@AstleyIndustries I guess that's true for you since your best one is
https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/0wkbuT/Minute-Timer-v1-0
and it's amazing how you literally made a working timer.
I remember when I actually participated, god damn I should have expected the map to be like this...Still it is probably the best and only map for an attack heli.
@GeneralOliverVonBismarck @randomusername
I found the problem, apparently the old underwater mod has a bug that makes cockpits float really well.
Remember this underwater mod?
https://www.simpleplanes.com/Mods/View/518228/Under-Water
@randomusername yes, regardless of how I set the cockpit it will always be buoyant, and in a strange way because it can stay afloat however much weight you place.
@randomusername I tried that too, It didn't work.
It's also the first thing I tried since I always do this for submarines.
Also none of the parts are buoyant except the cockpit.
@JaycoCat so the backside lifts up? it's a common phenomenon don't worry about it.
this only happens to wing designs or candards because the elevator control surface in the rear are inverted.
therefore the rear will lift up when you pitch upwards.
@GeneralOliverVonBismarck I tend to believe this has something to do with the old underwater mod cuz ever since I downloaded it, none of the submarines work.
used this mod cuz the newer under water mod didn't work:
https://www.simpleplanes.com/Mods/View/518228/Under-Water
tbh I would want to see a variety of new weapons in the future.
list of weapons I want to see in the future:
-cannon
-laser guided atgm(piloted like in war thunder)
-railgun.
-cluster weapons in the form of a bomb or missile.
-anti ballistic missiles weapons of any form and I would love to see it as a laser like the ones on icebase.
-homing torpedoes(like modern ones on modern submarines)
-new type of interceptor missile that flies at super sonic speed and has insane range.
@GeneralOliverVonBismarck The submarine I downloaded uses pistons, and it didn't work. also when I was testing my prototype I didn't start with pistons because it is to test whether the submarine has the right amount of ballist to make the submarine have more realistic performance however... Whatever I did I could not make the submarine sink, even when I made the submarine weight about 642,000lbs.
Which is ridiculous doncha think?
the thing is... I have experimented with many designs in the past and now all these methods are obsolete because of this problem and it might be caused by the mobile beta. Also I don't want to use the cockpit as the floating block because it's targetable by the ai.
@GeneralOliverVonBismarck use any sub. None of them will submerge due to the cockpit if you are in the mobile beta version.
But sure use them, as lame as a submarine that cannot submerge is...
Apparently the trigger to finding the location is a position on the side if the hangar where's there's a sort of suspicious empty area(it's a sorta box from the top view). Just imagine ice base's hangar intersection as a hexagon but now where's an area that is large enough to park your plane.
Also I do not agree to the change of physics as it is not required. Assuming that you're not an iOS user you won't have any problems since we Android users(or pc or whatever) have the power of xml. But if you are on iOS on the other hand your luck has ran out and I don't know how to help.
@ThePrototype depending on the type missiles in game the speed varies. You could have a missile as slow as a cleaver or the missile fired from ai aa trucks or something as fast as an interceptor or guardian.
So... you want to talk to others by the means of giving advice or counselling as a means to help people?
Tbh I think ShiptyTheLucario is right. Since this is a simple planes forums it's not preferable to use this website for this.
Tbh I want change @IliaPilot 's tank too.
Maybe some armour, better all terrain capability, maneuverability, firepower and changed controls? Tho this comes at a price that'll change the external looks of the tank.
Btw I'll use your first post
I was carefully searching on with the spaceship tag and out of all the ridiculous looking designs I picked this one and it is probably the best vehicle I've ever flown.
Now...The thing...is I've noticed that you create some really interesting things as I've recently seen you a lot in the website, I might as well follow you.@Spectre2520
Simpleplanes has been dying ever since some youtubers started leaving simple planes, a while later some youtubers like frantic matty still play this game however the popularity of his channel or any other channels doing simple planes content will not be enough to sustain the player base. In the end imo this has nothing to do with updates...
Note:there are still tags with the name of the youtubers who used to do videos on simple planes.
@Hadentheaviator hmmm...Someone said way over the top and silly? Hell no...I wanted to build something like this ever since I've started playing this game.
However you gotta understand that everything is a trade off...Something that works well may not look good while something that looks good won't work well...How about this... Let's change the requirements.(and tag me in I'm gonna try this challenge)
Changes that may help"
-allow any build of an irl replica or any aircraft that existed from the media to blueprints.
-allow all types of engines to be used.
-remove the requirement for realistic engine, beacons with ag1, navs with ag2, strobes with ag3, taxi lights with ag4, landing on(?) with ag5, and engine with ag 8, working flaps and last but not least remove the cockpit requirement.
Fyi here's my first ever plane and post at the same time. Btw the successor I used for this challenge uses the same paint.
https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/72zZ1J/eagle
@Aarons123 well no it wasn't for its time, simple planes had no trim back then and the ai loved to pull hard on the controls which meant the maneuverable plane would stall out every dogfight and that the plane always wanted to go down instead of up, then the rocket launcher would explode if you pull up while firing it which was extremely unhandy and then because the plane was wobbly in a long range interception. There was a chance that the plane would explode while firing a missile. Last of all the plane was extremely bad in terms of fuel efficiency and would run out of fuel in minutes! DON'T FLY IT INTO BATTLE the end.
@OliverFlys if only it was allowed in the challenge...Make it a successor to the post.
Here:
https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/6b92N0/Watercraft-Challenge
It looks interesting but not interesting enough.
@A1Rush2B3 it's okay.
What's does jank mean?
Looks like someone knows how to make something fast... neat!
This does seem to have some disadvantages...
Due to how this works it’s probably not going to work in missions.
@AstleyIndustries I guess that's true for you since your best one is
https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/0wkbuT/Minute-Timer-v1-0
and it's amazing how you literally made a working timer.
Obviously using the tool thingy.

tell me, does it just detach the cockpit?
@Ruffes123 so it doesn't work? lmao
How does this "stealth" work?
use the tag challenge if you want to be noticed.

I follow you too now.
Apparently the trigger to finding the location is a position on the side if the hangar where's there's a sort of suspicious empty area(it's a sorta box from the top view). Just imagine ice base's hangar intersection as a hexagon but now where's an area that is large enough to park your plane.
By advanced you mean increase performance?
I tested it and it seems like it has an understeering problem that makes it unable to go straight.
@ThatoneMArtist all I'm going to say is:
good luck modding that out.
Also I do not agree to the change of physics as it is not required. Assuming that you're not an iOS user you won't have any problems since we Android users(or pc or whatever) have the power of xml. But if you are on iOS on the other hand your luck has ran out and I don't know how to help.
@ThePrototype depending on the type missiles in game the speed varies. You could have a missile as slow as a cleaver or the missile fired from ai aa trucks or something as fast as an interceptor or guardian.
So if it's not real...
THE WHAT EXACTLY IS IT?
So... you want to talk to others by the means of giving advice or counselling as a means to help people?
Tbh I think ShiptyTheLucario is right. Since this is a simple planes forums it's not preferable to use this website for this.
@JicamaLord it's just modding pretty much. I was thinking about using mods such as overload or fine tuner(mostly overload)
@ChallengerHellcat same here...I always think that functionality comes first and it makes me wonder if I should learn to make better looking vehicles.
Nice experiment. Maybe change the yaw to throttle control then XML that to see what happenes XD
Also can you use the experimental tag?
@ChallengerHellcat oh...So it's more of a first priority when it comes to looks and functionality isn't first? That seems to make sense.
@Novemberpapa243 sure thing...
How will this be possible in anyway?
Airobatic? You mean aerobatic?
Tbh I want change @IliaPilot 's tank too.
Maybe some armour, better all terrain capability, maneuverability, firepower and changed controls? Tho this comes at a price that'll change the external looks of the tank.
Btw I'll use your first post
@Diamondwolf that seems to be the longest deadline I've ever seen.
I've decided to use a heavy bomber for this.
And it wasn't as difficult as you'd think.
@Hadentheaviator awww... well still...Have a good day.
@Robossbomb I have to change the description now so that people know how this works:
-Drop the bomb.
-switch camera.
-profit.
What's so special about this?
I was carefully searching on with the spaceship tag and out of all the ridiculous looking designs I picked this one and it is probably the best vehicle I've ever flown.
Now...The thing...is I've noticed that you create some really interesting things as I've recently seen you a lot in the website, I might as well follow you.@Spectre2520
Well tbh I tend to abuse the bugs and used them as game mechanics sometimes.
