@JMicah4 It does that because it uses an outdated method of mapmaking that used persistent objects from the first version of the game that supported mods. If I updated it, it wouldn't do that anymore.
Cut out any and ALL mentions of the unlocks adding perks to your account, and you will have my support. Added perks to accounts shouldn't be something you can unlock by playing through a "campaign," because what if you just want to be a sandbox player? I agree that maybe there needs to be a system where you have to have more time ingame in order to have full use of your account(would weed out nubs) but tying it to a campaign is a no-go. Also, don't mess with the upvote cooldown; its there for a reason.
@TheHardcoreFlyer You callin me a pointwhore? I started this because I didn't want to see the drag view go away, not because of meaningless points. Also, its already been confirmed that the drag view has been saved.
Oh my, GTASA was one of the best games ever, hands down. Even more than a decade later it still kicks GTA V in the teeth. You just bought back so many memories.
Don't you hate it when some random user wastes your time and clogs up the forums with yet another useless forum post such as the one I am currently replying to?
No. I can't imagine the hell of trying to piece together a detailed aircraft with the Wii's motion controls. Not to mention the difficult process of actually getting Nintendo to agree to this. And then you have to account for the vastly different architecture of the Wii/Wii U. And then you have to deal with the limited hardware capabilities/updates/blah blah blah/etc. Even IF this was a GOOD idea(spoiler alert: it isn't), it would be very difficult to pull off.
....... This will get you attention, but it won't be the type of attention you are looking for. Lamely crying out "PLZ LOOK AT ME" on the internet isn't exactly a great way to endear yourself to people. In fact, it comes off as rather pathetic. You could try building unique/interesting/complex/etc designs, then maybe people would pay attention to you in a good way.
I have been pushing for a rebuild ever since these forums rolled out. FullFruntal and I even have our own simpleplanes forum that almost nobody uses but is much better set up.
@Warbrine Dishonor? New rules? Obviously you weren't here when point whoring was an epidemic, because then you would have known that the pointwhores did not give a single crap about "honor" OR the website's rules. They disregarded both on an hourly basis, and mark my words, they will do so again.
@Sofa Its still a thing, and I just recently completed work on the mouse aim system, which lets you toggle specific turrets on/off and have them aim at wherever you point your mouse. There is still an extremely long voyage ahead for this mod to become reality though.
@amazingperson124 However, you have inspired me to temporarily ignore my project cycle and return to simplewarships for a bit, so perhaps something good will come out of this post!
@Skua is correct. Also, I have a personal flaw where I will rotate through multiple projects instead of just focusing at one at a time, especially if I run into difficulties with something, and I have recently been running into lots of annoying little difficulties with SW.
This is why I always made sure to put the qualifier "IF I ever finish it" in my posts about the mod.
@planepilot Would've helped if you used these magical things called commas, which really help people tell apart different sections of a suggestion and avoid confusion.
Oh, cry me a goddamn river. If you are at the point where you are concerned about how fast your point total updates, I suggest you step back, take a good hard look at the reasons you play this game, and take a weeklong vacation where you don't even TOUCH these forums and just play the game without it. The game is more than points, and it seems you have forgotten that.
@nathanmikeska @KevinMurphy @AndrewGarrison @PhilipTarpley @joeysellers BRING BACK THE GODDAMNED DRAG VIEW! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Please, for the love of all that is sacred, bring that back. How the hell are we supposed to tweak the efficiency of air intakes and find out which parts are causing the most drag if you permanently remove the drag view????????
@MrVaultech Did you not read what I said? I did NOT choose to argue over the successor system. I know what its for, and you did nothing wrong in that regard. But, you ripped off his name and a large chunk of his aircraft(more than one part). The courteous thing to do would have been to ask him if it was ok first.
@MrVaultech I'm not going to get involved with the successor debate, because that is outside the scope of what I personally find wrong here. I believe that if you were going to use both the name(yes, you blatantly ripped off the name, stop trying to convince people otherwise) and the entire face of @Mod 's previous upload, you really should have at LEAST extended him the common fucking courtesy of asking for permission. That's my two cents.
Nich, you have got to be one of the single most useless, slimy, cancerous people this site has ever had the misfortune of hosting. And you managed to obtain that title within two hours of joining, in the midst of heavy competition for this inglorious accomplishment, by using your first post with this account to support and encourage a behavior which is detrimental to this site and to the community as a whole in more ways than most people like you can even count. If you are a troll, just fuck off. If you were the user that got called out for posting jellyplanes earlier, then may a thousand mosquitoes bite you in your ears and on your genitals and eyelids. If you really are a new user who just joined and supports this practice, you need to reconsider your stance before it is too late.
@Nickasaurus I wouldn't know. I don't really feel like going through all the successors, since its really painful to see the atrocities that all the noobs have visited on my poor little trainer. There were a few decent ones, but over 95% of the successors are either exact copies or some sort of modification that is probably against the Hague or Geneva Conventions.
@TheMasterSoldier there is a multiplayer mod, but it is not done. And no, there is no beta, and no you can't help test it, and no, we will not change our minds if you beg.
@JMicah4 It does that because it uses an outdated method of mapmaking that used persistent objects from the first version of the game that supported mods. If I updated it, it wouldn't do that anymore.
Very clever use of my island mod! I knew it showed up in the designer, but I never considered using it as an upload backdrop!
Agreed.
@nathanmikeska So long as its not Valve's Soon(tm), I'm ok with that.
CIRCULAR FUSELAGES! YES THANK YOU!

@TheBroadside unknown.
@TheHardcoreFlyer No harm done.
@TheHardcoreFlyer You callin me a pointwhore? I started this because I didn't want to see the drag view go away, not because of meaningless points. Also, its already been confirmed that the drag view has been saved.
Sound good? No, rather, this sounds like absolute crap. This post is worse than useless and you should feel bad for it.
Oh my, GTASA was one of the best games ever, hands down. Even more than a decade later it still kicks GTA V in the teeth. You just bought back so many memories.
Posts like these need to be made illegal, with a 20-year-to-life prison term for breaking the law against them.
Hell no.
I think I still have SimpleWheels on my android. Gave me a few good laughs.
Don't you hate it when some random user wastes your time and clogs up the forums with yet another useless forum post such as the one I am currently replying to?

Could we keep useless spam posts like this to a maximum of, say, ZERO, please?

This was painful to read.
I have been pushing for a rebuild ever since these forums rolled out. FullFruntal and I even have our own simpleplanes forum that almost nobody uses but is much better set up.
@mufasa6896 Not finished.
You didn't make this. You just copied my design and added some stupid paint for youtuber.
@Manboy2 How about NOT posting this in random topics because nobody responded to your forum post, and making it yourself?
@Warbrine Dishonor? New rules? Obviously you weren't here when point whoring was an epidemic, because then you would have known that the pointwhores did not give a single crap about "honor" OR the website's rules. They disregarded both on an hourly basis, and mark my words, they will do so again.
Great work, this will really help with building complex designs and come in very useful while I'm testing SimpleWarships!
Gee, I see absolutely NOTHING bad that could result from giving users an actual incentive to point-whore their way up the ranks.....
/s
@dragonsteeth123 Lol, its the enthusiasm from people like you that keeps me working on this mod.
@Sofa Its still a thing, and I just recently completed work on the mouse aim system, which lets you toggle specific turrets on/off and have them aim at wherever you point your mouse. There is still an extremely long voyage ahead for this mod to become reality though.

Idea: how about making your own design?
@planepilot Would've helped if you used these magical things called commas, which really help people tell apart different sections of a suggestion and avoid confusion.
You DO realize we have night mode and weather, right? Try looking in the pause menu under game settings, genius.
Oh, cry me a goddamn river.

xml EDIT(not mod)
@Thefalloutplayr I know...... I guess some people just want to jump on the bandwagon.
@AndrewGarrison WOOHOO! THANK YOU!
Ok, this is good. Have an updoot.
@Hadesrocks yes, there was. It was extremely useful for tweaking your aircraft's performance.
#SaveTheDragView
@Jetspeed1001 You rebel.
THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT! WE NEED TO SPREAD THE WORD SINCE MOST PEOPLE DONT HAVE THE BETA AND DONT KNOW!
@nathanmikeska HOW ELSE ARE WE SUPPOSED TO GAUGE THE DRAG ON INTAKES AND OTHER PARTS??? #SaveTheDragView
@nathanmikeska @KevinMurphy @AndrewGarrison @PhilipTarpley @joeysellers BRING BACK THE GODDAMNED DRAG VIEW! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
