It flies consistently at 907 km/h in 35,000 feet, when suddenly a Euro-fighter with Mach 2 appears.
The pilot of the fighter jet slows down, flies alongside the Airbus and greets the pilot by radio: "Airbus flight, boring flight isn’t it? Take care and have a look here!”
He rolls his jet on its back, accelerates, breaks through the sound barrier, rises rapidly to a dizzying height, only to swoop down almost to sea level in a breathtaking dive. He loops back next to the Airbus and asks, "Well, how was that?"
The Airbus pilot answers: "Very impressive, but now have a look here!"
The jet pilot watches the Airbus, but nothing happens. It continues to fly stubbornly straight, with the same speed. After five minutes, the Airbus pilot radioed, "Well, what are you saying now?"
The jet pilot asks confused: "What did you do?" The other laughs and says, "I got up, stretched my legs, went to the back of the flight to the bathroom, got a cup of coffee and a cinnamon cake and made an appointment with the stewardess for the next three nights - in a 5 Star hotel, which is paid for by my employer.

Newer model.
SP seemingly used to have a really cartoony art dirction, see the old Beast and the USS Tiny, but has gone more realistic over time. Also, the company has presumably grown and gained more resources for better assets.
Same with parts, newer parts are much more finely modeled and far more intricate in their function.
See: Heli Rotor, Custom propellers, the OG propeller.
Each has a more complex model than the last, and each is more complicated in customization, physics, and function.
It's not just visuals.
I'm just gonna say it:
People who delete their accounts, unless legitimately in a bad place mentally for other reasons, are total losers.
Grow up. You can walk away, but if there's anything I'll call a secular sin it's the destruction of information.
Anyways, I continue to hope that the physics engine is reworked in some fashion, even better as an alternative settings option.
While I understand wanting SP craft to remain compatible, don’t get me wrong, SP’e physics are not great and it’d be nice to be able to make some actually vaguely realistically performing aircraft. Really that’s the one true thing I want out of SP2, everything else is just a bonus.
One concern I do have is if it’ll send reports for, say, swearing while venting about some other user that pissed you off in an unlisted post.
People on this site can be annoying, not everyone gets along. Sometimes you need to blow off steam. Sometimes you want to discuss events with friends. Using another site isn’t always practical (trust me, I tried with some other users. It didn’t work).
If it always feels like you’re under the gun then this site could very quickly feel quite stifling. It’s a small box, sometimes that’s nice, but if you’re forced to share the same space with someone you can’t stand (and let’s be real, blocking does not prevent you from being bothered by them, only from interacting directly yourself with them) then it becomes… unpleasant. You may also be want to try to settle things directly with someone. That may not stay civil, but so long as it’s not public I think some lenience would be good.
TL;DR: I’d hope that unlisted posts are given a degree of exclusion from this system. I don’t want to be wished into the cornfields by some bot, always having to think nothing but happy thoughts.
Ah, but it isn't labeled mobile-friendly.
I Don't think I could run it.
...
OH! Is that a 20000 part battleship with the "mobile-friendly" tag?
Well, don't mind if I do!
Depends. Is it a realistic, well-crafted and intriguing tale of tragedy and ill fate, or is it "the plane crash, everyone die, so sad, it looked like this, the end"?
Great to hear the site is being kept!
Will there be some sort of clear marker, such as perhaps a coloured window, for SP2-only craft?
Also, will "Major Chad" be optional like VR is in SP1, or will he be mandatory? Personally I'd rather he was just an option. I prefer the SP world lifeless by default, with life being optional.

This is literally THE thing I want out of SP2. Everything else is secondary.
Even as a toggleable option, so SP1 designs can still work. I want to be able to make actually realistic planes.
SP1 compatibility shouldn't hold back SP2 from actual improvement. If it does, then SP2 is a pointless endeavour.
@GuyWhoBuildStuff on top of that, higher point users are more likely to have more valuable accounts with good stuff on them. Not everyone (see: myself), but more.
Reminds me of a joke (copy pasted from reddit):
An Airbus A380 is on its way across the Atlantic.
It flies consistently at 907 km/h in 35,000 feet, when suddenly a Euro-fighter with Mach 2 appears.
The pilot of the fighter jet slows down, flies alongside the Airbus and greets the pilot by radio: "Airbus flight, boring flight isn’t it? Take care and have a look here!”
He rolls his jet on its back, accelerates, breaks through the sound barrier, rises rapidly to a dizzying height, only to swoop down almost to sea level in a breathtaking dive. He loops back next to the Airbus and asks, "Well, how was that?"
The Airbus pilot answers: "Very impressive, but now have a look here!"
