@Reworkable I had a similar problem the first time I used it. Try re-uploading the image to the website, then take that link and use it.
Alternatively, I've heard that some people use discord for image uploads.
You could set the max input field to a very small number, but that would also decrease the size of the exhaust as well.
As far as I'm concerned, there is no way around this issue. But you could try using lights with a modified input and color.
@TheGliderGuy Sure! It's: SetWindSpeed 0 2 0. You can replace the 2 with a bigger or smaller number, depending on how powerful you want the thermal/updraft to be.
Edit: I found that 2 was a good number for near-the-ground climbing.
@MrCOPTY I'll consider it. I haven't made an official decision on whether or not I will actually release an armed version of this aircraft. On top of that, the weapons can't significantly interfere with the aircraft's maneuverability and performance if they were to be added.
Thanks for your support!
If you decrease the firing delay on a cannon to a really small number, it won't make a firing sound until you let go of the trigger/firing button.
It will only make one firing sound whenever you stop firing.
Other than that, you will probably just need to deal with the noise. It is rather annoying in certain situations.
Edit: I realize you were referring to wing guns, but you can't stop the sound on those.
Having a rotator disable after a certain speed might be too choppy. Try this: Pitch-(PitchRate*0.05).
You will probably need to change the number to adjust the sensitivity.
@MrCOPTY Right. So if you want to do that, you need to do some XML math: the aircraft's overall fuel percentage (in decimal form) multiplied by the maximum quantity in your fuel tank of choice. If you want to convert units, just plug in the math for conversion to the math that is shown above for the fuel amount.
You could put the math into a gauge or text field (for digital displays), but I'm no expert in that area of Simpleplanes, so I don't entirely know how to do that.
I recommend getting a structural wing, opening the XML editor, find "allowControlSurfaces" under the "Wing" field and set it to "true". You can save this new wing as a subassembly, then all you have to do is pull it out of the menu whenever you need it, and modify it as needed. The wing won't shake violently at high speeds.
Try this: get a very maneuverable aircraft, fly at low speed, then perform a very sudden pitch-up. If this is not enough, do a slight pitch-down just before the pitch-up.
@MethaManAerospace Yes. In fact, that's the main inspiration for this project. However, without thermals/air-convection simulation, or more realistic wind simulation, it will require an alternate source of propulsion to climb. So far, the plan is to tow the glider to about 50,000-60,000ft, detach, and then fire up a small, low-power, detachable solid rocket booster, which will hopefully provide enough thrust to get to at least 75,000ft, and maybe even to 90,000ft.
@ElevatorEnthusiast747 Well, I don't have many other solutions other than to make sure the units match up with your in-game measurement system. You may just have to calibrate the altitude-zero setting until it's correct.
You could find a paint scheme similar to that which is shown (the one with 20% emission) using some sort of online color generator, then copy and paste the hex-code into the Simpleplanes paint tab hex-code field.
@32 Not sure why SPMP ping is so high. Even 20ft away from the server the ping from my laptop will be 65-130 for no good reason.
I guess it's just due to the unrefined nature of the mod? I don't really know tbh. Thanks for reporting back on the ping though.
The mod map tutorial is still mostly relevant, although some stuff you will have to figure out on your own/ask about when you get to it.
The SPBC Discord Server has a modding section with people who can answer any specific questions you may have more in-depth.
Unrealistically: 1963 Chrysler Turbine Car. Inefficient & maintenance nightmare? Absolutely. It's all about the statement (plus cool noise).
Realistically: Honestly I'm just looking out for a basic single-cab Tacoma or comparable vehicle.
I'm a small dude, I need a relatively small truck. One that's reliable.
I currently have a Ford Ranger, and it's seen better days to say the least. The instrumentation is busted, some of the electricals are fried, power steering sounds questionable at best. It's a mess.
I'm not very fancy in the way of cars/trucks. Pretty much as long as it can get me from point A to B, works all-around, and is manageably small, I like it.
@Milo1628xa Sorry for the late response, I'm not 100% sure but based purely on speculation, it might look something like this:
(engineidletoggle * 0.001) + (thrustreverserinput = 0 ? (PID(ThrottleValue, TAS, 3.5, 0, 2.3) * !Activate8) : (Brake & AltitudeAgl<10 & GS<20))
I'm a little rusty with FT as I haven't been playing a whole lot in recent months, apologies if this doesn't work.
@TheFighterHelmet Generally speaking it's a limitation. Guns, canons, rockets, as well as countermeasure systems don't work correctly. Missiles and bombs (and torpedoes) work alright, but it won't sync unless both you and the unfortunate user on the receiving end have Explosion Sync enabled.
Still a better setup than me using two pencils/a glasses case for airflow clearance.
I might actually need to find myself one of those things. I'm sure there's one lying around somewhere.
(I could also just fork over the money and buy myself a proper one, but where's the fun in that?)

@PPLLAANNEE It could theoretically work. The main issue would be getting people to participate in such a challenge.

@ReinMcDeer That makes sense. I thought perhaps this could be used to make an upward wind to simulate thermals. I need to do some more research.

No, I don't believe there is. There might be a mod for this, but I'm not sure.

The closest you get to "hidden" might be the AI aircraft from the challenges (such as an AI racer or WW2 fighter).

But I can see the use in fuel tank activation groups, as it would act like a fuel selector valve.

+1@MRM19 I don't know of any way to do that through Overload. But it can be done with rotators, which can be used to create helicopter rotors.

Ay congrats!
@crazyplaness I think so (it might still be actually, but I haven't kept up with mobile ver. specs)
