
+3@longanbieu I do in fact have this mod in my archive. You can download it here.
+3I have this mod saved in my archives, and it can be downloaded here. No android.
+3There's not many changes aside from different switch and lever models. 1.12.128 is still significant and many users are still staying on it.

@jamesPLANESii This has gotta be a record for the best first build.
+3The first suggestion already exists.
+3"Test Tag" or "Testing". Both have a single post.
+3It's already possible with FT I believe
+3I believe publicly uploading other's builds if the account is deleted is against the rules.
+3Probably because the only modifications are the addition of text and/or a the removal of a few parts.
