  • Problem with front canard aircraft 9.5 years ago

    Which profiles are you using on the two wings? Also if you're using delta wings, they can be kinda funny regardless of whether you have canards or not because the chord length is so long

  • Give me ideas! 9.5 years ago

    The Aerion AS-2. It's a supersonic business jet concept with some nifty-looking laminar flow wings

  • MediocreFails 9.5 years ago

    These descriptions made me want to see all of them hahaha

  • Small fuselage body 9.5 years ago

    NewAir is right about xml modding, but if you don't want to jailbreak your phone, you can just take the part from an existing plane and save it in your subassemblies

  • Avro 730 9.5 years ago

    @amazingperson124 patiently. I wish I had known when I was building this that structural panels don't block inlets, it would have made it a lot easier

  • My plane to upvote ratio 9.5 years ago

    @CDUflappy I didn't see what you posted, but are you alright?

  • My plane to upvote ratio 9.5 years ago

    Just a fraction above 7:1 for me, although that's a little inflated by the successor points from unlisted ones that I helped people with

  • Why do people not reply to me? :( 9.5 years ago

    @Coen1888 if you put my name in a comment with an @ symbol, just like you do when you reply here, I'll get a notification so that I know to come see it when it's ready

  • Avro 730 9.5 years ago

    @amazingperson124 thanks for the vote!

  • Why do people not reply to me? :( 9.5 years ago

    @Coen1888 Sweet, tag me when it's ready so I can see!

  • Why do people not reply to me? :( 9.5 years ago

    @Coen1888 hmm, if you like supercars then maybe a James Bond Aston Martin with the rockets in the front grille

  • Why do people not reply to me? :( 9.5 years ago

    @Sirstupid I wasn't meaning for people to upvote that, but thank you very much anyway haha

  • Why do people not reply to me? :( 9.5 years ago

    @Coen1888 as for cars, Morgans are awesome

  • Why do people not reply to me? :( 9.5 years ago

    @Coen1888 a lot of planes - especially smaller and simpler ones - get skipped over. It's unfortunate, but it happens. I worked really hard on this one and it got ignored completely for a month (link removed because I really, genuinely wasn't trying to advertise my old plane. Thank you to those who upvoted, though). It's okay, though - if you can build planes for yourself, you can just have fun and not worry about votes. I'll test your plane out and see if I can help

  • Why do people not reply to me? :( 9.5 years ago

    @Coen1888 well that's alright, we can help you! Once you know the basics you'll find it a lot easier

  • Why do people not reply to me? :( 9.5 years ago

    @Coen1888 what stops you from building planes?

  • Ku.44 Reiver 9.5 years ago

    @Eli3777 yeah, I was a little unhappy about that, but it was just a quick build for the livestream. I'm gonna try to get a more refined version ready for next week

  • Roundels needed 9.5 years ago

    I started making the weirder insignias, but there's an issue with the Steam version that stopped me from getting some of the details down. I'm gonna look at them again after the next update

  • Mod request! 9.5 years ago

    @Samwise shouldn't do... but maybe it has. Are you able to get it back up to speed?

  • Mod request! 9.5 years ago

    @Samwise did you change anything on it? Genuinely I didn't touch the prop

  • Modded parts 9.5 years ago

    What are you trying to do with them?

  • How to improve 9.5 years ago

    @Oicraftian sweet, I've managed to get some success using vectored thrust for that, but never purely aerodynamic control. Let me know how it turns out!

  • I need help 9.5 years ago

    @Dstroyer101 did it not work how you wanted? I can take a look if you want

  • Mod request! 9.5 years ago

    @Samwise sorted. I didn't touch the prop because it actually already goes faster than you asked for anyway

  • B52 9.5 years ago

    @JMicah4 cheers dude. I'll upvote this instead, since it's unlisted

  • Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15 Fago (Propellor Version) 9.5 years ago

    It might be worth using the T2000 prop instead, it's a bit wider and should line up nicely with the nose

  • Hawk 9.5 years ago

    @MADMAN81413 it is, and by the looks of things just a straight up copy. Thanks.

    @Jochrivo have you actually changed anything, or is this just my plane?

  • How to effectively take screenshots of your plane for uploading 9.5 years ago

    One thing I would add to this: don't take screenshots from the direct front,side, or top angles. We can see those anyway on your plane's page, and almost nothing on SP looks good or interesting from those angles

  • Help Pitching... 9.5 years ago

    @LeoBrasi your options for better manoeuvering are to bring the CoL and CoM closer together, reduce the wing loading, and make sure that yousurfaces are as big as they can be without making your plane twitch under heavy turning

  • Wish me Luck! 9.5 years ago

    Good luck with the exam, and congratulations on getting platinum too!

  • XML is useless to create planes with a good handling. ;) 9.5 years ago

    @Baldovino heh, fair enough then

  • Live Stream from Today now on YouTube 9.5 years ago

    @JMicah4 cheers, I'll have to go test yours out. I'll make sure that the my next version is a little more AI-friendly

  • Live Stream from Today now on YouTube 9.5 years ago

    @JMicah4 yeah, there's some kind of issue with the races just now. I can't help that the AI pilot flew terribly hahahaha

  • Live Stream from Today now on YouTube 9.5 years ago

    @JMicah4 oh don't you worry, if this is to become a regular feature then I'll build something properly fast

  • Live Stream from Today now on YouTube 9.5 years ago

    @Sirstupid if you don't fancy landing there yourself, you can paste this in to the locations section of your settings.xml.

          Location name="North Runway" position="-3838.02,280.84,6336.11" rotation="0,-109.5,0" initialVelocity="0" isDefaultPosition="False" /
    

    You'll need to add a less than symbol at the very start, and a greater than at the very end. SimplePlanes.com doesn't let you post comments with those included, sorry

  • XML is useless to create planes with a good handling. ;) 9.5 years ago

    As HellFire said, xml edits are just a tool. It doesn't really matter which tool you use, it's the design that will make it work or not

  • Ku.44 Reiver 9.5 years ago

    @Rohan nah, the guns were mostly just an afterthought. It's not actually very good at dogfighting in AI hands because the yaw surfaces are way too big

  • Stuff to add 9.5 years ago

    @Codex1444 the best way to make a circular intake is to use one of the two big turbofan engines - they still count as intakes if the front is exposed

  • I need help 9.5 years ago

    @Dstroyer101 if the wheels you're using are landing gears, a small prop or jet engine is probably your best bet. You can even xml edit them to limit the max thrust, if you want. If you're using large wheels made from fuselage sections or something, VTOL nozzles on the wheels will probably work

  • Mod request! 9.5 years ago

    @Samwise do you still have it? I can take a look if you want

  • How to improve 9.5 years ago

    @Oicraftian I'll be honest, I can't help you there. A good number of my planes never even get rudders. They're not a big part of controlling a plane most of the time, anyway

  • How to improve 9.5 years ago

    @Oicraftian hey there's no reason to worry about it mate, the Zero handles excellently. I'll be sure to check those other planes out

  • Silver-Blood Devil 9.5 years ago

    Perfect for those of us that can't aim for love nor money! There is a definite satisfaction to just piling endless explosions in to everything

  • Hawk w(smoke trail no mods 9.5 years ago

    @dan242 thanks for looking out for that dude.

    @crashedfrog I'm not the kind person to get upset over people copying my stuff or anything, but try not to do it. If you do want to make your own version, see what you can improve! Maybe you can get it handling better or something

  • should there be an age requierment for simple planes 9.5 years ago

    Well, he got his answer...

  • v1.3 mobile permissions 9.5 years ago

    @AndrewGarrison thanks for the clarification.

    @Delphinus thanks to you too!

  • Live Stream Today from 2PM-2:30PM (CST) 9.5 years ago

    I put something together. I wanted to stay away from performance-boosting xml edits, so I've kept it simple

  • Modding help please 9.5 years ago

    @RedHawk I don't mind where it goes, I just need to know a size to work to is all

  • Modding help please 9.5 years ago

    @RedHawk Alright, I'll give it a shot some time over the weekend, but I can't guarantee anything, I've not done much stuff like this

  • v1.3 mobile permissions 9.5 years ago

    @RocketLL I dunno, I haven't installed it yet. I haven't seen any mention of one, though, just the usual Everyplay stuff which only records the screen
