That may run afoul of copyright laws though.
Fully dedicating yourself does also mean you won't keep making burner accounts to harass people here though, correct?
@ItsMENightmare Technically yes, though it would be more complicated than probably necessary (assuming that the problem you're having is the airbrake flapping on and off several times per second to avoid exceeding 620 knots).
To fix the above issue I'd recommend using something like this: (IAS>319) ? ((IAS-319) / 5.15) : 0
This will make the airbrake gradually deploy as the speed exceeds 620 knots (319 m/s), becoming fully deployed at 630 knots (319 + 5.15 m/s), creating a much smoother braking application. You can modify the values as you see fit and I can give a more detailed explanation of how that formula works if you want, but this should make a much smoother airbrake than what you're currently using.
If you specifically want the airbrake to snap open at 620 knots and then remain open for three seconds after slowing down below that speed (like, if that's a design element you're going for or something), I can probably figure that out too but it'll be a much more complex piece of code.
I don't know if the Crackhammer spawned a wave of people trying to make it fly or if the universal instinctive response to the Jackhammer is just "but what if it flew?", but either way I'm here for it.
The moderators spend their free time dealing with reports of spam, problematic users, etc. and making sure that everyone is following the rules. As far as I know they are not paid or otherwise compensated.
@LowQualityRepublic I mean yeah (like, there's nothing stopping you), but if you want to save the actual build instead of just a link to it, the file will be in the kilobyte range instead of six bytes.
Fun fact: Most planes are actually between 100 and 900 kilobytes. The 6-byte .splane files you download from the website are nothing more than the six-character aircraft ID that the game then uses to actually download the plane into the editor. It's basically a link to the aircraft page that the game uses to get the actual aircraft.
Your actual saved aircraft location is AppData\LocalLow\Jundroo\SimplePlanes\AircraftDesigns; the Downloads folder just holds the downloaded links to planes and you can safely delete them.
Now it shows the top users over certain amounts of time (week/month/quarter/year) in addition to the all-time points totals. That's pretty neat.
I'd been wondering when we'd start to see some changes around here in preparation for SP2, and I guess they're getting started.
Also, blueprints are only visible when in one of the orthographic views (looking directly at the front/back, left/right side, or top/bottom). Turning the camera will make them disappear, but you can move the camera sideways and zoom in/out.
@PlaneFlightX
P-51 (Simple): You've been around for a long time. Like, a long time. You like all the new features (wait, those updates were how long ago?) but deep down the game has always been about slapping a bunch of basic parts together and seeing if it flies, and the simple P-51 fits that to a T. You also have the original version saved because you missed the engine sound, and the OST makes you feel nostalgic in a slightly bittersweet way.
@PapaKernels
Bush Plane: Already addressed below.
Little Bugger: You forgot this was supposed to be a plane game the second that resizable wheels were added. You don't mind the remaster but feel like it's just a completely different vehicle (and you're kinda right), so you still use the Simple version from time to time. You can hear the tire screech sound effect just by reading this, and you haven't built anything with a propeller engine in a very, very long time. You also like go-karting in real life.
@Boeing727200F Normally I'd say just one per person, but...
Quadcopter: Either you haven't played since before 1.8 (and/or really dislike the heli parts for some reason) and miss the days of helicopters made with regular propeller engines, or you just picked it because you knew nobody else would. The Quadcopter is nobody's favorite. You don't actually own a quadcopter or drone in real life, though, and you vaguely dislike the Gator 2 for some reason.
@Boeing727200F
P-51-B: You like warbirds, but the P-51-D is too simple for your tastes. You prefer the razorback look, camo, and ground attack weapons, but you only rarely actually use them. You've probably adjusted the center of gravity a little to cure the spins that it likes to do out of the box.
@Axartar
Kicking Fish (Simple): You've spent entirely too much time trying to race the pylon track at Sky Park City, but that's okay because you're flying the aerodynamic equivalent of a sugar high. You think the Kicking Fish got shafted with the cockpit update, but honestly you probably would have stuck with the original anyway, and you think it's cool how much of the plane dates back almost to the beginning of the game. Your first original build probably used the Green Slime paint preset, and you have had at least one Red Bull (or similar energy drink) in the last eight weeks.
@MrPigee
Hellkeska: If you were around pre-1.11, the original Hellkeska was probably also your favorite, but the remaster is an upgrade in just about every way so you switched pretty quickly. You like swing wings and are a little sad that they're only on this one, but the non-Western design balances it out. You aren't the flashiest or the most popular (though you do have your fans), but when given a job to do, you get it done and you get it done right.
@Dissent3R
Bush Plane: Like the Sea Plane, you prefer to just soar instead of dogfighting or breaking physics, but you took "land anywhere you want" in a different direction and spent a lot of time trying to reach difficult places just to say you made it there. The original Bush Plane was probably not your favorite pre-1.11. You take a bit of pride in having what feels like a less common favorite plane, but in reality you have no idea how common or rare it is.
@crazyplaness
Wasp: You're ready for anything. You might not be the absolute best at any one thing, but you're pretty darn good at a lot of different things. The USS Beast is your second home, and you've watched Top Gun: Maverick at least twice. You may have changed the name under the canopy rail to your own.
@Numbers2
Gator 2: You only fly this one, never the Simple version because of how weird it looks in comparison. The Krakabloa convoy lives in fear of you, but they will hear you coming since you blast Fortunate Son and/or Ride of the Valkyries every time you prepare for a strafing run. You have landed on at least one air traffic control tower, and you might wear glasses.
@TheMouse
Vertigo: You're not afraid to be different, but you still want to maintain an element of "cool". You're a huge fan of the remastered version, and though you used to need a gyroscope for VTOL aircraft, your skills have improved to the point where you greatly prefer flying without one. Hollow fuselages, custom colors, and XML scaling are your friends, and you have made at least one joke directed against the British in the last six weeks.
@TheSalesMan Pretty sure a US copyright holder can still sue someone outside the US.

Funky Trees reads in meters per second, so you'd need to convert knots to that first.
That.

I've heard good things about Aperture, though they've been rather quiet as of late.

You can't just say "studies have found" without citing those studies; that's extremely poor academic practice. Cite your sources!
