@MTakach Thanks buddy :)
The whole Covid thing, and stuff in my country kind'a got me depressed, so I took a break.
Hopefully I'll be able to upload some new videos now that things are a bit more stable ;)
Thank you to the pilots!
I tried to keep this as unedited as possible, hope it's not too long.
.
If you see me in MP and want to practice some formation flying, just let me know
It's my favorite thing to do in MP :)
@WolfSpark @MrSilverWolf Read my new post in the MP mod page...
might help make life less painful in MP ;)
and please share the info in MP ingame chat, so less players suffer in MP :)
Go to your Steam, Right click Simpleplanes -> Properties -> Betas, and select an Earlier version of the game: I.E. V1.9.250.0
This will remove all added content like Glass from the recent Update, and make weapons react like they did before the update.
No more nukes.
It takes a minute or 2, but you can switch back to Current version by following the same steps and selecting: NONE - opt out of all beta programs
you can switch back and forth as many times as you need.
.
It sucks not to have Glass, But it Sucks more to get Nuked every 5 seconds.
.
Please share this information with MP players in chat.
If anybody can Pin this message, Please do so.
@Beanz17 Imagine going online with your mobile, and there's 5 players with 400 part builds each...
That's 2000 parts on your mobile.
Now imagine when there's 10...
Great plane!
This is the first STOL Ultralight/Bush plane I really enjoy flying.
Easy to control, fun to fly, fun to land.
@BagelPlane great job on the original one, the design is beautiful and very practical.
Now I finally have a plane to use in MP for STOL flying :)
With the latest update, making Map sized nukes is killing mp for good :(
Too many trolls, too many players spawning in and killing everybody, or just crashing the game with nukes.
Been seeing too many players rage-quit, or just get disconnected.
I Don't recommend playing MP after this latest update.
@Userofplanes I'm having some stability issue I'm trying to solve.. major rebuild problems... :\
But I'm also waiting for the next update to fully come out with the new glass part and such..
@Flyer24 my biggest problem is that there are a lot of long time players that load up heavy builds even when they know it'll lag the server..
they don't care, they just want to show their build, and other players can't do much.
instead of making a version for MP that doesn't have all the things other players can't even see like full cockpits, internal decoration and such, they just load in their 800-3000 part counts and people get auto disconnect :\
New players that load up heavy builds usually switch when they understand that they're creating lag.
@BagelPlane no... It just makes the lights turn on (Roll) or off (-Roll) when you press either way on Roll..
With the code up, When you press Left Roll (A) only Left lights will activate, and vice versa.
also works for pitch yaw etc..
@WingManAdrian123 You can hide a tail rotor inside the body if you want a good heading hold..
I built a helicopter that uses 2 tail rotors hidden inside for heading hold.
the game doesn't really have good heading stabilization.
Dude, you can't just go and steal someone else's plane...
at least modify it, or something to give it an excuse of being a successor instead of just uploading it as your own.
@SonicManiaOVA Thank you very much!
Glad you enjoy it :)
I don't care if it makes it to the top...
I only care that players enjoy it, that's why I made the tutorial how to break it apart ;)
I love the design of this heli, makes me smile every time I load it up!
I imagine a battlefield covered in red and yellow stripes, with bits of french-fries all over and broken happy meal toys... and a lot of confused ground targets.
Kind'a like my room on a Friday :P
@TheFantasticTyphoon Flares don't either
About those groups that start popping up, I think it's stupid to start seperating the player base like that.
I have nothing to do with any "Clan" or "defender" group, if anybody tells you otherwise they are lying.
I'll be honest, doesn't look the best, and it shows you don't have much experience with helicopters (especially with the lack of Yaw control...)
But this helicopter is not bad!
I've flown worse helicopters by much "better" builders.
Looks don't matter to me that much, I care about functionality and that a creation fills the role it's meant to.
You got the weight and balance pretty good, and the flight model isn't bad.
IMO Flying with Gyro on kind'a sucks...But Gyro Off this thing is pretty good and reacts pretty close to how a helicopter should, I think this is a great start.
I like the Idea with the doors and Gunners, and I think that with time you'll be able to make something crazy with that ;)
@TheFantasticTyphoon We are happy hear about your interest in our new Snowfox
We can provide those numbers now that we entered full production here at Makhe'ra Industries.
Unit cost are 10,000,000$$ per unit, and we'll send you an Extra 15 units for free to serve as reserve and/or as training helicopters.
to a Total of 160 Helicopters.
Wow this is Awesome!
Thank you @TheFantasticTyphoon for making this challenge! Cheers!
This was the first challenge I entered in SP with the aim to complete, it was really fun and challenging to design something with the time constraint and limitations.
It was really awesome to see all the helicopters made for this challenge!
(If you didn't notice, I'm a huge heli nerd...)
Tbh I didn't expect to win... but I'm really happy I did, and I'm very proud of the helicopter that came out of it.
.
I'm working on a Full gunship version with more missiles and rockets, which is a bit crazy with how much this little heli can carry...
and a Civilian version for underslung cargo lifting, and sport flying. ;)
Ooh the big beast is finally out!! :D
+2I'm going to take it for a spin later on, but I pretty much know what it can do from our drives in mp ;)
@BagelPlane Thank you! :)
Glad you liked it :D
@Typhoon_ Thank you! :)
+1I'm reviewing the recording we got from our Ultralight flight, I'll probably upload it in the next few days ;)
@MTakach Thanks buddy :)

Terrifying to play with :)

Say "Whatever you want here
You don't need to add the " at the end.

great work!
+1@MiladicPlanes you need to come on a steep bank for final for sure...
Or Just use 19L for Takeoff, and 01L for landing ;)
@BagelPlane no... It just makes the lights turn on (Roll) or off (-Roll) when you press either way on Roll..
With the code up, When you press Left Roll (A) only Left lights will activate, and vice versa.

Pretty cool update.
The smoothing is really nice, and full cockpits can finally be made!
and autoturrets will also be possible.
Any chance to get an update or fix for Wheels with this update?

@tylerdeveneuxmusic thanks for upvote, tho since last update the code was changed..
+1I re-edited the post with the correct code
@jselbach np, cool build ;)
+1@WSindustries This should help:
Link
@Monsterdagger It's out for a couple of months now
Link
Best thing I can suggest is keep Flying above 700-800 mph...
and stay in the air.
@TheFantasticTyphoon Flares don't either

@Wi1dSk7 Thank you!!
It's a FARP I made for landing practice, and can be spawned as AI..
Link
@Wi1dSk7 This still has a lot of work to be done on it..
+2not sure how long this one will take
@YAMADA034290 cheers
I just setup the rotator to AG-6 :)
Great plane!
+1One thing about this and the training version is the rear wheel rotator is set to AG-7 not AG-6...
same as tail hook
@SledDriver Yeah it suck..
I mean at least make the giant fuel dumps in Avalanche destructible :(
@MTakach Thank you!
Tho to be honest my Orca is from C&C 95, so it's a no brainer ;)
Very nice!!
So much fun to let those cannons loose ;)
Cool build!
@Kimfri @MTakach ;)
WARNING!!!Full Angle Reverse Thrusting (FART) fast stopping, may require a cleaning crew to peal and wash the pilot off the interior side if the canopy.
I'll be honest, doesn't look the best, and it shows you don't have much experience with helicopters (especially with the lack of Yaw control...)

@BaconAircraft lol, Well sorry, but happy to disappoint ;)
@asteroidbook345 pretty much.. heli's in general are as fast as biplanes, even faster..
Just don't expect them to win too many dogfights ;)
@Cammandaslam This thing is a monster...
very twitchy to fly, and the G's would turn the pilot into jam ;)
@Cammandaslam That's what it's made for ;)
glad you like it & Thank you!
looks pretty good
@asteroidbook345 hopefully :P
