("Major" bug?) propeller engine prop sizes broken....

16.4k ThePrototype  5.7 years ago

So I was messing around with the new update and decided to build a prop plane.... literally the smallest prop diameter now is 196 if you are using the slider..... NOTE: once you change the prop size from its default, 196 inches is the new lowest diameter. This is extremely frustrating cause I don't want my planes having absolutely massive propellers.....

FOR EXAMPLE: my plane already has an 80 inch prop, I want to change it.... well as soon as I do and I try and turn it back to minimum, the new minimum is 196 inches.... help?

    @ThePrototype I've not yet been able to reproduce this. Can you do me a favor and go through these steps and see if it happens?

    1. Download: Gator 2 and load it in the designer.
    2. Click on the main blades, and adjust diamer to max.
    3. Click on the tail blades, and adjust diameter to min.
    4. Drag out a Blade T1000 (not connected to anything) and adjust to min
    5. Select main helicopter blades, and adjust to min
    6. Select T1000 and adjust to max.
    7. Drag out a Blade T2000 (connect somewhere on heli) and adjust to max
    8. Select main heli blades, adjust to
    9. Select T2000 and adjust to min.

    After doing all this, I'm still not seeing the issue. I'm assuming there is a problem, I'm just doing something differently and therefore it isn't showing up. If the problem does occur for you, which step? If you don't get any problems following these steps, could you give me similar steps to reproduce the error starting from an uploaded design?

    I really appreciate the help, thanks!

    Version 1.8.3.1 is what it says, and yes I'm on IOS @PhilipTarpley

    @ThePrototype Can you verify which version you are using? You can find it from the first menu screen (with SimplePlanes log) under the "About" section. And, are you playing on iOS?

    Yeah it does happen every time this bug does.... not sure why though. I just tried it again like I described.

    1. Change diameter of a tail rotor or another helicopter piece
    2. Then do the same to a normal piston engine blade's diameter and it should glitch out....

    I think I figured out why this happens. If you mess with the blade diamater on the new helicopter parts then do the same to the normal piston engine it glitches out.... but I could be wrong... (Sorry for the late reply) @PhilipTarpley

    Yes, one moment @PhilipTarpley

    @ThePrototype I have not been able to reproduce this. Does it happen every time...does it happen even with a new prop engine that you pull out? Can you upload a design where it consistently occurs?

    @ThePrototype I will look into it...it is certainly not intentional for them to work that way.

    @PhilipTarpley Was this intentional?
