  • Yokosuka D4Y2 Model 12 "Suisei" [Fixed Version] 7.1 years ago

    Great job!
    I can tell there is a strong influence from the "艦これ" game/anime series , but could you please tell me which fairies are used in the introduction? Thanks!
    Also, are "wing gun"/"gatling gun" modules used to simulate the spent casing?

  • Fairey Swordfish - (Stringbag) - [ Torpedo bomber Attack plane ] 7.1 years ago

    @F104Deathtrap That said, the real killers of Bismarck are two British battleships and half a dozen other ships... The only difference the swordfish made is to slow Bismarck down enough for the Royal Navy to chase it down and turn it into swiss cheese with their cannons... Royal Navy outnumbered and outgunned their German counterpart in both world wars.

  • Greenscreen Map 7.2 years ago

    @spefyjerbf Is it supposed to be a civilian glider / photographic aircraft? The wingspan meant it's supposed to fly REALLY slowly, and thus not a good idea for freighters, jetliners, or anything remotely related to military use.

  • GAMF-02A Camille 7.2 years ago

    @realluochen9999 Better not, this post had gathered enough controversy already, and a print of this on the web? I'm afraid this site would be taken over by flamers, trolls, and overly religious people around the globe.

  • GAMF-02A Camille 7.2 years ago

    @Fluffysheep This is just typical anime mecha/exo-suit outfit, nothing strange. Check "Expelled from Paradise" for an anime movie with the female protagonist wearing similar outfit.

  • My Record for Going the Distance 7.3 years ago

    @spefyjerbf Making the engines pointing at each other at first with rotators/VTOL ports to cancel out the thrust at the beginning, and make all the thrust to full use at full throttle?

    that max="0.001", enginePowerMultiplier="1000" trick, I assume?

  • BlueSteel I401 Submarine 7.3 years ago

    @I401SenSuiKan Sorry if I caused any confusion... What I was trying to ask in the previous post is that whether this build has anything to do with the name you are using in SimplePlanes... And it turned out to be what I've been expected, sooooo... Great build!

    @CenturiVonKikie Thanks for teaching! I will try out different combinations and setups of those gyro-stabilizers / flywheels in my builds.

  • Centaurus Alpha XAF-220X Pteranodon IIX 7.3 years ago

    Great Build! The ship reminded me of the Galaxy on Fire series due to its zero turn radius...

    What are the infinite rotators used for? Stabilization?

  • Beam Cannon Mx1 7.3 years ago

    "Beam Cannons are like the sniper rifles of the dogfighting world" That description reminded me of a certain mobile game called "Galaxy on Fire 2" and the in-game description of laser beams...

    Yurp! Actually b/c I can't find the legacy pic on the SP site I had to get a low-res pic from google then use every tool under the sun to enhance it back into what it should look like...

    Yup, I'm pretty sure we're gonna get burned on the same pyre... made of chopsticks.

    I just used the engine's innate "Thrust" output.

  • Engines, Thrust, and Fuel Flow rates 17 days ago

    @Graingy

    Large legacy prop engine
    Wait what

    Refer to SIMPLECHEATS II.

    Did you use FT to find the fuel use rate?

    Yes. a label with {-rate(Fuel) * your total amount of fuel} .

    @griges
    Right, one other thing: if the variable is designed to store a value until the next update conditions are met, then set the rotator's activationGroup to the update condition, zeroOnDeactivate to "false", and the input to whatever the function calculating the input is.

    Eh... wait, what? I'm not saying you're at fault - everyone have to begin somewhere, nay? And I can promise back when I first had my account I was much worse.

    Good plane; tiny torp.

  • [Structure] Flare Projector I 3 months ago

    Hmmmmm..... Try to time the light so that it only turns on at the same second as the chute, and you'd have a good starshell.
    Also, I think I just made the first viable searchlight in SP.
