I wonder if this will come in handy if my game crashes while saving. An alternative source for backups that’s running constantly would be great when that horrible moment happens.
@MonsterAvgeek this is a great question. That would offer the option to texture and turn emblems on our builds into a single part. That would be great for keeping those part counts down.
How hard would it be if implement the ability differentiate ammo on different cannons. This is mostly so I could make a fancy ammo counter in the new update
Maybe it could be something like CannonAmmo1
CannonAmmo2 or something like that. It could probably go up to six.
It looks great! The performance cost is very intense though. Even a small thirty two by thirty two image is around twenty parts performance wise.
If only the image generator made a pallet of colors the picture uses and just points to the colors instead of putting the same color In over and over per pixel for basic flat images. It would probably save some performance by shortening up the overall code output.
The fact this can handle sweep makes this much better then the previous generation of 3D wing. It’s also a little easier to add control surfaces to. I’m going to need to use this on my next build to really add that extra bit of realism.
Can we get more types of artificial horizon? The default just doesn’t match up with what I’m trying to do. some flat versions and grey versions would work really well with different types of gauge. A paintable 2d version would also be nice for digital displays.
I’d love to hop on the beta when that launches. Testing the new gear and being able to resume creation would be a godsend. Especially since I’ve put a few builds on hold waiting on the fuselage cutting feature and new cockpit functionality.
@Graingy Pretty much. Heck there’s a dude named Peter sripol that makes a crazy build every year and has a YouTube channel. He made a build that’s like thirty six feet long one year. Looked like a train in the sky lmao!
@MrSilverWolf
This is much appreciated information. I’ll take it to note if someone outright re-uploads one of my builds again.
It happened once and it was a very distressing experience that put me off my game for quite a while. Allot of work goes into my builds especially in cockpit detail. To have it just stolen like that with zero effort put in was a hard thing to deal with, especially considering it was a very long term project that predated modern simple planes build systems.
Funny enough, I actually can as a curator. I’ve been working vr compatible airplanes for quite a bit so this build pretty much came out of the box ready to fly in VR with all of its collisions Set up. Lmao
@Rework
@Jwpdaviesjr I was honestly surprised ios beta was even a thing. It’s kinda cool but I’m still a Pc power user though. If only you could get overload and fine tuner scaling on mobile lol
@vonhubert yeah an extra internal axis would be great. You could assign it to a lever and then put a greater than function on it. Then when you pull it all the way back it activates a action group. It would be great for flap levers and ejector seat pull handles. The applications are limitless!
I asked this earlier but I think the question got buried. If I were to set the axis of a control base to a action group via xml. When VR releases will the control base output the action group of its set like that?
If so, that would really be handy for ejection seats and canopy releases. It also means I don’t need to rework the canopy release on my current build from the ground up.
Can I get a text example on how to use this? I’d like to put the new function to use. The post shows what the labels are capable of but it just doesn’t quite explain how to write the inputs.
Man now if only we could get a g-1000 and digital panels into the game as well. There are allot of work in progress builds of mine that could really use those.
Thanks allot! I’m hoping to put out a few new builds I’ve been working on for a while! What do you think on the mechanical instrumentation mod by the way? @Alta2809
@Graingy I’d think so, maybe I might make some plastic or carbon fiber strengtheners next time I build this airframe. The big thing was major hits had a strong chance of kicking the motor right off the fuselage.
@Graingy you could probably locate the antennas on the outside of the airframe and tape em down. Well. If they aren’t the new spectrum ones. The newer AR620s don’t have an external antenna. On those, it’s small and hidden inside the plastic case of the receiver itself. Antennas have gotten allot smaller nowadays.
@Graingy I think you can do that but it gets expensive fast. Receivers tend to be the most expensive part on a build. The can transmit and receive through foam, plastics and wood real easily though so they end up very ideal materials.
@Graingy personally I like radiomaster stuff better. Spectrums a more common manufacturer and once you have a bunch of airplanes up in the air. Their signals start stepping on each other and planes stop receiving input and drop out of the sky.
@Graingy maybe I could use it in the motor mount if it doesn’t mess with signal. I’ve had enough receiver signal losses in the last few years to be cautious of it lol!

+10@MonsterAvgeek this is a great question. That would offer the option to texture and turn emblems on our builds into a single part. That would be great for keeping those part counts down.
+5An option to adjust the muzzle flash on cannons would be great for those planes that mount cannons instead of guns.

Will we get glass hollow fuselages? This would be a godsend for the new more realistic cockpits.

+2Are we going to get multiple sizes and types of switch? I’d Like some ww2 style switches and extra levers for gears.
Maybe even some ejector seat pull handles and stuff
An option to custom build switches and controls would also be very handy.

Can’t wait to fly through some clouds in my somewhat secret new build in progress

@PlaneFlightX thanks allot! This should come very handy!
+1How did you commit this magic? And how do I obtain such power XD. This would make some amazing one part emblems.

+1A new rpm function dedicated to jets would also be nice to have for cockpit building.
+1Awesome! Is manually adding mods from the website also going to be an option @AndrewGarrison
+1Are spmods going to work in vr? I’d love to use the cctv mod for some mech action.
+1Man now if only we could get a g-1000 and digital panels into the game as well. There are allot of work in progress builds of mine that could really use those.
+1@V that’s cool! I may need to experiment with rotors a bit more then.
+1Paneling is a hard thing to do but man is it handy for making nice cockpits.
+1This is a pretty sweet creation! Is that rotor powered at all? if flys like it’s actually auto rotating.
+1Can’t wait to get back to building fancy cockpits! Getting some working stream gauge parts would be great for keeping those part counts down.
Hand building gauges is probably one of the most time consuming and part count intensive parts of a cockpit.
+1Thanks allot! I’m hoping to put out a few new builds I’ve been working on for a while! What do you think on the mechanical instrumentation mod by the way? @Alta2809
+1@Graingy it can be a couple things. Sometimes props dig themselves into the large airframes
With the big CA.60 he flew. It had like nine wings. A flying wing got entrapped between two of them lol!
@Graingy yeah, he definitely flys longer. Sometimes the smaller foam planes get entangled in big builds like that and end up big drag generators.
@Graingy for Flite fest that all goes out the window lol.
@Graingy not really. I could probably double up the foam to give the hot glue more surface to connect to the fuselage though.
@Graingy more like it peels entire top end of the nose, Motor mount included, from the wing. Easy to fix cause of its square design though.
@Graingy it’s skewered down to the airframe. Common for a foam board build. It’s strong enough for flying but struggles when. Taking a massive hit.
@Graingy I’d think so, maybe I might make some plastic or carbon fiber strengtheners next time I build this airframe. The big thing was major hits had a strong chance of kicking the motor right off the fuselage.
@Graingy you could probably locate the antennas on the outside of the airframe and tape em down. Well. If they aren’t the new spectrum ones. The newer AR620s don’t have an external antenna. On those, it’s small and hidden inside the plastic case of the receiver itself. Antennas have gotten allot smaller nowadays.
@Graingy I think you can do that but it gets expensive fast. Receivers tend to be the most expensive part on a build. The can transmit and receive through foam, plastics and wood real easily though so they end up very ideal materials.
@Graingy it’s just called that. It’s pretty much a second receiver wired into the main via a cable you can plug in.
@Graingy personally I like radiomaster stuff better. Spectrums a more common manufacturer and once you have a bunch of airplanes up in the air. Their signals start stepping on each other and planes stop receiving input and drop out of the sky.
@Graingy yeah, you can get what’s called satellite recivers depending on what receiver you’re using.
I think spektrum and radiomaster make a few.
@Graingy maybe I could use it in the motor mount if it doesn’t mess with signal. I’ve had enough receiver signal losses in the last few years to be cautious of it lol!
