Just a note: One red band represents the first ship of the 1st Carrier Division (Akagi)
I wonder why would a seaplane fighter bear a recognition mark of a carrier... Very nice plane anyway.
@Marine As far as I know, in order to make an automatic walking, you need to have a series of pistons and rotators to work in perfect coordination, which is theoretically possible in vanilla game but requires perfect timing.
using that Automation mod sounds more reasonable to me.
@OC3LOT1142 I think this is another application of Aggressive AI. He probably rigged the explosives to detonate when the AI gives the FireGuns command, which triggers at close range regardless of direction.
@Jerba It's a thing of past already.
Basically in order to make a point, I linked my creation and one of other's as examples, and was accused of "advertising my own work".
@Minecraftpoweer "remove the forum" do you mean remove this post or sth?
I am fully aware it's not the end of the world. I posted this just to ask about the alleged advertisement.
@Minecraftpoweer In order to make a point, I gave links about my PAPI and the IED. PAPI was made by me, IED was made by someone else. They both use aggressive AI.
My point was : if you think sb. stole your Harrier, do you think I should say that IED stole the idea from my PAPI about using aggressive AI?
Of course not, right? So the point is, there will be people using your ideas and it's ok.
But that guy states that my action of posting and mentioning my creation is a kind of advertisement and thus "took appropriate actions".
@Minecraftpoweer Well my intention was to ask whether this was indeed "advertising my works". This can be posted, right?
And unfortunately mentioning the story of me being blocked was a integral part of it.
Sure I can "censor" all the wordings about being blocked, but is that necessary? and does that even work?
Also it's "don't post about a certain player who blocked you."
I didn't mention his name and I never will.
The rules mentioned three situations:
1. mentioning the PERSON who blocked you.
2. mentioning the PERSON who blocked your friend.
3. mentioning an incident in which certain people (PLURAL) blocked one another.
I just got blocked on the other thread so I have to come here.
Seriously, there are very, very limited things you can copyright here, is what I understand when I first joined SimplePlanes.
I can't and won't copyright concepts myself, not even for building "ways". In fact you can copy some simple subassemblies of mine like revolver cannons and I won't say a thing. Only some pretty unique or complicated parts would I request credit when you copy them.
And that's when you COPY the parts. If you use your own hands to build a similar one in the same ways, and it's your creation and your creation alone.
It's not abnormal to think so, right?
@IStoleYourMeme I actually thought about custom LG on this one, but the IRL counterpart of this craft features very simple LG design that it doesn't really mean much to do so...
Custom wings huh... sounds like it's about time.
@Minecraftpoweer I don't play much mobile games but I do surf Google Play. In my years of doing so I never saw a game with two download buttons. So I thought that if SP is to have 32- and 64-bit version it would probably have to be submitted as two games, and whether this satisfies google is questionable.
(For reference, I can confirm that trial versions and full versions of the same game are submitted as two independent games in Google Play.)
Either way it's just a technical issue. The point is for SP to provide both versions, which is quite a good suggestion.
@Minecraftpoweer Well, does google play even support having two versions under the same title? and I'm not sure "32 bit library" equals to "32 bit version of the whole game"...
so if you want to put a 32 bit version you'll have to put it somewhere else...
ofc you can put the link of 32 bit version in the Google Play page, it's gonna work nonetheless.
@Minecraftpoweer No actually, it's the same.
The publish platform ask you to do something, you do it in one version, and put the version that can't satisfy their needs elsewhere.
Yeah I thought about that too, that's why I didn't make my own piston engine...
Perhaps you can try using 2 pistons in place of one?
one starts extended, the other retracted, and give them different activation groups, so you extend the 2nd piston, and activate the 1st after full extension.
but this is not gonna work if you're making a V8 or other complicated piston builds...
@Baby Lol thanks. I used some ways to cut the parts count, like using flat cones and thin hollow fuselages to make the cockpit glass supports. (that saved me about 50 parts)
Judging from your points you should be familiar with XML modding already, and you can easily reduce drag by modifying individual dragscales and calculatedrag values, just like what ISToleYourMeme said.
Though I'd like to add that sometimes smaller drag is not necessarily better. When I was making my Me 262 HGIII, I tried reducing drag from the air intake, and found out that it actually slows it down in high altitude. (it increases speed at low altitude but reduces it at high altitude, idk why.)
So now I usually only turn off drag for some exterior cosmetic parts like beacon lights, antennas, etc.
@RussianAS 103 is a lot bigger than 108 though?
If you can install an 103 you should be able to put a MK213 too...
I'd like to have an independent setting for that. I had to use worse engines for my new plane because of just that.

@Marine hmm... I never tried the mod so maybe you'll have to ask the creator of that mod for instructions.
@RussianAS Unguided rockets? Try selfDestructTimer (rocket will explode after certain time from launch)?
I think you need to take a look at the Automation Mod.
@Jerba It's a thing of past already.
Basically in order to make a point, I linked my creation and one of other's as examples, and was accused of "advertising my own work".
@Minecraftpoweer I know what you meant, just saying that "super colorful" version would look hilarious lol.
"Colors are still placeholders"
Hey I got an idea, how about you make a rainbow-colored version beside the "normal" version? It's gonna be hilarious.
@SubXTribe Link at the end of description
@SubXTribe I've uploaded it.
@SubXTribe Right I'll make one, hold on
@SubXTribe I can make one, but it's not going to feature a bomb bay door. is that okay?
@Trainzo Thanks, glad you like it.
@Dllama4 Please tag me when you finished
I like the Orange. It looks very experimental-ish anyway.
@Minecraftpoweer Right then.
I'l just leave this post be, and continue my next plane.
@Minecraftpoweer "remove the forum" do you mean remove this post or sth?
I am fully aware it's not the end of the world. I posted this just to ask about the alleged advertisement.
@Minecraftpoweer Frustration is also my guess, but as you definitely know, a guess from the exactly same guy who got _ed by him usually doesn't count.
@Minecraftpoweer In order to make a point, I gave links about my PAPI and the IED. PAPI was made by me, IED was made by someone else. They both use aggressive AI.

I don't think my post fits any of the above.
Usually a lag is more related to GPU rather than CPU
Nice build by the way.
@Minecraftpoweer yea that's pretty much the way i see it...
I just got blocked on the other thread so I have to come here.

@Mod LOL
@Mod I think you're like 4 hours late lol
Alright I put a new screenshot. There's no secret now...
@Aeromen Um well it's supposed to be a teaser-ish, just like how test vehicles are camouflaged...
But since Destroyerz117 already showed the full plane... yeah I'll take another one soon.
@IStoleYourMeme I actually thought about custom LG on this one, but the IRL counterpart of this craft features very simple LG design that it doesn't really mean much to do so...
Custom wings huh... sounds like it's about time.
@Axartar That'll be mod guns. Some mod guns (like gestaur's grenade launcher) launches explosive rounds.
The vanilla guns can't damage bridges.
Holy cow, a few weeks earlier it was ducks, now it's the KVs who are going to dominate Simple Planes front page!
Interesting, I'll try it next time.
Guns in 1.8 can't damage bridges anyway.
@IStoleYourMeme Close, but not exactly Ju287
287 has fixed landing gear.

done
I'm not sure if rounds per second supports decimals...

So on the Bright side, we know that 1.9 exists.
What other changes will there be? @AndrewGarrison
@Nobodygood Thank you. Glad you like it.
@Baby you asked me to tag you, I hope this doesn't disappoint you.
@Baby Will do, hope it doesn't disappoint you.

@Baby 160 and I wish to keep it below 200.
I'm not the kind of guy who make multi-hundred-part planes.
Right now I'm making a gun temperature indicator, a bomb release switch and a bomb sight monitor.
Uh what?
The time between 1.7.1 and 1.8 was less than one year (May 2018 and March 2019)
