@Mustang51 Well, that's what happens when people have an agenda instead of just telling a good story. Combine that with throwing away the essential elements of a good Terminator film and you have twice the disaster.
@thefalkenreich Hmm, the number of people who've ever used my flight modules is three, I think. I'm not sure there's a market there for a mech skeleton.
@Type2volkswagen Let's see if I understand. You have a 'low fuel' light that starts flashing when the fuel drops below 25%. Then you have a steady light that comes on when the fuel drops below 99%. The low fuel light will already be off until the fuel drops below 25%, so what's the question again?
@stig27 Sure. If you want a light to come on when the fuel drops below 25%, use this for the input:
max(0, 0.25 - Fuel)
As long as the fuel remaining is over 0.25 (25%), 0.25 - Fuel will be a negative value, i.e., less than zero. So max(0, negative_value) will always be zero. As soon as the fuel drops below 0.25, 0.25 - Fuel will be a positive number, so max(0, positive_value) will return positive_value, turning the light on.
@Thelegitpilot13 It sure did -- the P-42 set 27 world records between 1986 and 1993.
A fun story about the P-42: because its thrust-to-weight ratio was so high (1.93 : 1), its brakes couldn't hold it still at maximum thrust. They had to use a bulldozer with a steel cable to hold the aircraft down for max performance takeoffs.
@Thelegitpilot13 Well, the P-42's sole purpose was to set records to prove the Su-27's superiority over the F-15, so they even removed the front-facing radar, most of the avionics, the airbrake, the gun, the weapon hardpoints, and a whole lot more. More information here.
Thanks, @Squiroga02. I built this by editing the XML file directly in a code editor to set the sizes and offsets, then putting the blocks together in the game by hand. The wings and control surfaces are hidden inside the build.
@Diloph Yep. Did you know that if you use a code editor to edit the XML, you can set the drag, mass, and other attributes not for just each part one by one, but on a bunch of parts at once?
@Shadowed You can't do it in SP. I run my scripts outside the game to generate the XML for the shapes I want, then I open those XML files in SP like a regular build.
@Mumpsy I can never keep those two straight myself... just looked it up and it appears the British use 'license' as a verb while 'licence' is a noun; Americans just use 'license' for both.
@CRJ900Pilot Any sequence of instructions for a computer is called a program, whether that involves toggling a bunch of switches into a specific configuration, punching holes in cards, or writing code in a text editor. Scripts are a special case in that they are interpreted by the computer in real time, every time you run them, whereas other programs are compiled once to create a binary executable (like SimplePlanes.exe on Windows) which can be run directly without the interpretation step.
@Minecraftpoweer If you think this is impressive, check out the demoscene or Shadertoy. These are the kind of things you can do when you augment the creative power of the human brain with the processing power of computers.
@Mmdben Indeed he is. Some of my favourite Schwarzenquoten:
"Everybody pities the weak; jealousy you have to earn."
"I knew I was a winner back in the late sixties. I knew I was destined for great things. People will say that kind of thinking is totally immodest. I agree. Modesty is not a word that applies to me in any way — I hope it never will."
"The worst thing I can be is the same as everybody else. I hate that."
@Mustang51 Well, that's what happens when people have an agenda instead of just telling a good story. Combine that with throwing away the essential elements of a good Terminator film and you have twice the disaster.
@Mustang51 The first two were the best movies ever. Pity about the latest one.
@thefalkenreich OK, if I ever build one I'll release the skeleton.
@thefalkenreich Hmm, the number of people who've ever used my flight modules is three, I think. I'm not sure there's a market there for a mech skeleton.
@thefalkenreich I just might...
@Chancey21 speed="0.5" damperMultiplier="10000"
@Mobius1Cyka Thanks. This is just the first attempt... wait till you see the next one.
@Randomdoggo I don't think that's possible in SP.

@stig27 Sure. If you want a light to come on when the fuel drops below 25%, use this for the input:
max(0, 0.25 - Fuel)As long as the fuel remaining is over 0.25 (25%),
0.25 - Fuelwill be a negative value, i.e., less than zero. Somax(0, negative_value)will always be zero. As soon as the fuel drops below 0.25,0.25 - Fuelwill be a positive number, somax(0, positive_value)will returnpositive_value, turning the light on.There's a better way to do this. If you want ten lights indicating the fuel remaining from 100% to 10%, use these as the inputs:
max(0, Fuel - 0.99)
max(0, Fuel - 0.9)
max(0, Fuel - 0.8)
max(0, Fuel - 0.7)
max(0, Fuel - 0.6)
max(0, Fuel - 0.5)
max(0, Fuel - 0.4)
max(0, Fuel - 0.3)
max(0, Fuel - 0.2)
max(0, Fuel - 0.1)
@TheBruh007 Glad to hear that. This is just a prototype, better versions are coming soon.
@BaconRoll So it has. Not that you're very active on SP any more... busy with the band?

Thanks, @Freerider2142
@ChisP Um no.
@Zanedavid I was never fallen in the first place :)
Thanks, @FranzPeterSiegfried @Wakescar
@Mustang51 Yeah, you're definitely getting better.
Thanks, @Mustang51. Haven't seen you around in a long time?
@Notnoob1000 Here you go.
I'm glad you enjoyed this build, @808REKT

@Starmang10 You're.
Artistic licence is the best kind of license... nice build as usual.
Thanks, @XYL
@Mmdben Sure, I've made quite a few. This one, for instance.
@Sm10684 Living tissue over a metal endoskeleton.
Thanks, @IlikeToFlyandcrash
@Tacocat16 I might, if there's enough demand.
Affirmative.
Glad you like it, @Mumpsy

@Jim1the1Squid Well, you could always comment again...
@Minecraftpoweer Yeah, this is just me fooling around in my spare time. If I had more spare time, then you'd really see something...
@Mmdben I did, but the audio was so bad that I closed it. In any case, if you were being sarcastic, evidence disagrees with you.
How did I make that script? Well, I've been playing with computers since I was a kid.
@Minecraftpoweer If you think this is impressive, check out the demoscene or Shadertoy. These are the kind of things you can do when you augment the creative power of the human brain with the processing power of computers.
@Trollium In that case, thanks.
@Mmdben Indeed he is. Some of my favourite Schwarzenquoten:
@TOMJeb117 Nice night for a walk.
@Jim1the1Squid Nope. If anything was deleted, it wasn't by me.
@Trollium Not sure if you're trolling...
@ThatWeirdGuy Mmmm, isn't she.
Thanks, @Thelegitpilot13
