  • Greenscreen Map 7.4 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 7.5 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 7.5 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 7.6 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 7.6 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!

  • Centaurus Alpha XAF-220X Pteranodon IIX 7.6 years ago

    @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 7.6 years ago

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

  • Centaurus Alpha XAF-220X Pteranodon IIX 7.6 years ago

    What are the infinite rotators used for? Stabilization?

  • BlueSteel I401 Submarine 7.6 years ago

    Soooooo... That's where you get your name from? Or perhaps its the Kancolle I-401?

  • Beam Cannon Mx1 7.6 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...

    This rocket launcher reminded me of the "rocket launcher" from video game "Galactic Junk League". Good job!

  • [TGT_AIRSHIP] T2 Type-IIA Hoshiiya-Class ISNS Hoshiiya yesterday

    Calling it a "tender" would be a bit of a stretch, I'd say it's closer to a "scout destroyer" with about 3 recon planes in total.
    Also, looooooooooooooooong mast.... on a platform that absolutely does NOT require masts to be any taller than the bare minimum, that is!

  • [TGT_AIRSHIP] T2 Type-IID Scrimp-Class Passenger Airship 4 days ago

    Always thought those flying battleships operate on some sort of antigrav or ersatz eezo, but okay...

    @LJh2
    Thanks for the upvotes!
    ... now, any comments on the setup?

    May I talk to you about our lord and chonker, the Kawanishi KX-03?

  • Lastkraftwagen M1908,15k 25 days ago

    Which map(s) did you use for those screenshots?

  • Clip Cannon 27 days ago

    Idle musings:
    Older battleships oftentimes have multiple guns sharing the same elevation mechanism, so... perhaps this setup can be used to represent the individual turrets on those ships?

    @TRS051
    Thanks! Any comments on the setup?

  • Clip Cannon RARDEN one month ago

    @Bogey Nah, that'd be my THIRD variation of the same concept - turns out the clip code really doesn't like one-round "clips"... but recoil spring works wonders esp. for high-caliber guns.

    @Seeras
    Could you please make this the successor to this? Thank in advance.

  • Clip Cannon one month ago

    @VTPADELTA
    Sorry for my late reply. Yup it's a lot simpler compared to the autoloader, and also yes, feel free to incorporate it into your next build as long as you give credit.
    (Also make sure to have at least 0.05s delay between your cannons for the counter to work properly)

    .... And thanks for the upvotes either way.

  • SimplePlanes 2 | Wings & Fuselages Part 1 one month ago

    Necro'ing, but... any chance to change the damage model on control surfaces that they don't get stuck the second someone sneezed on them? Control surfaces disintegrating when damaged enough would've made sense, them getting stuck at the angle they were hit in not so much esp. when the incoming damage is miniscule compared to the health of the wings they're attached to.

    Eh, given the JT3D is a derivative of the JT3C (aka the J57) it's probably possible... just not recommended.

    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...

    Given I have the tendency to use a pair of toothpicks (of all things) as both makeshift forks and makeshift chopsticks, who am I to judge...
    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 4 months 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} .

    "Advanced version of S2A Seiko" - same number of engines and wings with little else in common, but yeah, it does evoke the lines of the original....
    Hmm.... some sort of family lineage not unlike the Yank muscle cars (e.g. chevy camaro), I guess?
