@BeastHunter nah I'm using w3m, supposedly it's a lot faster and the interface is just arrow keys/tab key and enter in place of using your mouse.
Stuff like lynx might be able to actually leave comments and upvotes though, I might have to try it
@PlaneFlightX yeah it's fun to mess around with, it's pointless to use terminal for browsing when you can literally alt-tab into a browser but I kind of enjoy finding obscure ways of doing normal things and their limitations.
I'm hoping to be able to create YouTube content for the game (once the nda expires of course). Would be an awesome way to help build hype (plus it would be super fun)
Yeah that link that @Nyamomin gave should be up to date and have the basic information you need to get started. One big tip I have is to use prefabricated stuff, for instance the building on my photography map was a free pre textured 3D model.
@CKKI I’ve never ridden in it, but it is super cool. Here’s a picture of it in action, just for reference this is my uncle driving it about 30 years ago and my grandpa still takes it out on the trails every once in a while. I think this is a film photo as well, which is kinda sick.
@SupremeDorian oh dear. Sounds like a hideous burden. Fortunately I will help so that you aren’t so miserable. I know it’s going to suck, but I feel it is my duty to play the game to help with the grueling process of making sure it’s fun.

In all seriousness, guys chill you’re not helping by telling someone who has made one post in their entire life to “cry about it iPad kid”. The immaturity in these comments is wild. I know at least one of you is a grown adult.
On iOS you can’t because the file format for mods is against Apple’s terms of service as they would be running unsigned code. On Android they rely on libraries that are only available for 32-bit formats but Android requires 64-bit compatibility. So in short mod support used to be a thing in mobile but no longer is. For that you need a PC.
THIS IS NOT a stupid question, the game doesn’t really explain that mod support isn’t available and it might not be easily searchable.
@TheFlightGuySP Ok if you're getting 130 then mine isn't too bad then lol
My guess would be old netcode and old server software with a newish game so yeh lack of refinement.
Thank you, means my ping will be good. Trying it out now.
edit: 146 ping could be better but I'll take it. Prolly an issue on my end being a thousand miles away lol
I mean, if they're planning to make a build for VR platforms, they might as well, right? There's no reason they can't do it as long as the porting process is pretty straightforward they might as well shoot for the biggest possible audience.

and some basic photography principles such as composition are both pretty huge. The images are bugged on that second link but you should still be able to get the gist.
@UnitedinOne90 it can if there's an error such as not being able to embed the video, since it starts trying to publish as soon as you click the button so if it fails instead of just sending an error message like it would if it failed to upload a plane or something it just doesn't actually publish the video publicly. This could probably happen with forums, but you'd probably have to pull some serious shenanigans like uploading right before the servers go offline or something.
That's not a forum, that's just a video post that isn't set up correctly. Sometimes if you try to upload a video it makes it unlisted first, I don't remember exactly how this works.
Dang bro, I remember when you were a bronze rank yapping about some creepypasta and nobody really knew what to do with it. Here we are, both platinum except you have almost double my points. Congratulations on the journey
You know what would be cool?
A contest to get to be one of the stock vehicles in the game. People could build their best possible aircraft, and the winners could be ported into SP2 as the defaults (think Pigpen, Kicking Fish, Etc.) It's kind of a win-win as the community gets fun and engagement, and Jundroo gets hype for the upcoming game as well as free content to put in said upcoming game.

@Boeing727200F even if you download it on another places wifi the Virtual Power Nugget doesn't work? Like if you use your phone hotspot to install it onto your device?
@Theinfinite that's the problem right there. The game isn't smart enough to just recognize 3D models as things that the game can use, if that was the case you wouldn't need a computer to mod SP in the first place. Here's a video I made that shows you how to make a mod map, I understand that's not what you're trying to do but this should give you a rough idea of the process that's required. https://www.simpleplanes.com/Videos/View/1918683/SimplePlanes-modding-tutorial

dang bro I really got fooled by this authentic and meaningful post.
@Someguywhomakesmods idk that's between you and your filesystem, I really can't help with that. Try searching, looking for it in other places

@Someguywhomakesmods mod tools are at this link, for some reason that's a direct download link so when you click on it the files will just download
@Someguywhomakesmods I really don't want to have to get Unity all set up and everything, I'll give you help and advice if needed though.

@Theinfinite wait so you're saying you downloaded a 3d file and then just changed the extension to .spmod and .spinfo?
@Theinfinite what do you mean it doesn't upload? You're going to have to be a bit more specific.
@Theinfinite Ok, explain why it's not working and I'll see if I can help.
it could drive six years ago in some states
Looks really nice. My 3D printer unfortunately broke :(
