@thefalkenreich My good friend, I am fully aware of that. However, SledDriver's version suffered from a crippling flaw known as "backwards landing gear". This build here fixes that and Othawne spent countless hours doing so.
@DumbPlaneMaker Many aspects of SP2 such as the wings and control surfaces actually are reimplemented from scratch, with completely different code and behaviour. Backwards compatibility is achieved by having all of the old SP1 parts exist separately as different parts. The SP1 wings for example are their own legacy part with their original physics, whereas the SP2 wings have completely new physics remade from scratch.
@BOSSentinel SP2 build. not made specifically for the showcase, but I had it available.
.
@Rb2h currently there is no proper radar cross section simulation as that is a very tricky beast to implement in a game as dynamic as SimplePlanes, so radar guided missiles look at your craft's drag profile as a compromise. We'd like to rework this somewhere down the line, but it would probably have to be in an update after the game comes out.
They appear to have deleted their account. Please respect their decision and don't attempt to archive their posts as they probably want them gone for a reason.
I believe it basically affects the number of times the physics engine updates per second, sort of like frames per second but for physics. More updates means more accurate physics, but extra computational cost.
Yes, that is not specifically the swastika used by the Third Reich; however the description of the craft indicates it was used in a way that contradicts that. Here's the relevant quote from the description:
Swastika: Represents loyalty to the Supreme Democracy Party (the longest ruling political party), Supreme Minister and Leftist Nazism (yeah I call it low key Nazism or Nazism with Krakabloan characteristics)
@Kangy You can (probably) expect to see more of me with Eternal gone. That said, most of the stuff I do has always been stuff you can't see, so it will always appear that I'm not around much.
@geek1love Through research, discussions amongst ourselves, and speaking with the involved party, we have determined that, while not unfounded, your assessment about this user's profile picture is incorrect. The user in question is from Russia, and the stuff in their profile picture is all Slavic symbology. We spoke to the user and they confirmed this, as well as the fact the text in the profile picture is also Slavic symbolism. A trusted Russian user we talked to gave us confirmation regarding that as well.
The outline of a man, with a look resembling a "skinhead" with a knife, is based on a photo of them and has nothing to do with neo-nazism, as far as we can tell.
In the future, if you have such concerns, please take them to a moderator in private, either by tagging one of us on an unlisted post, or, preferably, sending a direct message on Discord (you can find mine in my bio) instead of making a public forum post about it. As for the rest of the commenters here, I expect you all to conduct yourselves respectfully from here on out, as you have failed to do thus far.
@RamboJutter @Strikefighter04 You raise a good point, so let me clarify: The rule specifically mentions that you can't have misleading thumbnails. An image of an anime girl can, for all intents and purposes, be considered the same as something like text. It should be pretty clear that said text/anime anime girl is not part of the build. Now, if they were trying to claim that the image of the anime girl is somehow in the build when it isn't, then it would be grounds for removal.
@Wallaby @BuiltBionixInd10 I'm aware of the actual intent of this post, but the "I'm a toddler" part could easily go poorly for you in some other places. @Numbers I know about that, yes. There are some actual instances of that happening but I struggle to think of names off the top of my head.
Congratulations to @SkyJayTheFirst, @Whills, and @ToeTips for winning the challenge! I have just added 2500, 1500, and 1000 points to your accounts. They should appear in the points log on your profile as attributed to your winning crafts. Have a nice day :)
@GhostMach i am a former moderator for this website and a current moderator on its sister site, simplerockets.com. i have had a few months of experience with the automod at this point, so you can trust what i have to say. as stated, you don't have to be concerned about false bans as the automod does not perform moderation actions on its own, it only submits potentially problematic posts for manual review
@asteroidbook345 For the record, I'd like to say that @Clory is correct, and he would know that because he's a moderator on the SR2 site, which has the exact same moderation tools. We cannot restore a deleted user's account; only Andrew can. We also cannot see an account's private information beyond basic IP-sharing logs. Please do not spread misinformation.
@SledDriver Misinterpretation or not, there are still other occasions where you've been, let's just say, a bit less nice than the rules generally allow. While yes I may have misinterpreted what you said, no one else seems to agree that what you said was particularly "nice" so regardless I had to tell you off.
Congra-- wait, isn't middle school 11-13? In that case you were under 13 when you made your account, which would violate the terms of service, and some other stuff I'm too lazy to get into right now.
@Graingy I don't have an answer to give right now for magic wheel connections with the new engine and transmission, but the original SP1 engine is still in the game as a legacy part and behaves this way.
@Randomplayer Multi-crew is certainly something we're aware of the demand for, but it's a lot more technically challenging to implement than regular multiplayer is so it isn't in the game right now. That's not to say it never will be, but I wouldn't get your hopes up.
@Graingy for several years, yeah. It was because of factors that made it more difficult to sell the game in Japan there at the time, but that's no longer an issue so the game can be bought in Japan again now
@GabrielFangster70 Crafts with the original SP1 wings and fuselages will still have those original parts, with their original aesthetics, properties, and physics. That's the goal, anyway -- we can't guarantee that every craft will behave exactly as it did in SP1.
@Graingy Trims can still be manually selected, there's just an "Auto" option now.

The Mouse Joystick change can be seen in the gif under the Layout section (looking a bit crusty because of gif compression).

@YOURGORILLA1246 This is not what the stock P-51 will look like exactly, but it has been upgraded here in ways we'll be talking about soon ;)
iirc things that are removed end up remaining cached for several minutes afterwards, allowing them to be viewable by the public for a bit. this post got removed because several people reported it as spam, which I agree with
@JustLookingForFriends That shouldn't be happening! I don't think it's anything I can fix myself, so could you please send Jundroo an email? They should be able to help you. Sorry about that.
@X4JB Then you should re-read our rules, specifically the section about politics and religion. This applies to everyone. Fact or not, it was a very politically charged statement that served no purpose other than to provoke people that disagree with it.
@Noname918181 Hah, imagine having a ceiling. Mine is a hole.
+9@Gestour I can confirm that this is true.
+9@Renamed71220 hey what about me
+9@asteroidbook345 No, it was the auto-mod. It had too many reports. I re-approved it, however, as it does not violate any rules.

+8@GabrielFangster70 the automod cannot ban people or delete posts, it only reports things to the moderators
+8I wasn't the person who removed it, however:
- It is a bit too far off-topic

I'm honestly not sure. Anything NSFW/suggestive or otherwise violates the rules is definitely a no-no, though. We'll just have to see how things go.
