  • What music do you guys listen 2??? 3 days ago

    This year it's been a lot of Lord Huron, Ludvig Forssell (Death Stranding), Woodkid (Death Stranding 2), Joel Nielsen (Black Mesa), HL2 + Episodic tracks, and Max Richter (Ad Astra).
    Also recently got into listening to Daver's tracks for Black Mesa: Blue Shift.

  • so uh, my iPad is cooked ;-; one month ago

    Unless you specifically need an iPad, I'd recommend getting something that's actually feasible to repair and upgrade. At the very least, something with a removable SSD, that way if the rest of the device fails you can just remove the drive and transfer it over to something else.

    If the main issue is cost, chances are you can find a used/refurbished laptop for substantially cheaper than a new iPad, and even if you couldn't, pitching in some extra money for something that's actually feasible to repair & upgrade is 100% worth it.

  • How to reduce lag? one month ago

    There could be several factors influencing the performance of your game. Background processes and heat (I assume the 620 is on an 8th gen or similar Core i3, so while it shouldn't be getting super toasty, if the thermal paste is old it could be thermal throttling) would be good things to start looking at. Reduce quality settings if you haven't already. Eliminate CPU intensive tasks that run in the background.

    I assume by 32GB you meant RAM. In my experience RAM helps more with application loading times than FPS (same goes for having a good storage device; SSD is much faster than HDD) so even if the laptop has 8GB it should be alright (though I'd definitely recommend going up to 16 if you can, as it makes a difference).

  • Mikeska Airport 2 months ago

    @llFLMTll Sorry for the horrendously late response, I don't recall ever getting a notification.

    My first piece of advice would be to not do what I did with this mod and model everything in SimplePlanes (or throw together a large number of existing SP assets), as it's super inefficient and will create unnecessary performance impact.

    I'm working on Mikeska Airport 2.0 right now, and the utilities I've used include Blender (modeling the airport itself, and the buildings), World Machine (terrain generation; not strictly required since Unity has a built-in terrain sculpting system, but I much prefer doing it procedurally), and PolyHaven (high-resolution textures for free).

    You'll need to install Unity, of course (Unity version depends on what version of SP you're making the mod for).
    There's plenty of tutorials on YouTube that'll help you with getting started in Unity and Blender, how to work with each, etc.

    @cyberpunkchicken27 47.213.114.145 is working just fine as of this comment.
    The server desktop did briefly shut down earlier for a software update but it's since resumed hosting.

  • How did you guys know about simpleplanes in the first place? 2 months ago

    Wasn't satisfied with regular flight sims, wanted to actually design planes but I didn't have any Blender/programming skills back then, so I looked around for suitable games. Found this shortly after, stuck around since 2021

  • Irritating MP bug 3 months ago

    Reverting back to v1.12.128.0 should fix the kinematic body error. It may fix the rest, too, but I'm not certain. The multiplayer mod seems to be a bit broken on any versions past v1.12.128.0

  • is simpleplanes simple? 3 months ago

    It's as simple or complex as you want it to be, within certain bounds

  • What do I need to do to improve my builds, and get more people to download them, without self promotion? 3 months ago

    Honestly the only truly universal advice is to just practice; you'll get better over time, however long it takes.
    In terms of attracting people, having enticing thumbnails helps. Take in-flight screenshots, make 'em look pretty using a photoshop utility (Pixlr is my personal go-to), and if you use PC, ReShade is a worthwhile tool.

    Edit: 32 also makes some good points

  • How do I download the 32-bit version of Simpleplanes to my computer? 3 months ago

    @crazyplaness I think so (it might still be actually, but I haven't kept up with mobile ver. specs)

  • How do I download the 32-bit version of Simpleplanes to my computer? 3 months ago

    A 64-bit processor and operating system are listed as minimum requirements for the game, so I imagine the answer is no.

    I'm pretty sure the only way you could get a 32-bit version of the game would be to recompile the entire game as a 32-bit application in Unity (if it even offers the option to do so), which I imagine requires having the game's source code, dev files and whatnot.
    Even then it'd probably bug the hell out.

  • [BUG] It Always Be This Annoying 4 months ago

    If that bothers you, don't check the Overload console lol.
    Often times even if a part is shown to be zeroed out and the aircraft is symmetrical, it'll actually be off by some really small number (3 × 10^-9, or 0.000000003, for example).

    Generally it won't cause any noticeable issues, but it might drive you crazy if you're really striving to have everything perfectly symmetrical.

    @32 Not sure why SPMP ping is so high. Even 20ft away from the server the ping from my laptop will be 65-130 for no good reason.
    I guess it's just due to the unrefined nature of the mod? I don't really know tbh. Thanks for reporting back on the ping though.

  • How do i make a mod map? 5 months ago

    The mod map tutorial is still mostly relevant, although some stuff you will have to figure out on your own/ask about when you get to it.
    The SPBC Discord Server has a modding section with people who can answer any specific questions you may have more in-depth.
