@Graingy And here I thought this was SimplePlanes, not a news website. All I was looking for was one word.
In any case, thank you for clarifying and I'm sorry to hear that you think your hatred is mutual.
Move the wings lower. Generally, the position of the wings that you currently have would be more suitable for a twin-engine aircraft (the DH Mosquito or the P-38, for instance); the vast majority of single-engine fighters and attack aircraft had the wings mounted below the fuselage centerline, often all the way at the bottom of the fuselage. This is true for not just WWII but also well into the Cold War and the early jet era (e.g. the Century series or the F-4 Phantom II).
I'd also suggest making the tip tanks a bit smaller, but that's up to you.
Yeah, community accounts are not good. They have been tried before, and the results have always been the same: someone gets in there and posts something bad, and then nobody knows who it was because nobody knows who is in the account at any given time, so it just gets deleted anyway.
In SP1, missiles can be prematurely detonated (i.e. intercepted or shot down) with guns or cannons, but you have to have good aim because there's no way to lock them.
As for SP2, all I'm allowed to disclose is whatever's been in Dorian's showcases, so I'd recommend checking there. I don't recall anything being said one way or the other on it, though.
@StockPlanesRemastered That's a nice argument, senator. Why don't you back it up with a source?
(seriously please do, I can't find anything about this online lol)
It's not even a SP-specific thing, Honda is just really touchy about anyone else using any part whatsoever of their star airplane. FlightGear was one of the first to run into this, and that was over a decade ago at least.
sounds like maybe you shouldn't have broken your phone in the first place
you can't be upset at your sister for wiping the phone after you gave it to her so that you could buy a new one
It's a community meme that started with this build, which got upvoted into space for... some reason. This then spawned a whole trend of "German _" from people trying to achieve the same level of absurdity. I have no idea why the original was named that, but that's where it comes from.
kids at school actually having to pay attention and interact with their teachers and each other instead of staring at their magic light bricks all day? truly tragic...
FACT: Videogames are meant to be played for fun.
FACT: In many cases, fun is subjective.
EXTRAPOLATION: If you are having fun playing a videogame, and your fun does not prevent someone else from having fun, this is OK.
CONCLUSION: Build whatever and however you want. If people like it, great! If not, you still had fun making it.
Edit: Also, the guy who left that comment would like me to let you know that he wants to apologize and clarify what he meant, because it sounds like whatever was said came off a lot more harshly than was intended.
yooo fellow rolling line enjoyer
Yeah I've seen those on the workshop too (posted by steam username Shipwrecked, dunno if they have a SP website account or not but if so it's under a different name). They even state in the descriptions that they were built in SP, no surprise there.
(honestly it's not that great to do because the SP exporter keeps all of the internal geometry that Rolling Line doesn't need, so the mesh optimization is kinda bad, but eh)
I go to a cool place now called "my job" where they pay me money to do work. The downside is that I have four hours of free time a day instead of like fourteen, and I also play other videogames (shockingly).
I am doing stuff in the SP2 playtest though, which is pretty cool (you should wishlist it on Steam, it helps the devs if more people do).
Ye must certainly have made a grave mistake indeed to receive such a warning. Be alert, the seas in those parts be mighty unfriendly to uninvited intruders. Yarr.
@AviationLoverGEEK444 re: the road thing
One of the generals CSPAN had on for commentary mentioned that really the only risk of damaging the roads would be if/when the tanks had to turn or neutral steer, and that they'd put down inch-thick steel plates at all the likely locations where that might happen so that the pavement wouldn't be damaged.
It still boggles my mind that keypads are something that can be done in SP.

Not sure on mods, but you should be able to copy the aircraft URL from the website and then hit Ctrl+L in the designer to download it there.

@Boeing727200F nah that's just a quirk of rolling line, all the mesh files need to be, like, the size of actual model trains (i.e. very little)
