I just discovered that, using the rotator setup you figured out for you camera operated turret(range set to 10°, InputControler min & max set to 0.1) but using targetHeading & targetElevation as the input, you can make work an auto-aim turret, but without the enormously complex funky trees coding that all other auto-aim systems uses, aka, a auto-aim system that anyone can make. I might even make a post about this.
I would like point out a small issue that's kinda annoying. The rotators & hinges tend to have a wobbling problem when you start using them on big things, upscaled or not, be it on slightly unusual things like mechs, or more normal things like ships or cranes. IF there is a way to remedy that with this maintenance update, that'd be nice. If not then hopefully it can be prevented in SP2
@SupremeDorian please forgive the @, but I just remembered this one detail that is actually sorta significant to the aforementioned problem.
Edit, a day later: I forgot to mention that the wobbling occurs on both ends, aka if the base is big(upscaled or not), the part the joint is moving will wobble like it's really big, even though it's not.
@RestlessGalaxies
To ease the strain, I suggest maybe doing a plane a day. It would draw out the final results, but it should theoretically make for a less stressful judging.

@SupremeDorian
What about drag from huge builds.this? I've found, from personal experience, that even a relatively simplistic Massive craft will have massive lag if I don't essentially disable drag on every part of said massive-but-simple creation. Could something be done in SP2 that will in some way reduce the lag from drag created by huge builds, or at the very least, a function that can disable drag for an entire build?
@MonsNotTheMonster
As regards the designer, I don't think it was originally conceived that people would try and make really big things. I have to wonder if that will be different in SP2.
@RB107
A suggestion that might help with not killing a phone: when you start building, set the first fuselage block you use to CalculateDrag to false, along with any and all subsequent parts. This really reduces lag, since drag seems to take up a bit of processing power.
Fun fact: my brute force method of disabling the turrets is making a location right between them, when spawning a cockpit with a bomb above it in that spot. When the bomb drops, it takes out the turrets
The name for a character of mine, that has long since since gotten a different one. I've thought a few times of changing it, but frankly, I probably won't anytime soon.
@TheUltimatePlaneLover
For the swarming issue, I tent to make simple enemy aircraft with a low processing cost, so you can spawn a ton of them and it won't cause too much lag.
As for the lack of a gun reticle, this might offer a way to solve that issue(notice the third screenshot).
@LunarEclipseSP
Technically the blues and yellows are on the same side, so definitely blues are enemies. But the way I see it, and I'd suggest you let others know of this, all the yellows are actively attacking, Omitters and Compilers are defending already conquered areas, and Observer Zero is the leader of all operations, occasionally taking part in attacks if she feels like there's not too much risk for herself.
I am pleased to see SimplePlanes getting a revamp. I only ask a few things.
1. A part that allows the creation of custom guided weapons, as while the adaptation of missiles into guided bombs/drones does work, is isn't perfect, and can even cause glitches.
2. Will the multiplayer mode be able to be disabled(I was always satisfied with just spawning A.I opponents)?
3. Will, at the very minimum, the Overload and Fine Tuner mods be carried over to the new SimplePlanes(adapted to work with it of course)?

@FlyingPatriot
Yes, but, how??
Show us how you did is, please. 🙂
+5Add an option to fuselage blocks(block, hollow, and inlet) editor that lets us make custom front and back shapes(Triangles, hexagons, SR-71 etc..).

+4Yeeeess! Someone points out that low part count doesn't mean low quality.

How's your plane going? I'm going through hell putting in all the functionality of mine.
Also, @RestlessGalaxies, do you know the kind of pain trying to implement a G-limiter brings?

Very interesting. 👍
I have a few projects that have been suffering from the dreaded procrastination. As the Silver Wolf's badge says it, "Let's finish this".

+2I do plan on releasing some content that'll show the drones aren't bright enough to do something like that(especially one).
Maybe a relatively normal building doing something completely abnormal(also, I've got two anomalies on the way).
