This comment has no further use except make that comment button work from up high. Also as an update board.
I just learned how to update an aircraft XML, if there are any issues or things that can be improved upon within reason, let me know.
Don't radials usually have an uneven number of cylinders per row for timing?
Yep, it very much should, but I still haven't found a way to make a radial with odd amount of cylinders without using the same amount of parts outside of labels.
I really appreciate the attention to the livery detail, but the flight model is quite confusing for me. The rudder especially, moves so slowly that it's almost impossible to control the plane on takeoff and landing. The elevators and ailerons also take their sweet time, which leads to the plane being a "whale". Also I'm really missing that nice A330 gear tilt and suspension. Last thing from me would be the spoilerons, it takes less than a minute to code them. Actual last thing, you've got one extra flap canoe on those outboards. There's a couple more but I don't want to be a bore. Those were just some tips for you because I see you are trying to be realistic!
I dunno man, these are last year's problems now.🤣
But in seriousness though, I'm in for constructive critiques, I mean its one of the more effective ways one could reflect upon to further improve their builds, I am glad you brought up spoilerons to light, I didn't know they even existed, or if they're even universal to all aircraft, I'll code them in on the next opportunity if time allows, not exactly the type of person to cook up the perfect FT code by a finger's snap, but I'll get there eventually.
Now about the fairings, I promise they were meant to come off, and totally not hinting as to what's the next aircraft I'll work on.😅
What a masterpiece! How long does it take you to sort out engines on your builds to get the right sound, speed, power etc?
Tuning the engines didn't take much time, the two goals per se when tuning an engine thrust is that A) Takes off realistically, and B) Can reach Wikipedia Top Speed. There's more checks to check if the engine is realisticallishly tuned, but if A, and B are good, the rest generally checks out.
Sound-wise, it used to be easy. I discovered some years ago I think on my DC-8-32 Eastern project that sounds of the Blasto BFE150, and Blasto BFE300 creates a fuller sound, in essence BFE300 acts as treble for the high pitched sounds, and the BFE150 acts as bass, to simulate the sound of massive mass of air being pushed.
Sound-tuning got more in-depth when I posted my DC-8-32 Eastern Airlines to account for engine idling. Doesn't take long I feel, sound tuning was more or less eye-balled一 ear-balled if you will, whatever sounded the most sense for the given engine.
Absolutely terrific I love how many features
you can pack into your builds without getting
ludicrous with part count! Is the China flag
supposed to be reversed on the stbd side? I
only noticed as I’m trying to finalise a civil
build myself with livery and wanted to see
how the experts manage!
From the reference images, and first hand witness such as I, the Flag of China is indeed mirrored on starboard side of an Air China livery. At least, that is how I recollect it.
6th photo in your gallery, what settings did
you use to make that? Would love to know
I used a reshade program, the tutorial is in this link
There's also a setting in the Game Quality settings that I turn on for screenshots; its the Aircraft Reflection, set it to Realtime but be warned, it may lag the game.
Augusta81 Lol some of them would take 10 seconds to fix.
I love your suggestions, and your dedication to build industrial grade planes for Simpleplanes, but Augusta is right. A majority of these are way too ambitious in the time restricted and time crunching time frame I was in even if it takes 10 seconds to add, because remember; I had to work on this Boeing 747-8i Transaero, Boeing 787-9 Air China, Washington & B.C, This Teaser Video, and everything else that was going on outside Simpleplanes all in the month of December and the fortnight leading up to it. Which is reaalllyy not easy to pull off.
Some of what you had said had considered adding days before Boxing day but otherwise dropped because there's not enough time; 2, 5, 8, 19
Others are unfair to be judged because of a typo, or the game's limitations, as it utilises default parts to save on part count sacrificing flexibility for stability: 21, 22, 26
1) Sounds a lot like NAV mode, when my only concern is to have the ability to manually control while in autopilot, and return to level flight after letting go of the yoke. 16) is a design choice I've stood by for two years, debuting in my Sud Aviation SE-210 Caravelle III Air France, it simplifies builds to a point that it is actually possible to whip up a wing assembly in two days, two days that would have became two months if I tried to do anything uber realistic, two months I never had at the time. 14) was present in my Boeing 727-200 NWO, no one noticed, omitted to the rest of my projects to save time since no one noticed it. 12, 15, 18) Would have required a set of landing gears that requires more than one rotator that will only work on MEDIUM or HIGH physics setting, settings I would avoid like the plague on the basis that not everyone can play in those settings. The current set of landing gears I have is good enough for the task they're entrusted to: to support the aircraft in any physics settings, and not bug out the game. I'll say it again; no to 12, 15, and 18, until Simpleplanes becomes optimised enough to support 12, 15, and 18 in low physics settings. 17, 19, 21) Calls for a FT coding that I do not yet possess the knowledge of. 20) Is a conscious decision to allow the plane to turn tightly, works best with AG3 on as it now steers like in Euro Truck Sim 2 as long as mouse control is enabled.
11) I've done before, looked weird, this sufficed 23) My only concern is to prohibit the plane from flying @ 90° pitch and gaining speed at the same time, any alterations I do makes the plane too slow or perform poorly at takeoff. 24) Its been calculated properly; 446,216lbs Loaded Weight - 268,317lbs Empty Weight = [177,899 lbs Fuel weight]. its 200 lbs more than displayed due to rounding numbers, otherwise, it weighs exactly as much as it should display. 9) Was supposed to be an easter egg to the actual 747 Transaero operates. 3) is an issue, I'll fix it right away
As for the GEnX-71B, its obviously a typo. What it meant to say was; GEnX-1B70 as it shares the same sub assembly as my 787-9 Air China to save time.
Not sure how nice you wanted this plane to be, but please understand that some users build planes not for the bourgeoise elite who can afford a beefy computer, but for the general masses to fly and experience. The ideas are good, but the executions in mobile could make the build falter.
UPDATE I: Alright, Take II! Some minor lawsuitable slogan issue has been
addressed and
rectified, Thank you for bringing that up kind person whom is @SyntheticL!
Cannot go wrong with 我愛中國 now as a slogan for a flag carrier that is Air
China which has excellent track record in safety and comfort.
天堂 heaven is rather rarely used in chinese since it somehow has the meanings on
the opposite (especially aviation).
Suggest remove the third image because it might stir up debate since in chinese it
might be understood as flying to death.
I guess your original english text was "Let us fly toward the heaven"?
Then let's hope my teacher won't see this. But in my defense, my Chinese is diminishing, the thumbnails were made in the late hours of the night and brainfarts are a common occurence, and from what I remember, 天 is something to do with sky or day, and 堂 is a hall or large room. Perhaps in my weary state, I've concluded 天 + 堂 = Air routes/ Vast sky.
I was thinking of using "我们帆在天" before giving up and used Google translate instead which got me the 天堂. Would it have been better to use 天 alone or will it always be synonymous with death in one way or another?
Its a steering system based in eurotruck 2 as in using the mouse to steer the plane by roll input. First premiered in my DC-8-32 Eastern to fine tune taxi procedures. The text below is directly ripped from the post.
` Activate3 = 0 ? Yaw : Roll `
It's nothing fancy but it can be very convenient for PC users who can only steer
hard right/ left. This way, the nose gear can be controlled by a mouse or trackpad
like in Eurotruck 2 by activating group 3, and right clicking to enable mouse
control, by using Roll as an input since roll's axis traverses left to right.
UPDATE I:
Congratulations to the winners to my mini challenge guessing as to how
many parts this plane took which was 609 parts! Prizes will be awarded
some time until Mid 2022
or earlier.
1st - 668 parts @EugeneDumDum

Alas, any aspiration to provide a mobile version of this expansive map ceased
after catching news that mobile mods, including maps, are no longer
supported for hand held devices.
UPDATE I: Due to low participation count, maximum amount of winners are dropped from 10 to 3, to amp up the stakes. It will return to 10 again once participation exceeds 20 entrees from different users. I apologise for short notice.
UPDATE II: Answers are allowed to be edited until 25th December, but still only limited to one answer.
Ah, I've experienced this one before I got into map-mod-making. What I did was delete the mod from the mod folder, and try to reinstall it again. And if it does not work, delete the mod file, and the Player.log file; restart the Mac, and reinstall the mod again.
Edit: Actually, copy the Player.log file in a word document for safe keeping, then delete the Player.log file.
No, it only happens with your maps. Also, with some of your planes on Mac, like your 757-200 and a340, if the planes starts sinking in the water, the plane be launched fast then the game will crash.
A340 issue: https://youtu.be/VTczUG-dkQ0
Boeing 757 issue: https://youtu.be/9T7CKyY6was
Regarding maps, by missing textures as you have said before, can you send a link to a screenshot, I may have might been able to replicate the issue. And as for the planes, textures seems to work fine on the A340, though I am seeing what you have described as a be launched fast then the game will crash.
A simple, easy, abnormally easy simple remedy against this is for you to remove the Vertical Speed Indicator in the display which can be found under the Disclaimer heading and following this abnormally large link.
And as for the 757-200, I believe it is someone else's work who happened to use the instrument displays I've built, which should also be fixed by the same procedure; since I have no recollection of building a DHL plane.
I'm lost for competence and words, I'm really sorry. My best guess is that Mac is purposefully inhibiting the use of non apple files? Because it is somehow missing access to the Google Cloud Storage? Probably not, and would be ridiculously petty of Apple if such the case. Is it happening to other mods you have downloaded as well or only from specific users?
How you put the comments section button on the description?
I've actually read about this somewhere though I forgot where it was first utilised by a player. In short it works something like this:
[](Destination Link)
- Image Link is straightforward, paste any image link in the space
- Destination Link I called it as such because this is where the user will end up to after clicking or tapping the image.
For it to lead to the comments section, a workaround I've seen used is to permalink a comment which can be done so by pressing on the button beside the Reply button and selecting "Permalink". After that, the link in the address bar, should change and have a '#comment-' and followed by a string of numbers. Copy that link and paste it on the Destination Link.
The 'Comment' Button is actually not part of the Simpleplanes website but rather a custom image, you can use any image you want as a comment button.
I hope this helps
@ren64
why do most of ur maps not work on Mac Jelybaca
Oh dear, I am sorry to hear that. As a person who never had Mac, I couldn't test my maps to function in excellence for Mac. Although can you describe the issue you are experiencing for me? Perhaps it could be a SimpleFix™.
This couldn't be a brabazon because the windows are circular, the brabazon has square windows
Darn, I gotta fox that
@asteroidbook345
it's weird it looks pointy and big for a viscount but it's the same shape
Excellent observation, the tail does resemble a Viscount
@SheriffHackdogMCPE
Where is your dc9 ur supposed to make? Is it also 1.11-compliant (With gauges)?
The rear mounted engine (R.M.E) plane is airworthy and really is ready for publication, but alas another project of mine has exceeded 800 parts, and I'm just waiting for the 1.11's new text block in hopes to make it mobile friendly so both could be published together once the big update drops.
The R.M.E will however not be fitted with 1.11 parts to remain compatible with users playing on Simpleplanes 1.9.205, but an unlisted version with the new parts will be made available upon release.
People, most of these are great observations, a valuable trait in planespotting, keep it coming!
Not sure if this is feasible, but it would be extremely helpful if there could be a way for sub assemblies to be treated, work, and counted as a single piece part wise, and physics wise, so nameplates, and overly complex liveries doesn't eat up valuable part counts that could have gone on custom control surfaces, engines, or cockpit. Even if it can only be static without hinges, pistons, rotators, or wheels, it would be a great help.
@OrangNormal
Very good but how many part count
_
The whole project will sum up to about 3,500 parts give or take, but this plane in particular will be below 800 as I have always done, apart from the Antonov An-225 Antonov Airlines, and Boeing 747-146SR Japan Airlines. Do not worry, all other aspects of the project will be kept mobile friendly to the best of my abilities.
@IranAir747
You’re next project it’s DC-9?
_
More or less. The plane presented is a DC-9 though, but it wouldn't just be the DC-9 taking off.
@TankmanNewgrounds
So your DC-9 in the picture is similar to this? https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/3bWK1q/DC-9-40-SAS
_
The plane you have sent resembles more of the MD-80, MD-90, or the 717 series than the DC-9 series by the way the fuselage tail tapers. I should warn however that most of the components of the DC-9 presented herein were mostly mutilated from my Douglas DC-8-61 Nationair. Components or Sub-Assemblies such as cockpit panels, instruments, emergency slides, nose sub-assembly, and Funky Tree Formulas to save time on building and more time on refining existing components. Powerplant still pending, should I go for the JT8D, or the CFM LEAP?
@IntelHDGraphics4000
can you make high detail cockpit??
Indeed I could, however that would balloon the part count to personally unreasonable levels for both my device and my target demographics.
_
@Armin83
Excuse me, can you make the Boeing 747 Series 300.
It is a possibility yes, though I am engaged in other projects so it might be a while from today until 2022 to construct a 747-300.
_
@Tanaydwivedi
bro please make flying v
I may eventually build it, but it will take time to scour the internet for its proportionate dimensions and blueprints.

@SyntheticL
Can I use your cockpit on my 757 projects? Just the hull but only a few instruments. The nose i made is too weird... So i am requesting using your 757's.
Here's an image showing the part I am requesting to use, of course you will get credits.
Nice 747 btw
Indeed you can, I've built two 757's with differing cockpit assemblies: 757-300 RB211, and 757-200 PW2037, you can use either as long as you do not claim the cockpit assemblies as your own. You have my green light.
@Falkenwut
Really like this one in particular! Low part count and fantastic detail! Brilliant job!! Would you be interested in making or joining me to make this model an airborne aircraft carrier?
I appreciate the offer, but I would like to abide by civil transport, though I wish you best of wishes to building that 747 Aircraft Carrier.
@KLM_747
I quite like your designs and the way you conserve parts. I'm a fan of this design, but maybe you could make the flaps have three sections next time? If you don't mind, I'd like to show you a little teaser on what I've been working on. I also made a 747 Wing that you might be interested in, but be warned that one wing is more than this entire aircraft.
P.S. You really should disable drag on decals and other non-essential drag parts.
Perhaps so, but I'm content how the flaps function, though it will be improved upon once I can cull parts from different aspects of a project. Drag wise, it doesn't really improve performance, mainly because all of my builds can run on low physics settings, apart for that Tu-104 project. But I will take note of it for the second time.
ACAS is short for Airborne Collison Avoidance System, although my execution of it is rather crude at best, in basic principle, it utilizes a missile mounted on the nose of the airliner much like a radar dishes in real life airliners, when its activated by AG6, select Air-to-Air and it will detect any aircraft at a 30° cone, and when it does see something, it will blare. Cannot be fired of course, its an airliner, not a fighter jet.
@DeGebra
Jelybaca just out of curiosity, will you start taking build requests again?
Probably not, though there is something in the works, and this time I'll take time to polish the rules out. It's another challenge essentially, and the top prize will be a build & livery request or something of the like.
Probably, once I can find a blueprint that is A) crisp clear, and B) in clean orthographic proportions. Most I found are either blurred or tilted, rendering it useless.
@MadeInIndonesia
Jelybaca can i modify it to another livery
Indeed you can, as long as you do not claim the aircraft model: This 747-200B in this case, as your own, though your livery will be your own work. You have my green light.
@MakoRezei nope, whomever this John Rowan is, it ain't me. I don't go to Simpleplanes Group Chats if it even exists, there was once but I left it a long time ago.
@Marcosplane Oh its a collision warning by employing a missile that will never lock, it'll ping and will warn both pilots, but it can never be fired. Not to be mistaken for terrain warning

Oh dear, I am sorry to hear that. As a person who never had Mac, I couldn't test my maps to function in excellence for Mac. Although can you describe the issue you are experiencing for me? Perhaps it could be a SimpleFix™.
If you have any questions, let me know. Oh and I just realised that this plane has less parts than the original, 699 vs 703!

This couldn't be a brabazon because the windows are circular, the brabazon has square windows
Darn, I gotta fox that
@asteroidbook345
it's weird it looks pointy and big for a viscount but it's the same shape
Excellent observation, the tail does resemble a Viscount
@SheriffHackdogMCPE
Where is your dc9 ur supposed to make? Is it also 1.11-compliant (With gauges)?
The rear mounted engine (R.M.E) plane is airworthy and really is ready for publication, but alas another project of mine has exceeded 800 parts, and I'm just waiting for the 1.11's new text block in hopes to make it mobile friendly so both could be published together once the big update drops.
The R.M.E will however not be fitted with 1.11 parts to remain compatible with users playing on Simpleplanes 1.9.205, but an unlisted version with the new parts will be made available upon release.
People, most of these are great observations, a valuable trait in planespotting, keep it coming!
+1Not sure if this is feasible, but it would be extremely helpful if there could be a way for sub assemblies to be treated, work, and counted as a single piece part wise, and physics wise, so nameplates, and overly complex liveries doesn't eat up valuable part counts that could have gone on custom control surfaces, engines, or cockpit. Even if it can only be static without hinges, pistons, rotators, or wheels, it would be a great help.
+25@OrangNormal
Very good but how many part count
_
The whole project will sum up to about 3,500 parts give or take, but this plane in particular will be below 800 as I have always done, apart from the Antonov An-225 Antonov Airlines, and Boeing 747-146SR Japan Airlines. Do not worry, all other aspects of the project will be kept mobile friendly to the best of my abilities.
@IranAir747
You’re next project it’s DC-9?
_
More or less. The plane presented is a DC-9 though, but it wouldn't just be the DC-9 taking off.
@TankmanNewgrounds
So your DC-9 in the picture is similar to this?
https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/3bWK1q/DC-9-40-SAS
_
The plane you have sent resembles more of the MD-80, MD-90, or the 717 series than the DC-9 series by the way the fuselage tail tapers. I should warn however that most of the components of the DC-9 presented herein were mostly mutilated from my Douglas DC-8-61 Nationair. Components or Sub-Assemblies such as cockpit panels, instruments, emergency slides, nose sub-assembly, and Funky Tree Formulas to save time on building and more time on refining existing components. Powerplant still pending, should I go for the JT8D, or the CFM LEAP?
@IntelHDGraphics4000
can you make high detail cockpit??
Indeed I could, however that would balloon the part count to personally unreasonable levels for both my device and my target demographics.

@Armin83
Excuse me, can you make the Boeing 747 Series 300.
It is a possibility yes, though I am engaged in other projects so it might be a while from today until 2022 to construct a 747-300.

@Tanaydwivedi
bro please make flying v
I may eventually build it, but it will take time to scour the internet for its proportionate dimensions and blueprints.

@SyntheticL
Can I use your cockpit on my 757 projects? Just the hull but only a few instruments. The nose i made is too weird... So i am requesting using your 757's.
Here's an image showing the part I am requesting to use, of course you will get credits.
Nice 747 btw
Indeed you can, I've built two 757's with differing cockpit assemblies: 757-300 RB211, and 757-200 PW2037, you can use either as long as you do not claim the cockpit assemblies as your own. You have my green light.

@Falkenwut
Really like this one in particular! Low part count and fantastic detail! Brilliant job!! Would you be interested in making or joining me to make this model an airborne aircraft carrier?
I appreciate the offer, but I would like to abide by civil transport, though I wish you best of wishes to building that 747 Aircraft Carrier.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
@KLM_747
I quite like your designs and the way you conserve parts. I'm a fan of this design, but maybe you could make the flaps have three sections next time? If you don't mind, I'd like to show you a little teaser on what I've been working on. I also made a 747 Wing that you might be interested in, but be warned that one wing is more than this entire aircraft.
P.S. You really should disable drag on decals and other non-essential drag parts.
Perhaps so, but I'm content how the flaps function, though it will be improved upon once I can cull parts from different aspects of a project. Drag wise, it doesn't really improve performance, mainly because all of my builds can run on low physics settings, apart for that Tu-104 project. But I will take note of it for the second time.
+2@bipbip901
what is the Acas
ACAS is short for Airborne Collison Avoidance System, although my execution of it is rather crude at best, in basic principle, it utilizes a missile mounted on the nose of the airliner much like a radar dishes in real life airliners, when its activated by AG6, select Air-to-Air and it will detect any aircraft at a 30° cone, and when it does see something, it will blare. Cannot be fired of course, its an airliner, not a fighter jet.

@DeGebra
Jelybaca just out of curiosity, will you start taking build requests again?
Probably not, though there is something in the works, and this time I'll take time to polish the rules out. It's another challenge essentially, and the top prize will be a build & livery request or something of the like.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
@Ruskiwaffle1991
Can you make Braniff's "jellybean" planes?
In due time probably, though I need to find an aircraft to fly the livery.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
@tristarsus
can you make l-1011 tristar
Probably, once I can find a blueprint that is A) crisp clear, and B) in clean orthographic proportions. Most I found are either blurred or tilted, rendering it useless.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
@BassemT90
Jelybaca any plans for A300/310 family?
Not it particular, but I might rework on the Airbus A300-600ST I have built with revamped undercarriage assembly and new engine models.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
@MadeInIndonesia
Jelybaca can i modify it to another livery
Indeed you can, as long as you do not claim the aircraft model: This 747-200B in this case, as your own, though your livery will be your own work. You have my green light.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
+2The assembly of the 727 is stunning
@SyntheticL
Very cool
Would you mind if I make several screenshots with it?
Ə no I wouldn't mind it, it is for you after all
+2@MakoRezei nope, whomever this John Rowan is, it ain't me. I don't go to Simpleplanes Group Chats if it even exists, there was once but I left it a long time ago.
+3My goodness is this excellent. I've pulled the same thing four times, but by far this is ingenious.
@NexusGaming
Can you make a Lockheed L-2000 and MD-12 in TAROM livery?
I might be able to, but I already have TAROM assigned to an aircraft other than the MD-12 and the L-2000. But the L-2000 is planned to be built
+1@JamesieMcPlanesieThe2st
I dunno, I was absent for three months
@tristarsus @IntelHDGraphics4000
Actually this is the final plane for my 10 planes release, normal upload intervals of once or quarterly a month will probably resume.
+2@Brian101m It's probably pilot error. I Haven't encountered such issue you describe during flight tests and afterwards.
+2@WarHawk95 whoops I'll'o fix that, sorry I was in a rush.
@AsteroidAsteroidTheBook client errors, pretty big ones too...
@Marcosplane Oh its a collision warning by employing a missile that will never lock, it'll ping and will warn both pilots, but it can never be fired. Not to be mistaken for terrain warning
@ben2289
I have already built a Tupolev Tu-144 some months, I'm sure its still in my profile somewhere
@MitchesPlanes I actually have Braniff International assigned to an aircraft and is in progress to completion with this and next week.
