  • GOOD and HELPFULL suggestions for update 2.4 years ago

    @winterro That is true, mainly because the capacity on the existing servers would almost always be full.
    But that's also assuming plenty of people have a robust computer laying around that they'd be willing to dedicate to running a server 24/7.

  • GOOD and HELPFULL suggestions for update 2.4 years ago

    To add on, I fully support removing the rotator joint wobble. In fact, I'd like to see the same for pistons and shocks.
    Making custom landing gear for heavy aircraft is somewhat of a pain, especially when half of the aircraft's mass is in the landing gear just to prevent joint wobble.

    An XML property to disable it would also work.

  • GOOD and HELPFULL suggestions for update 2.4 years ago

    Multiplayer is indeed possible to run on mobile devices (as demonstrated by Steam Link), but we only have 2-3 functional public servers at the moment.
    There is absolutely no way integrated multiplayer will be feasible until we get more dedicated servers to handle so many players. The main one struggles with 10 people being connected, so there's no way it could handle 30+ on a regular basis.

    If that problem was fixed though, multiplayer integration would definitely be feasible. Device strength is a limiting factor, but like you said, mobile devices are becoming stronger and more capable.

  • Some Parts that would be nice 2.4 years ago

    I'd like to see some rocket engines (not for rockets, but for spaceplanes and such).
    Nothing crazy, no procedural stuff necessary, just some simple rocket engines that act like such.
    Missiles are a bit questionable when it comes to their physics, so using them as rocket engines can be problematic.

  • WZ-8 2.4 years ago

    Not bad for your first build!

    One thing I will say is that you should move the landing gear as close as possible to the Center Of Mass. It allows for better takeoff/landing performance.

  • Do you listen to music while building? 2.4 years ago

    @32 Can't say that I have.

  • Yo anyone need anything 2.4 years ago

    Gasoline and polystyrene.

  • Do you listen to music while building? 2.4 years ago

    I transition between synthwave and cinematic music (Hans Zimmer, Scott Buckley, Secession Studios, etc.) I also occasionally put on a cinematic in the background.

    Here's one of my favorites:
    Emotional Tech Noir Music - The Machine

    Cinematic music is really good for getting the creative thoughts flowing in my opinion.

  • Font list 2.5 years ago

    They're the same font, just different styles.
    Except for (maybe) the red text. I believe that's in a different font (if I read the inspect element correctly).

  • Me & Me 2.5 years ago

    T

  • Me & Me 2.5 years ago

    That's an amazing opportunity.
    I almost got to ride in a WW2 aircraft (forgot what, probably a B-25 or something similar), but it ended up crashing due to pilot error before I could go on a flight.

  • NEED HELP!! (I say this a lot ??) 2.5 years ago

    There's a nice tutorial here for making custom airfoils.

    If making the wings this way is still too hard, and you don't mind a simpler look, what I do is start with a fuselage shell, cut the control surfaces out and add rotators, and then fit individual wing pieces (0% thickness) into each section of the fuselage-wing shell.

    If that didn't make any sense, you can use one of my builds to see what I mean.
    The method I use isn't as time or part efficient, but it works quite well in my opinion.

  • I need motivation... 2.5 years ago

    I'd suggest sticking to no more than 1-2 projects at a time.
    Trying to take on several at once can be overwhelming.
    Once your finished with one project, move to the next.

    @WADA Much appreciated!
    If you ever need help with one of your builds feel free to ask me for advice!

  • Is @JP11 Banned? 2.5 years ago

    While I won't go into great detail, he was, in fact, banned.

    @OwO Don't worry, he isn't dead.

  • F-100F Super Sabre 2.5 years ago

    This deserves more attention than what it's getting in my opinion.

  • F-14 2.5 years ago

    @WADA Check the predecessor before upvoting.
    This is a repost without any improvements to the original design (which is against the rules).

  • Helb 2.5 years ago

    @Red920 Did you disable Activate8?
    If it doesn't cobra regardless, then try adjusting the values.
    If it still doesn't work, then I'm out of ideas. Sorry.

  • Helb 2.5 years ago

    @Red920 The code below is based on what I normally use. You may need to modify some of the values for your own needs.

  • Helb 2.5 years ago

    @Red920 Hmm. Alright, let me rewrite the code:

    Pitch-(PitchRate*0.01)-((AngleOfAttack/30)*clamp01(Activate8))+(Roll*0.1)
    

    See if this works.

  • (Tutorial) The Basics Of Creating Digital Flight Displays Using Text Labels: 2.5 years ago

    @Miata https://snowflake0s.github.io/funkyguide/ has a full list of XML values and explanations for each.

  • (Tutorial) The Basics Of Creating Digital Flight Displays Using Text Labels: 2.5 years ago

    @Miata Fuel: {round(Fuel)*100}% should work (it shows the fuel as a percentage, not as a unit value).

  • Helb 2.5 years ago

    @Red920 And probably do the same for the Roll input as well.
    The * symbols are multiplying the AoA limiter by the Pitch/Roll control inputs, meaning that if you aren't giving any input the limiter won't work.

  • Helb 2.5 years ago

    @Red920 Try using a + instead of a * between the AoA limiter and the PitchRate limiter.

  • (Tutorial) The Basics Of Creating Digital Flight Displays Using Text Labels: 2.5 years ago

    @Miata Multiply the speed value by 3.6 for kp/m and 2.2369362921 for mi/h.

    Even if it's not 100% practical (since you need a PC to start with), still a neat find.

    I wondered if this was possible when I heard about the Steam thing.
    The results are about what I expected though.

  • Helb 2.5 years ago

    Did you put a Pitch-(PitchRate*0.01) on it?
    That usually fixes wobbling for me.

  • help making map pls 2.5 years ago

    @PPLLAANNEE First link on the Discord server list. Simpleplanes Builders Chat.

  • help making map pls 2.5 years ago

    @PPLLAANNEE The wiki is outdated. If you go check the SPBC and go to the modding section you can find a comment from one of the devs showing the latest version.

  • help making map pls 2.5 years ago

    Other than that I'm not sure how to help. I haven't had issues thus far.

  • help making map pls 2.5 years ago

    I'd recommend using Unity 2020.3.26, as it's the latest version used in SP (that I'm aware of).

    Nope.

  • Funky trees question 2.5 years ago

    @Randomplayer Probably a data spike upon spawning. Maybe try Time>5 & VerticalG># (it'll wait 5 seconds before allowing the detacher to work).

  • Funky trees question 2.5 years ago

    @Randomplayer No problem!

  • Funky trees question 2.5 years ago

    Put VerticalG># into the activation group and it should work.

  • Simple Flyout logo 2.5 years ago

    If you choose to start playing FlyOut, do not delete your SP data or your account.

    I say this mainly because FlyOut is much more processing-intensive than SP. If the game is too laggy to reasonably play on your device then you'll probably want to come back to SP until you get a better device.

  • Advanced 3D Thrust Vectoring Nozzle 2.5 years ago

    @FujiwaraAutoShop True. I made this mainly because it's not something I've seen on the website, and also as a proof-of-concept to test thrust vector nozzles that use the nozzle flaps for vectoring instead of just moving the whole nozzle.

  • SimplePlanes Multiplayer 2.5 years ago

    @Mason08 You can still join even when no one else is on.
    The problem is that not many people are able to manage a 24/7 public server due to costs and whatnot (hence why we only have a couple servers).
