The SPW... S?

ThePilotDude has created a new forum post seires that gives shoutouts to noteworthy players from that week. It totally does not have a name similar to another news publication.... Anyways, I give it my blessing and best wishes, even despite it’s unoriginality.

Space in SimplePlanes?

IzzylA has found a place in the SimplePlanes world where there is no gravity. This is truly a first for SimplePlanes; something we’ve not had in a very long time. Additionally, developer HellFireKoder upvoted the post, meaning this really is legitimate. Nice work Izzy!

Interview with jamesPLANESii:

Yesterday, I interviewed talented builder and longtime user jamesPLANESii about his SimplePlanes career. Here is what he said:

Awsomur: For those who don’t know you, give us a bit about yourself. Also, when did you join SimplePlanes, and what do you like doing the most here?

James: My name is james, I build PLANES, and I have an ii at the end of my username. I got SP a week after it came out, buy discovering it on SimpleRockets. I made an SP account soon after a bought it, but I’ve forgotten the name of it, and lost the password. Then I made an account called JamesPLANES, and forgot the password for it again, and then I made an account called jamesPLANESii. So yeah that’s my history. Other stuff about me, I am a 15 year old boi from New Zealand who has been an aviation enthusiast since the age of 4 and desperately wants to be a bush pilot XD

A: How do you go about building your creations? Is there a method to your madness?

J: Generally, first, I build the bottom of the fuselage, then I build the walls, then I build the top, then I build the wings and gizmos, then I build the livery. If you want more info on how I build my planes, you can check out the predecessors of them. That’ll bring you back in time to show how I made it.

A: How do you get the inspiration for your uploads? Is it through the Internet or something else?

J: Well I just build what I’m interested in XD No method at all! XD
Ibuild what I’m interested in, and the interest in the thing that I’m building is the main reason I keep building. Also all the learning about the aircraft as I do research on it gives me my inspiration as well.

A: What’s the biggest lesson you’ve ever had to learn on SimplePlanes, and how has it affected you?

Learning how aeroplanes fly. That has made me the best paper plane inventer in the universe. XD
Learning about the aeroplanes is a pretty fun lesson too. :)

Thanks again to James for letting me interview him. And I’m sorry that I haven’t done one of these for the past couple installments.

SimpleRockets:

The SR2 booth at Pixel Pop Festival was a great success for Jundroo. Not only did they get to meet their newest employee HellFireKoder, but they were able to see their newest creation at work and players enjoying it.

Teasers and other posts:

Here are some notable promos/interesting forums from the past week:
Evil Wing, by BogdanX: This sweet looking plane will no doubt make it’s way into the mentionable builds when it’s released!
oh wait, I’m old? by RailfanEthan: Our favorite trainsexual user RailfanEthan is three years old this week! And don’t worry; according to Google a rail car can last 30-40 years, not to mention the actual engine.
Get in Hans, by Stellarlabs: It’s a.... tank of some sort! I can’t spell German names so I’ll call it the British-Beater tank for short.

Mentionable Builds:

F-104 Starfighter SD, by SledDriver: SledDriver always makes great looking creations, and this one is no exception.

G.J.3070 Akee, by Gela: A really sick plane by a silver user. Can’t wait to see what they make next!

Supermarine Seafang F.MK.32 5.6, by RamboJutter: You might ask: “how can anyone still make WWII planes interesting?” Well RamboJutter has your answer, with a super-awesome, super-detailed seafang fighter.

USER SHOUTOUT:

please don’t tag this user in the comments: that’s really tacky!

Vanillavehcompany

Having just joined yesterday, there’s no telling how this user will turn out. But if his first build is any indication, he’s going to be a great builder of ground vehicles.

That’s all for this week’s news. Have a safe and enjoyable rest of your day/night.
