  • Yup 4.1 years ago

    @SyntheticL Yeah, that looks rough. This one is all straight lines, which will save a lot of time and it doesnt have to be exact.

  • Yup 4.1 years ago

    JSDF have some pretty funky F-15 paintjobs, so do the "Aggressor" squadrons here in America if you're looking for ideas.

  • Tank suggestions? 4.1 years ago

    Pre-war? Renault FT
    WW2? Sturmgeschutz III
    Postwar? T-72 or M-48

  • i need ideas 4.1 years ago

    Sure bud, here you go.

  • how do i apply funkytrees code to mech legs? 4.1 years ago

    Make sure Finetuner is enabled under the Mods section of the main menu, then use finetuner (blue button, towards the bottom of the build screen).

    You usually enter the Funky code into the "input" section of a rotator or other moving part.

    Here's a guide to Funky Trees

    Here's a guide to using XML

    I reccomend you read about XML first and experiment with it before getting into Funky Trees. This stuff isn't easy, but its amazingly powerful.

    Your center of gravity isn't forward enough.

  • Tu-22M3 "Backfire" 4.1 years ago

    @KnightOfRen Thanks, lol. I feel bad about how things went, hopefully everything will turn around for him. Anyway, take care.

  • Martin B-26B-55-MA Marauder 4.1 years ago

    I'm so pleased to see this thing finally get released, I've been looking forward to it since your first pictures. Amazing work.

    We no longer share a server. Anyway, sorry your bud is having a bad day. He only credit James after I called him out on it and it's not right to post thumbnails of stuff you didnt make. I have said my piece on this issue and don't really feel like continuing the subject.

    Always good to see one of your creations

  • So What is this About Challenges Now? 4.1 years ago

    F104Deathtrap so being the staple of the community automatically makes Asteroid better?
    At this point, you are just picking on less experienced challenge hosts.

    To be perfectly honest with you, I had him confused with somebody else that I respect very much for some community work he did. Kind of funny, in my opinion. Anyway, I'm not trying to pick on you and if you don't like what I've got to say then I will certainly leave you to whatever it is you're trying to do here. Good luck

  • On current events here on SP (about Parzival and build quality) 4.1 years ago

    @APilotOfPlanes Things are different now that people are allowed to modify thumbnails, the rule I am certain of is that the thumbnail must be a picture of the downloadable creation.

    As for your upvotes, I dont know what to tell you. Sometimes they love you, sometimes they dont. Building something that looks great and taking good pictures of it will always get upvotes but you are going to discover that quality doesnt really equal upvotes. High rated, pretty planes that fly like crap. Awesome builds that somehow slip by without getting any attention. It's not fair, but that's how it is.

  • So What is this About Challenges Now? 4.1 years ago

    @APilotOfPlanes I really don't care what you did in the past or how many upvotes you get from one thing to the next. You can shake your head till your neck gets tired but it won't change the facts.
    I'm not saying all this because I've got something against you. I don't have anything against you. I'm letting you know so that you've got a chance to improve. This game is full of people that cheesed their way into platinum and gold but never made anything worth downloading. You can be more than that, but it's up to you and at the end of the day it's just a game after all.

  • So What is this About Challenges Now? 4.1 years ago

    @AsteroidAsteroidTheBook You've been a staple of this little community for a long time and I have nothing bad to say about you.

  • project 22 mbt 4.1 years ago

    @XRwarrior69 Totally understandable, I could tell by how good the tank looks that you know what you're doing, but I figured it was worth a shot just in case. Good luck with school

  • [teaser] B 38 ,,striker,, 4.1 years ago

    @Astro12 My Backfire was about 750 parts. The main problem was getting the plane to fly realistically at both supersonic swept wing and low speed fully spread conditions.

    There were other problems caused by having so many parts, but that's not gonna be a problem here.

  • [teaser] B 38 ,,striker,, 4.1 years ago

    @Astro12 The jet looks very cool. My last plane had swing wings like this one, and they can be tricky. Please let me know when it's done so I can check it out.

  • [teaser] B 38 ,,striker,, 4.1 years ago

    @Astro12 Suit yourself, dude. But if you take a peak at every other jet designed this way, they have T tails or cruciform tails because the jet exhaust will ruin anything it touches.

  • Mikoyan-Gurevich Ye-152M 4.1 years ago

    I can't not upvote this. Good pick, good job.

  • project 22 mbt 4.1 years ago

    Make tracks by smooshing wheels y-axis and pasting a whole string of them next to each other. Use the scale line in Finetuner.

  • On current events here on SP (about Parzival and build quality) 4.1 years ago

    This is an all-time low for challenges. Low-effort builders farming upvotes with low-effort challenges. Many of the long time greats are starting to refuse to participate in them because it's become such a joke.

    I noticed your Bush challenge uses a screen grab of somebody's bush plane, but the upload itself is just a single block. Didn't mention who built the plane, didn't list it as a successor. Total violation of the rules.

    And here you are, complaining about a lack of upvotes? Well, make better stuff because this ain't it, chief.

  • [teaser] B 38 ,,striker,, 4.1 years ago

    You might want to raise that horizontal tail out of the jet exhaust.

  • A really clumsy Tiger 4.1 years ago

    This wasn't Grumman's proudest moment, but I think you're doing a great job with it.

  • [teaser] project ,,silencer,, 4.1 years ago

    Teasers have images and videos, not blocks of text that put people to sleep.

  • The skeld Teaser 4.1 years ago

    @DefinitelyNotAnFBI Consider yourself upvoted as soon as you do

  • Is There Any Mod to Screenshot and Upload? 4.1 years ago

    Correct, mods only work on the PC version of the game.

  • Is There Any Mod to Screenshot and Upload? 4.1 years ago

    There are no functional mods for mobile users anymore other than the ones that come with the game

  • F-104G 4.1 years ago

    I am so sorry I let this one get by me, fantastic work here. Certainly a build to be proud of.

  • The skeld Teaser 4.1 years ago

    This is the worst teaser I've ever seen and that's saying something because every third teaser on here is some boring story about what they did last weekend and the words "oh yeah and I'm building a wyvern, yeet"

  • Why are we only allowed to upvote once per minute? 4.1 years ago

    Because people put way more effort into point farming than they do into learning how to build decent stuff.

  • New mechanics suggestion for next update 4.1 years ago

    Should we have new part shapes to help builders reduce part counts and build new things? Nah.

    How about we introduce tank treads? Ha, just kidding.

    Well, why don't we make the missiles fly all stupid like in a movie some kid saw? NOW YOU'RE TALKING!

  • Why is everyone jumping onto the,"BoganBoganTheMan" trend? 4.1 years ago

    I think it's cute, Bogan's cool and it's good to see people celebrate him. It's creepy that kids will jump into a fad before they actually understand it, but I think this one is pretty wholesome.

    @FOXLOVER First, sell the iPad then use the money to buy a RTX series graphics card. You may also need to purchase and assemble the rest of a computer. Hope this helps!

  • A question to the community regarding uploads 4.1 years ago

    I dont have much of an opinion on this. It takes me months to build anything because I'm insane and I procrastinate. I am glad they have a 3 per day rule to prevent spam but that's it really.

  • Howard-R25 Tourer 4.1 years ago

    This is a step forward and it really looks great. You've got style.

  • Very annoying bug! 4.1 years ago

    It's not a bug, you just aren't releasing weapons properly. Assuming you've designed your aircraft properly, you have to gently pitch up as you release free-fall weapons so that you don't slap into them in midair and blow yourself up.

    I know its tempting to assume it's the game's fault when things dont work as expected, but please take some time to better understand the situation before you declare something is bugged and demanding somebody take the time to fix it for you.

  • I have forgiven blue0bull. Stop making forums now 4.1 years ago

    I dunno man, I heard he prefers Kerbal Space Program. That's unforgivable.

    I use light mode. i also enjoy the smell of gasoline and eat string cheese the same way you'd eat a candybar. I am a monster.
