Essentially it's the same reason you can't run a PC application like Microsoft word on your phone. Sure you can download a mobile version, but you can't just copy on the PC version. They are two vastly different platforms. What happens when a mod is exported is the code is compiled. This means turning source code (which is readable by humans, and makes sense to programmers - however computers don't understand it) into machine code, which is a lot less human readable, but a computer can easily understand. However some platforms such as android vs pc have different "languages", if you will, and the same source code needs to be compiled separately to run on each platform. Sorry if it was too long.
@Awsomur just in favour of keeping an open mind, his parents said "he" (a South Korean pilot) was dead, but never linked it to "Mattangi". There is no evidence as yet that "Mattangi" was the deceased pilot, except the account supposedly belonging to his friend. I can't jump to conclusions, because I don't know the ins and outs of the south korean military (and I don't believe you do either).
Stonehenge was put up by cranes in the 70's. Before that, it was a pile of stones on the floor. Then some archaeologists come along and say, well it could have looked like that. So they set them in concrete like that. And then totally rip off everyone that goes to see them. You can't even get close any more, you just walk in a circle around them.

Avebury is nearby and cool, they are also set in concrete but there's much more of them and you can go up to them and touch them, all for free on public right of way. Avebury (3d) on google maps
Also make sure your terrain is set to the "terrain" layer (top of the Inspector window) and in the terrain options (cog tab) Material is set to Built in Legacy Diffuse
There used to be a physics material included with the mod tools, I don't know where it went. I still have it from an old project, and the properties are:
Dynamic Friction: 1
Static Friction: 0.75
Bounciness: 0.05
Friction Combine: Average
Bounce Combine: Average
@EternalDarkness if there were some sort of automation system for SP you could make the guidance yourself! Of course, that doesn't exist.... Does it? Or does it?
@ICANTFLY that can happen if they are set to activate on an activation group. Sometimes people set them to activation group 9 (which doesn't exist), disabling the bomb so it can't be dropped. This is often done on custom missiles which use bombs attached to them (the bombs are part of the missile and not intended to be dropped independently)
"Hinge Rotators" are available stock. When set to 0% speed, they become "floppy", and the "base mesh" hides, leaving only the hinge part showing. You can use XML modding to set the disableBaseMesh property to true to make it look like this all the time.
@Strikefighter04 you clearly signed off as "-Strikefighter04". Obviously you have access to the account. So, I would consider it an alt. It's your post, and you upvoted it.
It's quite annoying that the forums are being filled up with this random pretend army game but I'd be kind of okay with it if you weren't upvoting your own posts with an alt...
Plus, to create anything good looking, a decent grasp on trigonometric, exponential or other mathematical functions as well as symmetry and being able to code python. I'd be wasting my time.
@Gestour those calculations were a theoretical maximum defined by the maxAngularVelocity field on wheels. The wheels, without modding, physically cannot spin faster than 375m/s. I'm not sure whether this is actually possible with stock parts at sea level, but I managed to work it at 33,000 feet.
I just tested and my calculations were perfect. After disabling drag (yes, I'm a cheater, but technically you could go really high up......) it accelerated quickly to 838 mph then stopped.
@Gestour theoretical maximum speed without XML:
max wheel radius: 1.25m
circumference: 7.85m
max angular velocity: 300 radians/sec = 17188.7 degrees/sec = 47.7463888889 revs/sec
1 rev = 7.85m
7.85 * 47.746 = 374.81 m/s = 838.4 mph
This is a theoretical maximum, with the largest wheels.
@DemonSniper8 is that sarcasm?

@KingHandspider if I remember correctly there's some example mods.

@jamesPLANESii sure, but you wouldn't believe the amount of people who come here and don't know they've even been touched...

You keep making TSR2s. It's great! but nothing can blot out the pain, the tragedy

I haven't found a max depth for rockets, and I've tried them several thousand feet under water. And they continue to provide thrust.
@EternalDarkness yes, I have been flying planes powered by rockets underwater for ages.
@EternalDarkness "I think rockets can": rockets work underwater to I think unlimited depth. If you made them manually piloted, it could work...
+3Yes it's due to the normals being smoothed over the edge. Lesson: however simple, never ever let hellfire do modelling

Missiles don't work if they've touched water. "sit there and create smoke" sounds like that...

It was used as a propulsion system, over 2 years ago. I didn't discover it like @EternalDarkness said, but its kinda sad I remember stuff that far back xD

@Strikefighter04 you upvoted your own post. I wonder what @Tully2001 thinks about this?

I'm not sure whether this is actually possible with stock parts at sea level, but I managed to work it at 33,000 feet.actually, simplifying the calculations, the max speed is precisely 375 m/s. Because 1 radian = circumference/radius.
+1I did just manage this without disabling drag, but I did need several miles of flat runway at 33000 feet, and a total of 2400HP...

@jamesPLANESii it's disappointing nobody noticed that on April Fool's day, when I released it...
@Strikefighter04 I think so. There are reportedly ways to use python on android but I haven't looked into them.
