@pk41382 This only works if you're using a device that lets you edit files directly.
Go to your AircraftDesigns folder (where all your airplanes are saved). On my Windows PC, this is C:\Users\<username>\AppData\LocalLow\Jundroo\SimplePlanes\AircraftDesigns
Go up one level
Open the file CloudSettings.xml
You'll see a bunch of Location items. On each Location item, you'll see position, rotation, and initialVelocity. These define the spawn point for your aircraft/vehicle.
Each Location item has a DynamicObjects child, which in turn has seven DynamicObject children. These have the position and rotation values for each of the ships.
@KSPFSXandSP Also, even if everyone on here did hate me and my work, and I got zero upvotes, I'd still be building and posting. I'll be damned if I let anyone stop me from doing something I want to do.
I don't "hate" the community, I just don't follow its religion of replica-model-building, part-count-worship or whatever.
I'm not building or uploading them for the community; I'm doing it for myself. I build because I like to build beautiful things, not to get anyone's approval. My mindset when posting is not "I hope people like it and give me validation," it's "here's something beautiful/impressive/amazing, let's see if there's anyone out there with the good taste to like it."
The community is not one homogeneous group with everyone holding the same opinions. There are people on here that I like just fine. It's just some people who seem to have assumed the role of arbiters of SP groupthink and seem to believe that they can criticise anyone's work, but can't stand having their work criticised in return.
@Jetpackturtle Well, as long as you read it finally. Seeing as how you don't think this is upvote-worthy, would you mind deleting your comments and not upvoting or commenting on my posts in future?
@Stingray Hmm, now that you mention it, it could pass for a bat-aircraft. Needs more guns, though. Thanks, glad you like its flight handling. All my aircraft pretty much fly the same these days.
I designed it that way. It's intentional. I'm not unaware that the actual SR-71 cockpit is very different from what I built. It was a conscious decision to go with the one I did.
> Furthermore, I didn't take your statement on what you like and dislike as an attack, I was simply offering a suggestion.
Outright lie right there. Your unedited post said something about why I have to "go on an all-out attack" on you.
> Finally, isn't the comment section meant for giving feedback?
Perhaps to you. If I wanted feedback, I'd write "Feedback welcome" or something like that in the description. In SP as in real life, I only want to hear from positive people, not jealous, hypocritical, negative, rude idiots who offer their opinions without being asked, and who don't even take the trouble to understand what someone is saying before attacking him.
I wish there was a way to disable comments entirely, or to have a whitelist of people who're allowed to comment on your posts. I want to spend my time building beautiful planes, not arguing with the wilfully stupid.
@Supercraft888 If you keep editing your posts to change them entirely, that's quite a bit dishonest.
> Woah now mate, im just suggesting something on your aircraft, im just saying to stay true to the actual SR-71 the cockpit is very angular and sharp, almost like a point
And who are you to say that? If I want to put a bubble canopy on my SR-71, I will. If I want to give it an open cockpit, I will. If you don't like a build, don't upvote it, move on, and don't give critical feedback unless asked to. Is something so simple that hard to understand?
@Supercraft888 I'm actually really surprised -- how is it that a simple statement of facts and my personal likes and dislikes is taken as an attack by you people? You bunch are the most oversensitive, clueless people I've ever encountered.
@Supercraft888 I don't like the kind of cockpits you like. The cockpits you like look clunky and crude to me. A cockpit like that would look even clunkier and cruder on one of my aircraft, considering how smooth the rest of them are. So, given the choice between an out-of-place, clunky cockpit and one that melds smoothly into the airframe, I choose the latter.
@MrDoolittle Obviously you cannot understand clear and simple English. You completely misunderstood the thread. Then you have the nerve to throw in a personal taunt. Bye now.
> Understood? (<--- see how rude it is? talking to me like a father would talk to a misbehaving son?)
Well, this is embarrassing. I said "Understood?" to make a point -- see how it feels when someone gives you a peremptory command (as in "Also, update your profile")? I guess I should skip the (not so) subtle hints and explain things very simply in future. To recap, I said "Understood?" as a way to illustrate how it feels when someone orders you about. "To be honest, I can't believe you didn't get the hint." Oh, the irony.
> I said that because I knew that I had made a script. Your response, that nobody has, is completely illogical... how can you tell?
In a sense you are correct: there's no way to tell whether someone has made a script like mine, just as you can't prove a negative. In the real world, however, rational people make allowances for common sense. What would be the point of making such a script if one never used it? Therefore, if there is no evidence of such a script ever having been used, it's a reasonable assumption no such script exists.
> If I said that you weren't the only one, I must have known that for sure, otherwise I wouldn't have said it.
You're assuming that I knew beforehand that you're a perfectly rational person. People make statements that make no sense, all the time. And considering you still haven't produced any evidence of a script like mine, well... you shouldn't have said it.
> And since I'm a modder...
Well, you're a modder who can't do what I do, so I wouldn't make that statement with such overpowering hubris.
@WNP78 Also, who the heck do you think you are to say this: "Also, update your bio." So commanding. Much condescension. Such arrogance. Try it like this: "Also, I think you should update your bio."
@WNP78 The fact that you say I've "blown it up" tells me that your judgment is pretty poor.
One, I am and have been perfectly calm throughout. Read my posts. There's no anger there.
Two, yes, I am the only person to make smooth shapes using scripts. No one else has even come close. If you have any examples to the contrary, I'd love to see them.
@FGW2014 lockTime="0.01" will make them lock on in one-hundredth of a second. Other useful settings are maxRange, maxTargetingAngle, maxSpeed, maxHeadingAngleAdjustmentRate, maxVelocityAngleAdjustmentRate.
@PyrusEnderhunter As I said, it's meant to be an approximation, not a replica. Maybe building extremely detailed cockpits is your thing. It isn't mine.
@Sauce Oh I see, I hurt little @Blue0Bull's feewings so his loser buddies are coming out in force to avenge him. What you think is your business, and I never asked you for your opinion. The quality of your composition matches the quality of your thinking, namely, bullcrap. Bye now.
@TMach5 Thanks, but at SledDriver Industries, pretty much all our aircraft have the same excellent flight characteristics, especially the more recent ones.
@dootdootbananabus The SR-72 was, in fact, on my mind when I was designing the side profile. Good eye.

@KSPFSXandSP Humour gets upvotes, sure, but so should beauty and performance.
@pk41382 By editing CloudSettings.xml.
@Z3RO Thanks, glad you like it. If you want your SP to look like that, I can give you the shader I'm using.
Nice build again. Just a tip, don't post more than one build a day or so. Otherwise you're just competing with yourself for upvotes.
This would have been good if a bronze user had built it. For someone so new to the game, this is very good indeed.
@NathanAviation Thanks, this is one of my favourites.
@Stingray True. But my builds are usually similar in size, so I can reuse my existing flight module that I've perfected over months.
@Jetpackturtle Well, as long as you read it finally. Seeing as how you don't think this is upvote-worthy, would you mind deleting your comments and not upvoting or commenting on my posts in future?

Looks like a drone version of the F-35. Nice work.
Thanks, @Sfoster1109
@KSPFSXandSP Yeah, what about it? This thing of beauty gets 27 upvotes, a flying pig that shoots missiles out of its rear end gets 60. Can't say that inspires much respect or affection in me.
Glad you like it, @avvy66
Thanks, @DemonSniper8 @BaconRoll @sxy
@KSPFSXandSP A present to the community the majority of which has given me nothing but resentment and jealousy? I don't think so.
@ahappyape Well, thank you for saying that.
@BaconRoll Thanks, and Merry Christmas to you too. Holy crap, I never made that connection.
@phanps Thanks, Merry Christmas to you too.
@ahappyape Oh, ok. I only asked because it's so rare (for me, at least) to get an upvote on a build that's older than a couple of days.
@Supercraft888 Merry Christmas to you.
@Supercraft888

Great build, very original design, flies well too.

@KSPFSXandSP Certainly not now, after the stupidity I've had to wade through on the successor airplane's thread.
@KSPFSXandSP If you read even slight anger, leave alone fury, in my comments then you're terrible at reading comprehension.
@MrDoolittle Obviously you cannot understand clear and simple English. You completely misunderstood the thread. Then you have the nerve to throw in a personal taunt. Bye now.
Thanks, @BaconRoll, she's beautiful isn't she?
@Nukelord yeah, the website has a few quirks.
@Nukelord oh ok. Merry Christmas to you too.
Thanks, @Z3RO.
@WNP78 Forgot to respond to this bit.
> Again, I just mentioned that you should update your bio. You blew it up into an "arrogant" attack on your personality.
No, you have it completely wrong. My problem isn't that you asked me to update my profile, it's that you said it in an arrogant, commanding way.

+1@PyrusEnderhunter As I said, it's meant to be an approximation, not a replica. Maybe building extremely detailed cockpits is your thing. It isn't mine.
@Blue0Bull Oh look, you removed your upvote. How childish :)
I didn't "attack" your build(s), I merely gave you feedback. What's the matter, can dish it out but can't take it?
> Maybe stop using scripts and try building real aircrafts
Aww, someone's jealous. Bye now.
@Sauce Oh I see, I hurt little @Blue0Bull's feewings so his loser buddies are coming out in force to avenge him. What you think is your business, and I never asked you for your opinion. The quality of your composition matches the quality of your thinking, namely, bullcrap. Bye now.
@PyrusEnderhunter Same thing that's up with the rest of the airplane. It's not meant to be a replica, but an approximation. See also my comment here.
Hello, @Nukelord. What can I do for you?
@TMach5 Thanks, but at SledDriver Industries, pretty much all our aircraft have the same excellent flight characteristics, especially the more recent ones.
Thanks, @Helicopterboy. If you like it, remember to upvote it...
