By now, blocks are mostly useless and they exist only to be beginner-friendly.
It would be faster to browse if we add a new section in part menu which contains all fuselage parts.
Furthermore, J90 is being a quite useless part. It weighs same as BFE150 and has same dismeter. My suggestion is to remove is from the part menu and add a new BFE90, which has a diameter between BFE150 and J50. It should also be much lighter in term of weight.
@11qazxc Interesting! I'll have to take a look at that. I knew of the file, but I just... never actually dove into it to see what it did... :}
Thanks!
@Formula350
Actually this file exists, it's
%userprofile%/appdata/locallow/jundroo/simpleplanes/DesignerParts.xml(for windows)It contains list of assemblies, and each assembly have name, category, settings for preview image, and list of it's parts with attributes.
It's structure is almost same as structure of sub-assemble files, so i think you can also add connections if assembly contains more than one part.
Yeah no
I get what he's saying, frankly.
Basically, it'd be nice if every part in the menu system could just be configured in a setting file, to personalize the order they appear in.
.
Furthermore, it'd be nice if each engine just allowed you to define it's power and scale, without the need for XML editing (be it in actual file, or via Overdrive mod). That way we can use it as we see fit: either as a proper engine with more or less power in a bigger or smaller diameter or as a tiny detail part that has no power, such as some of us do. :)
Personally, my OWN gripe with the menu system is that the built-in "Fine Tuner" and the "Attachments Editor" buttons aren't available in the main menu, as it's annoying having to always click on the "Move Menu" first.
I also don't even use the built-in Fine Tuner, partly for that reason, but also because it lacks the Scale ability of the actual Mod :P I use the absolute crap out of the Attachment Editor though, so just being able to customize the menu system would be handy there as well since it'd let me put its button out on the designer screen, always there for me to click!
@RedSpy yes, I love the J-90 for making air vents and other details with spinning parts, it makes anything look great if you’re trying to be part efficient
