no.
well, it depends I guess.
HMDS has this thing right smack in the center of it called "Boresight", and as I've said it shows the centerpoint of the HMD, aka what you are directly looking at.
most aircrafts have this to just show where their pilots are looking and also to guide sensors of the aircraft on where to look, but there is one exception where this boresight is a gunsight, and it is on the AH-64 Apache.
unlike a fighter's gun where it is fixed in place, the M203 of the Apache sits as a turret under the helo, and can be slaved towards the boresight, making it the only gunsight ever in an HMDS (unless I missed another aircraft.)
I honestly never really looked at her that much
not many things did stuck out from her builds that made me go "wow, this is amazing" and to be brutally honest, I don't think she is the pinnacle of SimplePlanes.
as much as people think highly of others or themselves, you can never really truly call someone "a pinnacle of [thing]". Not that I'm trying to hate on LunarEclipse, I think she's good at making some stuff, but to me she's just another builder like me trying her best. Not much users did stuck out to me either, not because I think I'm good (which I'd say eh, Ig? not really) but because those who did stuck out to me, I consider them more as a friend than as a stranger.
anyway this comment was just here so I can say she definitely is not the pinnacle of simpleplanes
@Monarchii
I'm pretty sure you don't need it, but to be safe I used a detacher too.
and instead of attaching the top to the aircraft I attach the back to the aircraft
@Monarchii
I make fighters.
You can nab em off mine lol.
also protip, I actually have a method to make ai fight better
just put an inert missile and watch the magic work
the question I wanna ask is, on one side, I want to keep making mini-replicas, while the other, to tone it down and make them AI-friendlily spawnable, thoughts..?
For me, the main appeal in PEA building is making an aircraft's flight model as realistic as possible while toning down the details to keep it AI-spawnable, although not too far as to sacrifice it's model's accuracy.
The more dissapointing thing about it is that nobody seems to be seeing this too, and proceed to make PEAs of... Questionable quality.
I frankly never cared much about liveries, labels, nor the little nooks and crannies. To me, they add way too much cost to an otherwise fine looking aircraft, and it defeats the purpose of PEA.
but then again I make pea so I can spam replicas into my makeshift dogfights so, you do what you want lol
@ShiroNeko
Interesting. It's not showing in my side of things, so maybe it's about the image hosting site itself.
But anyway, me personally would recommend Imgbb. I'm not sure if you are using Imgbb, but it works perfectly for me and I haven't had much issues about other people telling me it doesn't show on their side.
hey, Zerø here
as a person who's been making PEAs and by proximity knowing the LPA's ruleset, I have to regretfully inform you that this is neither an LPA or a PEA.
PEAs are required to have less than 7 part wings. This is true due to SP's AI spawning behaviour. In SP, AI aircrafts can only truly be spawned if it's under 96 parts and under 7 wing parts.
This, by proximity also applies to the LPA ruleset. Furthermore, LPAs are also reduced to part count limit of 50 and performance cost up to 350 with leeway of 750 if 350 is not possible. On top of which, an LPA must be a fictional aircraft.
Though this aircraft does have less than 750 Perf.Cost, this aircraft does not accomplish the other 2 ruleset. Which means this aircraft cannot be classified as an LPA.
also shameless plug but I've already made a PEA MiG-31 so check it out if you wanna lol
@kismit
no, at least yours had a great cinematic teaser
your hud editing skills are also much better than I was doing mine
honestly looking at it now, I'm amazed
few corrections:
- the Su-27 has only 1 control surface on each of it's wings, this one control surface act both as a flap and aileron
- the Su-27 is not the Flanker-C. It is the Flanker-B
Hey, love to see other people actively flying the T/F-44B, however I will have to ask you to take this page down.
I have reported this post for plagiarism, and lack of creative improvement. Which violates the rules of the site for tweaking aircraft. You have proceeded to take my aircraft, recolor paletted it, and proceeded to label it as another name for another aircraft. Upon trying the aircraft for myself, I saw no improvement/change in the airframe. Be it flight model, weapon, interior, nor livery.
All I ask is for you to stop blatantly plagiarizing people's work, and start making your own aircraft with your own hands. Thank you.
@F8boa
For the time being, that'll be a negative.
Considering how this aircraft had already brought my device to it's near limit, adding more features, especially the more complicated ones will be a bit too taxing for even my Redmi Note 13.
If you want however, feel free to add it yourself! Just be sure to credit by either leaving the Auto-Credit on, or by leaving my name somewhere in the description. Just don't claim it as your own self-made creation.
technically all aircraft is AI capable.
but the issue widens if you want the AI aircraft to spawn automatically
generally, it is easier for AI aircrafts to fly with some form of control surface stabilization, because the AI model is too simplistic to be performing any advanced maneuvers.
to make an aircraft auto-spawnable, the aircraft needs to have specifically <96 parts, and <7 wing parts (this includes structural panels). If otherwise, the aircraft won't spawn.
@Graingy
to me, it isn't about showing the appeal to the masses, but rather just a thing I enjoy making myself.
I still make replicas, it's still extremely fun to fly an aircraft I love the most. And the better part of it is I can just make my own livery without having to bother catering to other people's build style.
that's only really my main appeal, and also the fact that nobody really makes simcadey feel to aircrafts I think it's just cool
Aurum Aerial Industries honestly was supposed to be a placeholder for an old 5th gen concept I had made
the thing turned out to be pretty garbo so I decided to continue on the replica grind
it wasn't until the block war challenge that I thought "making fictional is kinda neat."
so I started making some.
here I am.
Aurum Aerial Industries is still relatively nameless, since it doesn't have a particular place to call home, but short answer about who they are is they just make planes. For god knows who
@JackWumbertson
then you should keep your speed above that threshold by inserting power.
as I said before, this aircraft is overloaded, so it is significantly heavier than it's supposed to be. The trick here is to spend your fuel first, apply airbrakes, and try to gently touch the aircraft down by paying attention to altitude and speed. Add power when speed is too slow, and add stick input when vertical speed is too fast.
