@DerpTheSoyacfartala if your post has more than one topic then decide which is more important, use the tag for it and do a side mention of what other things you want to discuss
@QuitePossiblyMangled drama post gain attention because it has 10s of upvotes and comments plus they are usually the top post in the forums. Everyone who see such post (even if they have no opinion of it) will think the community is deteriorating.

Drama posts usually has the "feelings" tag. I would imagine that it can only benefit the community if the drama can be contained to those who read posts with this tag (the critics and supporters) while the general public is unaware such a thing is going on.

If your post has 2 topics then decide which one is important.. use the tag for it then do a side mention of the other topic.
If you click the link above to the categories page, you'll see that it is possible to sort the forums using the tags. BUT, its useless at the moment because we can put upto 5 tags in one forum post.

@SyntheticL this bug comes from a cockpit with 0 drag and 0 mass. If you increase it to 1 or 0.5 the problem will go away.
.
If changing mass/drag destroys the balance of your plane then just re-balance it again.
@Jauntyccmbr i edited my reply below to clarify it more..
.
a warning tho. If you edited your hinge's range of motion to nonstandard value (ie. numbers with decimals and ones that are not multiples of 5) you must not open its parts properties (the gear button). Doing so will reset the hinge back to standard value (no decimals, only multiples of 5)
@An2k there is no bug and your hinges work fine.
.
What you got wrong is saying min/max values can limit the hinge's range of motion if its floppy
.
Sorry OP this thread got derailed a bit
@An2k i tested your dummy from the link you posted... the elbow hinges cannot move at all because it lacks another hinge between the handlebars and the hands
@Jauntyccmbr rotate the hinge and the stuff connected to it by 22.5° and set its range of motion to 22.5° using overload.
Edit: With this, you can have 22.5° of motion in both directions resulting to a total of 45° in range of motion.
.
@An2k min/max value doesnt affect the hinge's range of motion if it is floppy.
Hey man, you must try using glass with negative transparency and create a wheel-like structures similar to the wheels in this old design. Also set collision response to None and add tons of health so they dont explode.
Auto track turrets has a problem of locking up when rotators have limited angle of rotation and you turn your aircraft too much.
. or maybe its already fixed by FT magicians....... but no one has uploaded any solutions yet so i believe it is still a problem
IIRC There is a way to share locations but its PITA to do because it involves editing xml files.
.
Its faster if you crash land in the destroyer and save the location.
I honestly dont know.. try doing a few things like setting more stability or gyro speed.. play with yaw power too.. and lastly add more gyros and see if that solves your issue
@BurkeAircraft1 you're gonna lob missiles at an unarmed civilian boat? :D
the end date of this challenge is April 1... something tells me you're up to something no good :D
I submitted a design just in case. tho, I can't test it out on Ocean mod because my laptop is busted rn.
@Urocyon thanks!
Get a hobby.. (this is a serious advice)
.
Woodworking and Gardening are hot right now where i live. I'm personally growing edible mushrooms
Set water to high?

@DerpTheSoyacfartala yes it already exist.

Add mass and drag to cockpit

Try replacing the rotators at the base of the scarf with 2 winches.. it will make the scarf flap more vigorously
Guren and Lancelot plz..............

-.- you need to add descriptions.. just list down the controls would be ok

Is there another round of beta? Or the next release is the final version?
Not cramped enough.. :) it looks very good!
What different on your airport compared to 1918's airport? apart from one is a mod and the other is a "plane"
How to retract the ladder? Edit: its disabling Activate# 8 lol
@BagelPlane springs usually bug out when collision response is set to None or DisconnectOnly
.
Try locking it with magnets...
Simpleplanes is also sold in gog

Auto track turrets has a problem of locking up when rotators have limited angle of rotation and you turn your aircraft too much.

Very nice skin on frame aircraft!
Cool!
@RussianAce nvm. I cant see pics from your gallery with firefox.. but with opera i can.
It looks really cool!
Cant see pics.. :(
Can you also make one that only follows the target? I'll use this for a camera of a drone i'm making. No need for auto lead. Please..
Hi, how to modify this so it can only move 70° of left and right traverse and 45° up and down elevation?
Edit: NVM. I found how but it seems if you limit its rotation it has a tendency to get stuck if you turn too much
You need to take pictures from the sunlit side lol.
Not with propellers unfortunately. You can make a pseudo siren using winches but the sound of it doesnt match with the real thing.
There is.. but 99.99% of the time its unrecoverable.
Try watching LowSpecGamer on youtube. For games like Simpleplanes the pc he builds is more than adequate

@CodenameMorgan thanks!
Build something that has lots of moving parts and aesthetically pleasing to the eye.
@DClass add bulletScale to the gun properties click here
Increase bullet size so mario image projects perfectly when fired.
But its black tho?
Need arms
It may be useful if you can turn it off. Imagine a perfectly hovering airship.

Turn the gyroscope sideways
@Jwpdaviesjr nevermind :)
