I had a small idea for SimplePlanes 2: What if there was a "Ghost System" where we could load pre-recorded flight paths into the map as AI traffic?
These ghosts wouldn't have collision or physics—just simple 3D replays of previously saved flights. They’d act like visual recordings, following the same movements without needing full AI or physics simulation.
This would be far more performance-friendly and effective than spawning fully simulated AI aircraft—though that could still remain as an option for those who want it.
I’m not very experienced in game development, so I’m not sure how feasible this is—but maybe someone who knows more can weigh in on whether it’s possible.
@Graingy Just because something is a replica doesn't mean it's boring, use your own logic, everyone builds differently, replica or not. Even then, there's no justification implying all replicas are boring, is there?, you seem to not even understand the point, didn't expect you to, not surprised at all tbh. By the way, describing anyone that disagrees with you as having a stick up their ass (which you very weirdly use often) isn't a really good tactic.
Atp can't even tell if your persona is genuine or just fucking ragebait lmao, I'm off🥀🥀
@Graingy Then don't slander 95 percent of the community because you find replicas boring keep your opinions and forums to yourself. Anways, I am fully aware of the first line in my bio, thanks for the reminder, that doesn't mean I'd take it lightly when a dude that hasn't built much that can be considered high quality to the community decides to call a bunch of people's work boring, at the very least you could've made it subjective and not put your rather silly opinion out there as fact
Edit: Also, why the fuck are you so obsessed with sticks in people's asses?
A lot of the good ones lost interest or went on hiatus, I remember back in my day the front page was filled with super interesting builds, now there's only a few. They'll hopefully come back for SP2
@MIGFOXHOUND31BSM26 I'm just saying I expected SP2 to be a whole lot different except, like I said, this particular build was made specifically compatible for sp1 in sp2 which in hindsight it probably was, this whole convo is useless, my bad
@GeneralCorpInc for the engines I basically just set the power to the real life counter parts, for example the GE90 115B generates around 115KLBS of thrust so I adjusted the engines power till I got a power to weight of about 0.522 (weight around 440KLBS), as for the acceleration I just adjusted it's throttleResponse value till it took off in the same time as a real 777 at that weight (say about 40 seconds). This method I've always used for my jet engines.
Other than that, thanks for the glide ratio method, sounds solid, can't wait to use it
Hello hello..
What on earth are you doing there?
Didn't you get the memo?...
The place is closed down
At least for a while...
Someone used one of the suits
We had a spare in the back...
A yellow one...
Someone used it Now... none of them are acting right...
Yeah, bunny suits and kids don't usually end well...
RIP
+1@SemedianIndustries yup :)

+1@frogbot4000 well tag me if you do
+1@keiyronelleavgeek566 it will
+1@UNIVERSALAIRLINES 💯
+1Awesome 👍
+1I find it weird when people have to point out specific features to identify, like can't you just look at it and recognize it? 🤷♂️
+1Damn, sexy winglets 🤤
+1Happened to me before, I think it has to do with smoothing and connections
+1My teachers think im good boy..... but.... they don't see the dark monster inside me 😈
+1@CSTIJN damn, must've been fun
+1@CSTIJN woah didn't know that lol
+1@CSTIJN not sure how to advise you on that, seeing as you build your wings way better than I do mine, unless there's specific issues
+1Adds another to the favorites
+1I thought this was gonna be racial at first 😭
+1I think they all fall under the broader "SimplePlanes"
+1looks good, you're almost at gold, well done

+1@ViviDoesStuff that egyptair is way more stunning tbh. You did an amazing job

+1@PlaneFlightX how many drag points should a 777 have, been playing with it for ages now but it still flies awkwardly
+1Pringles, specifically the black and purple (bbq) ones. Oh and yes I lick them first, don't judge 😑
+1That's pretty neat for a class boredom drawing
+1@CSTIJN eh, not really I'm more particular about the plane itself, it's why I prefer to fly generics a lot
