Honestly, the AI in SimplePlanes is absolutely terrible. At times yes, it does work nicely, but most of the time, it seems to fail at even the simplest of tasks. Also, if @AndrewGarrsion is reading this right now, I have some suggestions for the AI:
There should be the ability to set the AI's "brain" to certain vehicles, for instance, setting it to GA (General Aviation) would tell the AI to fly calmly, and smoothly, so that if you're spawning in a Cessna 172, it doesn't try to do crazy stuntplane manuevers. This would go for other things too, setting it to Cargo Plane or Passenger Jet would make it go easy on the controls and fly carefully, setting it to Fighter Aircraft would make it fly vigorously and aggressively, setting it to Car would give it Car controls, via Pitch and Roll, so that if you spawn in a car, it doesn't act like a plane and launch itself off the runway. I feel like this would be a very nice addition to the game, as it would improve the AI's performance significantly, and it would make it more fun to screw around in the game in general.
Unless you haven't read the rules before, you should know that it's not ok to take someone else's creation and post it as your own. This is Sauce's F-22 Raptor, not your creation. Unless there's any significant changes, or tweaks made to the aircraft, this post may be removed.
It's called the "Thud" because that's the sound a convoy truck makes when it hits the ground after being launched a few kilometers into the air after being obliterated by six 500lb bombs at once. Or you know, something like that.
Clouds in general in SimplePlanes are terrible, like I'll be trillions of miles in the air, (basically space) and there'll still be clouds, and a sunny sky above. I also kinda wish there was actual rain and lightning, it'd be cool if the lightning could strike your aircraft too, and maybe disable a few things, like your engine or something in doing so, idk. The waves idea probably isn't possible, due to how the game engine works, but people have proved me wrong before. Maybe someday in a future update, but for now, I guess we just have to play with what we got.
1 - As ironic as it is, I discovered SimplePlanes by watching the infamous youtuber we all know as Jelly. I saw his SimplePlanes videos, and instantly fell in love with the game!
2 - I'm playing it for all three reasons listed!
3 - I'm best with fictional creations, simply because it allows you to really express your creativity, instead of being limited with what you can create if it's a replica. Sure, replicas in this game are nice, since most flight simulators aren't exactly going to let you fly a Focke-Wulf Triebflugel, am I right? But if you want to make a flying hotdog, go ahead! How about a space ship? Sure! Fictional creations are also very good to do backstories with, and let your creativity flow.
4 - I can't decide: Times were simpler in SimplePlanes when it was newer, nobody knew what they were doing, and we were all just trying to have fun, build weird creations, and just see what we could do with what we had! But now, the stakes are so much higher in the community now, considering how many users like BoganBoganTheMan, BogdanX, Dllama, and other users are so good at the game, it's almost impossible to get your creations recognized and played with when your're new. Take it from me, my first few creations only got a few downloads, no comments or upvotes, I thought it was great, but I still felt that I deserved more for my "hard work" (I'm putting quotes because they literally only took like, five minutes to create, lol) Sure, it's harder to get recognized, but because of those amazing users, and all the new stuff we have in 1.8, we can do so much more, and screw around all we want without losing too much interest, because there's always something new to be flown, driven, sailed, fired, completely de-materialized, anything you want!
5 - There really isn't too much history behind my username, other than that in my bio, it says that I want to create awesome creations, hence my name. That's really it, and I know it sounds cringey as hell, but I can't exactly change it to something better though, so I guess I just have to live with it.
If you managed to read all of that, congratulations! You've officially wasted about 3 minutes, and 47 seconds of your life reading someone else's comment! You've earned an Achievement! - "Comment Conqueror"
Ok I'm done now
@AndrewGarrison Wow, hearing this from a Dev is amazing! You guys really outdid yourself with 1.8! I especially love the new USS Beast, those elevators are too cool! It's also especially fun to launch a huge cargo plane with the catapult too, lol.
Come, visit Australia! We have spiders the size of dinner plates that can kill you in a few minutes, we have nope-ropes that can swallow a crocodile whole, there's these really bouncy deer that'll kick you in the face, and are professional kick boxers too! We have many different assortments of things, ranging from "No thanks, I'm good" all the way to "F•CK DIS SHIT, I'M OUT" and even the rare, "Ooh, that was a spicy one!" And the best part is, we're all upside down, which makes everything even more fun! There's wildfires that can burn down entire cities, cough cough Sydney cough cough. Oh, but don't worry! Those wildfires will be put out by the torrential rain showers we get, but you see? I pulled a sneaky on you! Said rain showers will soon flood the streets and cause even more damage than there had to be. We all love it here in Australia, come join us!
Me, sees that JamesPLANESii's AN-2 is almost finished Me - "Yay, I can't wait to fly it!" Plane - is over 1,800 parts. JamesPLANESii - "I pulled a Sneaky on ya."
Omg, this looks so cool! I love how everything moves and works, it's so amazing how you've done this. I like how you made it fly too, that kinda gives it the SimplePlanes "Stamp of Approval".
@ForeverPie actually, I heard that they've been working on 1.8 for a while now, they just couldn't get it done because of SR2, now they're working on it and they said that it should be done a little after 2019, so stay alert!
This is so beautiful, it burnt off my corneas. Sorry, that was a really corny joke. God, I corn't believe I'm still commenting on this, it must be pretty cornmenting to read, ain't it? I should probably leave, I might get scorned by the moderators. Goodness, I just can't corntain these corn puns, there's too many! Pretty soon, I'll have to sign a corntract to have permission in making these puns. I mean, making these puns isn't very cornplicated, the hard part is not cringing to death while creating them. If you don't feel very cornfortable around people who make bad jokes, I suggest that you leave. Wait, with this many puns, can I be cornvicted of a crime? Hopefully my lawyer will be cornpetent enough to defend my case. Maybe the fact that I'm an Americorn will be enough of a reason to let me go. Ok, this is getting corncerning, even I didn't know I had this many puns! I wonder how many more I have? Good God, this has been a weird cornversation. Wait a minute, what's this?! I've... I've ran out of puns! Huh, I guess that the only cornclusion that I can come to is to not... wait a minute! I made another pun! I knew I still had the cornfidence to come up with more! Dang, I should seriously join a corntest of who can come up with the most puns! I mean, most of these puns cornsist mainly of the word "corn", maybe I can come up with a few more! Ooh, I got one! It's truly amaizing that I can think of so many of these! I feel like most of these are kinda impracticoble, but they might come into good use someday. Just think about all of the remarcoble possibilities these puns could have! I could get a job as a stand up cornmedian! In fact, here's one for an example! "What is a corncob's favorite breed of dog?" "A Husky!" Yeah, that was terrible. Or, I could be just the most despicoble person alive, although I kinda already am. To be perfectly honest, I don't really see any good raisin why I should be typing this comment. Wait, hold on, that was a raisin pun. Well, whatever kind of pun it is, I hope you find it apeeling to your sense of humor. God dangit, was that a banana pun?! This is really getting out of hand, I've been pumping out these puns so cornsistantly, and now I don't know what to do about them. Aww, shucks, what should I do with all these?
@randomusername Drill boi excels in the spinning attack, Cow boi is a specialized ranged fighter with his pistol, Swing boi is the one watching the fight from a distance, and Cool boi is the one who walks away from the inevitable explosion that will eventually be caused by Swing boi, somehow.
I'm surprised that the only thing that got damaged was the wing, you'd think a landing like that would just tear the nose and/or the cargo bay in half!
You can upload three planes per day, so you have to wait 24hrs later to upload again. It's so that people aren't allowed to spam posts and cloud up the website.
@Mattangi2 it's cool how we, as SimplePlanes users, have been given a finite amount of tools and things to use to make our creations the best we can, yet we simply ignore that fact and use things in a way that was never meant to be used in the way it is, and that is what makes it so unique. Keep coming up with clever ideas like this, and you'll be gold, or maybe even platinum in no time!
