@HuskyDynamics01 from the “good news and bad news” post
We're still considering what the initial price will be, most likely it will be $20 or $25 with a 10% launch discount and that price will go up when we exit Early Access. At this point we don't expect to delay the mobile release, but it's certainly possible it will slip to 2027.
It probably won’t go up by much but there’s certainly a possibility
If you buy on steam you can refund if you play for under 2 hours. Also the price is supposedly going to get higher over time so keep that in mind if you plan to wait.
They all kinda suck. I use Postimages which has good functionality but apparently people in some countries can’t see that.
Best strategy is to find a service that gives you a free website (Universe works well) and upload your images to there.
Gravatar is too janky, I have no idea how people do it.
@Graingy that’s really stupid. It happening with 2 SSDs is really surprising to me though honestly.
Good luck.
Arch is a version of Linux that is heavily memed on.
@Graingy oh dang that adds up fast.
If you save that up you would have either a healthy fund to pay a repair shop or by the time this computer starts to get slow a brand new one. Seems to have come in clutch here though.
@Graingy I find your lack of self-confidence…
Disturbing.
Anyway you could try and fix it yourself, or overpay some dood at a computer shop to fix it, the choice is yours but it ain’t a catastrophic error. Or you could mail it to me. I wouldn’t complain 🤪
@Graingy you can still check the BIOS tho, my guess is your bootloader is working but the OS partition is corrupted. It’s worth checking since it’s free and the BIOS should at the very least tell you what’s going on. The Linux thing would not be super hard, just download a Lubuntu ISO, use Rufus to put it on a USB drive, stick the USB drive in, then spam your BIOS key to get open the spot where you can change the boot order. From there it will boot into a working windows-like OS, and at the very least you can try and recover some files and upload them to Google Drive or something. Sounds hard, I promise it’s not. Doing more complicated stuff like seeing if the drive is broken is a bit more tricky but not too bad. Trust me, I didn’t know how to do this stuff six months ago and now I daily drive Linux.
@Graingy the BIOS loads before the operating system (whatever’s on the drive).
Basically when the computer is trying to start, spam the hotkey to open your BIOS (depends on manufacturer, you can Google it) and then poke around in that menu to see if you can find your drive (again, you can Google this). If you can’t get into the BIOS your computer is cooked. If you can it’s just a drive issue (I would be shocked if you couldn’t get into the BIOS)
Alternatively use Rufus and a thumb drive on another computer and you can boot the computer from that thumb drive to use Linux to diagnose the issue (again Google this, it’s pretty straightforward just Google “boot Linux from thumb drive” or something like that)
@V spot on advice, I will say going into the BIOS and checking if the drive shows up is a good first step before opening up the case.
Heck, your estimate of cost might be high, you can get a 1TB MP44L for $50 which is a very good drive.
I believe that the rules only state that a plane will be removed if the thumbnail is misleading, so there’s not really any precedent. If it doesn’t show any fine details or colors guess that black-and-white images taken from a distance aren’t allowed. The only think I can think of is I vaguely remember a mod saying it did have to be a game screenshot and not a blender render but crazyplanes should have said that and not made it up retroactively after being told it was just a filter.
Mousepads are dirt cheap, high end ones from Kinetic Labs (pretty much the best soft pad money can buy) are like $30. If that’s out of range Razer makes decent ones for like $10. It also looks like you could stand a new mouse to go with it, maybe snag something like this
And yes, even for non gaming this stuff makes a huge difference. Heck with that Razer mouse you probably won’t need a mousepad, its optical sensor is pretty dang nice.
Also what software are you going to need to run for this degree? Wondering if this device is enough.
@Croozier Menu bar>airplanes>search lets you search everything on the site. It’s lowkey not the best and it’s kind of hidden away which is dumb but it can help you find stuff more quickly than making forum posts. Also the useful links forum post is pretty sweet.
@Graingy no you’re thinking of “Song 3” by Stone Sour
Just remember “Song 2” by Blur is their most popular
+1@V idk man, I just found it through Andrew’s bug report posts. If it wasn’t supposed to be shared they should have hidden it a smidge better

It only has ads when you are logged out. That said, it has quite a lot of said ads which are very intrusive imo
@Graingy might be a bit overblown, this was the one thing I found that said it was actually an issue
@Graingy maybe. Apparently Windows had an update lately that was bricking people’s PCs so maybe that happened too

Computers = pain (I use Arch btw, pretty much a cult at this point)

@Graingy oh it’s one of those “pay 10 bucks extra and we’ll fix your computer things”
@Graingy if its covered under warranty how does it cost money?
@Graingy yo that’s actually the move

I HAVE CREATED AN UPDATED VERSION OF THIS GUIDE! CLICK THIS BLUE TEXT TO SEE IT
sorry for yelling, just wanted to get people's attention. Should account for most things that don't work in this old guide
nice screenshots m8

@Jacobdaniel aight that year was a good length for that moment of silence

other random people?
@Mrcooldude he had the name before me but I didn’t know that when I made mine, total coincidence lol

Don’t try steering a submarine with it
Try using the search feature, there are respurces out there
@Graingy oh yeah I didn’t realize there was one called SP Gang dangit
