    Very cool build. Functionality is very fun.

    @Tessemi ReShade, yes. You just install it to the same folder as SimplePlanes.exe, choosing OpenGL when it asks. You should see a folder called reshade-shaders and SweetFX in the same directory as SimplePlanes.exe, along with some new files. Any custom shaders go in reshade-shaders/Shaders. That's it.

    @TheFantasticTyphoon Interesting. Although I'd call it a "speed trigger" or something like that.

    @SledDriver I think this is a good example of the speed limiter in a functional build.

    @TheFantasticTyphoon Hmm, maybe (thanks for the compliment). I'll look into it. And no, I don't know about the speed limiter.

    @PositivePlanes that should be plane for all to see.

    Also, have you seen the new speed limiter XML variable?

    If you don't mind me asking, seeing as your builds are always so good could you try to build a player-operated replica of the Brown Pearl?
    If you have the time that is.

    Pretty good, I’m bouncing between projects that are at various stages. Ones an airliner, ones a STOL float plane, and then a bunch more. I don’t have enough motivation to stay on a project more than a few hours lol @SledDriver

    @FairFireFight I actually kept the part count low on this one. If I doubled it, it would be a lot smoother.

    @TheFantasticTyphoon I assure you I have done nothing wrong for I did give credit, but as a second I am an IOS user and am unable to use scripting and/or mods towards absolutely copying SD’s scripting which he took down so no one else could use
