@Bellcat @Soardivision160th Agreed.
Given that the swashplate appears to be made from scratch, I can see why it might be a bit difficult to cover.
I would recommend looking at the S97 Raider for swashplate covering.
Again, this is simply a suggestion. It's your helicopter; do as you like.
@STENDEC Fictional stealth helicopter.
It's essentially a mix between an S-97 and an F-117 (though it doesn't resemble an F-117, it just uses paneling).
@IndesterSion It is possible to connect to different channels other than the usual Channel 0.
You can do this via the command console or manual file editing (which works a bit better).
Go to C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\Jundroo\SimplePlanes, scroll down until you find the text document titled "MultiplayerSettings". Open this and you should see "ChannelID:0". Change the 0 to whatever channel you want to join.
Hopefully this helps. As I said previously there is a way to do this via the command console, but it has issues at times. The file editor method works much better (in my opinion).
@Lithesafe647 In that case, using something like this should help with the issue:
Throttle-rate(IAS/#)
Changing the # changes the acceleration of the build. You'll need to keep increasing this number until the aircraft takes off fast enough without going too fast.
Keep in mind is that just because it has enough horizontal thrust doesn't mean that it has enough vertical thrust.
Either increase the Collective Range or the engine power itself.
I think at this point it's better to paste the link as plain text instead of markdown, simply because the website has been rather paranoid about the whole train scam thing.
@ssenmodnar I did a bit of testing. Using Overload to set the input to Throttle does allow the switch to change the throttle, but it conflicts with the actual throttle control.
I'm not sure if it's possible to do this without running into this error.
Hmm...
If I understand the question correctly, then I assume that simply setting the input to Throttle would do it.
I'm not able to test it at the moment however. If it doesn't work, then I'll test it a bit later and I'll see what I can do.
@caelanthekow I've had this issue several times.
I believe it's an issue with the server itself. Whenever the ping on the server is really high it tends to do that.
@AppyPappy I removed it. Also, I would recommend that you use the "Reply" button; otherwise, people won't get notified of your response.
I should also mention that the image was made using an online tool. It wasn't "hand made".
@Red920 It would take away from the experience.
It would be difficult to actually enjoy MP, especially since there is only one public server that is operational.
That would mean only 4 out of dozens of routine MP players would be able to play at any given time. Ultimately it would be a terrible idea.
@Red920 Yeah, I see requests from time to time. I tell others the same thing.
SP servers just don't have the capacity. They can only hold around 10-15 users without overloading, and that's being generous.
Perhaps if separate servers for mobile users existed it would be slightly more feasible.
@Red920 That would work much better.
You would also need a way to set up a server. On PC it's an executable that you can download. I'm not sure exactly how that would work on mobile but it could be possible.
The question of "Is it reasonable to add as a default feature?" also comes into play. This sort of feature is for a more specific audience.
However, it would still be neat (and might be possible).
Alternatively, you could go through the trigonometry-nightmare task of creating your own functional rotor system with working rotor brakes.
Or you could use the "cheat method" and make a fake rotor system (with rotor brakes) with a hidden engine somewhere (I wouldn't recommend this method though).
Other than that, the previous comment explains it.
I think this is a great idea.
I like the way SP is, and I don't think the sequel should be almost entirely different.
I like the UI and building style, and I think it should stay that way in SP2.
@Red920 In addition to the previous comments, as of right now there is only one known working public server.
Even if the few other servers were working, it would not be enough to support so many users, making the addition of MP as a default mod entirely pointless.
On the surface, this sounds like a great idea.
But, when you look at the details, it only ends up being worse for everyone.
@WINGSIRONOFICIAL Sure!
Please tag me when you do.
@Droidy247 I plan to upload it this weekend.
+1Also, it looks very good.
+1I should probably design more helicopters; they're something I rarely bother with.

Very nice. I like the window design.
+2I've been working on my own stealth helicopter design. I plan to release it soon.
@SemedianIndustries I don't believe so.
Type "T" for tag requests.
Pronounce Jun and then pronounce Droo. Combine those two.
+2When a part is damaged, it will simply disconnect instead of disconnecting and disappearing.
+3Congratulations, you've survived another trip around the Sun!
+1@Ancinder A player can control their own explosion sync, but you cannot control other player's explosion sync.
@Lithesafe647 Ah.
No problem!

Did this happen again, or was this the previous incident?

Very informative. Thank you for addressing this in detail.
+1@temporaryplanetester In that case, I'll stop commenting Hide the Pain Harold faces on those posts.

I see nothing of concern here.
+5@Aviator01 Yep.
+1It might also work with the windmills as well, but I have yet to test that.
Give it a lightsaber.
@Bryan5 Hmm...
+1Normally I would just say "fly higher", but if this happens at any altitude then I'm not sure how to help with that.
What altitude are you flying at?
+1@caelanthekow I've had this issue several times.
I believe it's an issue with the server itself. Whenever the ping on the server is really high it tends to do that.
@Red920 I've got several. However I've already posted most of them in previous forums.
+1@Ktarnii Would you rather be tagged on an unlisted post?
@Ktarnii Sure.
I'm a bit busy with a project at the moment, so it likely won't be posted until tomorrow.
@32 The wide carrier actually lagged the game severely (I believe FPS dropped below 1).
@IAlsoBuildPlane @Numbers2 @BeastHunter
+6⊥
+1@Susyamngsu Short answer: no. I gave a longer explanation in the comments below, but essentially it simply wouldn't work.
Not sure how it started.
+1All I know is that I call it that because that's how everyone else calls it, and they likely picked it up the same way.
@AppyPappy Yes.
@Dragoranos Are you suggesting that sailboats are not supposed to go Mach 6.7?
@AppyPappy I removed it. Also, I would recommend that you use the "Reply" button; otherwise, people won't get notified of your response.

This is fine.
+1I use postimages.org
+1It rarely has issues (for me).
@Red920 Unless of course you were talking about 4 people for mobile servers, in which case that would work well for lower-end mobile devices.
+1@Red920 Also yes, that would be me.

I would love to see a cross-section editor, whether that's in a future update or the sequel game.
