Thankfully, I managed to escape the car meet. It's surprising how long they managed to keep up with my GP-1 (ignoring the fact that they decided to use a fighter jet to keep up)
While I was pretty much the public face of the team, I havent curated much. I haven't curated since almost a year ago. School and work just got in the way. In fact, the whole team hasn't done much to begin with, much less than you think.
Before we go adding big stuff, the game needs to go through some spring cleaning. I've already made a road map for an update that does just that. Here's a quick rundown of it:
Simpleplanes 1.13: just the little things.
Fix bugs. Lots of bugs
Add as much quality of life stuff as possible
Rename mods to extra on mobile
Sort saved airplanes alphabetically
Update tutorials to show how fuselages work
Add In-game funky trees tutorial, snow left sp and his guides aren't being updated anymore.
In-game version of simplecheats II, I've stopped updating it and will make it open source soon
Allow exports of STL files
Allow weapons to have any input
Allow changing of the brake input on landing gear and wheels
Change the LandingGear input to be a boolean
Recompile the game so the Google play store doesn't block the game from being installed on newer devices
Add in-game disclaimers about mod support on mobile
On mobile, add a dedicated dev console button instead of having it be a 3 finger tap. A lag spike will make the console appear almost every time.
ALLOW UPLOADING PLANES WITH PHOTOS FROM YOUR LOCAL FILES.
remove tournament verifier
Bring back best of all time on website
Bring back developer section in the users page
Allow changing physics settings on SPVR quest (with disclaimers and warnings)
And lots other smaller stuff
I've been trying to build a tandem helicopter that controls entirely realistically via changing rotor RPMs, but SP physics hasn't been cooperating, just have the roll input on the front rotor be (Roll*0.75)+(Yaw*0.25) and the one on the back be (Roll*0.75)-(Yaw*0.25)
If the yaw is inverted, swap the two equations around
My idea for the next small update:
Update 1.13: just the little things
Invert how selecting parts works in the connection editor
Fix tons of bugs
Underwater camera, the deeper you go the darker it gets
Reworked tutorial
Rename the mods menu on mobile into the "advanced" menu
Add an in-game disclaimer that android and IOS does not support modding
All the small stuff essensially, simpleplanes is very rough around the edges, and needs polishing. Andrew should pull out a buffing wheel and smooth out those rough edges, adding tons quality of life changes and fixing many of the bugs present in the game
Congratulations on platinum, your okthxbye permit is in the mail

Don't worry, it gets worse, way worse.
+2You didn't download this?
+2Why didnt you make this scroll like the start of a star wars movie
Congratulations on platinum! Your okthxbye permit is in the mail
+3@TheTomatoLover scientific notation
+1@CL125 oh alr. Hope he's doing well
+1@OwO did he really delete his account over that?
+2@32 no, it does so completely randomly when selecting from AI, dogfights, and races

I'm more Into airsoft as I dont like the mess of paintball
Yaw for steering and pitch for forward/reverse in non-vr cars, for vr, a fighter throttle with a reverse switch
+1T
Use a control base, they're rotators without the headache
+1Always wanted to make custom rims but couldn't reverse engineer other builds, thanks for the tutorial
+1Congrats on platinum! Your okthxbye permit is in the mail
+3Grats on platinum! Your okthxbye permit is in the mail
+1@Jboy1204 please do not tag curators on a build you added the vr tag on, builds with that tag are added to a queue. We will get to it eventually
@Sm10684 what physics settings are you using?
Rotators are obsolete, use a control base
@Jboy1204 add the VR tag if you wish to have the build curated. I added it for you this time, but be sure to use it for other builds
@Korzalerkle I thought 2 was still available
@Dragoranos @32 a single character username IS still available
Here is every website rank with the points required for it
Bronze: 100
Silver: 1000
Gold: 5000
Platinum: 25000
Jade: curation staff only
Almadine: moderation staff only
Grandiderite: jundroo developers only

+1WHO DARES TO CHALLENGE MY THRONE?simpleplanes sounds fun, will have to try it out sometime
+21Same goes for me, I dont curate all too often now
All i want right now is a massive bug fixing rampage, overhaul of the undo button, and a bunch of quality of life stuff.
Update 1.13: just the little things
+4Nice
+1T
I wonder how large of a V i could fit on mine
+3Upvoted it
+1Use a control base
+2@TheFlightGuySP you can just have a missle connected to a pylon and another part, then firing the missle using the pylon
+1No
+1I could post my dragster right now but I've been procrastinating on doing the thumbnails for 6 months
+1My Linear Actuators will probably work, theres a standalone Actuator on my profile somewhere

+1Raced it against my GP1, they keep colliding on the last turn
+2It is changeable on SPVR on PC, and is changeable by editing game files in SPVR quest.
just be warned, changing physics settings on quest will cause immense lag. There is a reason it isn't changeable via normal means
+4Cya. Your knowledge will apply very well in whatever field you choose.

+3Please add the VR tag if you want the curators to look at your build. Don't ping us about it, just add the tag and wait.

+4Wait, springs have a variable output? I've spent way too long trying to get an output from control bases
Congratulations on platinum. Your okthxbye permit will be in the mail soon

+2The period between 1.5 and 1.6 was way longer than this. We can wait a while
