@PlanesOfOld I'm not talking about your dad, I'm talking about the cold, hard fact that older people as an age group drink the most in the UK. It's just less visible. If you've ever worked as a bartender, you'll know where the old drunk guys are and what they're like
@Thefalloutplayr he's actually not too far beneath average height, Obama is quite tall (1.7m and 1.85m respectively - 5'7" and 6'1" for you guys across the pond)
@PlanesOfOld regarding alcoholism and its relationship to age in the UK, 55-64 is actually the age group that consumes the most alcohol and suffers the most alcohol-related deaths. As for LordWhisting, confirmed alt of TheOldColonel, but I need to double check why only some of his alts have been banned before I do anything
@Samwise if it helps, wings and structural panels don't block airflow, so you can hide intakes behind those. I dunno if that's useful for whatever you're building, but just in case
You should be able to do the landing gear on iOS, actually. Give the fuselage 0.5 less height than you actually want at each end, attach the gear, then change the height to what it should be. The gear will stay in place, so it's now embedded in the fuselage. As for the intake, I'm afraid those don't work when nudged inside fuselages.
@Thelaw11 it's a style of plane made popular by Hypnotoad, one of the site's first and biggest users. Unfortunately he's not active any more, but a lot of people make designs in that sort of vein. The planes are defined by being almost entirely made of angular wing sections, with a very disconnected and alien sort of look.
@Thefalloutplayr I don't recall having visited this post before, nor otherwise expressing an opinion on it. Whilst I'm not going to remove this or anything, I certainly do not appreciate you putting words in my mouth
@Thetank2 we most certainly can remove planes and ban users when they break the rules. We'll keep doing so until people learn, too. It's not like we're saying YouTubers aren't welcome, we just don't want the rest of the community to be ruined by it.
@flyingwaffle right, sorry it took me so long to get to this, I've been rather busy. I wasn't really sure what you wanted so I did this. It's bigger, as you asked, and it steers more smoothly and easily too, without rolling over. Weaponry has been greatly updated - the guns have been paired up to fit on two turrets, which have limited arcs so that they can't destroy the ship. They also now have elevation control, and can destroy bridges. The missile pods have been moved to the bow. I've also added a bunch of guided missiles - 10 infernos and 4 interceptors. The interceptors are for anti-air duties, the infernos are mostly for sinking other ships. If you lock on from a distance, they fire straight up and then arc down on to the target, it's pretty sweet. I also made a couple of small changes to the appearance and bouyancy settings
@ShatterFox @SimpleTechAndResearch that's concept art by Tony Holmsten for a game called Killer is Dead. This is the page on his website for that game. No more planes from the game, sadly, but his site does have some more
@FatNinja it shouldn't, no. I had a quick look at your planes, though; you've already got some wing loadings that are easily low enough to top-notch manoeuvrability. This one in particular has the potential to handle fantastically. Moving the CoM back a bit does this. Note that I haven't spent the time to balance this one properly, so it noses down a bit, but it should definitely demonstrate to handling potential in that plane.
@Mod you're an idiot hahaha. Sorry I haven't been on Hangouts or Steam lately, I've just needed a little time to be antisocial and avoid people. I'll be back soon
@Flightsonic I just asked you to take a screenshot so we could see, because when I look, Salvador's profile just shows the regular image for a user that doesn't have a gravatar
@Kimo well I have to keep an eye on things, after all! That design looks interesting, I shall try to finish my current project as quickly as I can so that I can help
Somewhere around 300, I definitely do not have the patience to look more accurately than that
@ShatterFox @Tully2001 it should look like this:
@Jetspeed1001 mate if you saw the number of copy reports we get, you would do the same
@Jetspeed1001 well we figured that the best way to deal with all the people copying planes to get points was to just get rid of points altogether.
NOT QUITE
@BOBCAT no worries, I'll be looking forward to the finished thing!
@HellFireKoder this is pretty sweet, I had fun trying to weave through that canyon near the centre of the island
@BOBCAT can you upload the entire project? Maybe one of us can fix it
@Sniper16 I need to make a SCOATLUND version of that with deep-fried Mars bars, irn bru, kilts, and someone getting glassed
@ThunderscreechEngineering which browser are you using to try to download it?

@LordWhisting you can give that a break.
@Allstar dem time zones tho

@PlanesOfOld c'mon man, he admitted he was in the wrong and removed the comment. The alcoholism thing is not entirely unfounded anyway.

@GameingKingRPKtherillone don't spam. Your comments have been removed.
@Warbrine spot on
@TehJetMan that wasn't spam, you started an argument with a misunderstood joke. It's probably best if both of you leave this be.
@MoterKade rather than putting the .xml on dropbox, you can also upload the plane unlisted and give us a link to that. Whatever is easiest for you!
@Thefalloutplayr I don't recall having visited this post before, nor otherwise expressing an opinion on it. Whilst I'm not going to remove this or anything, I certainly do not appreciate you putting words in my mouth
@Seraphinium I dislike these posts, but there's not actually a rule against them
@Phantion just pasting the URL here is fine, but if you want a fancy clickable link, you can do them like this:
[Display text](URL)Please don't upload things that you didn't make. Everybody already has the stock planes.
@JacobHardy64 @humangrenade alright guys, let's leave this here. No hard feelings needed, I hope
@Phantion ahh, tags won't work on unlisted planes, you'll need to give me a link

@Flyingtacos go for it

@ShatterFox
Looking impressive. I can try getting it to work, if you like.
@Garuda1ITalisman loaded weight divided by wing area
@ShatterFox @SimpleTechAndResearch that's concept art by Tony Holmsten for a game called Killer is Dead. This is the page on his website for that game. No more planes from the game, sadly, but his site does have some more

@Mod WHATCHU GON' DO, HUH? BAN ME?
Ehh I disappear from Hangouts occasionally, I'm sure nobody will mind too much. It's not like they don't know to find me here if they want.
@FatNinja use less weight and/or more wing area
@humangrenade not that I know of. Why do you ask?
@Mod you're an idiot hahaha. Sorry I haven't been on Hangouts or Steam lately, I've just needed a little time to be antisocial and avoid people. I'll be back soon
@Thefalloutplayr I don't have one, unfortunately I haven't had a whole lot of time for SP this week
@DeezDucks I can do something like that. I'm busy just now but I'll get back to you on it soon!
@DeezDucks what sort of thing did you have in mind?
@Flightsonic ah right, cool
@KingDeadshot @Jetspeed1001 @JacobHardy64 @TehDuck
@Flightsonic I just asked you to take a screenshot so we could see, because when I look, Salvador's profile just shows the regular image for a user that doesn't have a gravatar
Can you screenshot that for us? I just see the regular image for when the user doesn't have a gravatar
@Kimo well I have to keep an eye on things, after all! That design looks interesting, I shall try to finish my current project as quickly as I can so that I can help
