The maximum dimensions for a Unity terrain tile (if I remember correctly) is 100,000x100,000x50,000 meters.
To make something 500x500 miles you'll need several terrain tiles.
I don't know exactly how the game would handle that much terrain. SimpleLand uses procedural generation and runs pretty well on my laptop, but I don't know how well standard devices would handle standard terrain of that size.
@Korzalerke2147483647 I'm alright. Ya, I've continued exploring the backwaters of the command console every now and then.
I think the most recent thing I found was bringing back part of the legacy designer (it was just the lights though, couldn't find the rest).
I believe a more useful function of this would be to help beginners learn FT.
I remember it being really daunting when I first got into it. It took me several months and lots of trial and error, but I eventually got the hang of it.
Having a chat bot to help break down how the code operates would be a valuable tool for beginners, at least in my opinion.
That aside, this is actually pretty neat. I recon if you took a few hours and made a simulated input-output environment, feeding it strings of code then evaluating the correctness of the outputs, the bot might eventually become more fluent (if that makes any sense).
That's just my idea though. I have 0 experience with programming chatbots so idk how they function and what it takes to get one working as desired.
If you see a dev/0-point user upvote your build, it's probably because your build is curated for VR use.
Although I think it might be possible for 0 point users to upvote using the Inspect tool, but I can't confirm nor deny that.
I've bought it twice in my 2.5 years of playing.
First time was on my old Steam account (lost to time and space on an old nonfunctional email address).
Second time was on my current Steam account, when they announced the new 1.12.200.0 update.
I had gotten a new laptop last year and didn't have access to my old Steam account to move game files over, so I just manually moved the game via thumbdrive (which unlinked it from Steam altogether).
When 1.12.200.0 was announced I decided to repurchase the game so I'd have the latest version.
Guess it didn't help much since I ended up downgrading to 1.12.128.0 again.
I do have the fie backup feature though, so that's nice.
@AshdenpawTG22 I just look through forums and whatnot to see if anyone needs some help with something (I try to help people when I can) or if there's anything interesting in general.
Happened to see this as I was looking through.
But ya I don't have much business being here. Just came to leave that note.
And thanks by the way, maybe one day I'll remaster the Venture.
I'm not really here nor there on the topic so this probably isn't my business, I just felt the need to point out that... this is a website about building airplanes.
I'm not a hater by any means (like I said, I'm neither here nor there about it).
I just don't think it's wise to post about it here.
Generally this kind of stuff just sparks drama that's unnecessary on sites like this.
Again, not hating on anybody here, just putting that point out there.
PlaneFlightX's solution may be better, but I typically use IAS>x ? Input/(IAS/x) : Input.
In this specific case, the code might look something like this: IAS>350 ? (Roll-Trim)/(IAS/350) : Roll-Trim.
I'm sure you'll have to tweak the Roll-Trim input stuff to your liking, but that's the basis for what I usually do.
One other thing, the game measures speed in m/s by default. If the 350 in this case is in mph/kph/kts then you'll need to convert it to m/s to get accurate results. Here's a multipurpose converter I like to use.
@XProAerospaceAircrafts Unfortunately they can't do that either, or so I've heard. Something to do with Apple's TOS, but I couldn't tell you anything specific.
They can't. Google's Play Store requirements prevents mods from functioning properly on Android (with the exception of a few map addons that still work on Android).
@Planemodder1911 Jundroo didn't have much of a choice though. Google's Play Store requirements forced the removal of mod support.
It's a bit more technical and would better be explained by WNP78 or another dev, but that's the basis of it.
@Lwills Android mods stopped working years ago due to changes in Playstore requirements.
The devs removed the Android mod buttons because they'd be entirely useless. You can't run 3rd party mods on Android anymore.
The only exception to this is a few non-scripted map plug-ins that still work.
@Lwills Ah, they did remove those buttons I suppose.
There's no point in having Android download button if the mods can't load at the game's build time anymore, so they did get rid of the buttons.
To be fair, SP didn't remove anything.
Changes in Playstore requirements prevented Android mods from working.
iOS never had support to begin with, as far as I know.
Additional features rely primarily on addon makers now. I'd recommend looking into Unity (and probably Visual Studio too) if you really want these to be added.
Aside from that, some of these can already be achieved without needing to mod the game (engine idle and ground refueling for example).
I know I'm not Darz, but you can upload images to forums/descriptions using the  format.
In terms of uploading images, I'd recommend postimages.org. If you use postimages, use the Direct Link option when prompted.
Edit: oh you meant in-game.
In that case, take a screenshot and load the image into the designer as a blueprint, then use the publishing menu to take snapshots with your "blueprint" image in the background.
One that often gets overlooked is the F-107 Super Sabre. Strange beauty that thing is, in my opinion anyways.
Technically it never made it past the prototype stage, but still an interesting classic aircraft.
I think ceil(smooth(clamp01(Activate1), 1))-floor(smooth(clamp01(Activate1), 1)) should work.
If it doesn't, let me know and I'll run a test when possible.
@SILVERPANZER I've seen this several times. There's some gold players that are guilty of this as well.
There's a good few users on the site that are pretty egocentric I've noticed.
Ultimately, people need to stop viewing their rank as an indicator of superiority. In the end, we're all a bunch of vehicle nerds who love playing a plane building game.
@32 I can relate. When I was still at bronze, I made a post announcing I'd be gone for two days. Never occurred to me that the chances of someone wanting to contact me were negligible at best.
Fortunately a moderator (DeezDucks) explained that it was unnecessary.
It was a good learning experience.
@BeechcraftA35 Go to Steam, find SimplePlanes in your game library and on the main page there's a gear icon. Click on the icon and go to Properties > Betas, then click on the provided dropdown menu. Find 1.12.128.0 and select it. image

How about lifting body aircraft?
Some examples on Google Images.

160.251.58.131is the main one currently, but it's experiencing some ping issues.It should be back to normal here in a bit.
Be courteous to the other users. Don't bring modded/high part builds onto the server (generally anything below 800 is acceptable).

@BeechcraftA35 You have to use the say command.
If you want to say "hello guys", it should look exactly like this: say "hello guys"
@BeechcraftA35 It shouldn't affect your data. I've switched over and it had no effect on any of my builds, mods, or subassemblies.
