Thanks again, @Mordex
Deadly machine...
@SledDriver Fair point!
@KSPFSXandSP I know, but I like the metallic look. It's very easy to apply your own paint scheme, so you can always do that if you like.
@SledDriver Seriously, colourful builds look amazing!
Glad you like it, @KSPFSXandSP
Love the colour scheme!
@SledDriver okay I'll try that.
@SledDriver makes a little sense now, well i gotta go to school, have fun!
@FGW2014 Understanding is only a couple of Google searches away :) OBS Studio is a screen recording program, which gives you a video that you can upload to Youtube etc. as is. VirtualDub is a video editing program that lets you trim, crop, and resize the video, and so on, and export it as a GIF. That's all.
@SledDriver a bunch of gibberish to me, but ok :)
@PhantomBladeCorp Minor point, it's not the aircraft that are script-generated, just the primitive shapes (tapered sections, cylindrical sections, etc.). The aircraft themselves are designed by me and put together by hand. If I could write a script to come up with the entire aircraft designs that I make, I'd be a shoo-in for a Nobel Prize in AI.
But either way, it's a bit like asking someone who's automated the assembly line in a car factory to build a car entirely with his hands, including carving each part from blocks of metal by hand. It doesn't make sense (to me).
To put it another way, it takes more skill to write the scripts to generate these shapes, than to put an entire aircraft together by hand single piece by single piece -- which is more a matter of painstaking but mindless effort. I respect effort, but I respect creativity and skill more.
@SledDriver I know you can build one. I'm pretty sure you got the skill for it so why don't you give it a try? Doesn't hurt at all and it would be something new from you, something else other than script-generated super smooth aircraft.
@PhantomBladeCorp Well, I know you love replicas and also build great replicas and I respect that, but they just don't interest me. Different folks, etc.
Dude, make a proper Schwalbe...
@PlaneBuild0512 That is pretty weird. Never happened to me though, but then I'm on a PC, so that might be a factor. I'd recommend saving a new version regularly when you're working on a build. I regularly go through five or six versions before getting to the finished build.
@MisterMitchell Yeah, this build was just crying out for some color :)
@FGW2014 I record it using OBS Studio, then edit and convert it to a GIF using VirtualDub.
@Davisplanez It doesn't say anywhere that you have to fly at full throttle :) Throttle down to around 50%, select high agility mode, trim up so you're flying level, line up, then fire away.
Thanks, @ACMECo1940
@sxy Nope, far from my first. Black and gold has been a recurring theme in my builds.
@RMark1 Hmm, wonder what's going on there. Other people have also complained that they can't see my builds in their Jetstream (paging Dr @AndrewGarrison). Thanks though, glad you like it.
cool
it's your first colorful plane,right?it's black and yellow. : )
it's awesome, but i stink at getting a hit at 1,300 mph.
