As someone who has made many VR cockpits, it isn’t that hard. You don’t have to disable collisions (unless it’s a moving part like a joystick). If the place where your cockpit is is complicated, build it outside where it will be, and use fine tuner to put it in. Curated means you have complete control over the aircraft using only the controls in the cockpit, and allows people to use it in VR.
I know almost nothing about Funky Trees so don’t take my word for it but I think it’s possible that FireWeapons is an input (equals 1 when you are pressing the button), or it could be that you want FireGuns.
However, it is likely that I could be completely wrong since I’ve never used funky trees.
Nice plane! One suggestion would be to have your first screen shot to be of the entire plane, as that would let people know what the build was at first glance.
Nice glider with tow plane! One suggestion though is don’t use the mirror tool when you have a custom cockpit, as it will affect the cockpit, potentially ruining it. Use the mirror part tool instead. (Found in the rotations part of the designer, has a tail with a wing)
I believe it is because many people are uploading their creations at once, but the site can’t handle so many uploads at one time, so none of them are being published.
@AEROSPACE1128 Oh, well you’ve gained some notoriety, and you got on highest rated. You also got enough points to make it to silver, which normally takes some effort. It probably got removed because you were getting so many points with no effort, idk why you kept your points though.
@idkwhatosay It’s okay since you are new and probably don’t know this, but don’t advertise your stuff in the comments unless it was requested (i.e. if someone asks for VTOL builds, then it would be okay for you to give them the link to a VTOL build you made)
@Mousewithamachinegun123 The way I do mine is to use the move tool (in the blueprint menu) to put the screenshot above the build, I then unselect the tool and carefully drag up (to not change perspective at all) until It is lined up
Nice job with the tank! Two suggestions are to change the name to just steel dawn and make the first screenshot one of the entire build, as it would give people more of an idea on what the build actually was (I originally thought it was a destroyer), and also list the controls and all of the activation groups in the description.
Walv!s makes a good tutorial on this

If this is trying to do something following ¡UPLOAD TEST!, it won’t work. I only did that because it was a genuine test as far as we know, not trying to get any upvotes. For me, this was a one-off thing, and it will likely be that way for a lot of people.
If you want to get to silver, focus on making good content.
Note: if this was a genuine test, sorry for the misunderstanding and forget this comment, except the part about good content.
@Catdog613 If you want to make a vtol plane check out this tutorial (it’s what I used to figure out how to make this)
https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/Fcdc5u/VTOL-Tutorial-for-Beginners#google_vignette
You are welcome to repaint and repost as long as there is an auto-credit (as long as you don’t do anything weird like transfer it to another build it should appear). Also, if you make any changes that are not 100% visual (adding or changing a part in ways other than paint), make sure that the Center of Thrust lines up vertically with the Center of Mass, and test it once you are done.
If you have any questions in making/modifying a vtol plane that the tutorial didn’t answer, reply to me
I only stumbled upon this by pure chance, so you’re lucky that I got to this. It does seem pretty cool, and I’ll upvote it when you re-upload. I also participated in this challenge. PS: delete this post once you successfully re-upload with the auto-credit
This is not a successor of the challenge, so it can’t be judged. In order to make it a successor, copy your entire plane (except your sleek cockpit part) into a subassembly. From there download https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/qFB5R3/Alternate-energy-challange
even though it is just a cockpit. Change out the cockpit if you wish and remove the blocks. Then, put your subassembly into that build space, and add the cockpit to your subassembly/plane. Finally, upload it. You will know if you did it right if you see an auto credit for the challenge. Reply to this is you have any questions or if it doesn’t work.
I just realized that I forgot to remove the fuel from the wings, but I don’t use it at all. Do you want me to re-upload it anyway? (If you want proof it doesn’t use fuel remove all of it in the primary wings)
@WisconsinStatePolice Arkansas exists, but not on Earth
+1Water moment
+2@Mousewithamachinegun123 Yes, and if they think it satisfies the requirements, they will curate it
Cockpit looks good!
+1@Mousewithamachinegun123 just do the VR tag, and that’s it.
+1Happy leap year awareness day!
+1Annoy the deceased
Build something you haven’t built before, like a boat, car, biplane, stealth bomber, etc.
+1@Mousewithamachinegun123 oh yeah, make sure to give it the VR tag or it can’t get curated
@Mousewithamachinegun123 I also like to give them button to cycle targeting mode, next weapon, and next target if the plane has weapons.
+1Make sure to give basic flight controls, gear, and all activation groups, plus anything else

+1@Mousewithamachinegun123 Thanks! I’ll try it out
+1@Mousewithamachinegun123 Is there a prize for most upvoted?
+1@Tortoise500000 one tip would be to add tags, especially the VR tag so it can get curated (allows people to use it when playing with a VR headset)
Both this and the Marader are really good!

@WinsWings Thanks! I just added a history, in case you arrived too early to read it.

@WinsWings Can I do some kind of futuristic seaplane?
+1Beeg

Talk about perfect upload timing

@ZerkkZxe ok thanks. What was his name again?
+1Seriously, please don’t upvote this, upvote D point, as that’s where the idea and all the work came from, I just changed the letter.
Just shows how lenient the game is on what should be able to fly

@Scrabble5555 Can I make one with a single missile? Thinking of making a stinger
+1@Graingy in thickness or length?
@GrandPrix sorry if this is to late, but I didn’t see a deadline

@Droopy I have a submission
https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/tB6ms9/Dragonfly
Nice job! You should add the VR tag though so it can get curated
+1Very nice! Love the cockpit. One suggestion though, make it less maneuverable, as it is hard to control.
You will need to do this for every challenge, not just this one
@FLOWyz Being a successor is required. To do this, I gave you instructions. Go to your post to see it
P.P.S while you are at it, remove the fuel in the primary wings.
