The only thing that's pissing me off about YouTube at the moment is they're extending the length of unskippable adverts. I had to watch an entire 20 second long advert to watch a 3 second video last night. 😡
The great thing about YouTube is if you don't want to watch a video, you can just not watch it. If you scroll past it, it won't notice that you saw it and it won't cater the algorithm towards similar videos.

If you don't want to watch shorts, just don't watch them.

Personally I watch a few shorts, but I never scroll through them
Personally, I'm much more of an "only-mirror-when-I-say-so sort of player". I quite like how it works in SP, but it has it's drawbacks:
Currently in SP, if you mirror parts, it doesn't mirror the connections very well. Parts often get stuck to the wrong side of rotators, or stick to things that they deffinitely shouldn't get stuck to, often breaking builds. When stuff mirrors, it would be great if all the part connections stayed exactly the same on the mirrored group of parts.
Often mirroring groups of parts in SP is quite difficult. Usually what I do is attach whole sections of my aircraft, often consisting of several hundred parts, via a single block, so that mirroring it or moving it isn't a gigantic pain in the ass as I can just select that block if I want to do something with that section. Often this is not practical, and often, because of the issue in the previous buillet point, stuff gets conmnected somewhere and you have to go on a wild goose chase to figure out which paret connected randomly and try and disconnect it. I think the option to select multiple parts in the designer and be able to edit their proporties together, such as mirroring it as a group despite having conmnections eslewhere iwould make building much easier and more streamlined. Also the ability to select parts so that they can't be autoconnected to would be super useful too.
Oh wait, yeah I see where I'm wrong. If I use TAS, I'm measuring my total speed of the aircraft, which also includes my descent rate. WNP's code makes it only show the horizontal speed of the aircraft so it's more accurate. Okay, I'll probably use that from now on 😅@SilverStar
Yeah that's how I do it. Set drag for a realistic glide ratio (tested with Autopilot, it's surprisingly good at this), set engine power for a realistic climb rate, and then it usually works out for a realistic cruise speed too.
If you have suspension enabled on scaled wheels, they still behave like they're 1:1 scale.
Also if you scale your wheels unevenly in width and height, the wheels take an average of the wheel width and height and act as if they are round, so if you've scaled your wheels to be flatter, it will levitate.
100 upvotes is an amazing prize, but if the bar for entry is too high, barely anyone is going to enter despite the prize.
Plus, if the winner has only uploaded a dozen or so planes, how do you plan on giving them 100 upvotes?
@DerVito I'm a Machinist in the New Zealand Air Force. Most of the stuff our military does maritime patrol, humanitarian aid and disaster relief, so our device regulation isn't very strict. I have a gaming computer in my barrack room, and I even get free wifi at work lol
@SilverTheDogfighter Your plane doesn't have much stability in pitch. You can fix this by either increasing the distance between your primary wing and elevators, increasing the size of your tail wings, or both

SP used to be a 32 bit game on mobile until google updated their policies and Jundroo had to update it to a 64 bit game. Unfortunately this broke mod support for mobile
Yo hold up how is this curated without a cockpit???
+6@Someonefun Yeah idk how people are still finding this forum lol. It's been 5 years since I completed it now 😆
As someone who doesn't take part in the roleplays, yeah this would be nice
Missed opportunity to make the handle a giant spoiler lol

+2@SilverStar That first half is the equation to find velocity, and it also doesn't account for wind. You might aswell just use TAS
+1@PlaneFlightX What's your glide ratio?

Nice
+2You can shift the weight around, or you can angle the elevators to adjust the neutral trim. Also, what airfoil are your primary wings?
Looks like it doesn't fly because the centre of mass is behind the centre of lift. Try adding weight to the nose until it flies
Tarnishing looks awesome btw. Would love to see complexities shaded in the same way. That art style is really freaking cool!
