THAT SAID
-It doesn't actually fly properly without the weapons due to badly balanced CG to the point where it can't even take off
-People download it WITHOUT The weapons attached, which alone is not really a good thing, but okay, you wanted to show the weapons in a cool way, let people choose and all, but it not being able to fly without them is a problem.
-For what it is, that cockpit doesn't even have a screen.
Don't let that discourage you because those are just criticisms. There's things to like here like
-Good design. Everything flows and the wings are big enough to accommodate more weight which will help with CG.
-The concept in general of letting people choose weapon loadouts is interesting, but it needs to be better executed.
Read the entire thing and I am left rather... I won't say confused, but disoriented. There's huge potential here. The concept of switching to the ethereal being state or whatever that is meant to be can be used immensely well if executed well
Here though... it's uh... it's just daunting. I can't tell what is happening and the main character literally seems to not give a shit. That said, the descriptions that you wrote are great. It paints a vivid picture... and there is, having read the entire thing, a possibly good plot at play here. But it does need a heck of a lot of work to reach that potential it set. Let me know if you want me to try writing it in my way and attempt to fix the issues I pointed out
To elaborate on the clarity thing, early on, I can't tell what the stakes are at hand. I can't tell what is going on until much later when the action has long since started. It's only when our main character is beelining towards the broken tubes that I realized that the guys need to fix it quick or the ship can't fire back.
@ZerkkOtakuGuy what the hell... its my birthday too.
Lets go dude.
Added bonus, I abso-fricking-lutely love Bocchi. That one scene with here improvised solo, holy crap!
@Sadboye12 don't worry, I'm not. I doubt I ever truly was. Especially knowing people like you were around me. Maybe you playing along was part of cracking the shell to get the egg. Had I have had to face telling the truth to people when I wasn't ready...
We wouldn't have gotten this story.
@Sadboye12 once again... You know, that's kwite alright... Im happy to know that, even. I thought I was alone, I really did. It's heartwarming to know that you were there an actually thought about me after figuring it out. I was under the impression that noone understood, but you did.
@Sadboye12 the Echostar is an allegory to me now. Even it's name... "Echo" and "star"
A repeating thing shining as bright as stars do is... It's emotional.
Which is why I want to see people's versions. I don't care how bad or good. This is an invitation to anyone reading. Make a twin booms plane that is meant to do one thing, show your emotion.
@SuperSuperTheSylph good to know people like you exist.
But I must reiterate. I honestly did get what I deserved and I accept that. I feel like I have wronged a few people and want to right those faults and come out better. This post was one reason why. It serves as a solid explanation to everyone.
Still, tysm for the positivity, I appreciate you for that.
@Graingy Also, what are you? a fricking readaholic? You basically never actually see my posts planes and stuff 💀
(This is me telling you to go see what I posted. Fits with you being a readaholic too)
@RX9115S
Right, after a bit of consideration I'll say that yes, the thing can fly. It just doesn't like pulls... which isn't the best thing for a fighter, but to be fair, that's more forgivable than "It can't fly", so my bad on that one I suppose. I do still think further refinement would make it better since most users will likely just put the pitch full down on take off or do aggressive turns since most of us will likely use WASD or the joystick on phone not very carefully. All it really needs is more tuning on AOA limiter if one already exists (Pretty simple input code, let me know if you want to know how that works). But that being said, It's atleast good to know that you did test it a lot and after thinking about it, this does feel ALRIGHT to let out but you'd definitely do yourself one better if you make it literally FOOL PROOF.
About the playset, once again, it's a good idea, but when you load this thing on the airport, it interferes with a normal take-off. What do I suggest? keep this as is, just lower the heights of the stands so that it doesn't actually collide with the thing, because let's be fair, not everyone will bother to take that initiative and actually remove or delete them. For people playing, usually it is just download and fly. And I'm well aware that you made it clear it's a play set, yes, I just would've liked it if I can just download and go... maybe read some instructions about how to start it up if it's a complex build.
About not using variables; You don't need that for screens, but I got your point. I agree with you on wanting to keep it simple and take that back, then there's also the argument of how the thing is technically a model only as well... so yeah. That's a full case closed unless you think you want to add some basic speed displays and stuff. I'll be here to help with that
TL;DR in case your in a hurry :
Response noted, I agree to the response about overcomplication, think that the playset should be adjusted in a way that is accessible and doesn't hinder the "Download and go" expectation, also think that the thing on second thought flies pretty great if you learn, but kind of hard to learn when the thing can't take-off without flipping (Unless you be gentle with it). Also suggest AOA limiters.
Good to know you actually took the criticism seriously even though some points seemed a little obvious at first though!
Aw man, I just got simpleplanes a few months ago... I dont want to have to buy it all over again :(
+8@overlord5453 YES. I'M THE ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD!

@WritersCrusadersAirCo2 thank you!

Wonder how it'd look if you uploaded your own iteration of the echostar.

+2@ThomasRoderick This man really had to come out and make everything anyone would ever need for a cockpit 2 years later, eh?
Can't blame him. I would have used every last one of these in the Echostar if I had the chance only because this some quality product right here🤌🤌
+2I just wanna say, that as of right now, 11 minutes after posting this... we have more upvotes than download... 💀

You guys had a hand in this. Sorry for the tag and thank you for being a part!

@Rjenteissussy Yeah, U/L3thaPredator said it's what happens when an F-16, F-18 and a mig 29 come together to have a baby. Thank you for the upvote
+2@Sadboye12 alright! You take care too! And thank you!
