  • Some financial ideas for the site. 4.3 years ago

    Donations page and advertising yes... Money for account - no. There's no point and the community would shrink considerably.

    i love that the vrcollective people have literally been sitting on this spectacular feat of engineering for 5 months, probably debating the fallout if it actually gets posted lmao

    also hilarious how half the community has no idea what this is lmao

  • We're doing merch! 3.0 years ago

    To add on to your poll, it might be a fun idea to do backgroundless screenshots with a slogan. For example, Matt lowne used to have a cool graphic with "in thrust we trust" written below it.

    Something like an exploding aircraft with "t'is but a scratch" might be a fun one, for example? And while it's clearly from SimplePlanes given the image, its not immediately obvious so I would be far more comfortable wearing it in public

  • Small Feature Wish List for v1.11 Update 3.3 years ago

    I would love to see an addition to ft involving interaction with other parts. I.E to be able to take the output of one part and use it as an input for another, which would make some ft code faster and add functionality to others, and could also be added to wheels to show current rotation, as with engines, to show rpm which would be a very nice addition to those like myself who like their custom cockpits to have accurate and correct functionality. (Syntax could be Output([PartID]) for example).
    Another extractable value could be part health, allowing creation of ejection seats or warning lights, for example when an engine fails or when the tail of the aircraft is removed. (Syntax could be Health([PartID]) for example)

  • Guide: Ray Tracing 3.6 years ago

    me:
    - installs and runs this
    - discovers RX Vega 8 IGPU can do ray tracing
    - enables
    SimplePlanes: freezes
    me: checks cpu/gpu temperature
    CPU/GPU: literally frying 119 degrees you madafaka
    .
    please dont do what i did and install this if you have an igpu

  • SUGGESTION FOR SP WEBSITE UPDATE 4.3 years ago

    This is probably going to be controversial, but imma say it anyway because it's not likely to offend anyone.


    I think, with everyone getting angry over the upvote system, that we need a new system in addition to this. I propose the option to rate the aircraft in a series of categories, generating an overall rating for the aircraft. This isn't foolproof and wouldn't have helped the GC situation, but it can help eliminate some of the problems with upvoting at the moment.

  • General Electric - CJ610 1.7 years ago

    i really really want to take a bunch of these subassemblies.
    1000 part engines
    1000 part landing gear
    1000 part cockpit.
    and slap it all in the same aircraft.

    it will be majestic

  • I Am No Longer A Moderator 3.2 years ago

    THEY WHAT
    It's the danger of making jokes at this point I guess, everything will offend someone (that's the nature of a sense of humour after all) and it could have happened to anyone... But it had to be someone I suppose, and it sounds like you took it well at least.
    You had a good run, and godspeed sir. I will miss asking you to make my builds successor to things

    Edit: (Andrew proceeds to upvote the post)

  • Multiplayer Glitch 4.3 years ago

    @rexzion no. the way is simply to install the yamato battleship that was made a couple of weeks ago and spawning that in. if it manages to actually load, I commend the server. 84 boom 50s generate significantly less lag than 1 yamato containing 20,000 parts worth of doom.

  • I Am No Longer A Moderator 3.2 years ago

    @TheEnglishPanzer worst thing is, knowing some of the members in this community, there is a not-insignificant chance that the person who reported this is just trying to suck up to Andrew to try and make themselves mod, I have seen it done before. The sad part is that Andrew may have had little choice about the matter :(

  • R.I.P. 4.3 years ago

    ive had this happen so many times...


    couple of things you could try:
    1: regularly publish your creations unlisted
    2: copy the xml and bak files into a different folder - if this happens you can just copy them right back in
    3: make multiple saves of the same build, which reduces the risk of them all getting corrupted


    hope this helps

  • Mod suggestions. 4.3 years ago

    could try a graphical mod - like a shader or something? advanced rendering was always buggy and has been broken for too long so that could be an idea? it could include advanced reflection rendering (including for the beacon light so people don't have to install a lights mod to access a build), and it could also bring together a couple of other mods such as your system time mod (toggleable in mod settings or something like that obviously) and a clouds mod, if you have already made one. It could also include advanced weather effects, graphical effects such as better explosion graphics (i believe you have already made this as a mod in the past?) and better tyre smoke and marks on things from wheel spin. i recognise that this is a pretty hefty mod to make, so i wouldn't expect you to even attempt it, but if i could make a mod this would be it. I would never be able to create it as my programming skills are way too basic and I don't have unity, so i come here.


    i commend you if you actually take the time to read this
