New weapons lile the Tactical Laser or the Pulse Laser from Ace Combat and more realistic Cleaver homing.
Cleaver is a cruise missile. In SP, the Cleaver flies ditectly at its target. In real life cruise missiles fly at a constant altitude, then strike their targets from above.
As you're working on cockpit elements and have already made gauges, can you please add HUD and MFD parts as well?
Also a customizable flight column (with options like type=yoke or stick, size, buttons, etc), throttle lever (with options like engine count, reverse thrust, flaps and airbrake levers on it), yaw pedals and other control elements would be awesome.
@CL125 @MrShenanigansSP Yeah, I understand that and hope he's doing well.
What I don't understand tho is why did he delete his account? He could continue after his health problems are solved, or at least keep it so other user could still enjoy his creations
Please add an option to change on-screen controls.
Why are there 2 round virtual joysticks?
There should be throttle and yaw sliders and only one virtual joystick only for pitch and roll, just like in every other flight sim.
Amazing build, I love it even tho my phone doesn't.
Only thing I need to say is 712k drag points is too much and it's the main thing that makes this thing not-mobile-friendly. An airship doesn't even need any drag points at all. If drag was eliminated, I think most phones would easily handle 722 parts.
I don't know if this is possible, even if it's possible it'll probably be very difficult to implement, but...
Please add better drag and air pressure simulation to fuselage blocks, hollow and glass fuselages and remove the default wing pieces so we'll only use those fuselage parts to make the whole airframes of our planes. In real life air pressure acts on the whole airframe of planes, not just the wings.
Nice tutorial. You can also make the parts of the fuselage above and below the windows in 1 piece and, according to my unreliable math, do it in half the part count
There may be (must be) a way simpler way to do this but i should be asleep rn and can't think of it. Basically this checks if you're activating or deactivating and runs the correct code.
@PlaneFlightX Thanks, didn't know that.
I play on my phone, but I don't have it rn to send the craft so I'll just increase the health of the most important parts through the game when I can.
Great-looking plane with good armament. I especcially like how thicc it is, it would certainly scare enemy infantry.
Only problem is, it flies very heavily, as the CoM is too much ahead of the CoL. Would fly a lot better if you made the tail 1000 - 1500 kg heavier.
Excellent plane. I'd just suggest that you make the vertical stabilisers bigger to increase stability on the yaw axis. It wobbles a bit when rolling sharply.
Other than that, the plane flies great, it's very maneuverable.
Maybe try setting partCollisionResponse to none and disableAircraftCollisions to true on all the parts.
Also, there was a glitch that the glass is indestructable. As far as I remember this was fixed in an update, but if not, you can cover your creation's whole body with 0% opacity glass and it will become indestructable.
Could you make the Helios missile please? I know the game doesn't show its actual appearance, I just want a missile that explodes like it.
And is there a way to change a missile's explosion color? If yes, could you tell me how?
There's something interesting about these old planes made with blocks... You can make liveries easier!
When you use the fuselage blocks to make the fuselage, you have to add very thin layers of fuselage blocks and paint them just to make a decent livery, and that doubles the part count. Things change with these blocks: You can just paint the blocks you want to necessary colors, and that doesn't increase the part count at all. Also, the fuselage blocks take more processing time (according to my experience).
I even did a kamikaze attack on it with USS Beast (I was controlling it using this: https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/gG9595/USS-Beast-Controller-USS-Controbeast) at 1200 knots and all the Cleavers exploding and it didn't even scratch its back.
@botowo You mean this: https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/fBsP3r/funky-weird-wing-design-bomber-thing right? I didn't know about it before making these.
But actually it is pretty good and funny!
Please add a strength slider to the part connections.

Don't force yourself to play. Play and upload planes when you feel like it. I have two consecutive uploads that are more than 1 year apart.

In my experience the planes aren't bugged but you can't lock on them even if they were spawned in "aggressive" mode
