@Kroixo Wow, one year, that is impressive. I can certainly do some screenshots for you.
Also, photorealisic creations are actually best; I can enhance the graphics, but it won't work miracles on creations with low detail.
I look forward to seeing it!
@RepublicOfCursedPlanes @TheMouse I've seen this before, and I know it is so old, but I just figured it out. Just increase your mouse's scroll speed (under 'lines to scroll at a time')
@PlaneFlightX How should I use it? I added Part Mesh Configuration to the part, but now its glitching where one I put it into a build, an unlimited amount of them spawn on top of each other, and transfer across builds. So if I change aircraft, it stays exactly where it is; it doesn't get despawned when loading another aircraft. They're selectable, but undeletable. And I can;t move it without using the Fine Tuner interface.
@frogbot4000 I'm really busy trying to get out my own aircraft for an SP challenge closing in 11 days time, but I have managed to dabble a little on your craft. I did a bit of Funky Trees code on your rotators and pistons, so now instead of having to use AG2 with VTOL, then AG3 with VTOL, you can just use the landing gear button and it'll do both at the same time, with the appropriate delays to avoid clipping. I think your flotation issue is that the pontoons aren't large enough, thats all. I've already got something in mind, but it will take a little while.
@WinsWings You really should make a larger scale painting. Maybe add a few more iconic aircraft in greater detail throughout. The concept is perfect, I encourage you to further it.
@frogbot4000 Oh, you're talking about your plane, not the plane in this post here? If I get some spare time I'll test your craft out and see what I can recommend.
Oh, and to link something just put [text you want to appear](link)
For example, [Sea Frog FP-001](https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/HC7bRC/Sea-Frog-FP-001)
@frogbot4000 I was using this ocean mod to do @Tingly06822 's screenshots. I'm pretty sure you're using the same. I had the exact same issues while positioning the aircraft for the shots, and had to use a very rough workaround.
Tingly, by the way, this post has very similar issues. Slightly better, but will still flip quite often. What did you do in your attempt to fix the issue?
@NathanMikeska, I think the main addition I would like for part mirroring would be to be able to mirror around a custom axis. For example, if you were designing a missile currently attached to an aircraft, you would be able to select the item you want mirrored, then select the missile body as the mirror axis to mirror the item to the other side of the missile. This would be good for main landing gear as well; select the wheel, make the gear strut the axis, and viola. My idea for this style of mirroring comes mainly from my tinkering with Autodesk Fusion.
@PlaneFlightX Very nice! Just wondering, are you planning to make the exterior interactable as well? It would be interesting to somehow pair this with the FPS Camera as well to be able to do a full pre-flight walkaround.
@Seeras Oh, you're not a mod anymore? Sorry, I didn't realise. It's a shame to see you go.
@MrSilverWolf Are you able to help instead? See my comment below.
@RestlessGalaxies I'll be sure to join the discord. Personally, I wouldn't give out spotlights as prizes as it entirely depends on whether we have higher points than them.
@Seeras, I think we have a bot here.
Also, if you look at the top two comments on THIS post, another user (Natasha11) replied to this user whom I also suspect to be a bot.
@RestlessGalaxies I read down a bit further and it appears that you are getting help from other users? If it doesn't disqualify me from entering, I might be able to find the time to help out.
@RestlessGalaxies Just making sure you're certain you can give those prizes? At least 180 upvotes and 20 more for each valid entry, you're going to be there for years waiting for the cooldown between upvotes. Not to mention the user will need to have 100/50/30/20 (respectively) posts of their own for you to upvote.
To clarify, I'm not trying criticize - I just want to ensure you're aware of all that.
@AndrewGarrison When do you expect to notify successful signups? Are you already selecting and notifying users for the playtest, or will that be upcoming?
@32 What do you think about my latest screenshots, for the BMW-M340i by Tingly? Here are the shots, using the new reshade preset.
I found taking off SCurve (Whatever that is - I saw it was recommended by a few people and just threw it in) improved it quite a bit. I also added a bit of far DOF, and a few other bits and pieces.
@Monarchii I just asked JSTQ and Christiant2, the main (perhaps even the only) members of the Reformists. They both said they have no navy, nor do they intend to produce/acquire any.
Hold on, if its all inland skirmishes, whats our navy for then? The best application I see for ships would be AA defence, but thats still pretty limited.
More navy? At least we're on the Loyalists side together, so I don't need to out-navy you. Our enemies don't have any navy! Nor do they even intend to. Thats fair, I guess - they're a revolution.
@JSTQ You mean to say you don't even have a navy? Wow....
I can give you a little pointer there. Try do what the MDA did in the previous M-War, when our enemies had a massive navy and we had none. I made Assault Dinghies. They can be fitted with torpedoes, to take out large craft, and mass produced because they are so cheap.

@PlaneFlightX Oh yes, I do. I sent you a request.

@PlaneFlightX Thanks! I'm glad you have a fix!
I've used mesh renderers in other Unity projects, it just didn't occur to me that this would need it.

@AndrewGarrison Hey, perhaps you could release a clip of the intended SP2 sountrack as a teaser?

@Rocketguy2079 I got those tags, I mean I didn't get tagged on the new craft yet
@Rocketguy2079 Certain? I haven't gotten the notification
@Rocketguy2079 Still good for the screenshots? I'm ready to do them now, but the post you linked me to appears to have been removed
@Rocketguy2079 Sure, I'd be happy to - but only if you can wait until monday. I'm currently overseas right now, hence the late response.

Great work!
What mod plugin did you use for the screenshots?
@Monarchii They said they had no navy at all.

I'm not the Chief of Allied Naval Operations for nothing ;)

You were once MDA! How dare you assist our enemies!
But lore aside, are you officially chosing to side with JSTQ?
