  • how make a switch do throttle=1 when up but 0 when down 2.3 years ago

    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.

    @Aviator01 Yep.
    It might also work with the windmills as well, but I have yet to test that.

  • How do i stop wobbling at high speeds(Mach2+) ? 2.3 years ago

    @Bryan5 Hmm...
    Normally I would just say "fly higher", but if this happens at any altitude then I'm not sure how to help with that.

  • SimplePlanes Multiplayer 2.3 years ago

    @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.

  • The USS Beast Has "Interesting" Proportions... 2.3 years ago

    @Red920 I've got several. However I've already posted most of them in previous forums.

    @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).

  • It's time for a new name for SimpleRockets 2 2.3 years ago

    @Susyamngsu Short answer: no. I gave a longer explanation in the comments below, but essentially it simply wouldn't work.

  • Wait, why do we call mentioning a user "tagging"? 2.3 years ago

    Not sure how it started.
    All 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.

    @Dragoranos Are you suggesting that sailboats are not supposed to go Mach 6.7?

  • Should I make a airplane or a car? 2.3 years ago

    @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".

  • It's time for a new name for SimpleRockets 2 2.3 years ago

    @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.

  • It's time for a new name for SimpleRockets 2 2.3 years ago

    @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.

    +1
  • It's time for a new name for SimpleRockets 2 2.3 years ago

    @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).

  • Is Rotor Brakes available? 2.3 years ago

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

  • My Thoughts About SimplePlanes 2 2.3 years ago

    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.

  • It's time for a new name for SimpleRockets 2 2.3 years ago

    @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.

  • It's time for a new name for SimpleRockets 2 2.3 years ago

    @Red920 If someone wants to use MP, then they should simply buy a PC, as long as they can afford it.
    Otherwise, they will just have to wait until they can afford it.

    +2
  • It's time for a new name for SimpleRockets 2 2.3 years ago

    @Red920 I've thought about this before.
    It sounds great at first, until you actually start playing MP and realize how that would work entirely differently.
    I can say from my experience on MP that if it was added to the game, every public server would be overloaded. The servers can only hold several people at a time without there being substantial lag, consequently disconnecting the user from the server or crashing their game. Even players with decent computers experience lag from MP, so there is no way whatsoever that mobile devices could handle that amount of processing without significantly lagging or just not working at all.

  • SimplePlanes Multiplayer 2.3 years ago

    @Novah I should also mention that the server program has to be running in order for the server to actually run.

  • SimplePlanes Multiplayer 2.3 years ago

    @Novah For people to use your server, you have to give your global IP address. It should be labeled by UPnP Gateway in the server console.

  • Multiplayer "Party Tricks": 2.3 years ago

    @temporaryplanetester I found that attribute a while ago, and yes it sadly does not work.

    I suppose if it did work however, people would probably put cleverly positioned RickRoll links on their build. Imagine the horrors that would fill the MP chat log...

  • What are the basics to making a human-like walker? 2.3 years ago

    Hopefully this helps a bit. I am by no means an expert on the matter.

  • What are the basics to making a human-like walker? 2.3 years ago

    My NOVA robot is a good start for walking on uneven terrain. Its feet have a set cycle that allow it to walk both up and down slopes.

    Traction? No idea. I think if the legs move too fast it causes issues.

    I use gyros for bipedal walkers. They take a bit of tuning, but they work fine. Adding FT inputs to the gyro helps a lot as well.

    Size can be adjusted with Fine Tuner. See what works best, and then go with that.

    I'm sure rolling is entirely possible, but I have no idea how that would function on a bipedal walker.

    How to make the walker go faster is really dependent on what code you're using. Higher speed can also be achieved by giving the walker a longer stride with each step (though settings this too high may cause balance issues).

  • Update Suggestion 2.3 years ago

    A part with preset noises would be neat. Since we already have gauges/buttons/switches I don't see why adding alarm sounds would be a bad idea.
    As far as imported sounds go, refer to the previous comment.

  • SimplePlanes Multiplayer 2.3 years ago

    @HellFireKoder Ah, I've never been able to use that until after running the server.
    So for other people to connect globally, they would simply use the global IP and it would work, or is there an extra step?

  • SimplePlanes Multiplayer 2.3 years ago

    @Ancinder Hmm... Let me see what I can do.

  • SimplePlanes Multiplayer 2.3 years ago

    @Ancinder I was just experimenting with that, and encountered the same issue. I'm not sure how it works.

  • SimplePlanes Multiplayer 2.3 years ago

    @Ancinder Download the server executable, and then run it. A window will pop up asking for network access. The server needs both Public and Private access, so be sure to check both. After that the server should work just fine.

    To connect to your server, run the executable, and then find the area that says "Local IPs". The server IP that you're looking for should be the one that has "(LAN)" next to it. This is the IP for your local network.
    Note: I've only ever been able to use the LAN IP address. This is not the same for public servers, but I'm not sure how that's supposed to work, as I haven't been able to get it working so far. If the other user is not able to connect via your LAN, try having them connect to your global IP, which should be labeled by "UPnP Gateway:".
