@Firgreen I have a question. I am wanting to get into modding, and have unity completely downloaded and ready. How do I make a map plugin instead of an entirely new map? This is vital information I need to begin. I was hoping to make a large military base and city based on the Maywar island, as the Windshifter's Aerospace Engineering Corporation (WAEC) base.
Also do you know if it is possible to make map plugins with external models (models not pre-loaded from simpleplanes, but downloadable unity models)?
Additionally, what is the accurate SimplePlanes scale? I noticed when I try to make mods, and I put the simpleplanes assets such as runways or hangars into the mod, it is really small, inaccurate for the SP game world. What is the correct scale I need?
@TheUltimatePlaneLover Idk if you have since solved this? If yes, great! If not, just for your info the kraken rises from the ocean when you get near, so 10 000ft-50 000ft would just see a small, innocent island (the top of the head), if you are lucky enough. This is a feature.
If I remember correctly, I believe this is the aircraft I used to discover all the locations:
https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/e6zXvN/Fc-912C
A really awesome aircraft, with a full GPS system (I think) that can send you in the direction of any major location you want (including Waymar and Kraken).
@TheMouse Great that you like it. It is the mod map 'Wright Island 2' By Kennneth. I added real-time, in-game Reshader effects for extra pizazz! (It adds Ambiant Occlusion, which is basically visually more realistic depth rendering. Also camera effects, more vivid colours, and lots of other cool stuff. Though really, this image uses reshader to its lowest extent, almost unnoticable except for the vivid colours.)
@hpgbproductions Ah ok so you can display windows open on your windows, but not interact with them, yes? Kind of like a shared screen in meeting apps (like zoom)?
As for the IFE, you mentioned a mod you might use. Is that mod what I think it is? Allowing you to make a computer in SP? Running Microsoft Windows? And you mentioned adding Netflix/Youtube? Would that be like actually searching up a video you want to watch? Anything at all, or just specifically loaded files? I have so many questions on that mod, please!
@TheUltimatePlaneLover yeah its the map mod 'Wright Island 2' By Kennneth. Quite cool, but is pretty taxing on your device. Especially when I added in-game reshader effects.
@PlaneFlightX It would be cool if you could implement the screens from this mod into the SWL-120 as in-flight entertainment, unless you have something else in mind?
@PlaneFlightX Ok, I assume the test sounds were for the SWL-120 engines?
Interesting about the possibility of a sound mod - I know you are quite busy so I shall ask around other modders if they can finish/create that idea.
For discord, sure. But I am currently travelling right now so I'll inquire about it later when I get back, or whenever need be.
@hpgbproductions Would you be willing to make a mod for it, or at least try? It would be a truly transformative mod, one that is desperately needed in-game

Thanks in advance.
@PlaneFlightX Oh wow nice! Thats more than I actually expected! SP is a lot more advanced than I thought!
+1@TheMouse Ok. I'd be happy to.
@TheMouse As long as you tell me what type of shots you want when tagging me, so I have an idea of what screenshots to take and what effects to use.
+1@TheMouse Oh thats a shame. If you want you could tag me on the aircrafts before you publish it and I can do some thumbnails for you?

@PlaneFlightX Maybe I just have my hopes up, that would be so cool but kinda unreal...
@PlaneFlightX Completely understood about school.

@hpgbproductions Wait a sec - you mean windows as in Microsoft Windows? Can this make like a computer in SimplePlanes?
@TheUltimatePlaneLover yeah its the map mod 'Wright Island 2' By Kennneth. Quite cool, but is pretty taxing on your device. Especially when I added in-game reshader effects.
@PlaneFlightX I have ridden on airliners with the ability to select real-time aircraft camera views from the inflight entertainment.
@PlaneFlightX It would be cool if you could implement the screens from this mod into the SWL-120 as in-flight entertainment, unless you have something else in mind?

Nice! I might join.

@Monarchii ah nice!
+1@Majakalona Yeah ain't proud of it but I lost the password and email to those accounts
+1@Monarchii I was thinking of it more like a building challenge/inspiration. The war is just the entertaining part
+1@Jacob30x What piece did you get?
@Jacob30x wow ok!
@hpgbproductions Would you be willing to make a mod for it, or at least try? It would be a truly transformative mod, one that is desperately needed in-game
+1@TheMouse :O really where? But say if do it manually ok?
I think I want to learn coding and make a bot for upvoting all of people's posts lol
