  • Ideas for the next update? 2.0 years ago

    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).

    @Graingy Heh, it does look a bit goofy, especially from the side-view.
    Wide and stubb.

  • Northrop Flying wing (25parts) 2.0 years ago

    This actually looks really cool, considering it's only 25 parts.
    It's a shame there aren't more aircraft like the N-9M.

  • DARZ, how do you put images of your planes in SP? 2.0 years ago

    I know I'm not Darz, but you can upload images to forums/descriptions using the ![](image url) 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.

    @STENDEC Nah, it's fixed-gear.

    Thoughts, suggestions, or bug reports? Let me know in the comments!

  • Need help 2.0 years ago

    Set the partType to Wing-2 using Overload. It'll stop wing flexing.

  • How to make tip jets 2.0 years ago

    Unfortunately, you can't do that with the default rotors.
    You'll have to make your own custom rotors.

  • Running out of idea to build? 2.0 years ago

    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.

  • how do i make a piston activate for a second before deactivating? 2.0 years ago

    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.

  • SP Online Behavior 2.0 years ago

    @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.

  • SP Online Behavior 2.0 years ago

    @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.

  • What to build? 2.0 years ago

    @WaterFlavouredSpitfires I second this. I feel like there aren't enough true flying wings on the site.

  • SimplePlanes Multiplayer 2.0 years ago

    @DanielBourne 160.251.58.131 is 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).
    That's all :)

  • SimplePlanes Multiplayer 2.0 years ago

    @BeechcraftA35 You have to use the say command.
    If you want to say "hello guys", it should look exactly like this: say "hello guys"

  • SimplePlanes Multiplayer 2.0 years ago

    @BeechcraftA35 It shouldn't affect your data. I've switched over and it had no effect on any of my builds, mods, or subassemblies.

  • SimplePlanes Multiplayer 2.0 years ago

    @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.

  • A pipe just broke in my kitchen! 2.0 years ago

    Follow Husky's advice.
    There should be a shutoff valve outside your house. Probably underneath a green plastic lid in the ground.

  • SimplePlanes Multiplayer 2.0 years ago

    @BeechcraftA35 That's an issue with the newer SP versions.
    You can fix it by going back to 1.12.128.0

  • SimplePlanes Multiplayer 2.0 years ago

    @BeechcraftA35 I see. In that case you're probably not using the command right.
    It should look like say "your message with quotes".
    If those quotes aren't there then it doesn't work (with the exception of single-word messages).

  • SimplePlanes Multiplayer 2.0 years ago

    @BeechcraftA35 The ping is probably high.

  • I may not be able to post tommorow 2.0 years ago

    Well I'm sorry that you've felt offended by my comment (it was by no means my intention to do so) but ultimately it's the truth in most cases (the exception being certain popular users).

  • I may not be able to post tommorow 2.0 years ago

    I've come to learn that people genuinely do not care about upload schedules.
    I haven't posted any builds in almost 3 months and nobody's questioned it.

    I'll make a suggestion on this topic. Why not spend more time on the quality of builds instead of the quantity? It's more rewarding and it improves your building skills.

  • SimplePlanes Multiplayer 2.0 years ago

    @JJ0plane No, that's not supposed to happen.
    That'll happen if you don't disconnect from a server before attempting to join another.
    You can disconnect by typing Disconnect into the command console.

  • Where is Shmeck? 2.0 years ago

    I'm not really at liberty to say too much without risking getting the red hand from a moderator, but here's the basis of it:
    He deleted his account due to the amount of backlash he received from the community over some pretty questionable actions he had taken.

  • What I've been up to. 2.0 years ago

    @Majakalona Right-click on the Assets menu at the bottom of the screen, go to Create>Material.
    As for painting terrain, I'd recommend looking up tutorials or just messing around until you figure it out. It's quite simple once you learn to navigate the UI.

  • How do I install mods on android 2.1 years ago

    @ZerkkTheSimper Ah, forgot that there were others aside from the Maywar plugin.

    @BeechcraftA35 Aside from the map plugin mods Zerkk has listed, you can't download mods for Android.

    I mean, technically you could try changing the file extension on any mod and risk corrupting your game files, maybe even your device.
    I'd advise against that.

    @ToeTips It was for this thing.

  • Stuff I'm working on (Teaser showcase) 2.1 years ago

    @ToeTips I haven't built anything like it yet.
    Might mess around with something like it in the future.
    I've got more project ideas than I can count lol, so I have no clue if/when I'll ever build something like it.

    I do have a neat build project in the works though ;)

  • SimplePlanes Multiplayer 2.1 years ago

    @Icarus Nope. Almost everyone uses either the Japanese server or the Korean server.
    There's also a Chinese server but I think it's semi-private.
    It's not usually very packed. Mostly consists of the same people (including myself).

    +1
  • SimplePlanes Multiplayer 2.1 years ago

    @Salah001 @Icarus That's the Korean server. It's not a new IP, just a different one.
    Probably won't see as much activity as most people are probably using the Japanese server.
