@randomusername Thank you! I'll be posting a couple more noses soon, including the 757, 777, and a few others. Interestingly, the "quality" of the paneling is the exact same as the regular fuselage blocks, in that every corner/edge of the larger fuselage meets up with a corner/edge of the forward one. It takes a really long time.
@jelybaca Quick tip for you, you can take away that "crease" in the last fuselage section of your nose assembly by turning the part 90 degrees and swapping out the width and height, and then instead of using rise, use run.
@Cobrahuey If I may suggest one, I would say to do a relatively simple one. Something that doesn't have a lot of hard curves and edges, something like an MD-80/90. Make sure you use blueprints!
@CRJ900Pilot Yes, I will post it later tonight. It will use the latitude and longitude to land on runways that are parallel with one of those two. Specifically Wright for testing. Navigates the plane to the right parallel and then gauges the distance from the opposite parallel of the runway threshold to calculate what altitude it should be at.
@QingyuZhou Not just regular autoland, but the ability to capture an ILS and land on the centerline of a runway automatically with perfect altitude modulation. It's a work in progress but I'll show you what I have so far. It's not perfected but I know the basics of how to do it.
@1918 I'd like to apologize. I didn't take a side on whether or not the work is sexual, just pointed out both sides could be understandable. I think you did good work.
@BuiltBionixInd10 I was not disrespecting 1918 in any way. I even specifically said that I support what he's built and that he put a lot of hard work into it. My comment is gone now, if that's better.
@Sinacraft yes, the command is written below.
@Hellosss38 Yes, as soon as it is finished.
@MrPorg137 I'm working on making it do the same thing at all altitudes.
@QingyuZhou I think we should have a build competition on a plane that neither of us have ever done before. I only build airliners though. What popular airliner have you never built before? (easier to find plans, blueprints, etc for popular plane)
@ACEPILOT109 Maybe I will. Most of it is unfinished, but still gave me a good amount of experience building. It's mostly airliners, old 727 is posted, 737, 747, old 757 is posted, old a330 is posted, 340, 350, MD-88, MD-11, DC-10, etc. I'm thinking about doing a generic 707 nose so that I can make 707, 727, and 737 very easily.
@ACEPILOT109 Thank you! I build quite a lot, but I just don't post that much. I have a couple more interesting things laying around in storage on this computer and two others that I cannot access right now. I've been playing for a little over four years, so I probably should be pretty good. My profile says 3.5 but I started playing a while before making an account on this site. I started in 1.4.
@ChiChiWerx Thanks for helping me out! I don't think I'll be able to find the speed that the 757 begins to lower it's nose after the touchdown though. I'll look around. Do you fly airliners? (BTW I also added a system that increases the aircraft's landing speed when at higher altitude, since the IAS didn't work right for me.)
@ChiChiWerx Yes, I am aware. But when the readout at the bottom says mph, I'm not going to correct it to knots. Interestingly, the Cessna that I train in has MPH and Knots marked. Yes, I do stick to knots, but I could use MPH as well. I guess you would know more than me lol
@asteroidbook345 I gave the elevators a code so that when they get below 20 meters AGL, they slowly pitch up, depending on the AGL the airplane is at. So when the airplane reaches ground level, it is pitching up at just the right angle to maintain altitude for a second, while the engines power back and allow the airplane to descend. The code is:
I've been having issues with smoke not really appearing. Where the X's are in the code, it stands for multiplication because you cannot put asterisks in comments really.
@exosuit I'm going to head for the I7-9750 and I might as well grab some more RAM while I can, for a 12GB or 16GB computer that can run other things besides just SP lol
@Zoowarp Thanks!
@Sinacraft I believe the noses for all the 737s are the same, except the ones with eyebrow windows.
@Hedero I tried to show that it works for the 707, 727, and 737.
@P0TET0Z Thank you!
+1@CRJ900Pilot Exactly! Thank you!

@jelybaca Very nice!
Qingyuzhou and I are also building a 707 relatively soon! Maybe we could have a 3-way competition??
@CRJ900Pilot Okay so I've kinda lost interest in SP for now, all current projects will have slow to no development until I regain interest.
@QingyuZhou Very, very nice.
@Zoowarp YES I NEED TO GET THERE
+1@CRJ900Pilot It's nowhere near done yet.
@CRJ900Pilot It need a LOT of work though.

BTW, I figured out how to do CAT 3 ILS autoland in SP. If you're interested, let me know.

@1918 Good Work.
+10@SouthTunnel2 Nope, computer not powerful enough and ran out of motivation. Maybe it will be redone. So far I'm working on a 757.
@asteroidbook345 Very nice and congrats on plat
@Zoowarp When I first saw your profile picture, I thought it was Saturn.
+2@Giantwhale Alright. I think I've decided on the I7-9750H with a 1660ti and 16GB.
@Plane66373637 Thank you, Asteroidbook cleared it up for me.
@Sinacraft yes, the command is written below.
+1@Hellosss38 Yes, as soon as it is finished.
@MrPorg137 I'm working on making it do the same thing at all altitudes.
@QingyuZhou I'll upload as soon as it's done. It still needs a few more hours of work.
+1@QingyuZhou Okay, let's do that when you're up for it and I've finished my 757. You will want to include cockpit, right?
@QingyuZhou I think we should have a build competition on a plane that neither of us have ever done before. I only build airliners though. What popular airliner have you never built before? (easier to find plans, blueprints, etc for popular plane)

@ChiChiWerx haha lol so I got it right

@QingyuZhou Is there a thing called simpleplanes masterchat? If so, could you give me a little more details?
@chigbu I don't think jundroo is a billion dollar company
@asteroidbook345 @QingyuZhou What happened to TSAD? Is there another group like it? If so, how do I get in?
MD-88 and 747-8
+1@ChiChiWerx I haven't programmed that in, but yes it will. I'll probably link it to a speed, like 140 mph or so.
@jamesPLANESii Yup it's all automatic
@ACEPILOT109 @QingyuZhou Thank you!
@asteroidbook345 oh cool
@CRJ900Pilot @Armyguy1534 Thanks!
@asteroidbook345 if you put two asterisks around text though, it becomes this
@randomusername Thank you!

So when the airplane reaches ground level, it is pitching up at just the right angle to maintain altitude for a second, while the engines power back and allow the airplane to descend. The code is:
clamp01(Activate5)X(clamp(((PitchAngle+ -3)/5), -1, 1))-(clamp01(Activate5)Xclamp((((AltitudeAgl / 10)X(-1))+1.8), 0, 1.6)Xclamp01(((AltitudeAgl)X(-1))+(20)))), -1, 1.5) / 3) + (Pitch / 2)
I've been having issues with smoke not really appearing. Where the X's are in the code, it stands for multiplication because you cannot put asterisks in comments really.

@Zoowarp @exosuit @spefyjerbf Thank you all for your help!
