  • What are we not allowed to say here? one month ago

    I believe that someone decides. I asked once a very long time ago but I don't remember what the answer was. A bunch of mods came to my post and left lists of profanities I think.

    They can't stop you from speaking in code or doing acrostics. For unlike certain kindred methods nobody can be sure whether they are intentional.

  • Signs You are about to have a Meltdown 3 months ago

    @ColonelRelford you seem to have trumped my collection, my oldest books are all from the 1840s-50s.
    (And few of them are worthy of display cases.)

    I also had no idea you made forays into archaeology, how interesting.

    @ColonelRelford indeed; few moderns have the patience to master the form, or the correct manner of breathing required for the perfect throw.

  • The Lil’ Rotter’s Chair Throwing Game! 3 months ago

    Oh good lord. Flashbacks to the glory days.

    I think you will find it was a plastic chair; but these are accurate enough -nice and sturdy too, which is what one wants in a chair.

    Chairs should not have much give to them, or else, I find that they are rather poor for throwing, and poorer for sitting.

    9/10 doctors and psychotics alike reccomend strong, stiff chairs.

    Personally, I have a predilection for sniffing antique books; it is something of an art to take a big huff without subsequently sneezing.

    @DatTrainGuy19 I am fine, don't worry. New pastures etc etc.

  • How can I prevent my ship from rocking backand forth? 3 months ago

    @ColonelRelford I will never loose my flair for the dramatic, I think that it is innate. If I stop being dramatic something will have gone horribly wrong.

  • How can I prevent my ship from rocking backand forth? 3 months ago

    @ColonelRelford
    Regrettably, I have not finished any projects since the plague year, as I decided that it would be best to retire.

    It would be a good build for bonfire night though, now that I think about it.

    Perhaps another year, another time. I have not the fury nor love to spend on creating anything anymore.

    That me died what feels like many years ago, and it is odd to look round this place, where it is fossilised as a monument to my youthful imbecility.

    I enjoyed your little fable by the way. It contained a good moral lesson.

    Perhaps "that guy" still lurks around in the bushes living as some kind of budget Crusoe.

    But really, I think his bones are being bleached by the sun; tumbling in the warm sand, returning to dust for eternity.

  • How can I prevent my ship from rocking backand forth? 3 months ago

    @ColonelRelford because I saw you had wished me one, and I understood it to be the season of jollity and forgiveness; so why should I not respond?

    As for my okayness, I am okay.

  • How can I prevent my ship from rocking backand forth? 3.6 years ago

    Do you mean it's unstable in the water? Does it seem top-heavy?

    Ideally you want to have the centre of mass below the water.

    If that doesn't fix it you can make some small buoyant fuselages and nudge them to the sides as stabilisers. But the main thing is weight below the water- look at ship designs, and you will see most have lots of ballast, In the old days it was rocks or other weights, but now its usually a load of water tanks at the bottom of the hull.

    Is this a case of discrimination or a valid test? I'd be extremely annoyed if my aspergers prevented me from getting a flying license- or doing anything for that matter.

    This has been going on for as long as the game has had a website.

    It was far worse back in the day, If I uploaded something it would have about 5 within an hour, some blatant copies and others just garish paint jobs.

    There are nineteen frets on a guitar, 12th meets with the body, there are also no pegs- this type of guitar would have them sticking out the back of the head.

  • 1913 Morane-Saulnier H 3.6 years ago

    @VVMC Ah. I imagine that's either the engine, or the rigging wires. They tend to add a lot of lag, sorry about that.

  • Cannon firing sequence 3.6 years ago

    @VVMC It was completed about a month ago. Ive been very busy with the sailing ship- but that's almost done- ive just got to add some clutter to the deck like pumps, lifeboats and anchors and finish the Rigging and it will be done.

  • What mods should i get 3.9 years ago

    Overload, Fine Tuner and the custom paint mod are a must for building stuff.

  • Aeromotive 5C-2 3.9 years ago

    @Aerofy To stop the guns hitting the props, they either have to be right behind the props so the bullet spawns infront of it, or you can use the overload mod to disable part collisions on the props- it should make them invulnerable to bullets.

    IMO putting the armament there under the nose was for the best.

  • Sopwith Camel (v1.0) Rotary Engine & Custom Prop 3.9 years ago

    Spiffing!

    I love how you've done the gyroscopic effect of the rotary.

  • Cannon firing sequence 3.9 years ago

    @VVMC Any particular variant? There are several. The main differences are that early ones have canards and latter ones did not.

    I have to give you a disclaimer, My speed while building is oft compared to that of a sloth. And I'm currently working on two major builds, a morane saulnier parasol and a sailing ship. But the saulnier is near completion as it only needs rigging. And as I normally do two projects at a time I'll probably consider it as its been a while since I made a farman style aeroplane.

  • Cannon firing sequence 4.0 years ago

    @SgtRXMT Yes but it fires In what seems like a random order. The first gun to be placed in the builder isn't always the first to fire.

    Nice.

  • There must be a better way to do this. 4.1 years ago

    @WalrusAircraft

    Yes- and no.

    I'm building a tea clipper for some boat building practice in order for me to make the Dreadnought. And hopefully some day HMS Victory as ive got some very detailed plans of it.

    But my current hull making techniques of building a frame mirroring the shape of what I want then covering it in fuselage blocks has not been working well. It lets me envision the hull shape I want to build, but its incredibly frustrating as it's almost impossible to make it!

    So unless the devs come out with a patch for bending fuselage blocks I don't think I'll finish my clipper- a shame as ive grown quite attached to it.

  • Update 1.9.205 4.1 years ago

    Fuselage blocks should be able to twist- like a drill bit. This would be extremely useful for making ships as at the moment building properly shaped hulls is near impossible to do smoothly. And creating complex shapes with the current ones is incredibly tedious at the moment.

    Alternatively a system where you can select coordinates and fill them with a fuselage that contours to that shape.

  • Fokker DR-1 Triplane V.1 4.5 years ago

    @Zanedavid No prob, I made one years ago. I remember it was very hard to get it to fly, but that was before the days of fuselage blocks and dead weight settings. Good luck!
