Really nice simple Yak-38, great visual fidelity for such a low part count. Flies like a dream, VTOL is super easy and fun to use. Armament is a little curious, smaller dumb bombs and/or perhaps Air to Air Missiles may have worked better, but overall this is a very pleasant build.
This sounds very similar to how the advanced propulsion systems on some UFO's function, really interesting read. May have to consider remembering this for, uhh... lore reasons. Yeah, that.
I'm curious as to what actually caused the crash here, like what fundamental part of the game was pushed far beyond its limits via this funkytrees gyroscope?
The funny thing is, Germany made some of the most batshit plane designs during WWII, so much so that I thought this was one of them and not a fictional aircraft at first. Very well done.
@Samair I make it in a small scale first, and then scale it back up to the size it's supposed to be. It's a lot of trial and error, making things while it's small, and then scaling it up to the appropriate size to see if it still works and functions properly. Also it's ideal to remove drag calculations and set the drag scale to 0 on all parts with these enormous creations, so that the game doesn't just crash immediately upon loading in the creation.
@Chaosblackdragon21 hey man idk if you even check this site or do much here anymore, but I've been getting more active recently and I might think about making more RainWorld stuff. I've actually been working on a Void Worm for about a couple days now, so maybe if i ever do more RainWorld stuff I'll make a vulture, which could be fun
@LucadaConcord1128 well it's only 303 parts, and its performance cost isn't very high either, so I'd say that's normal for a mobile device to run it smoothly
@BagelPlane I have done this before though, with this plane even if I use structural wings and set them to have control surfaces, the wings still flap around and cause the aircraft to jitter. There's seemingly no way to surpass this limit.
@Dracul0Anderson so basically, I used structural wings, and edited their overload to give them control surfaces. I then gave them 0.1 mass, also using overload, so they wouldn't sag too much. It also helps a lot to make sure every attachment point on the wing is attached to something, to ensure no part of the wing is loose. The actual wing parts themselves are rather big, but again, using overload, I scaled them down to be smaller. This edits their physical and visual size, but it does not affect the amount of lift they produce, meaning they produce a lot of life still, despite being about the same size as the default primary wing.
I agree with Trainzo, I've never seen this anywhere else on SP. I've actually never even heard of this at all, so I'd say this is one of the first, if not the very first representation of it in SimplePlanes. Or any flight game, for that matter.
Alas I am a simple man, I see huge flying wing, I upvote.
Parts definitely do heal. Also fun thing you can try, give a gun negative damage and keep another gun at normal damage, aim them both at a fuselage block, with set activation groups so they don't fire simultaneously. If you turn on show damage, you'll see that the negative damage gun turns parts blue instead of red!
@Pnut well to be fair I don't either, I don't think it would be a funky trees thing though. I was thinking it might be an overload thing, but it likely isn't.
@Pnut well that's the thing, I need the projectiles to not last very long, only like five seconds. And I need them to not explode upon disappearing.
The only reason I need it to behave like this is that I'm making something that uses lots of game particles, and since explosions from cannon rounds and the tracers of the cannon rounds create a lot of particles, some of the particles I need to have get deleted when I fire the cannon parts, which I don't want happening.
@SPairforce well to be fair, SimplePlanes is not exactly the most accurate representation of how planes irl fly. Plus, if you wanted to make a consistent, somewhat coherent comparison between the two in SimplePlanes, you'd need to have many more rounds than this, the player should fly both aircrafts too, in order to mitigate the advantage the player has over an Ai, and thereby a false representation of info due to the player flying only one of the two being compared. Am I taking this too seriously? Yes.
@Speedhunter oh nice, must be a Samsung or pixel phone then, right? I'm sure it would be fine as long as you connected it to SP or atleast gave it the off topic tag
@TheAviator77 'Ery Noice! Sometimes I'll do astrophotography with what little setup I have, other days I'll just be outside with my monocular to do stargazing. It's very nurturing to me.
I actually noticed this a few years ago! My astronomy nerd side always loves to see if the night sky in games is real, although it'd be nice if you could see things like the Orion Nebula and the Andromeda galaxy in more videogame night skies, because they are visible to the naked eye and are usually just a star in videogame night skies.
I know where Cassiopeia is, so I wanna be able to see the andromeda galaxy!
I swear bro I don't get how you don't have more points than you do, your build quality is just absolutely beautiful. I was not aware that KLM flies or has flown Citations!
It's impossible to pick a single favorite, but to list a lot that I love...

And that's just the airforce stuff! I have lots of favorite commercial aircraft's, helicopters, civilian planes, so much. Just an unhealthy amount of favorites. I need help.

+1This is pretty awesome! Love the way you did the aiming for the nose cannon, fun to use. Flies nicely too.
+2One time I was trying to dance with my sister, I was like four and she was two and I dropped her and she wouldn't stop crying for like an hour lmao
why I still remember this despite it being literally almost two decades ago is beyond me.
@overlord5453 as a member of both the SimplePlanes and TitanFall 2 community, I am all too familiar with this.

This is SICK!!
@winterro this is genius!
@L1nus Bro we are already there, I give it like five years maximum
Atleast this one actually functions and is decently useable, unlike the real one

Didn't know you were still active, love me some well written lore
pretty nice skyhawk

this is awesome
Jundroo's getting better with their parody videos I see

Not bad cinematics, pretty cool! The aircraft is gorgeous.

brain is scrampled eg
Ngl I have no idea what I'm looking at but it looks pretty neat
