@overlord5453 I appreciate the support, though I think at this point it's best to leave it to the moderators (so that some actual solution comes out of this rather than the post just being taken down for inciting conflict or something).
I'll be interested to see how the moderators handle this.
Also, don't forget that your comment history is still public even though they've been deleted from the post. Don't play all high and mighty about not escalating things. "Sorry no offense"
One could make the exact same argument about the two planes you've posted. Both your planes and the one you're referencing here use symbols associated with a very unstable current geopolitical situation, and both are fictional aircraft which makes the "historical accuracy" point unclear. (One could argue that yours go even farther by being much more up-front about certain perspectives on said conflict, but that's not the point.) If you don't see a problem with the ones you posted, I don't see why there should be a problem with this one either just because they are on opposite sides of said real-world conflict.
(Edit: I'd appreciate it if you didn't use ChatGPT or whatever AI you're using when you respond to this. I want to hear what you have to say, not the computer.)
@ShinyGemsBro on an entirely unrelated note do you still have that nuke that basically just outright deletes the vehicles of everyone in the server regardless of whether they have explosions blocked or not :)
with all due respect, getting annoyed by someone trying to use a giant ball to destroy you after firing a single missile at them is really funny coming from the notable hair-trigger enjoyer of giant physics-defying player deleters
I've had this as well, my guess is that there's some sort of memory leak or something related to the mod. As Monarchii said, leaving and returning to the editor generally resets it.
Oh this is fun. I've gotten it to within 0.1 miles but haven't gotten a hit yet (I'm assuming targeting the Beast while sitting in the container isn't cheating, since all I'm getting is a distance reading, not a heading or anything).
This comes down to the Graingy bureaucracy, really. Any good engineer knows how to work with design constraints, so if this engine is too powerful for your purposes, the design constraints were provided to your propulsion department incorrectly.
Alternatively, the possibility does exist that this engine is for an as-yet-unknown project for which it is indeed within the design specs, which again comes down to a failure of bureaucracy as I would expect the head of the company to at least be aware of any classified development taking place within it, even if they are not privy to the details.
I'm like 99% sure that the criteria is just "get picked by the devs because they think you'll be a good fit" rather than any hard yes/no conditions based on activity, time on the site, whatever.
As far as builds go I haven't seen much of an uptick in the weird ones recently. To be sure, there are some weird ones, but they don't seem any more prevalent than before.
Has been tried a few times before. What happens is that someone decides to use the anonymity for nefarious purposes (whether spamming, slurs, or otherwise breaking the rules), and then it gets deleted.
Thank you for all the work and time you spent making this and keeping it updated over the years; it's really been an immensely valuable resource to a lot of people.
You can technically change properties of multiple parts at once with a text editor like Notepad++ but it's also not impossible to screw up the build in a big way by doing that.
Say this stuff on your main account, coward, or don't say it at all. This doesn't make you look "cool" or "hip" or whatever the middle schoolers want these days; it just makes you look emotionally unbalanced and hungry for any kind of attention. Behave.
If that's the issue you're having, one way to get around it is to stack multiple cannons in the same location, and then disable aircraft collisions via Overload on all but one of them (so they don't explode each other). Having the game alternate between multiple cannons seems to fix the problem since it can let one part finish playing the effect while the others start, or something to that effect.
For example, I've made an A-10 gun that uses five individual cannon parts clipped into each other to get the same fire rate as the actual GAU-8, and it works pretty well in terms of audio and everything.
Post it to Youtube (Unlisted works if you don't want it just to be public), then go to the Videos tab on this site and hit "Create", then follow the menus. You'll have to verify your channel, which should be a fairly simple process, and then you're good to go!
@Saleplouck If you set the fire rate really fast, the same thing happens. The game doesn't have time to play the effect before the next shot, so it just skips it.
I think it's at least somewhat framerate-dependent as to what point it stops doing the effects, but I don't know for certain. The way to fix it is to just decrease the fire rate until it works properly.
@YOURGORILLA1246 I really don't know how to explain it more clearly. You put the text you want to be visible in brackets, [like this], and then follow it with the URL you want to link to in parenthesis, like (https://www.simpleplanes.com). That's all there is to it.
It'll work but you'll be more limited in terms of maximum performance cost (i.e. part count). RAM isn't the only factor that influences this, but it's one of them.
If you plan to use the device (assuming a computer?) for anything other than mid-range SimplePlanes performance, get 16gb of RAM.
@Boeing727200F Someone made an alt and started spamming slurs in the comments of various posts this morning, and then was banned shortly thereafter. That's literally all that happened.
Why it's still getting this much attention is beyond me.

This one's neat. A little heavy on the controls, but I love the design!

Is it a mistake if you're planning to make it in advance, or is it simply a poor decision?

That being said, this sounds like something that y'all need to deal with privately instead of spreading it across the forums.
This goes for both of you.
