@SnoWFLakE0s That's a little... basic, isn't it? It runs only once through all your beacons or whatever and then it's useless. This, on the other hand, is a proper timer, with hours, minutes, and seconds, and it loops.
@TitanIncorporated A lot of people request me to build stuff, and then get upset when I refuse (or when I say yes and then take a long time to get to it). But the thing is, I just build whatever comes to mind. If I try to accommodate requests, the game becomes no fun for me anymore. So: someday I might build a land vehicle, but don't hold me to a deadline.
@Mustang51 Well, gears don't work well enough in SimplePlanes to make really impressive animations/machines, but I suppose I could fake them with rotators.
@Treadmill103 Yeah I experimented with copper/bronze shades, but they didn't stand out enough against my preferred lighting and location conditions (see GIF). And I have a tremendous, tremendous affection for the pure grey metallic finish, now perhaps infinitely better known as the "Cybertruck grey."
@Treadmill103 What do you think of this one? When you mentioned you spawned the last one somewhere to enjoy the lighting, I thought it would be good to add some flight capability. Because setting drag to false on airbrakes doesn't do anything, flight handling deteriorates quite a bit at speed.
@enzoBoeing757 Well, I think it's best when you fly it to beautiful locations with the right lighting and watch it spin in the sun's rays. I want to encourage people to fly it.
@enzoBoeing757 It's an animation sequence that takes a relatively long time to run all the way through... the 'slow reveal.' I've updated the description as well.
@Zanedavid Yeah, and those are just external influences. What you choose to create, what personal touches you add to it, what build quality you achieve, everything is a choice that you make, consciously or subconsciously.
@Zanedavid Well, if we go by your theory, today I'm in turmoil, yesterday I experienced time dilation, ten days ago I was breathing, and 19 days ago I was a Terminator. But jokes aside, art is nothing but the expression of oneself. It's not just my abstract builds that do that, every single build I've ever made was shaped by who I am.
Glad you like it, @Imashovel @Davidzhang2671
@SnoWFLakE0s Still, that's not a timer. Anyway, I've updated the description to be more precise.
@Fighterpilot91 Of course :) How else would I capture that perfectly-angled screenshot, or record that GIF?
@TitanIncorporated Indeed.
Thanks, @Subnerdica

@Notaleopard Flight modules below a certain mass and size just don't handle as well.
Thanks, @Topgun757
@asteroidbook345 Yep. Can't think of any -- any -- other building game that offers this level of possibilities.
Thanks, @Topgun757
@Diloph Oh well, her loss.
@TitanIncorporated Nothing to be sorry about :) I was just explaining my position.
@DerekSP The discomfort is because what people don't understand makes them uncomfortable; and beauty is always hypnotic.

@Vidal99977 Nope, just math and physics. And some programming skills.
@Zanedavid Just another day at SledDriver industries.
@DeathStalker627 You're welcome.
@Diloph Say hi to her for me.
@Diloph First I make my own tools, then I use them to make these.
@ElevatorEnthusiast488 I don't understand...?
@DeathStalker627 Yeah, that's my thruster-based or "spaceship" flight module. First explained here, latest version here.
@Hedero It's all in the description...
@Mustang51 Oh, I definitely want to render some cool, precision-machined gears.
@DeathStalker627 Really? I find it very soothing.
@Mustang51 Well, gears don't work well enough in SimplePlanes to make really impressive animations/machines, but I suppose I could fake them with rotators.
@Treadmill103 Yeah I experimented with copper/bronze shades, but they didn't stand out enough against my preferred lighting and location conditions (see GIF).

@Treadmill103 With a good soundtrack it gets even better...
@Mustang51 It's a lot of fun to fly around. I can stare at it for minutes at a stretch.

@enzoBoeing757 Well, if you download the build and run it, you'll see. I've added a GIF preview.
@ElevatorEnthusiast488 Very much so.
@Brendorkus Go ahead. Nothing I like better than answering (intelligent) questions.
Thanks, @Davidzhang2671. Saying that makes you a very cool dude :)
Thank you for saying that, @Davidzhang2671
Thanks, @Alex2262. I'm going to start on actual fractals pretty soon.
@ElevatorEnthusiast488 Oh ok, but in future could you just use plain English? The point of communication is to be understood with the minimum of fuss.
Thanks, @ACEPILOT109 @jhM648
@ElevatorEnthusiast488 Thanks. Did you mean ⠉⠕⠝⠞⠑⠝⠞, though?
@asteroidbook345 You mean airbrakes...
@Potkuri It does look alive, doesn't it? One of the names I came up with was "Sines of life," but I thought that would be too corny.
Thanks, @Mercyaircraftcorporation
@Zanedavid Yeah, and those are just external influences. What you choose to create, what personal touches you add to it, what build quality you achieve, everything is a choice that you make, consciously or subconsciously.
@Noname918181 I had to look that up. Can't say I see the resemblance, though.
@Treadmill103 Well, who wouldn't want to stop being called "Simple?"
@Zanedavid Well, if we go by your theory, today I'm in turmoil, yesterday I experienced time dilation, ten days ago I was breathing, and 19 days ago I was a Terminator. But jokes aside, art is nothing but the expression of oneself. It's not just my abstract builds that do that, every single build I've ever made was shaped by who I am.
@Simpleplaner656 Well, they are right next to each other. Easy mistake.
@Simpleplaner656 Why your shoulder, specifically? How about when you stub your toe?
@UltimatePlayer123 Ha.
