I had good hopes with this challenge, and when you said "Building with a limited resource of only 25 parts makes your part choice and decision-making better" I was thinking "yeah exactly it's a good exercise, people will be able to take they're time on fuselage shape and part efficiency".
But actually everybody just made a plane in mess than a day because they didn't get the point of the challenge, looked at most of them and there isn't more than one plane with a good shaped fuselage.
@SpaceJunkee008 no since it is the "center" of the lift that the plane create, and a plane does create lift with its wings,but also thanks to the vertical stabilisators. And since the vertical stabs are oftenly smaller, the center of lift is oftenly between the wings and the vertical stabs, but closer to the wings.
@SpaceJunkee008 COM is "center of mass" and COL "center of lift". If you press your spacebar in the designer (or activate with the menu of it if you are on mobile), this will make three "balls" show up, a red one (COM), a blue one (COL) and a yellow one (COT, center of thrust). So now that you know all this, the only thing you have to know to make literally everything fly in Simpleplanes, is that your COM must ALWAYS be in front of the COL
SimplePlanes in my top 1, this game is just wonderful. I also enjoyed playing Raising Storm Vietnam II, Spore, Besiege and a lot of other games. There isn't so many games that I like, but the one I play I can stay hours on it.
make an AI version of the plane which you want to take a screenshot with. In this AI version, remove all weapons, or disable them if you want to see them (like put an ActivationGroup on it, AI can't use them). Then reduce the engine power of it just a bit, so if YOU reduce throttle, it will be able to follow you, but at the very moment or it will go past you and turn, just accelerate a little and it won't be able to go faster than you. Then just spawn it as agressive of course. With all this you can fly in formation for hours.
@Rodrigo110 For me it's more than a aircraft game, you can just build whatever you want, car, boat, plane, spaceship, tank, ballon, pigeon or dragons, that's what I call the ultimate sandbox. of course, skill is needed, otherways, where would be the fun.
@ReinMcDeer Yup, for me, it's kinda like all those games that have far more things in mind than Minecraft, better storys, more crafts, more blocks and stuff, but still, Minecraft stays because it has this thingy thingy
I'm pretty sure SP won't die, I mean FlyOut looks really great and cool but I honestly think that we won't find in FlyOut this thingy thingy we found in SimplePlanes, this weaird feeling of a game that actually doesn't want to help you. I mean, when FlyOut will be out, I'm sure it will be very easy to make realistic looking planes, it's already the case for the few good players on it. But what's the point of making it too easy ? What's the point of building if you're not doing it because it's challenging ? I like SP a lot, and of course this game still needs a lot of updates to get the job done. But I really hope that it will stay like it is, with complexe FT, weird ass shapes to make in 20hours, unrealisitc flight models that you can make good, all those shitty builds on the website and all the awesome ones. SimplePlanes in I think the ultimate sandboxe game in term of pure building.
@11qazxc it's more about the fact that the game doesn't like label text displaying too many pixels, that's what is causing the lag.
I was just saying that making this kind of thing is lighter with fuselage blocks even if it doesn't seem to and that it is more difficult.
But this application is still impressive.
@X99STRIKER it actually is, stay at your place,and if you want something create a mod. What, coding is difficult and time consuming ? Yes, so let the devs alone.
Why am I tagged on this ? Please don't tag people that asked to be tagged. I have nothing against this build since I didn't test it but it doesn't make me want to test it.
Well I'm sure that the AI is good at flying it but it's impossible to dogfight it since it takes like 25Gs and accelerates to mach 2 in three seconds and doesn't loose any energy.
@SirCarrot Actually I'm pretty sure that it's about the fact that I'm not really with this new generations of builders who are more looking at points that build quality, and that a lot of people hate me for that.
Also next time you ask who's the most loved guy on SP, don't show a list of who people can vote for, not a list of random builders that you like or not.
damn so much nostalgia even tho I play everyday, it remembers me when I started playing almost 5 years ago with my shitty builds it this awesome theme.
even at 50% it accelerates too fast.
+1@Bryan5 only american planes....
+1@Dathcha gold is only 5k points....
+1@Dathcha not at all, it's easy, get good or if you're lazy spam shitty builds

@funydude no

your COM must be in front of your COL
It's because you have to go in it, then go next to the text inside it written on the wall, and look at it for several seconds.

@plutoshouldbeaplanet lol you just don't know how to play this game I guess since everyobdy else can fly it well.
@IceCraftGaming then wait for me to cause drama
+3@ollielebananiaCFSP pinging myself so I can test it later
looks kinda good
Begging for upvotes isn't allowed by the rules, if you want visibility make good posts, people will upvote them by theirself.
Upload an aircraft!
+4@IAlsoBuildPlane wait for the release, they are made by MisterT
@IAlsoBuildPlane nope, I was just showing off some features
@IAlsoBuildPlane I never did a startup tutorial..
@WolfHunter9111 yes
+1It's not a tutorial, but it can show you how it's done.

+4@Henacwhnsv he isn't here to make whatever you want, just wait
+3that's not looking like a rafale
@D3tr0it1z1 this build has been posted é years ago now.
yay platinium with german builds

that's actually not lighter, in fact, it is heavier than multiple regular fuselage blocks

say hello to the lag

fantastic

+2Why am I tagged on this ? Please don't tag people that asked to be tagged. I have nothing against this build since I didn't test it but it doesn't make me want to test it.

@SirCarrot haha lol why ?
@Mobius121 already answered
@Mobius121 I don't know, in a few weeks, and no, I won't add a shark mouth.
it's me of course
damn so much nostalgia even tho I play everyday, it remembers me when I started playing almost 5 years ago with my shitty builds it this awesome theme.
+2it's still you tho.
